| and gives you serious motivation to get the change | | | | unless you are a professional athlete |
| in your body you are looking for. Then, they give | | | | (actually.professional athletes can benefit from this |
| you a whopping TWELVE DVDs. Thats twelve | | | | nutrition guide too) you need this nutrition guide. Its |

| shape like a professional athlete, you WILL NOT be | | | | will want to sue someone every time you see the |
| able to finish the workouts. Im serious, and so are | | | | crap on TV and in the news about how to lose |
| the workouts. Their strength workouts are based on | | | | weight. Everyone is feeding us misinformation!! Its |
| circuit type training. The strength workout DVDs are: | | | | crazy that the owners of these companies are not |
| chest and back; shoulders, triceps, bicep; back and | | | | sent to jail!!! Because its a crime!! The P90X nutrition |
| legs; chest, shoulder, triceps; back and biceps and | | | | guide shows you IN DETAIL how EXACTLY to burn |
| finally the Ab Ripper X, as they like to call it. Each | | | | YOUR fat, and build YOUR muscle, not someone |
| one starts with a warm up and stretch, and each | | | | elses fat and muscle. They take you step by step, |
| one has a cool down periodso you are completely | | | | calculate your energy requirements for rest, for |
| done in 1 hour. | | | | exercise, for everything, then give you a solid |
| Now, I want to tell you about the chest and back a | | | | number to hang your hat on, so you know every |
| bit more. Basically, you rotate a chest exercise, then | | | | single day, that you are either losing fat, or not. In |
| a back exercise. It starts out with pushups, then | | | | addition, they give you meal plans, down to the last |
| pull-ups. You will rotate regular grip, then wide grip | | | | calorie, carbohydrate and protein, so that you know |
| then narrow grip and finally reverse grip (pull-ups). | | | | EXACTLY what is going on in your body. No more |
| Tony then has you doing some decline and incline | | | | guessing if you are losing weight because the scale |
| pushups, bent over rows, back flys and some crazy | | | | might be wrong. The hell with the scale! You dont |
| military push ups that the Navy SEALS have a hard | | | | need it! Its throwing you off! Calculate your weight |
| time doing. There are of course a couple other | | | | loss!! Then, in one month, look at it in your |
| exercises that I didnt mention, but they are all | | | | pictures.you will be astonished! In addition, P90X puts |
| variations of the above. So, with about 15 seconds | | | | you on three different phases of your nutrition plan: |
| rest in between each exercise, you finish the first | | | | a fat burning phase, a strength phase and an |
| round and you are SPENT! Then he says.This is | | | | endurance phase. You can watch you body change |
| where most programs are finished.but not us! Were | | | | each week in the mirror.it is totally crazy!!! They even |
| not done! And you look at the TV screen like..Are | | | | give you an entire 90 days worth of meal recipes. If |
| you kidding me right now..I cant even lift my arms | | | | you dont like those, they have a Portion Plan, so you |
| over my head..and you want me to get back on the | | | | can chose your own foods and still follow the plan. |
