You like this burn out fast approach?
Just curious, why do you think this is thread worthy ?
Thanks Tony, I guess.
oh yes... we bought p90x last month... i guess i should start using it...
I’ll admit, I broke down and bought the P90X workout a week ago. I haven’t received it yet, so obviously haven’t started it. In my research, it was amazing that this program gets almost zero negative reviews or feedback from users. It’s worth a shot, although I remain skeptical until I try it.
Wait, learned people actually buy this stuff? I think I’ve seen the commercial for this product mixed in with the “coaching” (aka: create a website and make millions) programs at like 4 AM on the SyFi channel. I had just assumed this was another bowflex type rip off.
I have been doing P90X for 2 years and I am a big believer. I look like a freaking Adonis now! All kidding aside, I do switch workout regimens in the fall and winter due to burnout.
Has anyone on Free Republic done any of the other Beachbody programs (Insanity, etc)? If so, what are your thoughts?
I’m currently on day 60 of P90x. I wouldn’t say it will get me ripped like Tony and I haven’t lost a whole lot of weight (6 pounds) but I have better definition and it has made me much stronger overall. It is exactly what I needed to get stronger for some scrambling and climbing up mountains this summer. I’ll likely do a second round late in the year.
what’s P90X, pills?
For any estrogen-based lifeforms clicking on this thread, I can highly recommend Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred. It’s a little more monotonous, but you get that same “train til you puke” effectiveness while saving $193. After a couple months you’ll be able to splurge on skinny jeans guilt free....

Men’s Health - I dropped that magazine when they featured Obambi on the cover during the campaign for the 2008 election. I cancelled my subscription, citing their featuring of a communist as my reason. I got my refund, and I bet I wasn’t the only one.
There is only one method for weight loss:
calories-in vs calories-out.
P90X does raise the calories-out but if you can’t adjust your eating habits then its a long and lonely road. At 285+ I tried X for about a month, lost only 6lbs or so. My problem was I refused to change my diet and I was so out of shape I wasn’t getting much of a burn from the program.
Couple of months after giving it up (P90X) I finally got smart and counted up my calories for a day and was stunned. Since then I’ve changed my diet and without any exercising (yet) I’ve dropped 40lbs averaging about 2lbs a week. My initial loss was 6 or so pounds the first week so the weight loss was noticeable instantly, within just a day or so I had noticed a difference.
