Anyone else doing this workout?

My fiance saw it on an infomercial in March. Jamey (Bender) ended up buying it before we decided to get ours, and after his first week we saw a difference in him. He eventually had to put his workouts on hold to work on the Jonna Hex movie, but he's started it up again. I've never bought anything from an infomercial before, but I tell you, this was a good decision. The whole marketing scheme behind it is kinda cheesy, but it works.

I just finished my first round and started my second round today. I've lost 20lbs and 3 inches off my waist. I'm not completely ripped or anything, but the before and after pictures are pretty dramatic.

Re: P90x

how long is a round? 30 days?

90 days

Re: P90x

not completely ripped? I struggle to believe that!

Re: P90x

pics or STFU!

to be fair matey it has made a big difference to you

Re: P90x

one of my employees has been doing this for a while. have to say i have noticed a difference in her appearance. this like any other workout all depends on how bad you want to lose the weight and your level of determination.

Re: P90x

he'll always be hungry girl to me!:p

yea, it's made a difference to him and my best friend also lost 30 lbs in the first 90 days. i really like it, it was just impossible to do it while working 13+ hrs a day outside in the louisiana summer! i just started it again yesterday so i'm going thru all the pain again. it's worked really well for clint and he didn't even follow the diet part. he just tried to eat healthier.

Re: P90x

i kill myself doing up downs, thinking positions and slices of heaven. it's quite the workout. i leave it to the gym for recovery days. i'd rather sprint up a hill.

Re: P90x

clint, I've been meaning to call you and ask how you've been getting along with this (and your job hunt).

And yes picts pls

Re: P90x

I thought this was going to be about drugs.

Re: P90x

smart gorilla marketing, using youtube to feature before and after pics. how much did p90x cost you?

Re: P90x

it's about $ 140 i think for 12 dvd's a workout book and a diet book.

Re: P90x

any consistent workout + good diet will yield the same results.

Re: P90x

yea but the results from this p90x are rather extreme.

Re: P90x

i'd be curious to see someone sustain those results. there would definitely be a leveling off period, unless there is a completely different p90x to follow. the first 90 days of any workout routine will yield the quickest results...sustaining those results is a different story. 30 lbs in 90 days is a lot, almost unheard of unless you're getting your stomach stapled, or unless you were really fat. i dropped about 30 lbs last year but it took about 10-12 months, with consistent gym excercise and a good diet. difference might be tho that i had ONLY that amount to lose.

Re: P90x

there isn't a leveling off period b/c it relies on muscle confusion. you do a different workout everyday of the week. there are 3 different workouts depending on what your wanting to do lasting 90 days each. so after you finish one you can start another. they do offer additional workout plans after you gone thru the first set. i've been meaning to call my friend in new york and see how he's been doing with it. he finished his first 90 day's probably in febuary or so. so he's already finished the second. i'll see where he is in it and how his results are and get back to everyone.

Re: P90x

im talking about the leveling off period coming after 90 days. that's what i was wondering, is there another p90x...like p90x2 and p90x3? there would have to be to continue to see improvement.

Re: P90x

sorry for the confusion. you have your choice of 3 different workouts to begin with. so after the first 90 days you start one of the others for 90 days.

Re: P90x

ah, gotcha. it's a great idea for people who want to workout at home. oddly enough, it's the same price as my gym membership over 90 days. key is doing something consistently...and changing it up and staying at it.

Re: P90x

yea, i like it a lot, but i've always liked gyms. my problems with a gym now are that i'm back and forth between 2 cities so it makes a gym impossible unless i joined one in each city. that and my work hours are very erratic. not to mention that i like having a workout partner at the gym.

Re: P90x

congrats for being successful - its a great accomplishment.

But 20lbs in 3 months isnt that much - 7 pounds a month,

(but Im sure some of the bulk you put on offbalances the weight loss)

Re: P90x

Weight is harder to loose for different people. At the end of the day, if you have successfully gained muscle (which burns fat), lost weight, that's an excellent start. After successfully spiking your metabolism, sustaining your gains ie muscle growth and fat loss can become difficult. Most people our age don't have time to eat healthy or get proper rest, unless you make both a priority, those hard earned results will eventually go back to your bodies typical comfort zone.

