  • Here is my take on the two - P90x - •Upside - Best all around fitness program. Full body workout for sure! It’s 3 resistance workouts 2 cardio workouts and 1 yoga per week. Rest on the 7th day.

  • You are doing great! I understand how easy it is to get discouraged - especially when you are doing all the right things and the weight is not coming off like before.
