Anyone here working out with P90X?

[frankb03]

I can't imagine only working out 12 minutes a week.


By using a proper science-based approach to exercise you can be on your way to achieving the following in as little as 12 minutes a week:

Build muscle size and strength
Optimize cardiovascular health
Ramp up your metabolism
Lower cholesterol
Increase insulin sensitivity
Improve flexibility
Manage arthritis and chronic back pain
Build bone density
Reduce your risk for diabetes, cancer, heart attack, and more

That's the problem. There's so much misinformation. So many scams. A person needs to exercise 20-30 minutes per day at least 3 days per week.

Not P90X...but I'm about to try the Insanity videos...Just don't have any time to go work out at the gym anymore...(baby on board) and such.

P90X is EXTREMELY intense and very hard. INSANITY is harder. Insanity is mostly cardio. There's no weight training. P90X is 90 days. Insanity is 60 days.

P90X is half and half. Half resistance and half cardio. The resistance workouts won't give you big bulky body builder muscles. It will slightly increase muscle bulk while toning the muscles.

After I finish P90X I'm going to do a P90X/Insanity Hybrid workout. I'll use P90X for the weight/resistance training and Insanity for the cardio. Initially, my plan was to do Insanity after P90X but I don't want to give up the weight training.

listen
i have been in the fitness/gym business for over 20 yrs and can tell you this

ANY program will work if you follow it
p90x-q91y-i dont give a shit what it is
it has to be comprehensive(full body in nature)
progressive(increase weight/reps each workout)
time efficent(under 60 minutes
and if fat loss is the objective(a nutrition plan must be included)
that is it guys
buy the book "body by science" and it will explain all of it to you
also books by ellington darden are great resources
hope it helps

I was thinking the same thing.


Once my shoulder gets feeling better my ass is getting back in the gymn. Weekends on the lake aint far away

You dont want these puppies bouncing up and down while the boat is rolling

[jcindaville]

Frank...what type of results have you seen
How much time do you spend a day.
Do you do this at home or the gym.
Can you describe what one workout would entail.


Frank or anyone...

Thanks for taking the time Frank.

Chado I did google it and all I saw was buy the program for 39.95 a month for 3 months or something....as I am the google KING!!

You can get it for free at a torent site if you know how to download and have a DVD burner. Of course you risk getting viruses too.

I noticed a few peeps in here mentioned INSANITY so I figured I would add my 2 cents.

Granted I was/am in terrible shape when I started INSANITY 2 weeks ago, I did play CFB and was a boxer as well so I have a good idea regarding what makes a "tough" workout.

INSANITY is hands down the toughest workout I've ever done. I saw the notions that you shouldn't start it unless you're already in decent shape, but I said fuck it. Well, I wish I would've listened...lol. In all seriousness though, I would recommend doing P90x or something similar and then moving on to INSANITY. I've completed the workouts as scheduled, but during most of them, I've had to take breaks and I had to stop the 2nd one with 8 minutes left because I thought I was gonna pass out.

Anyway, think long and hard before you start INSANITY cuz it's no joke.

I agree 100% I've been doing P90X for 9 weeks. I'm in the best shape in about 20 years. On occasions when I feel like another workout I'll do one of the INSANITY workouts. Just this morning I did one of the easier INSANITY workout. On some of the routines I stopped 5-10 seconds before the end to catch my breath.

I highly recommend P90X first. Invest $100 on pull up bars and depending on your level of fitness and strength a few sets of dumbbells. Maybe 10, 15 and 20 to start. You can often buy them used.

You can buy the pull up bars online for $30. My local Play it Again Sports sells used dumbbells at 62 cents/pound. The pullup bars and weights I recommended will cost less than $100. As you progress through P90X you can add additional weights and push up bars.

I forgot to mention. There's 3 variations of P90X. Classic, Lean and Doubles.

Classic is the version I described above. Doubles is the same as classic plus there's 3 days of double workouts. The normal P90X routine and an additional Cardio workout.

Lean has only 2 days of resistance training per week.

Also, instead of weights one can use Resistance Bands.
