| workouts! These guys are nuts! Not only are | | | | (actually....professional athletes can |
| they twelve workouts, but also if you are not | | | | benefit from this nutrition guide too) you |
| in shape like a professional athlete, you | | | | need this nutrition guide. It's really like |
| WILL NOT be able to finish the workouts. I'm | | | | getting a masters degree in how our bodies |
| serious, and so are the workouts. Their | | | | work. After you read the P90X nutrition |
| strength workouts are based on circuit type | | | | guide, you will want to sue someone every |
| training. The strength workout DVDs are: | | | | time you see the crap on TV and in the news |
| chest and back; shoulders, triceps, bicep; | | | | about how to lose weight. Everyone is feeding |
| back and legs; chest, shoulder, triceps; back | | | | us misinformation!! It's crazy that the |
| and biceps and finally the "Ab Ripper X", as | | | | owners of these companies are not sent to |
| they like to call it. Each one starts with a | | | | jail!!! Because it's a crime!! The P90X |
| warm up and stretch, and each one has a cool | | | | nutrition guide shows you IN DETAIL how |
| down period...so you are completely done in 1 | | | | EXACTLY to burn YOUR fat, and build YOUR |
| hour. | | | | muscle, not someone else's fat and muscle. |
| | | | They take you step by step, calculate your |
| Now, I want to tell you about the chest and | | | | energy requirements for rest, for exercise, |
| back a bit more. Basically, you rotate a | | | | for everything, then give you a solid number |
| chest exercise, then a back exercise. It | | | | to hang your hat on, so you know every single |
| starts out with pushups, then pull-ups. You | | | | day, that you are either losing fat, or not. |
| will rotate regular grip, then wide grip then | | | | In addition, they give you meal plans, down |
| narrow grip and finally reverse grip | | | | to the last calorie, carbohydrate and |
| (pull-ups). Tony then has you doing some | | | | protein, so that you know EXACTLY what is |
| decline and incline pushups, bent over rows, | | | | going on in your body. No more guessing if |
| back flys and some crazy military push ups | | | | you are losing weight because the scale might |
| that the Navy SEALS have a hard time doing. | | | | be wrong. The hell with the scale! You don't |
| There are of course a couple other exercises | | | | need it! It's throwing you off! Calculate |
| that I didn't mention, but they are all | | | | your weight loss!! Then, in one month, look |
| variations of the above. So, with about 15 | | | | at it in your pictures....you will be |
| seconds rest in between each exercise, you | | | | astonished! In addition, P90X puts you on |
| finish the first round and you are SPENT! | | | | three different phases of your nutrition |
| Then he says...."This is where most programs | | | | plan: a fat burning phase, a strength phase |
| are finished....but not us! We're not done!" | | | | and an endurance phase. You can watch you |
| And you look at the TV screen like.."Are you | | | | body change each week in the mirror....it is |
| kidding me right now..I can't even lift my | | | | totally crazy!!! They even give you an entire |
| arms over my head.....and you want me to get | | | | 90 days worth of meal recipes. If you don't |
| back on the pull up bar"??? Yea...that's | | | | like those, they have a "Portion Plan", so |
| right...get back up there. But, don't worry, | | | | you can chose your own foods and still follow |
| about half way through the 90 days....you're | | | | the plan. Of course, the online website has |
| yelling back at the TV screen | | | | tons more recipes from other people that went |
| going.......bring it harder old man!!! (Oh | | | | through P90X who have submitted so others can |
| yea..Tony is the most ripped 48 year old guy | | | | benefit. This is the most complete, real, and |
| you have EVER seen....EVER!) | | | | healthy way to get super-fit that you will |
| | | | find anywhere.....I can guarantee that!!! |
