Hello –
I am a mom of 3 in my early 30’s looking to lose about 5 lbs. I’ve been doing insanity (which I love), but some of the workouts have been getting stale for me, and I would like to start rotating in some other workouts. What are some good 40-45 minute workouts you would suggest?

In reply to Kevin. You'll obviously get the best possible results with the equipment, but do what you can! Doing something is always better then nothing at all!

I want to start P90 or P90x – but I travel approx 2-3 nights per week. Will my rsults with P90x be diminished without the equipment?

I have no idea how much weight you’ll lose! :-) It depends on too many things. Check out this post regarding when you should see results (it’s the same answer to your question) since it will give you more insight – https://trek2befit.com/when-will-you-see-results

Thanks a lot for a quick and very appropriate reply. I would try P90. I think it would help me in gaining my objectives. You seems have real insight of physical training, I hope some day you yourself would design a better Programme, especially, taking in to account, the people like me who some physical problems, middle age and shortage of time. Thanks a lot again.

In reply to Timothy. No, that's cool! If you're having trouble keeping up with P90X, then Power 90 is a great program to do so you better prepare yourself for P90X. Yep, you'll get awesome results...IF you stick with it and just do it!

In reply to Jonathan Register. Well sometimes I don't finish all of the workouts, I do like 30 mins of it and then I quit sometimes <_< I saw pics of people that got great results using P90. Would a skinny guy like me get god results if I just use P90? because..I kinda already bought it today, haha

As long as you are sticking with your nutritional proportions, and your daily caloric intake, then you’re good! Check out this post to learn how to get your proportions, and how to track everything-

Power 90 is easier then P90X. So if you’ve already done P90X, then stick with P90X!

Is the food guide good? I cant afford the nutrition plan on p90x.

Before i did the program i weighed 132. But i lazed out on some days and skipped meals. Should i do Power 90 first? I didnt develop abs(i have fat around my belly) or a large after after doing P90X, unfortunately,
