Gonna favorite this. This is gonna be motivation for me. I just D/L'd the P90X from a torrent. Still don't know what it is, just that it's an exercise program. Another friend of mine lost an insane amount of weight on it. I just wanna be healthy and get down to like 150lbs. I'm currently like 200lbs. I'm going to give this a run.
I have a question though... this is supposed to last you 3 months, after that do you stop and then get back on if you'd like or what? What comes afterward?
Well p90x is a 90 day extreme workout program, it's an upgrade from the power 90 Tony Horton made a couple of years before its release (p90x = power 90 extreme).
Yes the routine itself is about 3 months and is best to follow the workout schedule listed in the guide (can be found online).
The thing about p90x is that it gives you to tools and the motivation to handle any type of workout after you graduate from it, and there's other ways of making muscle confusion with the workout routines to keep challenging your body. So to basically put it, there's no end to p90x pretty much, if you want to continue getting in the best shape of your life. If you are happy with the results and want to end there, doing 3 of the resistance days (as long as their not targeting the same body parts) about 30 minutes a day will keep you on the same track. Anything extra and you will continue to push your body forward. I love this workout routine, i'm currently doing my second 90 days now (on day 134 right now).
The nutrition plan you probably won't find online. I follow the nutrition guide pretty well and it made me get my results twice as fast. I had a beach body coach help me with the nutrition part, but the meals you pretty much have to prepare yourselves. After getting an insight of what foods to eat and what foods to look out for the nutrition portion becomes pretty easy. I can give you a list of things that will be listed in the guide and what you should be putting in your body:
Wheat
Canola and Soy oils
Fruit (whole not canned or juice)
Chicken, Turkey, or Fish
Eggs
Nuts (not salted or sugared or any of that)
Natural Protein bars (these work great!)
Things to look out for:
White bread
Beef and pork
Vegitable Oil
Fruit juices (juice after a workout is fine, but limit to a cup only)
Processed foods (breaded chicken patties, hot dogs, etc.)
Milk (limit 1 cup, 2 cups is pushing it)
Carbonated Drinks
High Fructose corn syrup
That should get ya started as far as the nutrition portion. Out of the foods listed be sure to eat every three hours (i'll have to explain later why its good, it's a long post lol) On a good day (I sometimes fall on certain parts of the diet) This is what my diet can compose of. This is a list from morning to evening:
1 egg sandwhich (egg fried in canola oil on 2 pieces of wheat bread)
Six Star Muscles protein shake
2% Milk (1 cup)
2.5 tblspn of ovaltine
Cliff Protein bar
4 Oz. Boneless skinless chicken breast baked
3 pieces of wheat bread
Sweet tea (small amount of sugar
cliff hanger protein bar
4 oz's talipia baked
mixed vegitables (boiled from frozen, not microwaved)
sweet tea, little sugar.
After awhile you will realize you can start mix and matching things. Hope this helps.
@Oof Nice, bring it then! :) Do whatever it takes to get in shape, I can honestly say I really enjoy how I feel and continuing to get in the best shape of my life! I posted my results to give people some motivation and to answer any questions they might have had if thing thing really works. Well I'm living proof that it does. I get complemented all the time about my results and get asked for a lot of fitness advice afterwards. And on a side note besides the health and feel good benefits, women will check you out alot more once they see, and will want to touch on you constantly. Lol, well that's not the real reason why you would want to do it, but it is an added bonus in my book :p.
