Insanity Workout Schedule

The Insanity Workout Schedule is one of the most intense and invigorating workout schedules I have personally experienced; it is certainly not for the faint of heart! Billed as one of the most intense workout programs Team Beachbody has ever put onto DVD, the Insanity Workout Schedule is focused on cardio in all of its glory. At 60 days long it might seem like something you would want to take on starting out to get back into fitness, but if you are a beginner in the workout world or have physical limitations like knee problems, you might be better off with another fitness program. And of course, any and all fitness training and workout programs should be discussed with your doctor before you get started; the goal is to get you in the best shape of your life, and being safe is a big part of that goal!Continue reading

P90X2 Review

So I wanted to give you my super top secret insiders look and give you my P90X2 review of what I’ve experienced and know so far.Continue reading

How To Take Your P90X Measurements And P90X Before Pictures

Taking your P90X measurements and your P90X before pictures are so so SOOO, very important! This is a critical step that a lot of people skip. They get so excited about starting P90X that they jump right into the workouts without doing the prep work. This is a BIG no no since the people that skip this step are usually the people that end up quitting and not finishing the program (and therefore NOT accomplishing their goals). DON’T become one of those people! Take the 10 or 15 minutes that it takes to do these easy, simple steps so that you are more likely to complete all 90 days of P90X and accomplish your goals whether it be to lose weight, get toned, or even to get ripped and bulked up.

So read on, because I’ll give you a few more reasons why you MUST take your P90X measurements and your P90X before pictures, and I’ll also tell you exactly how to take them.Continue reading

What Equipment Do You Need For P90X?

What Equipment Do You Need For P90X

So what equipment do you need for P90X? I’m assuming that you’ve obviously committed to starting P90X, so CONGRATS! The P90X workout is an incredible program that has changed my life (not to sound cliché) and it has transformed tens of thousands (if not hundreds and hundreds of thousands) of other people’s lives. I’ve been doing the program for over a year and a half now and I’m truly in the best shape of my life because of it.

If you are serious about getting the results you want with the program, then you must be prepared and have everything you need to do the program before you actually start. You don’t want to not be able to do some of the workouts or exercises because you don’t have the equipment that you need for P90X. “What equipment do you need for P90X,” is a question I get all the time so I’m going to go over exactly that in this blog post!Continue reading

P90X Phase 2 – I’m Fired Up! Are you?

P90X Phase 2

P90X Phase 2 here I come! It’s been quite sometime since I’ve done an update on where I’m at with my fitness journey (last time was in February) so I wanted to give you an update on what’s been going on, what I’m currently doing now, and where I’m headed.

The last I did an update I was doing a P90X Insanity Hybrid. I didn’t officially finish the P90X Insanity hybrid, rather I ended up just going back to P90X. I would do P90X and throw in the Insanity workouts every now and then (so kind of like the hybrid, but not as structured). I did that for about 3 months or so. I didn’t have any particular goals in mind during that time rather I just wanted to maintain what I had. Eventually I got tired of just doing “enough” to get by and maintain what I had so I figured it was time that I re-committed myself to P90X. So that’s what I did and now I’m in P90X Phase 2…Continue reading
