| So you've seen the commercials, heard about it from | | | | of the same torture (at first, then you realize you |
| your friends or colleagues, but you want to know | | | | are a friggin' animal, and begin to love that stuff). But |
| what P90X REALLY is about. Not just "Oh man...it's | | | | wait, I'm not done! There are cardio workouts! |
| EXTREME!" Pull up a chair and I'll give you an in depth | | | | Plyometrics, Yoga, Cardio X, and Core Synergistics. All |
| look at the workout program that WILL change your | | | | of which will have you scraping the floor with your |
| life. | | | | tongue if you are not already a marathon runner. Oh |
| Let's get right down to it and start with the | | | | yea....I know someone who IS a marathon runner, |
| workouts. Have you ever bought a workout video | | | | and he STILL had trouble with these babies when he |
| that was a half hour or forty-five minutes of a more | | | | first started! Yea, these workouts are serious, so |
| talk than working out? Then the workout you do get | | | | you should be too if you want to tackle them and |
| is for beginners, or is better suited for your 12 year | | | | get in the best shape of your life! Did I mention they |
| old? Yea, me too, but P90X is not it. First of all, they | | | | give you a calendar and a workbook to track your |
| give you a full DVD on how to get the most of the | | | | progress and a 40-page guide to all of the workouts |
| workouts. The trainer, Tony Horton, gets serious, | | | | in addition to the DVDs? Yea...they do. |
| and gives you serious motivation to get the change | | | | Let's talk about the P90X nutrition plan now. So |
| in your body you are looking for. Then, they give | | | | unless you are a professional athlete |
| you a whopping TWELVE DVDs. That's twelve | | | | (actually....professional athletes can benefit from this |
| hour-long workouts! These guys are nuts! Not only | | | | nutrition guide too) you need this nutrition guide. It's |
| are they twelve workouts, but also if you are not in | | | | really like getting a masters degree in how our bodies |
| shape like a professional athlete, you WILL NOT be | | | | work. After you read the P90X nutrition guide, you |
| able to finish the workouts. I'm serious, and so are | | | | will want to sue someone every time you see the |
| the workouts. Their strength workouts are based on | | | | crap on TV and in the news about how to lose |
| circuit type training. The strength workout DVDs are: | | | | weight. Everyone is feeding us misinformation!! It's |
| chest and back; shoulders, triceps, bicep; back and | | | | crazy that the owners of these companies are not |
| legs; chest, shoulder, triceps; back and biceps and | | | | sent to jail!!! Because it's a crime!! The P90X nutrition |
| finally the "Ab Ripper X", as they like to call it. Each | | | | guide shows you IN DETAIL how EXACTLY to burn |
| one starts with a warm up and stretch, and each | | | | YOUR fat, and build YOUR muscle, not someone |
| one has a cool down period...so you are completely | | | | else's fat and muscle. They take you step by step, |
| done in 1 hour. | | | | calculate your energy requirements for rest, for |
| Now, I want to tell you about the chest and back a | | | | exercise, for everything, then give you a solid |
| bit more. Basically, you rotate a chest exercise, then | | | | number to hang your hat on, so you know every |
| a back exercise. It starts out with pushups, then | | | | single day, that you are either losing fat, or not. In |
| pull-ups. You will rotate regular grip, then wide grip | | | | addition, they give you meal plans, down to the last |
| then narrow grip and finally reverse grip (pull-ups). | | | | calorie, carbohydrate and protein, so that you know |
| Tony then has you doing some decline and incline | | | | EXACTLY what is going on in your body. No more |
| pushups, bent over rows, back flys and some crazy | | | | guessing if you are losing weight because the scale |
| military push ups that the Navy SEALS have a hard | | | | might be wrong. The hell with the scale! You don't |
| time doing. There are of course a couple other | | | | need it! It's throwing you off! Calculate your weight |
| exercises that I didn't mention, but they are all | | | | loss!! Then, in one month, look at it in your |
| variations of the above. So, with about 15 seconds | | | | pictures....you will be astonished! In addition, P90X puts |
| rest in between each exercise, you finish the first | | | | you on three different phases of your nutrition plan: |
| round and you are SPENT! Then he says...."This is | | | | a fat burning phase, a strength phase and an |
| where most programs are finished....but not us! We're | | | | endurance phase. You can watch you body change |
| not done!" And you look at the TV screen like.."Are | | | | each week in the mirror....it is totally crazy!!! They |
| you kidding me right now..I can't even lift my arms | | | | even give you an entire 90 days worth of meal |
| over my head.....and you want me to get back on the | | | | recipes. If you don't like those, they have a "Portion |
| pull up bar"??? Yea...that's right...get back up there. | | | | Plan", so you can chose your own foods and still |
| But, don't worry, about half way through the 90 | | | | follow the plan. Of course, the online website has |
| days....you're yelling back at the TV screen | | | | tons more recipes from other people that went |
| going.......bring it harder old man!!! (Oh yea..Tony is the | | | | through P90X who have submitted so others can |
| most ripped 48 year old guy you have EVER | | | | benefit. This is the most complete, real, and healthy |
| seen....EVER!) | | | | way to get super-fit that you will find anywhere.....I |