Re: P90x

I've been doing this program for a while now and highly recommend it. I don't follow the program as I should but use it mainly to stay in shape. The first go around I noticed a tremendous amount of improvement. I haven't followed the diet and only workout 4 days a week. Its a real commitment if you want to follow the program exactly, but well worth it (my schedule just won't allow for it). I promise you will see changes after just a week.

Not that I'm condoning it but I originally downloaded the videos from a torrent site and eventually bought the program because it was worth the money. The calendar is available on the web.

[quote=Huggie Smiles;766942] But 20lbs in 3 months isnt that much - 7 pounds a month[/quote]

Let me just say that those 20lbs were off in the first month and a half. I've gained some muscle so the weight is balanced off by now. I'm 6'1" and weight 185, I don't want to loose much more weight than that anyway. When I started this thing, I was 208 - 210lbs and a fat blubbery mess with bitch tits. I got the results a person in my shape would like to get in just 3 months.

This program gives you a strict routine to follow 7 days a week. The first 3 weeks are the same, then the forth week changes. The following 3 weeks, the 2 most important muscle workout days change, this is were the muscle confusion happens, and then the forth week changes. The last month, there is a combo of the first 2 months. There is no plateau with this workout, it changes constantly the whole 3 months, you muscles never really get used to it.

Re: P90x

fat blubbery mess with bitch tits :lol:

Re: P90x

this workout is the real deal. It is very hard to do and I lost 15 lbs very fast with this workout.

Now if I could just lay off the beer I would be ok.

Re: P90x

i've done it off and on for a while and it works fantastic. in fact it kicks your ass so hard i spend more time off then on. what is the correct order to do the videos? i got my copy from demonoid so i don't know the order

keep up the good work

Re: P90x

few mentions here.

1. The loss will be strictly from cardio, so if it's shocking your muscles, chances are you're diverting blood flow.

2. Max muscle mass that can be gained with 2300+ calories is .5lb per month, and that's if you're consistent with your dieting (unless you're still in your teens (max amount of growth hormones) or mid 20s (peak athletic fitness)). Any muscle you do see, is underlying and [I]not[/I] developed. For instance, your ab muscles underlie your fat tissues (Camper's fascia followed by Scarpes fascia), and so if you lose the weight, you'll be able to see the outline of what you already have. Any enlargement of muscle fibers will be from resistance training on the abs. In essence, you will not gain muscle strength, but will look toned, which I guess is what most people are after.

An easy alternative would be to just set up a circuit training course in your garage or living room.

This site is actually pretty neato. [URL]http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/[/URL] Why spend 140$ on someone else creating a routine, when you can do it yourself?

you can drop fast with intense cardio. the question that should be asked: does one have the time to dedicate hard work?

Re: P90x

I will never be able to do "Chest & Back" (one of my favorite workouts) without picturing this chick with a enourmously large black penis in her mouth . Come to find out, one of the people in the video has been in many, many pornos.

Re: P90x

You still doing this Clint? After my surgery thought I shouldn't go too crazy so started w/ p90. I feel like a new man. Defo eating better has been the key for me. I've lost almost 40 lbs in 2 1/2 months. with 3 kids the gym wasn't gonna happen so this was a good option. Been slacking though last 2 weeks or so on the workouts.

Re: P90x

I slacked for a while after my wedding last Oct but I've been back on it running 3-4 days a week and doing 3-4 p90 workouts a week. I typically skip plyo and yoga.

In 3 weeks when I'm back on Chest & Back, I want be able to look at Maren the same.

Re: P90x

i lost 10lbs in one week at wmc miami this year....:Honest:

p.s. and i didnt even workout

Re: P90x

^^^Yeah, I rely on dancing too :lol:

Re: P90x

i wasnt dancing either.....:WinkNSmi:

Re: P90x

I've found that if i commit to hitting the weights 30 minutes a day no matter what time it is (12pm or 12am) I'm happy with the results. The key is committing, that's where you see the gains.

Re: P90x

[QUOTE=trick12;877364]i wasnt dancing either.....:WinkNSmi:[/QUOTE] That was just a wild guess :lol:
