P90X

Re: P90X

I'm half way through the "recovery week" aka week 4. There's nothing much recovery about it imo. Since when is 2 lots of yoga, core synergistics (a kick *** workout) and kickboxing considered recovery.

Feeling good and have def improved in all areas. Looking forward to phase 2 next week and the different workouts.

I slipped up a bit on the diet over the weekend but still worked out so hopefully minimised the damage.

I did yoga for the 1st time yesterday and felt really relaxed and stretched out (pause) after it. The only bad thing is that it's 90 mins long.

Re: P90X

I'm kinda in the same boat (married and 30). I'm not really doing this to impress anyone but i want to be healthier, look better in clothes and not feel uncomfortable while sitting shirtless by the pool. I guess it can't hurt our marriage to both be in better shape as well (gotta keep the home fires burnin' ).

Our house is being finished this year and we will be having a pool so that is def a motivator. I could care less if i had a six pack (though it would be nice ).

I'm bout to be 25 and the only reason I work out is to look good haha.

I want that six pack so bad!

Yeah but your out there chasing that muff around so appearance is everything.

I'm not really enjoying this recovery week much, looking forward to getting back into it next week. This is the last week of the low carb phase of the diet so next week its switching to a 40/40/20 diet. I may stick with the low carb if my fat loss stalls but the extra energy to get through the tough workouts will be nice.

I must admit i have been surprised just how much energy i have had while on the low carb diet.

That is because you are not married. When you get married and you look good that is when temptations are tough.

Trust me and listen well. Try to take full advantage of that recovery week. It is really important to rest those muscles.

Re: P90X

I'll say this...

When working out hard eating right is much easier
Week off means slack diet

It's been my problem

Yeah it's mine too. For some reason when i'm working my guts out during the week with cardio / weights i stick to my diet more closely. When i don't then i also seem to let the diet slip as well.

weekends are tougher for me because of the free time. When I'm at work and things are going 100mph I make more of an effort to eat healthy.

Re: P90X

I'm the opposite, when I'm busy as hell I don't eat well or in six small meals like I typically do. I fall into the "big meals, stuffing my face" trap when I'm busy.

Re: P90X

January and work has been the devil to me and my program.

Such a shame because I was getting into a good groove. Working entertainment events and nights makes this hard.

Re: P90X

Just an update.

I was 5'9 226 lbs

I am now...

5'9 206

I lost 20lbs in fat in 3 months...I could of lost more but I gained A LOT of muscle. You all can do it to! Takes hard work and dedication...My quest for a perfect body is definitely not over...But it's getting closer.

EDIT: I admit that I was crying after I weighed myself...This has been very emotional for me. I was a borderline alcoholic I also admit I had no job...No good friends...And no future what's so ever. I now work full time and I made a lot of friends at the gym...And the lady situation has gotten a lot better. As most of you know when you work out you get confidence, and I notice a lot of girls checking me out and smiling. It feels so good. If you arent in this yet and you are depressed...Make the choice now and just DO IT! a few months from now you will feel relieved.

congrats to you bro!

I just cut my second go through of p90x short by 3 weeks. I ordered Insanity and am going to go through the 60 days of it, then 1 more go through of p90x after that, should set me up perfectly for beach season.

Are you only stripping to pay your way through school?

Re: P90X

All it takes is working out and eating right, but eating right is the key. And then after that is the consistency. You do that you can all get in get shape. Even with out P90X, but was is good about the P90X is he breaks it all down for you. I had some killer worker programs when I was younger and helped a lot of people get into shape. Maybe I should write a book.

Re: P90X

Yankeepride are you a stripper? Nothing wrong with that. Pared sounds like he wants to come check out your routine.
