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
Does Insanity Workout Work?
Does Insanity Workout Work? I get that question a lot so I figured I’d create a post to answer that very question. The very short and simple answer to that question, “Does Insanity workout work,” is yes, however (and that’s a big HOWEVER), it depends on the actions YOU take.
Does Insanity Workout Work
You see, Insanity is just a tool just like every other fitness program out there. It isn’t going to magically transform you into a super model or melt all of the fat on your body away. It takes work on your end to make that actually happen! The Insanity workout program is a system of workout routines that you MUST follow if you want to get the incredible results that you’ve heard about. It’s a tool to use to help you accomplish your health, fitness, and weight loss goals. With that in mind, let’s continue on with the Does Insanity workout work blog post…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-
Insanity Results
My Insanity Results are in!!! It’s crazy to say this, but I just finished my FIRST round of Insanity! If you would have asked me about this time last year if I thought I would have ever attempt to even try this program, I would have laughed at you very loudly! :-) At that point I was just starting my first round of P90X, and that program alone seemed like a HUGE mountain to get over. Insanity was like the Mount Everest of fitness programs and is focused on my biggest weakness at that time, endurance and cardio. That’s why I’m so pumped up to tell you about my Insanity results.
First, before I jump into my Insanity results, let me give you an overview of this program in case you don’t know about it…Continue reading
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…
