The one thing I personally really like about P90X (with the admission that I've never attempted Insanity) is that they have three different programs within P90X focused on different things.

P90X Lean focuses on cardio and losing weight. For five of the seven days per week you will not need ANYTHING besides your body (Cardio, Yoga, Kenpo and Stretching don't have weights at all and Core can be done without weights). Then the other days, it sorta depends...Legs and Back you'll need either bands or a pull-up bar for the pull-ups and then Shoulders & Arms or Chest & Back (depending on where in the cycle you are) you need bands or weights-and-pullup-bar. There are videos within P90X that you won't even TOUCH under P90X Lean.

P90X Classic focuses on building muscle. More focus on upper-body strength. In the Lean Cycle, you do upper-body-specific workouts once per week. In this cycle, i think it's twice...also, P90X's Plyometrics (first seen in this cycle) is the single-most difficult workout I've ever experienced...

Then there's P90X Doubles for the maniac who four days a week wants to do Cardio in the morning followed by their normal workout at night...




but i've seen people who take the P90X discs, don't read any of the material or follow the programs and complain that they aren't getting results...whereas I followed the program for the full 90 days on the lean cycle and was VERY impressed...

if i had actually followed the nutrition program, used the recovery drink, and bought the protein bars, i don't doubt that my results would have been awesome...

what i'd LOVE to try to do (and I dunno if i have the willpower, honestly) is P90X Lean, then P90X Classic, then P90X Doubles, then Insanity...which would add up to a total of 330 days of working out like a maniac...then take the other 35 days and like, train for a marathon or an iron man or something...

due to a couple of busy days/nights on Thursday and Friday, I did three workouts in 24 hours...


i may not be able to move until the 4th, and then i will only be assisted through the wonders of alcohol.

Huge bump time.

We had a Planet Fitness gym open up recently right down from where I work so I decided to join it (got their black membership which is $20 a month and includes all sorts of goodies).

Last week my friend's Josh and Joel and I started going there well I started a diet last week too so after weighing myself today I dropped 9 lbs in a week.

I know that's not really a good thing but still 9 lbs in a week wow.

I've mainly been doing weight training since I get cardio at work (I run all over the store, well I don't run but you get the idea) and I'm already starting to see some results, my arms feel a little muscular, my chest is starting to look more like pecks instead of man boobs and my stomach is starting to go down as well.
