Here a Hybrid workout calendar I put together. This combines workouts from Insanity, Asylum, P90X, P90X 1on1, S90D, & Crossfit. These calendars are a learning process for me so if they don't work well for you feel free to swap out workouts for something that feels right to you. My goal with this calendar was to keep things advanced and challenging but to repeat workouts throughout the month so that the body has the opportunity to grow and get better at a workout. A problem I noticed with my last calendar (Total Insanity X Plus) was that I was trying to keep the rotations as interesting as possible by fitting in all of my favorite workouts. The issue with this is that I felt like I never had a growth period with a workout because I only did it once. With this new month you'll notice just about every workout is repeated at least once so that you can track your progress and get stronger and better. A side note for this month is that I'll be doing the Recon Ron Pullup Program and will continue to do it until I exhaust the program (week 38) at which point I'll just extend it forward following the pattern. Hope you guys like this! Any feedback would be great! Attachments:

ok, now that I've been actually testing out this calendar I'll comment on what I've noticed for improvements thus far. On Monday and Wednesday I've listed "Med. Ball Cardio" than a big cardio workout to go along with it. My intentions initially were to use MBC as a nice warm up to the big cardio workout and if you use a light 4lb med ball that may work just fine, however, I own only a 10lb ball and by the "Warm up" burns too much out of me to be able to give the main cardio workout my all. My suggestion is to put MBC at the end of your workout and use it to extend your calorie burn and also build a bit of core strength. If you need to cut MBC a bit short of if you can't give it your all who really cares. I haven't gotten to the first Saturday yet but those WODs are spooky. I've chosen "Barbara" as my first.

I really like this calendar but if I am to make a suggestion of something to change it is to ditch the dual workout days containing "Med. Ball Cardio" and put in either nothing or Relief. For my the addition of Med Ball is just too much. I put it in because I thought it would be cool to have two 1000+ calorie burn days a week but I'm finding it's just too much time spent working out and it also really burns me out. If you are able to keep up with it just fine than by all means leave it as-is.
