The P90X Nutrition Guide 2008-03-07 08:49:11 The P90X Nutrition Guide
is the most important component of the P90X program. You can workout as hard as you want, but if you do not fuel your body properly, you will just be spinning your wheels.
The nutrition guide that comes along with the workouts is quite unique and was designed specifically to be [...]
Workout And Nutrition Log Day 183 2008-03-04 20:26:21 For day 183 I did Power 90 Master’s Series Cardio Intervals. There have been a lot of studies indicating the intervals are much more efficient at burning calories in a shorter period of time than regular aerobics and other cardio workouts. I worked up a good sweat and it was a nice [...] Read more:Workout
P90X Ab Ripper X 2008-03-04 09:06:07 Ab Ripper
X may be the toughest ab workout that many people have ever done. I guess I would even call this a core workout more than an ab workout because you are doing moves that use your hip flexors and other areas of your core.
Ab Ripper X is just over 16 minutes long. [...]
P90X Day 182 2008-03-03 21:31:40 Day 182 was actually yesterday, but I got busy and didn’t get a chance to post. I had a pretty good workout. As I said, after finishing 2 rounds of P90X back to back I am taking a little bit of a break and changing up my workouts. Last night I did [...]
P90X Day 181 Rest Day 2008-03-01 20:52:36 I finished my second round of P90X yesterday and today I had a much need rest. The past week was a recovery week, which isn’t much of a recovery week to most people considering I had core synergisitics twice this week. I still think core synergistics is the hardest workout of the bunch.
I [...]
P90X KenpoX 2008-02-29 20:04:59 Kenpo X is the workout that is scheduled on day six of every week except recovery weeks. This is a nice change from the workouts that you have been doing the rest of the week. Kenpo X is basically a kickboxing routine where you are throwing a lot of punches and kicks, blocks, [...]
P90X Legs and Back 2008-02-27 19:41:42 P90X legs and back was a workout that use to scare me. It would kick my behind every time. Now I actually look forward to this workout.
Like most of the other P90X workouts, legs and back is approximately one hour long including warm-up and cool down. During this workout you do 8 [...]
P90X Yoga X 2008-02-26 12:11:53 Yoga X may be one of the most important workouts in the entire P90X program. It is the only workout that is done every week and twice durint recovery weeks. Tony Horton says that when you do Yoga you are dipping your toe in the fountain of youth.
This is the longest of the [...]
Changing My P90X Workout Log 2008-02-26 11:48:47 I feel like I’m cluttering up the blog posting my workout logs everyday, so I’ve decided to post my log on a weekly basis instead of daily and see how it goes. I will post on Saturdays which are my rest days what I I did for the previous week, how it went, and how [...] Read more:Workout

Workout Log Day 189 And 190 2008-03-11 07:38:01 I guess I have unofficially began a round of P90X+. I was waiting for my wife to finish her round of P90X and then we were going to start a round of P90X+ together, but I got bored, so I will just have my round be a week longer.
Sunday, Day 189 - I did [...] Read more:Workout
The P90X Workouts, Chest, Shoulders And Tris 2008-03-10 09:06:29 Once you start phase 2 of P90X you will start to mix things up a little. This is where the whole muscle confusion concept comes into play. Instead of doing Chest
& Back on day 1, you will switch to Chest, Shoulders
, and Tris. This workout will nail your chest like never [...]
Workout Log Day 184 Through 188 2008-03-09 08:50:41 I have gotten lazy about posting my workout log lately so here it is…
Day 184 - I did P90X+ Upper Plus and Abs Core Plus. I don’t want to get into P90X plus too much yet because I haven’t finished reviewing all of the P90X workouts yet, but this was a nice change of [...] Read more:Workout
Workout Log Day 191 Through 193 2008-03-13 20:15:35 Day 191 - I continued my P90X+ workouts by doing Total Body Plus. Great workout.
Day 192 - As always, Wednesdays are my yoga days. Had a great yoga session. This workout always revitalizes me for the rest of the week.
Day 193 - I thought I would change things up tonight. I got a new kettlebell [...] Read more:Workout
The P90X Workouts - Back and Biceps 2008-03-16 12:53:49 P90X Back and Biceps is another workout that you start doing during the second phase if you are following the classic or the doubles version of the program.
Talk about getting a pump going in your biceps. Your arms are going to burn after (and during) this workout. Back and Biceps consists of 24 [...]
P90X Transformation Challenge Winners 2008-03-18 08:51:45 I thought I would post some videos some of the friends that I have met over at Team Beachbody (formerly known as Million Dollar Body). They have a monthly contest where you can enter and they pic 4 men and 4 women. One man and one woman win $10,000 and the other six [...] Read more:Transformation

The P90X Recovery Drink 2008-03-22 15:04:07 I have seen a number of people who are concerned about the sugar content of the P90X RecoveryDrink
, so I thought I would explain a little about the key components of this drink.
What Occurs After Exercise
After exercise your muscles are primarily is a catabolic state. ATP and creatine phosphate levels are depleted, glycogen [...]
10 Urban Food Myths 2008-03-29 06:06:35 I read this article in my Team Beachbody newsletter and thought I would pass it around.

There have always been rumors spread about food. Remember the one about the Kentucky Fried rat or Mikey, the kid from the Life cereal commercials, who allegedly expired after washing down his Pop Rocks with a Coca-Cola? These, [...] Read more:Urban

The P90X Workouts - Core Synergistics 2008-04-13 07:35:13 In my opinion Core Synergisitics is the most difficult workout in the P90X program. This workout is only done during the recovery weeks unless you are doing the lean version of the program and then it is done every week.
You should start doing the exercises in Core Synergisitcs without waits when you first [...]
