I'm smack in the middle of California, in Fresno. :)

There are so many factors that can make your weight fluctuate on any give day. Such as water retention (high sodium levels, bowel movements, inflamed muscles, time of day. If you are recording body fat % from a BMI scale, than that can go wild from body heat and even heart rate. So I always advise my clients to weigh once…

It's rather advanced, but there is a "Lean" program with it that is easier.

Absolutely! I know many people who do that with great results. In fact, I do Abs after my cardio because my resistance days take much longer to finish. Also, NO need for the recovery drink after only doing abs. Day one is killer! I almost got sick with my first round too so don't worry about it. The first week takes some…

For the morning, liquids is the best way to go. I've tried whey protein with a half banana, but it messese with my stomach. I have one scoop of P90X Recovery drink and it digests fast and works perfect.

In the beginning, the body is not used to the required high calorie goal so waiting a few days for the metabolism to catch up is not a bad idea. Also, most people get really sore the first week and muscle inflammation can cause some temporary water weight gain. But knowing your intensity is the most significant factor for…

Bopper, if you can't reach 600 calories with the workout, then you need to subtract the difference from your calorie total. That's where a lot of people get into trouble.

crazybxrmom, knee problems can be an issue with P90X. At the very least you should skip the PlyoX workout because it involves a lot of jumping. KenpoX requires a lot of kicks so that may or may not be a problem too. crazybxrmom, I create my own exercises and categorize the workouts as “cardio” and put in my calories burned…

bowaknee, the recovery drink will help keep you energy levels up for the week. Intense exercise will burn off your glycogen so its important to get it back. a typical recovery drink is 4:1 Fast carbs to protein. The P90X recovery drink also has vitamin C and E which are very important for muscle recovery.

alisha,take your body weight and times it by 10. Then you must add your estimated average metabolic rate. 20% is considered average, but 15% may be better if you are sedentary (8 hour office job with little movement the rest of the day.) So either weight x 10 x 1.20 (20%) or 1.15 (15%). This is you calorie goal to maintain…

Hey everyone! The one area where a lot of people struggle is the nutrition. First get your calorie goal correct. The basic formula is weight x10 x 1.2 (20% average metabolic rate) +600. That is your caloric goal to MAINTAIN weight. If you aren't active much, then it may be more accurate to use 15%. Also, P90X assumes you…

Tony Horton's One on One workouts are excellent for P90X grads and are much shorter too. You can design your own program or make a P90X Hybrid.

Yes, it definitely works! Teambeachbody is a great way to join others doing the program just like you!

You can cook a balanced meal with chicken, rice, and some veggies. Than just use some of the chicken and throw it on your own salad!
