Does P90X Really Work?
Ok, so you’ve just heard a friend talking about the P90X workout, or you saw an infomercial for P90X Saturday morning while you were eating your Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. You’re probably wondering, does P90X really work? The very short and simple answer is- Yes! However, your success with P90X does depend on several factors.
P90X Pictures
So Jen and I just finished week 8 of our P90X workout on Saturday. We are now in week 9, which is Phase 3 of P90X (the very last Phase)! I know I say this over and over again, but it’s so crazy how fast this second round of P90X has gone by! This is Jen’s first round of P90X, but she said it has still flown by for her too.
Yesterday we finally had some time to take updated P90X pictures and to retake our measurements. We unfortunately forgot take new pictures at the end of Phase 2, so we only have pictures from the beginning of P90X, and from yesterday to compare. Jen has made some awesome improvements from the beginning of P90X! A few highlights of Jen’s results so far- lost 1.5 inches around her waist, lost 1.75 inches around her hips, and lost 1 inch in her thighs. Also, for the very first time on Sunday, Jen did her first ever pull up without using a chair! I am extremely proud of what she has accomplished so far!
P90X Recovery Drink Alternative
I’ve gotten numerous emails from people asking me for a good P90X Recovery drink alternative when doing the P90X workout. About 2 months prior to starting P90X for the very first time I started going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week. It was then when I started to scour the market for a good recovery drink to take after my workouts. I very quickly discovered the P90X Results and Recovery Formula. I ordered a tub of it and I LOVED it! It tasted so good after a strenuous cardio workout or after lifting weights. It also helped reduce muscle soreness, and it gave me the energy and nutrients I needed after a tough workout.
P90X Week 7
Jen and I just finished week 7 of our P90X workout! Phase 3 of P90X is almost here! Check out the below video for a recap of our week and for some exciting news (I saved it for the end of the video). Also, make sure to let me know how your week of P90X went by leaving a comment below.Continue reading
Ripped My Boxers During P90X Workout
These aren't my ripped boxers; I figured no body would want to see a picture of my boxers :-)
Yesterday was Legs & Back and something really funny happened during that P90X workout (I gave it away in the post title). My wife and I were doing the Three-Way Lunge With Two-Kick Option. As I lowered my front right leg to get into the lunge I heard a loud “RIIIIPPPPPPP.” My wife (Jen) busted out laughing. I looked down to investigate and I ended up ripping a massive hole in my boxers during the lunge. It was pretty funny! During one of the P90X DVD’s (can’t remember which one) Tony Horton jokes around about ripping his pants. I never expected I would actually rip my pants during P90X!
P90X Week 6
Week 6 of the P90X workout is finally done! As I mentioned in the P90X Week 5 post my wife and I had to push back our workouts by a day due to a crazy schedule last weekend. Today we both did Kenpo X and it felt great to finish the week off strong with lots of punches, kicks, jabs, and blocks!
Beachbody Diamond Pack
During round 1 of P90X I talked a lot about getting a set of weighted gloves to help step up the intensity of Kenpo X. Well, I finally got a pair! At the beginning of May, Beachbody introduced a new business pack called the Diamond Pack for Beachbody Coach’s to purchase to help jump start their business. It’s exclusive to brand new Coaches, but for a limited time they let existing Coaches buy it so I jumped on it. It has over $1,100 worth of fitness gear in it and Coaches get a major discount on it (it was a no brainer to get it). So when I got my Diamond Pack in the mail, I was very excited to see that there was a set of weighted gloves in it!
