  • Some very good information in this Vlog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHHzie6XRGk
  • I did Plyo yesterday which was the 12th and I have to say it one of my favourites because it pushes me so hard. I can complete all of the moves but they are soooooooooo energy sapping, all the push ups, pogo jumps and that full body circuit WOW I am yet to complete the full body circuit both times after the first 16 push…

  • Good job ladies... Max interval circuit for me to tonight but I'm confident going into it. I don't know of the max cardio was shorter or I made it through much easier. Still was dripping and it was really hard but mentally I made it through a lot better.

  • Below is the explanation to why i add back some exercise calories. Should you NET BMR? I will keep you fat shredder marcos as I may adjust to those depending on the outcome of the next week. --- Let's say your TDEE is 2300 then you subtract 15% so that you now have your cut value of 1955. Let's say your BMR is 1500. So,…

  • No cheat meals. I just mean as accurately as I can however if I eat a meal I haven't made be it in a restaurant or by someone else I can only estimate. Not that this happens often but it does happen. I am still learning but have done a lot of research so i'm testing what works for me. Thanks for all the feedback and…
  • I agree the workouts are more enjoyable...

  • Insanity is not just cardio its more interval training mixed with body weight excercise and core workouts. Myy overall HR has dropped due to increased fitness level showing the the HRM is consistent so I don't think thats the issue at all. I started to burn less during workouts overall as a result of increased fitness. Yes…
  • Thanks dude Hopefully the ball will start rolling again it may take eating at higher calories for longer than 2 weeks but i'm definitely init for the long haul.
  • See now we are all over our fear of the workout lets do it! All those push ups are definitely shaping my upper body! Just the gut im not happy with those love handles got to go I can see my upper abs and I have a much flatter stomach but the stubborn belly fat is my only enemy at this point.

  • Interesting, I do think that once I finishe Insanity and rest for a week my weight will drop rapidly (Well I hope) that seems to be the pattern in the past when I have a break I tend to lose.
  • Yea thats true weighed in this morning and im 1lb up on last week, if I continue to go up another pound next week then I will need to adjust slightly and re *kitten* again. Hopefully i'll figure out what's best for my body and get the weight going down again.
  • MAx Cardio tonight for me I hope im rested Ready to attack week 2 month 2 gained 1lb from increasing my calories which was to be expected just need to be consistent this week and hopefully my metabolism will speed up and get me back to losing those pounds as well as inches.

  • Thanks for the feedback I have a HRM I use during insanity workout its pretty consistent and id say as accurate as a HRM can be... Plateau around 3 months ive been between 202 - 205 lbs but my bf% has dropped going to get it measured again after insanity has finished. Still trying to tighten up on hitting my calorie intake…
  • well done guys... I had a whole day paintballing yesterday running up and down in the woods and I'm exhausted. Took that as my rest day however I don't know if I can do an intense workout today as yesterday seemed like a workout in itself.

  • 28 204lbs 5ft 8inches male BMR - 2020 TDEE - 2952 TDEE - 20% - 2361 2361 - 2020 = 341 (meaning I should eat back any calories I exercise over this amount which on average is at least 500kcals) hence ending on 2860 im going to give it one more week then see results if not then drop to true TDEE cut value. Obviously they key…

  • Max Cardio Recovery yesterday was very boring for me I wasn't engaged and focussed but got through it, the planks were hard! Back into the gauntlet tonight with Max Interval Circuit... The first 3 days sapped a lot of my energy!

  • Feel free to add London UK currently doing Insanity, I log, comment, motivate daily :-)
  • Still struggling on with no scale weight loss Ive increased my intake and still not gaining. Looking leaner from the insanity work and will measure my bf% at the end of the month! Im in it for the long haul it seems.
  • In the last 30 days of insanity no weight lost maybe 0.5lbs if that but none gained. I am looking leaner in the chest and shoulders for sure as well as my thighs and calfs. Not taken second measurements yet to see if there has been change. Estimated body fat % at the start was 18.7% I plan to get a dexa scan at the end of…

  • Yesterday Max Cardio was tough, I was feeling tired and knew it was my least favourite workout. I got through it and sweat like I never have before but feel good overall. The workouts don't seem that much longer if im honest and the warm ups are not as annoying as month 1. After all those push ups Im starting to look…

  • I would try not to split the workout but if it can't be helped do it in the same day Morning/evening. It is exhausting and long but worth it because it makes the max workouts seem easier and shorter after that long session. I don't envy anyone waking that early to function and travel. You can do it guys.

  • lose fat
    in P90X Comment by wffolkes June 2013
  • 2860 calories Not going for percentages more focussed on the g intake 1 lbs per lean body mass of protein around 90g of fat and what's left is carbs It would be extremely hard to eat that amount restricting carbs. I will try this for a while and see what my results are like, im tracking on a spreadsheet. My only issue is…

  • Max Interval Pylo was challenging but I actually enjoyed it It really pushed me but not in a cardio sense more strength and endurance of my muscles. Although it was hard to push for the whole 45 seconds I made it through most of the workouts, I was pouring with sweat and burned 986 calories. Not feel sore at all just a…

  • Did it yesterday and it killed me especially after the fit test! Burned a hell of a lot of Kcals over 1000 I stopped a lot and had to go slow then build up speed, the push up jack moves are ridiculous but i'm ready today and should do better seen as there is no fit test before hand. I did feel to stop but I pushed through.
  • Looking to start P90X after Ive finished with insanity. Just started month 2 so I wont start till mid July. Going to have to use resistance bands anyone recommend what ones to buy im in the UK by the way... No rush as I dont need them yet! Looking to hit my marcos but my marco for carbs seems high 179g P 90g F 322g C

  • I can only wish someone gave me this advice early on when losing weight was easy. Find out your TDEE - 20% and eat that amount. I am sure your eating way too far under what you need so your body is holding on to the food you are fueling yourself with. You're under eating and it can damage your metabolism which is what help…
  • Hey all I burned around 500 Kcals doing Core Cardio & Balance I got better at it after 3 attempts and it became relaxing. On to today and Wow I did better on my fit test and was exhausted before starting Max interval circuit. The thought of doing 60 minutes was daunting but I managed to get through it but wow it was super…
