Considering it's a 'Meal Replacement' not a sugar filled taste-shake, you'll have to modify the contents to your liking. You should check out some recipes that Shakeology lovers have shared. I personally mix it with 1 cup of Oatmeal and a 1/2 cup of Blueberries for breakfast. Holy smokers, what filling and delicious meal…

Congrats on starting back up. Accountability is super important for an intense program like this. Some people find that inside their homes with people working out with them but some don't. Accountability might be the deciding factor in someone finishing the program and getting into the best shape of their life, or quitting…

I've got the FT7 as well and use it for everything from strength training (750-800 calories in 85 minutes) to morning LISS (200 calories in 30 minutes) Plug these into this system and you'll get a good idea of where you need to be, calorie wise. Hope this helps. If you've got any other questions, feel free to ask.

Congrats on the progress! I hope you took it upon yourself to take pictures. Obviously you've been measuring, which is awesome as well. A true 'Success Story' in the making. Great news, Lizzie. Keep up the good work. Let me know if you've got any questions.

I agree with the heart rate monitor post. Other than the fact that I have been burning close to 800 calories on strength days, including ARX. If you aren't consistantly pushing your HR (heart rate) to 75-85%, then you might need to lift more. My RHR is 43, I maintain an average of about 130 and max at 175ish during ALL of…

Congrats on taking the P90X plunge, you'll soon be glad that you did. I've personally been through the program over 6 times and still feel the need to 'keep pushing play'. For people that dont like the Yoga because of the length, I'd suggest Tony's 'One on One' Yoga video. It is 45 minutes of basically the same strength…

I've got two girls that just started the program a few weeks ago and have seen amazing results using the bands purchased through Beachbody. The great thing about bands is the resistance window that you can create by making loops bigger or smaller. There are also plenty of professional tips that I've passed onto them from…

Polar FT7. Great HR monitor that is comfy to both lift and run in.

Beachbody programs have been proven by thousands of people that they work. Easy to do? No. Easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Yes! P90X is the most popular infomercial for over a year...did I mention it was created over 4 years ago? What does that tell you about the company and their product? Anyways. If…

Welcome. This is a great site for accountability. Figuring out what works is another story. Every person is different and dialing in your diet / fitness plan can take people a long time. Keep educating yourself along with building your body and you'll be set in no time. If I can help at all, please don't hesistate to ask!…

Shakeology all the way. A nice 3 day cleanse will get your body and metabolism on track. Other than this, fresh REAL juice is always a good way to go.

It's hard to say. They usually base the category number off of 'servings', rather than calorie totals. BTW, you'll wanna stay away from flour... far, far away. Stick with good carbs like Fruits / Veggies and you'll get the results you want in NO TIME.

Greetings. If you want a protein rich diet guide, look no further than the blog post that I just put up. I've been doing P90X for a number of months and have had awesome results. I included a guide that will help you along even farther than the P90X guidebook. I called this post "AAE - All About Eating" -…

Not trying to 'slam' anyone. My appologies if you took it that way. Your boyfriend has a different genetic makeup than you do...obviously. Not that this is a bad thing, it's just something you have to cope with and LEARN how to deal with. My post was strictly for educational purposes. Education is the single greatest asset…

90% of this thread is about Insulin and Metabolism. Eating less doesn't mean anything. Someone who has a fast metabolism (mainly from exercising and diet control) can eat 5k calories and have 4% body fat. Michael Phelps eats 7k calories and is a rail. On the other hand, someone who eats 1200 calories of garbage 3 times a…

Check your inbox. I wrote you a message about 'modification' and a story about a woman with MS that is now a P90X grad!

The original 'P90' is called Power 90. Check it out. http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/Power90?referringRepId=44212

No matter which program you choose, be it ChaLEAN Extreme, Turbo Fire, P90X...whatever. Make sure you are logging your workouts in WOWY! What's WOWY? Work Out With You - It's the central forum where members of the Team Beachbody network go to keep track of their workouts. Why do you want to go there? Did I mention that…

Looks great. I've been through the P90X program almost a half dozen times. One thing that I can tell you is as long as you push play 6/7 days a week, no matter which DVD you use, you will benefit in some way. You also need to listen to your body! One thing that Tony preaches about in his One on One DVDs is that you need to…
