Which Comes First... Insanity or P90X

So today was my first real test to see how my body would react to doing P90X after doing Insanity. Actually, yesterday was day 1 of P90X for me and I could tell right away with the number of pushups I was able to do. Today was Plyometics (jump training). If you know anything about Insanity, you know just how much cardio and jumping you do in that program. Well I must tell you, doing Plyometrics in P90X after doing Insanity was not that difficult. I was actually shocked. There were times towards the beginning of the program when everyone on the video was breathing pretty fast and I was breathing almost normal or at best slightly elevated.

When you decide to commit to one of these workout programs, you have to figure out what is the best path for you to take. My journey started with me doing Insanity first, primarily because I wanted to be able to focus on the moves of P90X in order to work on my form without being out of breath. I will keep guys informed and updated with what is going!! Just so you know, having someone share in the experience with you makes it even better! So if you are interested in getting one of these Beachbody programs, take a look here: Beachbody Programs or if you just need to chat about creating a healthier lifestyle, I will be glad to have that conversation with you.

Vitamix Creations 2 Blender Build Quality Review

I started hearing about Vitamix about a year ago and nothing was negative. Then I heard about companies like Starbucks and Jamba Juice that use Vitamix and I was pretty much sold.

A few days ago, we saw a commercial for the Vitamix Creations II blender. I knew we were quickly approaching the time when we would need to purchase another blender because of the fact that our heavy usage was taxing our current blender. Because we were using the blender on a regular basis, I knew that I could look at he purchase as an investment.

Today our new Vitamix arrived. Instead of doing one big review post, I will break it up into two separate posts: Build Quality and Usage.
