  • I use a protein powder (Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard) because I really struggle here too. I also keep tuna cans/pouches on hand and cook up a package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot on Sunday so I have them to grab during the week. Hummus is good too since it's made from chickpeas. Eggs...an…

  • Les Mills Combat for cardio. I love to punch and kick but Turbo is too dancey and perky for me. Combat is a perfect combination of fun yet technical moves. Body Beast for lifting. Plain and simple, I had muscle gains with this program like no other. Sagi is an incredible trainer. I am doing P90x3 right now and so far, so…

  • I've done Insanity twice and there is not a 90 minute workout in the program. The "max" workouts in Insanity are 45-55 minutes, the workouts in the first half are 30-40 minutes, give or take 5 minutes. That being said, I have done T25 as well. I did a blog post comparing the two, but since I'm not sure I can post a link,…
    in T25 vs Insanity Comment by frugalfitmom January 2014
  • I use Optimum Nutrition too. It blends perfect straight from the shaker cup without clumps and it's the only powder I can drink straight up without any additional ingredients. I like the Double Rich Chocolate. :)

  • My husband and I are both starting on the 6th. :) I was a week into Asylum when I ended up with an ankle injury (not workout related) and now that I've been cleared to go, I'm going with X3 first and then going back to Asylum.
    in Starting P90X3?? Comment by frugalfitmom December 2013
  • Lately, I do cardio if my daughters (ages 10 and 11) talk me into doing a Combat or Turbo Fire workout with them, otherwise I stick with my lifting. My body likes strength training better; I lose more body fat lifting vs. doing straight cardio. :)

  • I only lost 4 lbs in 60 days with Insanity, but I lost 20 inches overall. Are you measuring as well as using the scale? If I had just gone by the scale, I'd have given up. 5 inches gone from my waist...I'll take! :)

  • ^^This!! Hey, fellow WWE fan! :) I started out at 224 lbs. and averaged about 2 lbs/week through the bulk of my loss. It's slowed down now that I'm adding muscle and losing the rest of the fat at the same time, but I can say that I don't have the loose skin problems (yet? lol) at all and that makes me happy too because I…
    in Could use some advice Comment by frugalfitmom October 2013
  • I wish the option to create a custom strength workout that also reflects calorie burn was available too! I use a heart rate monitor (Polar FT4) and put my strength workouts under cardio to track my calorie burn. I keep paper worksheets of my reps and weights used since I can't record both on the log.
    in Why doesn't strength training show calories burnt? Comment by frugalfitmom October 2013
  • Check out Tai Cheng by Beachbody or DDP Yoga. I'm a huge fan of them both and they are esentially non-impact.
