Now that I know there's a typo with the Insanity/Asylum hybrid, it makes sense! I am a 45 year old female and I was in the best shape of my life when doing that hybrid. I certainly didn't feel like I was overtraining, but it was a GREAT challenge and I probably could've used a break around the time of the typo, but I just kept going. I have still been training all along (P90X2, Les Mills Pump, etc.), but just started Day 1 of Asylum today and was served!!! :-) I'm getting ready for the fall release of Asylum 2 and the Tough Mudder in Oct!! I love being almost 46 and able to do these programs! Thank you for such great articles and inspiration!<br />KimberlyKimberlynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-6168496518925890112012-07-29T07:47:10.244-06:002012-07-29T07:47:10.244-06:00What?

Then day 17 is Max Interval Circuit again. If that's a typo, what should it have been?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-63259423230016077502012-07-26T10:42:02.234-06:002012-07-26T10:42:02.234-06:00Now that I'm thinking about it, Asylum launche...Now that I'm thinking about it, Asylum launched with a major typo on one of the schedules where something like that day you mentioned got places where a rest day was supposed to be. So if something like that seems off it could be you have an original copy. We FAQ'd this and fixed it in the next printing and I'm sure you'll find in on the Message Boards.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-20797905965345469032012-07-26T10:38:52.070-06:002012-07-26T10:38:52.070-06:00Those hybrids are really just propositions based o...Those hybrids are really just propositions based on progressive overload. I'm not sure if it made it into the copy (hope it did) but they're designed for options ONCE YOUR DONE with the original programs, so they are post-post graduate programs following the "you've done Insanity, done Asylum, want more, try this". <br /><br />So with it in mind that you are adapted to Asylum, yes, Strength and Pure Cardio becomes on option.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-16289370911013548002012-07-26T09:46:28.726-06:002012-07-26T09:46:28.726-06:00Great stuff Steve.
Along the lines of overtraini...Great stuff Steve. <br /><br />Along the lines of overtraining, I've wanted to ask you a while about the official Asylum hybrids on the back of the Asylum schedule, especially the Insanity-Asylum hybrid. I'm thinking of giving that one a shot, but it seems to me a recipe for overtraining (e.g., Strength-Pure Cardio on the same day). How did you all come up with that one? <br /><br />Thanks!
