If you’re bored then you’re boring – Harvey Danger, Flagpole Sitta
My high hopes for IA are not being met. I am coming to the realization that it’s not what I needed and certainly not what I expected. So instead of following the schedule I am patching together IA, RKC and even P90X and Olympic Style lifts to stave off the boredom.
I have realized why the Insanity Asylum program is only 30 days, because it’s boring. That’s right, I said it. You really only have 3 workouts that you can do that are of any functional use on a repetitive basis, I don’t count Game Day because it is more of a gimmick than a workout. Although it is a tough workout I don’t think is has value as a weekly repetitive workout. So left with a choice of 3 workouts, how could you possible go to 90 days? So I think that I am already about to jump ship on Round 6 which was planned to be 30 days and go into the Insanity Asylum and P90X hybrid. They outline the schedule as follows (according to online sources which I will check this evening):
Weeks 1-3
- Monday- Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
- Tuesday- Plyometric Cardio Circuit
- Wednesday- Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
- Thursday- Pure Cardio
- Friday- Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
- Saturday- Cardio Power & Resistance
- Sunday- Rest, Yoga, or Stretch
Week 4– Recovery Week
- Monday- Cardio Recovery
- Tuesday- Core Synergistics
- Wednesday- Yoga X
- Thursday- Core Cardio & Balance
- Friday-Â Kenpo X
- Saturday- Stretch X
- Sunday- Rest
Weeks 5-8

- Tuesday- Max Interval Plyo
- Wednesday- Back & Biceps, Cardio Abs
- Thursday- Max Interval Circuit
- Friday- Legs & Back, Cardio Abs
- Saturday- Max Recovery
- Sunday- Rest, Yoga, or Stretch
Week 9– Recovery Week (Same as above)
Weeks 10-12
- Monday- Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
- Tuesday- Max Cardio Conditioning
- Wednesday- Shoulders & Arms, Cardio Abs
- Thursday- Max Interval Circuit
- Friday- Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
- Saturday- Max Recovery
- Sunday- Rest, Yoga, or Stretch
Week 13– Recovery Week (Same as above)
Much as I hate the recovery week at the end, I am signed up to do Warrior Dash in 5 weeks so I think maybe a week to finish IA and then 4 weeks of hybrid will get me within my fitness goal. Add to that some RKC which I just can’t live without and some running (ugh) then I should be as ready as possible…
