I started my p90x/insanity hybrid last night. Chest and Back and ARX was on the menu :) I probably hadn't done the chest and back dvd for more than a few months and I was glad to see how much I've improved comparing to my day 1 of p90x back in October 2012. I could only do 3 sets of (15-20 reps) push ups and 1 pullup back…

@staceypunk - Even though we were repeating the DVDs, I never got bored with them. Main reason is I was still challenged by the moves until the very last day of the program. I still had to take extra breaks just so I could keep up. I think the only time I'll get bored is when I get better at all the moves that I could do…

Yeah, I do have a garage but I don't know if I could workout in there in the Texas heat! LOL

Welcome Cory! Good to have you join us!

I'm starting my p90x/insanity hybrid this evening. I've been taking easy this past week so I thought I should join my wife at a local spa to relax myself before the new round started. Not sure if you guys are familiar Spa Castle but it just opened a store near where I live. They have a bunch of dry sauna rooms,…

That's impressive! Thanks for sharing! I wish I had a basement where I could turn into a man cave :) I normally workout in the game room on the second floor. And the jumps have been pretty brutal to the floor!

Happy Friday! How's everybody doing so far? Sticking to the schedule or falling off the band wagon LOL I hope it's the former. Here's something to share you all:

$20 a month for gym membership is pretty cheap. But yeah, if you're just going to lift, you could pretty much do that at home :) That's awesome man. Post some pics when you get your new gym area setup. Now you made me thinking about getting one setup myself LOL

Great job! Was that all based on diet or have you been exercising?

You know this is a great place for ranting :) How much do you pay for Planet Fitness? I haven't been to a gym since...umm..like forever so I don't know how much they charge nowadays.

The "double" ARX I did on Monday is obviously working. They're more sore than yesterday. You know what they say right? If you feel sore that means it's working! I didn't feel sore in the abs area very often during my first round of p90x so this is a great sign. A few more days to go before I start my p90x/insanity hybrid.…

Way to go! I'm from Dallas TX.

Hey - I just finished Insanity this past Sunday. I'm currently in my "recovery" week before I start my p90x/insanity hybrid. Feel free to add me :)

That's great! Do post your before and after pictures to motivate the rest of us :)

Great job. Way to go!

I would have done day 7 yesterday. I know for some people it's important to have the rest day on a certain day but unexpected schedule conflict happens. We need to try our best to stick to the schedule and not skipping. If you missed a workout during the week (before your scheduled rest day), it's best not to take a day…

So I was supposed to be in my recovery week before I start another round of p90x/insanity hybrid next week but I couldn't resist the weight liftings LOL I went ahead with ARX and 20 minutes of arms and shoulders last night. Since I increased my calorie to 1800 and my carb% to 35, I felt I had more energy especially when I…

@nofinishline - Awesome! Even though it's recovery week for me, I'm already feeling like lifting some weight LOL @Lsotham - Way to go...3 more weeks left on p90X good job! Have you seen any transformation yet?

Yes, dig deeper! Any progress is good progress. Make sure you dial in on the diet though :)

I was planning on starting my second round of p90x today but I figure I should take a week off. I have been going at this non stop for a few months. My body needs to recover and relax so that muscle confusion can work its magic when I start. Right now, I'm looking at starting on April the 15th. I'll be adjusting my diet…

It was a little annoying but I started blasting my tunes in the background in the 3rd month so it wasn't too bad. However, what he says is important. Just focus on the workout, stay humbled and get the most out of it :)

Happy Monday TEAM!! Last night I did Max Interval Plyo to conclude my Insanity (p90x hybrid) workout! I must say that this was one of the best workout that I've ever had because I was pushing pretty hard to getting through the workout knowing that this was the last for this round :) And yes, I'm starting another round of…

Welcome, Belinda and Lisa!

@allysonvb - @lyndabyh said it all. You can do it. Don't let it defeat you! A few people that I coached thought about quitting after a few days into month 2. I told them that they would be wasting all the hard work that they've put into the program. Luckily none quit, so far. Keep digging deep. Take breaks if you need to…

Well, my daughter's birthday party was fun last night! The kids had a blast so were the parents and my friends. We invited about 30 something people to my house so it was pretty packed. We catered some southest asian food, got wine and beer so everyone was well fed :) I thought I wasn't going to workout but I was able to…

Thanks bro :) Logging out and heading home!

Yours should be lower than 10%! Look at them abs! You normally don't see them until you're less than 10% The bioelectrical impedance test that's built into the scale or commonly seen on the workout machines are not very accurate. It's better off using the cheap skinfold method.

Happy Friday! So last night was my hybrid night doing P90X. I chose to do Back and Biceps again because I needed to get better at pull-ups. My arms were slightly sore from the pullup I did a couple of days ago. Thanks to the BCAA I drink during the workout, the soreness was more like a slight discomfort. I never had a real…

No worries :)
