Anybody else out there in MFP land doing the Tapout XT program? I started just over a week ago and thought it'd be good to make some friends on here who are going through it too! Feel free to add me

What do you think of it so far? I see the commercials and have thought about giving doing that some day.0

I love it so far! It's definitely hard, but I didn't expect it to be easy so that's no shocker. It's a little tough at first to come to terms with not being able to do all of the exercises without modifying them or stopping for extra water breaks, but at the same time, this is supposed to be an extreme program so I figure if I was able to do them all no problem right from the beginning...that it wouldn't be as extreme as I was going for...ya know? Anyway, yes, I like it. The instructor guy does a good job, and seeing the results of all of the people in the video is a great motivator (sometimes they'll show pics or testimonials of what they looked like before Tapout). I'd say go for it and try it! I've never done any of those other ones before like p90x or insanity, but have to say that I'm glad I chose Tapout. I like the MMA stuff better than just working out, it gets me pumped up and I get more into the workout I think because of the punches and elbows and stuff0

Just started this program last week. Go ahead and add me if you like. It's totally kicking my butt!0

I have been wanting to get the Tapout XT but I didn't want to spend like $140 on something that wouldn't bring results, but it sounds like it is worth it0

I have just started the program and love it. Feel free to add me if you want.0

How muc weight have you lost, if you don't mind me asking. Started today0

What have you been logging it as (tapout xt), just cardio?0
-
I've lost around 7 pounds so far - but it varies a lot day to day. I can DEFINITELY see a difference though, and the more I read on here, the more it sounds like the scale is a big liar and you should try to go by the way you feel, look, and your measurements. I am really liking the program so far though! You?0

Yeah...about that. Lol. I have no idea how to log it correctly or to find out how many calories I burn with each workout so I just ballpark it with my best guesses. Yep - I do log it as cardio though rather than strength training so that I can have a little wiggle room with my calorie goal (SO hard to eat under 1200 a day!)0 -
I am in week 10. I have really enjoyed it. The first month was just trying to get through the workouts. The second month I could really start to feel the strength building and the cardio side of it I am making it through the workouts better. Once I started the last month I can focus more on getting more strength from the workouts as well as trying to add more muscle mass. I have not lost any weight because I think my body has gotten to its set point. I am losing fat, building muscle and have improved my cardio level. I log it as cardio an use my HRM for the calorie burn. I burn between 500 and 800 calories per workout except for the yoga. I am eating at maintenance noe so I can build and burn.0

I'm taking some recovery time off after Insanity but I can't wait to start Tapout XT in two weeks!
How are you finding the instructor in the videos? I love Shaun T style, I was thinking of doing P90X after Insanity but was a bit wary of Tony Horton lol.0 -
Wow that's great to hear!!! I should probably get a HRM so that I can see what kind of calories I'm burning, I'm very curious and don't want to log the wrong amount on here and mess myself all up!0

Good for you doing both Insanity AND Tapout XT that is awesome! The instructor does a good job - he's pretty cheezy at times but I imagine it's gotta be hard not to be when you're trying to pump people up lol. My husband and I quote him and get a kick out of it every now and then. He's a good motivator, and makes you laugh a little too which is nice while you're like panting and about to fall on the floor lol.0 -
Just finished the program this morning!! Didn't get insane results but the strength & muscle definition is worth it! This was by far my favorite program so far to date and I will be redoing it at some point! Hang in there if you're doing this - it's great!! I'm moving on to P90X next to see if I can continue to increase muscle and lose some fat!!!0

Good for you!!! Congrats on finishing the program, what an awesome accomplishment! Tomorrow starts my 7th week in, and I am definitely loving it and am just so motivated to keep going - already planning to take MMA training with my husband after we finish, we both really like the striking/muay thai stuff Well good luck with p90x - you look great and are such an inspiration!0 -
I actually just posted a topic on this asking for opinions on this workout esp after doing p90x. My reviews/opinion I received was more on the negative side. Nice to see a few positive things about it here0

Just finished tapout day 2! Enjoying it and I don't mind Mike as a trainer.. Lots of floor exercises compared to Insanity. I love doing the resistance band work!0

TapOut Xt is crazy! The instructor is on the floor for most of the exercises and you will definately gain mobility if you stick with it. I can tell the difference between P90x, Insanity, and Tapout. Someone wrote an article online about it but here is a quick comparison:
P90x = mainly strength training (muscle and definition) Tony Horton knows his stuff and he is calm. * This is a great place to start.
Insanity= mainly cardio (cardio vascular system increase) Shaun T. will work you so you have to stick with it.
TapOut Xt = between cardio and strength (mainly mobility) this is great prep for cross fit training without the fees. You will see fitness gains with everyday movements but not so much in muscle and cardio fitness. it's a great program for in between.
Honestly, they all have a purpose and each one is different in its own way. There are some web sites that MIX these programs so you wont dont bored and have some diversity in your workouts.0 -
Does anyone know how many calories you burn in the Tapout Yoga?0

Hey guys! I just got this bad boy in the mail, I'm from Canada! I'm on day 4 week 1!
I'm super pumped and who's on the same time fram as me? I'm going to see how much weight I loose during the first 30 days, anyone hit that time frame and care to share you results...0 -
Sherciara, I'm on w1d5 today, so right on the same schedule as you! Not following the meal plan though, at least not yet..
Super excited to see results, this is the first regime I've done in ages so it's really whipping my butt0 -

Aaand apparently I can't count, (or it just feels like it's been longer already) in fact today is day 4 for me..0 -
I have done the insanity, and i have done Jillian Michaels, now Tapout! I really like it. (i also love Shaun T). Tapout does use different muscles then insanity... I have only been doing it for a week. so results will vary. LOL i can already see a diffrence (not on the scale . I really do like the instructor he is a little cheesy but oh well makes me stick with it. I would like to say awsome job and stick with it to all the fitness pals!!!!!0
-
I do the Tapout XT workouts. I'm not consistent with it though but I love it. I do it on days I know I won't be able to go to the gym. :-)0
-
I've started TapOut recently too, on Week 2 Day 3 (day 10 total). Anyone have results to share? I really enjoy the workouts but am super keen to see results! Already seeing some - I weigh myself regularly but waited to today to check for measurements. Looking forward to checking measurements again on Day 30 and seeing more changes!0

W1D4 tomorrow !0
