So... I've done it. I've moved to Colorado and it's cold in the mornings. No running for a little while. I was hunting P90X for Christmas and came across this program at Bed Bath & Beyond. It is based on the same principles as P90X which includes muscle confusion. The program is set out with three strength workouts each week and two cardio workouts and a core workout each week. Three weeks on, and a week of "recovery" that includes a total body workout, a core workout, and a cardio workout. Then change to a different combination of moves and videos for the next month: three weeks on, one recovery week and return to the first plan for the final month. Very similar to P90X - heck even the strength workouts are named the same and focus on the same combinations of muscles. Chest/Back, Shoulders/Arms the first month and Chest/Shoulders and Triceps, Back/Biceps the second month. One thing that this program has that is not found at Beach body is Tabata Inferno which is designed to incinerate fat. 20 seconds on, 10 second rest for 4 minutes, rest a minute, go again for 30+ minutes - WOW!
The workouts are shorter. The longest video with Supreme 90 Day is 42 minutes long and that includes the warm-up and the cool-down. I have been doing Supreme 90 Day for 3 weeks and can definitely feel the difference. After the completion of the first month I am adding some extra to my program, in order to work up to P90X which I got in the mail. On strength days I am adding a Cardio workout (Cardio Challenge, Tabata Inferno, or Cardio X), and on Cardio days I am adding a core workout (Ab Ripper X, or Yoga Abs from Bob Harper's Inside Out Method DVDs), I figure that by the time I complete this program at the end of February I will be ready for the Big Daddy! If I stick to my plan I should be ready and ripped just in time for the summer.
