Today’s workout was Kenpo X. This workout is getting a lot easier than what it was when I first started doing P90x. I have to focus on increasing the intensity of the punches and kicks so I can get a harder workout, otherwise if I just go through the motion, it is too easy. There [...]

Today’s P90x workout was Core Synergistics. I’m on day two of the recovery week. After three weeks of following the same workout schedule, it is nice to have something different. Staying true to it’s name, the Core Synergistics workout focuses on the core muscles. The hardest exercise for me in this one is the prison [...]

Yesterday I didn’t do Yoga X (I wasn’t feeling well), so today I did it. I felt great today, and I woke up with a lot of energy. I can do so much more in Yoga X than I could before. I remember when I couldn’t touch my knee to my forehead while in downward [...]

Wow, I’ve just finished my 3rd week of P90x, it has gone by fast. After next week it will really start to get a lot harder and more demanding because I’ll start doing two workouts a day 3 days a week. I’ve never followed the Doubles P90x schedule before, I’ve only done the Classic one. [...]
February 14, 2011 – 11:35 pm
Today’s P90x workout was Kenpo X. I didn’t start this workout until late at night, and by then I was so tired and ready for bed that I didn’t finish it. From past experience, I have it pretty well figured out that my chances of doing a workout dramatically decrease if I don’t start it [...]

I just read an interesting quote that reflected perfectly one reason why I’m doing P90x, and eating healthier. “For most of us, health will depend not on who we are, but on how we live. The body you have at 20 depends on your genes, but the body you have at 40, 60 or 80 [...]
February 13, 2011 – 12:31 pm
Today was the Legs and Back P90x workout and Ab Ripper X. I don’t own any dumbbells to use in this workout, but for now that works out just fine as I don’t feel like my legs are ready for them. For now my body weight is more than enough to get them exhausted. Over [...]
February 13, 2011 – 5:22 am
Man, just when I was feeling more confident about the Yoga X workout, today I decided I could do better so I started to lunge lower in the crescent and warrior poses. It made it a whole lot more difficult. My legs were on fire! I have much respect for the people on the DVD [...]
February 12, 2011 – 2:28 am
I feel great. It’s a new day and yesterday’s poor health is gone. I wasn’t able to do the P90x workout the other day, so instead of making myself do it and risk getting worse, I rested. Now I feel awesome! I woke up, ate a grapefruit, then ate some of the energy pudding I [...]
February 11, 2011 – 6:15 am
Getting out of bed was harder than usual today. I had a terrible nights rest and frequently woke up sweating. I’m feeling under the weather, so instead of making myself do the Shoulders & Arms P90x workout I was supposed to do, I’m going to take a break and get better, and then do it [...]
February 10, 2011 – 3:52 am
Today’s P90x workout was Plyometrics. It was a great workout. I felt good! I ate my pre-exercise energy pudding snack, and got to jumping. Got In Touch With The Wild Kangaroo Spirit Inside Of Me I had a lot of energy, so I was really able to let loose. After doing 30 seconds of the [...]
February 8, 2011 – 10:19 am
Today in the Chest and Back P90x workout I did push-ups and pull-ups until I couldn’t push up or pull up anymore. Fitness promoter Jack Lalanne did 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes on a TV show in 1956. Herschel Walker, a once pro NFL football player, and 7th place 1992 Winter Olympics bobsledder, is now [...]
February 7, 2011 – 3:10 pm
Today was X Stretch. I woke up and treated it just like any other workout, because it is important for me to work on all aspects of fitness. It felt good to stretch today, although some of the stretches that Tony has you do are quite uncomfortable. The frog and glute stretches are definitely the [...]
February 6, 2011 – 12:03 pm
The hard part of week 2 is over, now all I have is X Stretch tomorrow and then it is on to week 3. Week 1 was hard to get through, and my goal during it was to just make it through the week. Week 2 I wanted to do better than I did in [...]
February 5, 2011 – 12:37 pm
Legs, legs, then more legs! Ah! Having Yoga X, a workout that is hard enough for my legs, the day before Legs & Back makes the Legs & Back workout even harder. Also, doing Kenpo X tomorrow with sore legs is a little difficult. The last part of the week in the P90x schedule is [...]
February 4, 2011 – 3:18 pm
For today, the P90x workout I had was Yoga X. It went well. For the first time ever, I was able to hold Crane for the full 60 seconds. I was so happy with myself for finally being able to hold it that long without touching a foot on the ground. Yesterday after the Shoulders [...]
February 3, 2011 – 6:13 am
I’ve used dumbbells many times in the past, and when I was getting ready to start P90x in 2009 for the first time, I didn’t have access to any, and I also didn’t want to spend all that money to buy some. The alternative was resistance bands. I really didn’t think resistance bands would be [...]

When I start a workout program after not exercising for a period, mentally (and physically of course) I find it very challenging. The mental chatter in my head is for the most part negative when I am first starting a workout program. I think this is because at first, exercising is a heck of a [...]
February 1, 2011 – 8:47 pm
After my second time through P90x I didn’t workout for a month. This whole week I have been seeing how much I lost because of that long break. I had it planned when I was going to start my 3rd round of P90x, and until then I was going to do something else as exercise. [...]
January 31, 2011 – 7:33 am
A big sigh of relief. Today is rest day. After a week of P90x that quite frankly, has felt like electro-shock therapy, zapping me daily in an attempt to make me right again, I need a break. I’ve always enjoyed stretching, I think it feels great, and consensus says that it is beneficial. I was [...]
January 30, 2011 – 2:17 am
Kenpo X is a fun workout, it’s my favorite. I always look forward to Kenpo X days. However, today I hit a wall mentally about halfway through and just turned it off. Bah!
January 29, 2011 – 1:37 am
Today was Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X. The more I do the Legs & Back workout, the more I realize how much more work my legs need then the rest of me. My legs are my weakest area. More specifically, my hamstrings need the most work. My quads are much stronger than my [...]

