  • Yes, have to agree with you on this one...Plus a lot of people come to this site, because beachbody coaches recomend it...
  • Does she have access to a pool? Water aerobics is a great form exercise with minimal "heavy" breathing. But I have to agree, at her age, no matter what she does she should (and I am sure you are well aware of this) consult her doctor first.
  • cybernet00 thanks for posting and your results are great. Reading through the post there are a lot of pople saying they have not seen "scale" weight loss or some may have even gained weight. This results you are all seeing are natural as you are losing body fat but at the same time gaining muscle. 1 pound of fat = 1 pound…
  • To accurately track your calories burned you need a heart monitor, if you are not using a heart monitor then it will look at your personal profile, how long you exercised and give you an estimated guess...but that's all it is a guess...
  • HA...That is awesome!!!
  • Welcome all! This is a great website to help track your food intake and caloires burned. I use it religiously every day and in case you did not know it has a free ap for your smart phone which in the app it has a bar code scanner so all you have to do is scan the bar code with your phone and it will automatically add it to…
  • The threads here are correct, I think a llot of it is depending on what you want. If you are loking to just lose weight then Zumba is the way to go, if you want to to get into shape then P90X. With that said P90X will range from 45 minutes to the longest set of 90 minutes which is yoga. It sounds like a lot, but it goes by…
  • The only thing I can say when it comes to P90X and weight loss is patience. You probably will not lose "scale" weight over the first 30 to 45 days you will however lose inches. Remember 1 pound of fat = 1 pound of Muscle. So do not measure yourself soly on the "scale" measure how you feel week over week and how does your…
  • Hello All, Thi is a great question and one thing you can do to see if you are ready for P90X is go to the website and take the physical fitness test. After putting in your results it will tell you weather you are ready for P90X or not. If you are not ready you can do what I did..(I was 250+ pounds when I was ready for a…
  • IF you do not eat to your calories then your body will go into starvation mode and start eating at your muscles for energy rather then your body fat...This is bad...I have to set my watch to go off every 3 hours to remind me to eat, like most people I have been trained not to eat of you are not hungry...Your body will…
  • I also need to add insuring you are taking your recovery drinks and eating right. I did the Power 90 for 60 days and never really watched what I ate...Which frustrates me because I thin of where I would be right now if I was watching my calories...Good luck
  • I sweat more in Yoga X then I do in any other of the workouts, My wife has been ding P90X for two week now and she struggles with her balance on all of the excerises still but she still pushes play every day and works through it...
  • I have been doing the Power 90 and P90x for almost 3 months and I have lost just about 20 lbs and have dropped. The P90x is pretty extreame and unless you have been physically active I do not reccomnd it right ut of the gate. I would reccomend the Power 90 disk first, it comes with two stages 1 and 2. This is where I lost…
  • I think you guys are all NUTS!!! LOL...Great thread...Thanks everyone for posting, a lot of good info...
  • These are all good ideas. My first question to you is...Are you using a recovery drink after your exercise? This is very important for recovery and insuring your muscles dont cramp up. because I live a pretty active life style, I have to set my watch to go off every 3hours to remind me to eat something small...Usually a…
