2 weeks left... You should at least feel better than you did 90 days ago and maybe even changed some measurements or look just a little different...I will have before and after pics by June 3rd my birthday. that will give me two extra weeks to shed sme extra water weight and get the little cuts I've worked so hard for....I waont look like a bodybuilder but there is ahuge difference thatn when I started. Hope everyone tried there best and hope to hear other good news from you all...
Ready to keep hitting play and never rewind back to the way I was...

My allergies have got me feeling a little droopy today. I'm not going to do doubles today. Just Back & Biceps w/AbripperX. I can't believe a I do all the abripper moves now. My form may not be as good as theirs and i do have to push pause a few times to take an extra stretch, but I'm doing all the moves and very proud of it.
I keep pushing play!

Great Job Kamsue.....Stay positive NO MATTER WHAT....No matter what happens in life, you have to stay positive even if everything around you feels like it is falling apart and you ask you ask yourself why me....It always gets better. Keep going and keep making changes for yourself and no one else. Eventually, the changes you make for yourself, end up helping people around you....
Great job. It's almost Summer time!

core synergistics was really hard today. The first half was killing me. I had oatmeal for breakfast and it always gives me indigestion and I think that was a big part of my problem. I pushed through and after the bow to boats everything seemed to start flowing. Maybe my endorphines kicked in. My favorite move is the lunge/kickback/curl/press/reverse curl/ or whatever it's called. I did them today with 8 lbs. You really have to engage your core to get those done. This is a really sweaty workout. Even though it started out hard, I feel great now that it is finished. Tomorrow is KenpoX and I'll be ready.
I hope everyone who started is still pushing play. If not, come on back people.0 -
So how did everyone do? I am will take about two weeks and tweek my diet and then take after pictures. Then I will rest about one extra week (total of 3 just doing small exercises) and then go for another round with some added weight training at the end of weight days to add some bulk. Hope everyone keeps pushing their own play button because that is what it is all about....
Great job to all that kept active during our 3 month period and good luck to you all. I will be using myfitnesspal for a long time so just look my name up if you ever want to drop a line and tell me about your success and/or if you need help with any ideas....

Bryan, you've done a great job. I am still pushing play and will be using myfitnesspal for a long time as well. I am on day 2 of week 9. The plyometrics was great today. I am so much stronger than I was week one it amazes me. I haven't decided if I am going to do round 2 of P90X after week 13 or if I am going to try my hand at INSANITY. I have ordered insanity but haven't gotten it yet.
I am going to do another round of P90X and Insanity, I just haven't decided which to do first. I still have quite a bit of body fat to lose. People tell me I look great, but they haven't seen me in a bathing suit yet. I am going to get bikini ready this year, even if it takes all summer and it probably will. My son is getting married in November and I am going to be in the best shape of my life.
I will keep looking for you so keep posting.

I thought about Insanity combined with P90X. I like the weights being used in the P90X and then on the normal P90X cardio, kenpo, plyo, yoga, throw in Insanity workouts? I might try 45-60 days doing it like that and see what happens. If the results are great then I will share and if it didn't work very well, then I guess I could still share... : ). The way I see it, is that if you are burning more calories than you take in, and for me, using weights then it still should work just as well and I think with higher intenisity cardio that Insanity has, P90X combined should help a person shed a lot of water weight as well as fat........
See ya,

That is how Ive been using them both. I can't keep to the INSANITY schedule because I also run 20+ miles a week, but my running times are amazing since using INSANITY. I use it about 3x a week along with the P90X weight workouts. I know LOTS of people using the same hybrid and everyone is having amazing results...either in weight loss, body composition, or fitness improvements!0 -
I bet Insanity has helped with your running in lung capacity right? It seems like a workout that elevates the heart for a long duration which will probably help your per mile time. I have to get my mile down to about a 7:30 pace to maintain my employer's minimum standards. This time frame would be about a quarter under for the mile and a half test. Good to know that Insanity IS helping before purchasing it....

Took my pictures of before and after. I did not start myfitnesspal when I first started working out at 235+ pounds. I am now at 195 and did not meet my "Ripped Look" by my birthday today but I can see my abs compared to my keg last July. I am going to the lake this July, and hope in another 6 weeks I can obtain the ripped look. Keep hitting play and never give up. Always use a mirror and not a scale. If I can be ripped at 195 instead of my current look, then the scale does not mean anything. The mirror never lies so long as we don't lie to ourselves. Don't ask others if you look good, or look fat or fit. Go ask the mirror. Good luck and if I could add my before and after photo here I would. Keep hitting play people.....

It sounds like you are doing great. I have decided that I am going to have to keep P90X in my calendar for as long as I am physically able to bring it. I took P90X with me on vacation last week. My sister did a few of the workouts with me and now she has ordered P90X to do at home. I am trying to get some others to join me for round 2.0

Got your comment on my page...Maybe after you are done with Insanity, I might do a third round of P90X along with Insanity, mayber doing one in the morning and then another one after work......Wouldn't that be Insanity? Could you imagine all the food you would have to eat just so that you don't burn muscle instead of fat? Maybe it could be called "The Insane 90"......Hmm, maybe after I get my personal trainers license, that might work at a gym where I hold classes 6 days a week and rotate different programs throughout the week....I almost have them memorized and could tweak a few of the exercises for each day just for legality purposes.
Catch you later, good luck on all your races.....0
