Insanity: The Asylum Review

Insanity: The Asylum review.  Well I just finished up my 30 days with Insanity: The Asylum with Shaun T and I want to put my thoughts down in writing about this awesome work out program before I have the chance to forget anything.  First off, I want to say that I really have never done [...]

Does P90X Use Weights?

So you are ready to get started with the P90X exercise program but you are wondering if P90X uses weights? The answer is you have two options.  You can either use weights/dumbbells or you can use resistance bands. The choice is up to you and you will get great results with either choice. Personally I [...]

Day 4 And Put In My Place!

Day 4 of Insanity: The Asylum – I was not expecting this.  I consider myself in good shape and although I was nervous about starting Asylumthe first three days were really difficult but I know I can improve on them in a short time -then came today Vertical Plyo.  I have never experienced anything so [...]

P90x Round 3 Doubles Day 17

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 [...]

P90x Round 3 Doubles Day 10

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 [...]

Weight Training For Women – Why Women Have A Hard Time Building Big Muscles

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 [...]

P90x Weights – P90x Dumbbells

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 [...]

P90x Day 59: Shoulders & Arms

My shoulders felt it in today’s Shoulders & Arms P90x workout.  I’ve been working on pushing myself to muscle failure.  I don’t really care about putting on much muscle mass right now, I just want to work as hard as I can so I can lose fat! The resistance bands work great in this workout.  [...]

P90x Day 26: Core

Core Synergistics went great.  I noticed a slight improvement from the first time I did it.  You are supposed to tighten your core throughout the entire workout.  So far I lack the core strength to be able to keep it tight during every exercise. I found that for the P90x Core Synergistics workout, it is [...]

P90x Day 14: Already More Flexible!

I noticed that I am already much more flexible than when I first did the P90x X Stretch workout.  While it’s not really a workout, many of the stretches are really hard. I was pleasantly surprised at how much farther I could go during many of the stretches. It’s amazing how much more flexible I [...]

P90x Day 10: Need Heavier Weights

The lame resistance bands I bought aren’t cutting it. I was looking for something cheap, and I had no clue what to look for in resistance bands so in a hurry I walked away with some that weren’t even close to what I needed. I had to do too many reps in the P90x Shoulder & [...]
