Re: P90x
I haven't experienced anything that gets your heart rate up as quickly as with a KB. It's a great compact workout, about 20-25 minutes is all you really need.

Re: P90x
Also, to quote Dirtbag, the most basic way to lose weight is calories in and calories out.
You could exercise your ass off (cardio weight lifting, running, etc.), eat crap and lose weight. You could also not work out a bit and eat correctly and still lose weight. It's just about burning more than you put in your body. Exercise definitely does just that.

Re: P90x
7 days in to the Power 90 program and I'm feeling pretty good. The workouts aren't overly difficult but you definitely work up a good sweat. If you can commit to anything 6 days per week you're bound to see some results.

My shoveling of the Blizzards of 2010 derailed me a bit with my current workout for that week. I was so damn sore from shoveling. hopefully you don't have much shoveling to do that it interferes with power 90. In the end you are still burning calories.

Re: P90x
Luckily for me snow removal is included as part of my HOA dues.

Oh the same for all of my older neighbors as well because they guilt me into doing it. that is a nice perk considering where you live, usually you get perks like that in a Florida HOA.

I was sore and stiff after the first 2 workouts, but then I took an off day, and the following workout after that I was fine. I feel like after day 4 I kinda broke through that wall. I would say I was in moderately good shape to start with. 3-4 trips to the gym per week, usually 30 minutes a shot on the elliptical or stair climber, some weights, kettlebells, etc. After 11 days with this program I'm already feeling in much better shape, endurance and strength wise. |

Re: P90x
My Power 90 Blog
looks like you are still going strong, i'm on my sixth day and i can't wait for the rest day, i feel like i should have used it earlier since i'm pretty damn sore mostly quads and triceps. i can definitley feel and see it working, i didn't have much weight to lose i just wanted to try and get some definition. and the bands are actually kicking my ass those things are a bitch, i might break down and buy a set of multiple weighted dumbbells, anybody have any recomendations on a set that isn't too expensive but aren't pos either?

Re: P90x
^^If you're feeling worn out take the rest day, especially when you're starting out. I took my first rest day on day 3, I really needed it and it definitely helped.
Are you doing P90X? |

Re: P90x
power 90, i'm taking my rest day tomorrow, and i really need it. there is no way i could handle p90x after watching some of the videos, i honestly dont' think i could ever be that motivated. i'm real surprised at how fast the workouts go by, it's really not too bad. you would think that that jackass tony would know his own routines he still gets me everytime when he f's up the cardio workout, can't skip the side kicks. i definitley need to bring my ipod for the next workout though can't take much more of that music and i'm getting most of it down pat.
