Often times people mistake P90X for PX90 – Lets clear this up and talk about the real deal which is P90X.

Good, now that we have cleared that up let’s get into the real meat and potatoes.

First off – What is P90X?

P90X is an intense 12 Disc Workout at Home system designed by BeachBody and led by the famous and highly motivating Tony Horton. P90X is designed around a method called “Muscle Confusion” The idea is you challenge your muscles at random throughout the 90 days so that you never get used to any one thing. This prevents Muscle Plateau and therefore in theory will allow huge muscle gains and big fat loss. Don’t worry ladies – There are variations for every move that allow you to avoid gaining unwanted muscle mass but get you ripped and in the best shape of your life.

I was immediately drawn to this program for the simple fact that it looked tough – I love a challenge and P90X is sure to deliver. Many people ask if P90X works – Coming from someone that has completed 90 days my answer is simply – Yes!

You are constantly challenged and with each phase (There are Three) you become increasingly strong and toned. I noticed results within the first 30 days, not just some small stuff here and there but some big gains! I started day 1 only able to complete about 3-5 chin ups – Now I can do 15-20.

Tony will continue to keep you challenged all the way through your 90 days. It takes time and some days you may find it hard to get moving, but within the first 5 minutes after pushing play you will be ready to Bring It!

What is so incredible about P90X is the variations of exercise. You work you mind, body, and spirit all in one package.

One day you will be lifting weights pushing your max reps – The next day your throwing punches and kicks with Kenpo – The next day your twisting and bending and posing with Yoga. It all comes together into one complete system that WILL Absolutely without a doubt get you to your fitness goals. The key is that you Must Push Play, You have to bring it, You have to Work for It!

P90X requires dedication, it requires the proper mindset that no matter what, you will push play. It is very intense and the first couple weeks into the program truly are intimidating. You Will be sore without a doubt, you will be tired, but the key is to push play anyway and do your best. Tony gives you all kinds of variations and chances to rest and recover if you need to. There is no room for the excuse “It’s to intense for me” because you can take it at your pace. Thing’s Will get better in time I absolutely promise you.

P90X Changed my life and my Body – It Will do the same for you but you Have To Bring It!

So – Does P90X (PX90) Work? Yes! Take it from someone who is 2 days from day 90. I am a real person who got real results with p90x. I did nothing special except do the workouts and eat healthy, that’s it. No special twisting, bending, contracting machine required. Just some weights, a Yoga Mat, P90X, and dedication to my Body and my Journey.

If you are wondering, does p90x work? I can tell you first hand that it DOES but you must show up and follow the plan to the best of your ability. If you cannot commit to fitness and nutrition then it won’t work. If you CAN commit and you are ready to change your life, buy p90x and start immediately!

I have a fun and challenging P90X challenge for you! I came across this challenge from another P90X’r and decided after bringing it for 90-days personally that I HAD to do this. Now that I have taken the challenge I challenge YOU to do the same. Doesn’t matter how many you can get, just give it a try!

The great thing about this challenge, even if you are on day 1 of P90X, is you can come back and try again! See how many you can do now and then in another month, or maybe even after 90-days, come back and try again!

Here is the P90X Mason Twist Challenge

I’m looking out the window as I sip my coffee and open my eye’s this morning.

This will be a full day of P90X – I have two workouts to complete, day 82 Legs and Back, and also Day 83 Kenpo. Yesterday I did not wake up with enough time to workout in the am and work went late into the evening, my energy was low and I decided to pick up today after a full nights sleep.

It’s down to the last nitty gritty – I have only 7 days left and what a ride it has been… SO FAR! I will be doing a round two of the X but that is not until I complete a round of ChaLean Extreme ( Starting March 17th)

In round two I will focus soley on diet and heavier weights. I had two 10′s and two 15 pound dumbells for my first round, combined in each hand that gave me up to 30lbs though I do not recommend this. Combining weights adds extra stress to your wrists which can cause injury over time. I plan to purchase 2x 30lb and 2x 35lb for ChaLean, I think that should be sufficient.

The other note I want to add is because of my lighter weights I found myself completing sets with the 12-15 rep rule more than the 8-10, I put on decent size in my arms though I know the results can be much greater. In round two I will also focus directly on the 8-10 because I will have more than enough weight in this round. Expect highlights for the X/X+ starting in June 09 – Until then it will be the final days of round 1 followed with a round of ChaLean!

I am just getting ready to do my p90x workout legs and back routine – today I plan to really push myself in the chin ups, I am very curious to see how many reps I can pull off. I got my new P90X black sleeveless shirt so obviously I will do an automatic 10 more reps…. Kidding :) . I will follow up with Ab Ripper and then later tonight I will be doing Kenpo (Expect an update later).

Since I am writing this before my workout I don’t really have much to tell you… However, I will add that I have started working out in the am more or less and it has made my life so much easier. The idea of getting the workout done and out of the way for the day really takes some unwanted stress away.

Think about getting up and starting by 8-9am which will have you completed by 10-11am. It’s such an amazing feeling to know you have worked yourself and you have the whole day to focus elsewhere instead of delaying your fitness. When working out in the morning though I am slow to get moving, I always feel like a million bucks for the rest of the day, and that’s always an added benefit!

One more update: ChaLean Team Xtreme starts on March 17th, 2009, if you don’t know what ChaLean is and you are interested, get in contact with me! My friend Charles Leslie and I will be going at it and dominating Youtube! Join our team if you want to have huge team support as you go through!