I am now on Day 4 of my journey to get fit with P90x. Today was Yoga X. My main motivation to do P90x is to achieve better performance in life. Yeah, I do want to get ripped, but most important to me is to achieve a higher level of fitness. I want to be [...]
January 27, 2011 – 9:26 am
Today’s workout was Shoulders & Arms and Ab Ripper X. I still can tell that my body isn’t quite into the swing of things after taking a month off from exercising. I still did a lot better working out today than I did on day 1. Day 1 was a shock. Ab ripper X is [...]
January 26, 2011 – 11:41 pm
Man, I am so very sore from yesterday’s Chest & Back workout. It feels great though! I thought I didn’t do very well in yesterday’s workout, however, judging how sore I am, I definitely damaged them (it’s weird to think of it that way isn’t it?). In this case, I welcome the damage, because I [...]

It’s been about a month since I ended my 2nd round of P90x, today I started day one of my 3rd round. This time I’m going to try the doubles schedule which makes me nervous because the classic schedule of P90x is hard enough as it is without the extra Cardio X workout thrown in [...]
January 24, 2011 – 2:04 am
After a month off of P90x I am ready to start it up again. This will be my 3rd time doing it, but it will be my first time following the doubles schedule. The other two times I followed the classic schedule, which certainly is plenty hard enough as it is. I am choosing to [...]

After completing my first 90 day round of P90x I went from 182 to 171 lbs. I felt great, and was happy to have lost 11 lbs, but after it ended I made a critical mistake- I altogether stopped working out and eating right (read about it here – My P90x Horror Story – After [...]

Most people are sore after doing P90x, especially during the first couple of weeks. During my first time through P90x I was terribly sore for the first couple of weeks, but I gradually started becoming less sore after workouts once the first month was over. Soreness is something both the physically fit and terribly unfit [...]

I wasn’t able to convince my brother to buy Insanity from Beachbody, because he wanted to get Beachbody’s Insanity workout for a cheap price. So, where did he go to buy it? The same place millions of other people go to buy anything for a cheap price- eBay! When he got it he started doing [...]

Many women want a lean, feminine body but not a masculine, muscular one. Bodybuilders lift weights to get huge muscles, so it is normal to think that if a woman was to lift weights like a bodybuilder, she would get huge muscles just like a bodybuilder. In home fitness programs like P90x, there is quite [...]

If you have knee problems you may find yourself needing to take some of the P90x workouts more lightly than others. The Plyometrics, Legs & Back, Kenpro X, and Yoga X workouts may cause some difficulty for someone with knee problems. Plyometrics involves a lot of jumping and squatting, Legs & Back has several lunges [...]

A fad is a short lived craze that booms and then busts. Sea monkeys, virtual pets, and mood rings were all fads. They come and go once the popularity starts to die. Maybe you remember the below exercise fad that got people off of their sofa and “Sweating to the Oldies”? Will P90x Become A [...]

P90x is a serious program that will deliver results if you follow the program and give it your best. A great thing about the program is that you don’t need much equipment to do it. You’ll need a place to do pull-ups, and resistance bands or dumbbells. If you want to build strength, and build [...]

Who doesn’t want fast results? When it comes to losing weight, building muscle, and toning up, people want to know that what they are doing is going somewhere, is going to be effective and will prove to be time well spent.

No, you shouldn’t skip the recovery week. The recovery week is there for your muscles to recover to their full strength, so that by the end of the recovery week you are ready to meet the next phase full force. You will not get stronger if you don’t give your muscles enough time to recover. [...]
I recommend you don’t eat a meal right before P90x. Each workout is intense enough (some more than others) to require not eating a meal at least an hour beforehand. Large or heavy meals may require you to wait 2 hours before exercising. Why You Don’t Want To Eat A Meal Before P90x When you [...]
Many P90xers struggle with Yoga X. If you have never done any type of Yoga before, or you currently struggle with flexibility or balance, it can be especially difficult for you. Do you give up just because it is too hard? No! You keep trying. You keep going with the understanding that you may not [...]
MMA is a demanding sport. MMA fighters need to be in amazing shape to be able to keep punching, kicking, and blocking attacks and submissions throughout a fight. It is draining beyond belief. In fact, if the fighter isn’t feeling exhausted afterward, they know they didn’t give it all they had. This sport is all [...]

It may seem odd to see that the “extreme” home fitness program contains a yoga workout, but anyone who has actually done it can tell you why it is included. This yoga video, called Yoga X is the longest of the 12 workouts in the entire P90x system. At 92 minutes long, it is not [...]

I am rocking P90x the 2nd time around! I’ve lost 10 pounds so far and today I just started week 7 of the program. I can’t believe that I have lost 10 pounds, because during the first run through of P90x I lost 11 pounds over the whole 3 months. What am I doing differently? [...]
