90-Day Hybrid Rotation with Hardcore Series and P90X

[The Duck]

Well, after a year with P90X, I've decided to begin using Cathe's Hardcore Series as added variety (and, from what I've read, more intense cardio and legs workouts.

I've enjoyed reading lots of monthly rotation posts, and FWIW I'm posting my effort at a P90X-like 90day (13 week) rotation that features three phases: 3 weeks upper/cardio, recovery, different 3 weeks (swapping Tony and Cathy)+recovery, then 4 alternating weeks and a final recovery.

I got my very best results with P90X when I followed the 3 phases of P90X's nutritional program, so don't overlook food - especially if you're trying to lose weight during the 90 days!

OK - I'm reviving this post because I just finished the X and am ready to move on.

Has anyone done this posted rotation? What were your results like? Sounds like it is a sound rotation but just looking for feedback on this particular one?

If anyone else has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear it......

Thanks

Angie
