Power 90 vs P90X – Which One Should You Do?
Power 90 vs P90X
Power 90 vs P90X! I get a lot of questions from people asking me which program is better and what program they should start with. I’ll first get the “which program is better” question out of the way. When it comes to Power 90 vs P90X I don’t think either one is better than the other. They are both awesome fitness programs done by the same fitness trainer, Tony Horton. The important question that you should be concerned with and that really matters in the Power 90 vs P90X debate is which program should YOU do.
I’m first going to go into an overview of each fitness program, and then I’ll give you 3 simple questions to ask yourself that will help you determine which program is right for you.Continue reading
Tony Horton – Workout With The P90X Creator Part 2
This post is part of a 2 part series where I tell all that happened when my wife and I got to workout with the man behind P90X, Tony Horton. In case you missed the first post, here is the link to it- Tony Horton.
So the workout continues…
We did a workout where we worked our upper, middle, and lower muscles; it’s a UML workout as Tony Horton likes to call it. One of the leg workouts that I can remember that we did was the Mary Katherine. Tony Horton introduced the exercise as an “Old friend that he is very close to. Her name was Mary…Mary Katherine.” Of course we had to take it up a notch so we did about 50 or so reps. He also started talking about another old friend that he was very close too. His name was “Fifer, Fifer Scissor.” With the Fifer Scissor instead of leaning back as you typically do in P90X, Tony Horton had us sit up (in a V position) with our arms forward as we did the Fifer Scissor. It was freaking painful, but I make sure to BRING IT and I did it without stopping.
Tony Horton – Workout With The P90X Creator Part 1
Jen (my wife) and I got a chance to workout with the MAN himself, Tony Horton several weeks ago in Arlington, VA. I wanted to tell everyone about that experience and share some pictures and videos. First, it was an INCREDIBLE, EXCITING, and MEMORABLE experience! Jen and I were so excited to meet Tony Horton that we made sure to leave extra early in the morning so that we would be first in line…We left our home at 4:30am to be exact! :-) We ended up getting there a little too early (at about 7:30am), but in the end getting there at that time paid off-
P90X or Insanity
P90X or Insanity? That is a question I get a lot! People ask me if they should start with P90X or Insanity, or they ask if I like P90X or Insanity better. They both sound like easy questions, but they actually aren’t cut and dry questions. It depends on a number of things if you should start with P90X or Insanity, and it’s really hard to say which program I like better since they are two completely different programs. It’s kind of like comparing apples to bananas.
So I’m going to jump right into things and start with the first question…
P90X Before And After Transformation Video
I just put together my P90X before and after transformation video and I wanted to share it with you! I’ve been through 2 rounds of P90X now, and I figured it was about time to go ahead and make a P90X video of my results so far. I hope that my P90X transformation will inspire and motivate YOU to start the program, or to stick with it if you are already doing the program. Your hard work and dedication WILL pay off as long as you are 100% committed to the program.
So check it out and make sure to share this on Facebook and Twitter to help motivate and inspire others!Continue reading
Target Heart Rate Zone – How To Get Into The Zone During P90X
If you’re doing the P90X workout, you’ve probably heard Tony Horton say during Kenpo X to “check your heart to see if your in the zone” or something similar to that. During the below video, I’m going to show you exactly how to calculate your different target heart rate zones that you are going to want to work towards hitting during your workouts. These target heart rate zones aren’t just for P90X, they are for Insanity, or any other workout you’re doing.
It’s very important that you know your zone. By knowing your target heart rate zones, you’ll know if you’re at an intensity level that will give you the best possible results. You’ll also know if you’re pushing yourself too hard. Check out the video now!Continue reading
