  • Never did Insanity, but lot's of p90x. At the size / weight of your husband and you, it is clear you are not overweight, so strength training is probably a good idea vs. straight cardio. Most people associate the term "cardio" only with aerobic activity, but that is not always the case. Intense aerobic exercise engages the…
    in Results with Insanity and p90x Comment by tquig March 2012
  • Every ten pounds is equivalent to 3hp... Used to race sportbikes (amateur) when I was younger and that was why the small guys always kicked my butt, well one of the reasons!

  • Stumbled into this thread- just gotta say you all are rocking it! So inspirational. Just goes to show what motivation is really capable of. It may not happen fast but you all "made it happen"! Hats off to you all!

  • Have you looked into Insanity? I was originally going to do it after I finished my current p90x cycle but was given p90x2 as a gift so I sort of feel obligated to go with it. Insanity looks like mostly cardio so it is really focused on weight loss vs. strength and I have seen many, many people mixing it with p90x as a…

  • On my second time through p90x. As was stated earlier, nutrition is the key (to any fitness plan, really). Try to do the exercises to the best of your ability, even if you can only do half of what they are doing. The important part is sticking with it. You can do it and will see results if you follow through. Even people…
    in P90X Comment by tquig February 2012
  • When I was younger I was more into body building but now have goals of less mass- funny thing is the amount of effort required to get to these goals, even though they are different is still pretty much the same. I have never competed nor have I ever had the desire yet I "get" why it is some people's goals. I had a great…
    in Here is what a competitive Bikini model winner looks like Comment by tquig February 2012
  • Came for the pic, stayed for the drama. LMAO Uber-fit people have feelings too and no one likes to be called gross. Tremendous amount of hard work went into getting in that shape. Might not be everyone's idea of the 'perfect' figure but you have to admire someone that set and acheived their personal goals. Oh, and my fav…

  • Try using body-weight exercises such as push-ups, single/double leg squats and plies (ballet). Also don't discount yoga (def not my favorite but if done right, it kicks my *kitten* every time). Maybe purchase some resistance bands. I have had two meniscus repairs (arthoscopic) so high impact activities like running are out…
    in I need your advice please! Comment by tquig February 2012
  • I love P90x! Currently on my second time through (day 50). Alternated between that, weight lifting and Insanity workout. Just got my p90x2 DVDs- can't wait. I love to mix up my workouts so now I can go a whole month and never do the same thing twice!! Remember you can out-eat any exercise program- follow the nutrition…

  • Hydrating while exercising is great but your body is not sweating out that water, it is sweating out the water you put in to it earlier in the day. Try to drink the litre at least an hour before working out and then another during. Your body needs time to get the water into your bloodstream and then your cells (including…
    in Headache after exercising? Comment by tquig February 2012
  • I would suggest focusing less on the number of calories burned and more on maintaining your heart rate in good training zone. Those HRMs use a very simple algorithm for calculating the number of calories so they are not "exact" by any means. As you become more fit, your body becomes more efficient and therefore needs less…
    in 30 Day Shred Comment by tquig February 2012
  • Remember, you can easily out-eat any exercise program. Diet is the key to losing body fat. At a minimum, focus on eating unprocessed foods (takes more energy to digest) such as fresh veggies, high protien/low fat (fish, chicken, turkey) and low sodium. Remove "liquid" calories from your diet such as anything with high…
    in How did you reduce your body fat % Comment by tquig February 2012
  • Hard to give a single answer to this because we really don't know all of the variables- what type of exercise, what are your heart-rate measurements (resting, while exercising, etc), how much water is "a lot", etc. Assuming there are no other major physiological causes, you hit on the two primary cause; hydration and body…
    in Headache after exercising? Comment by tquig February 2012
  • Like everyone said, just stick with it. I am on my second time through P90x with about a year break in between (currently on day 50). It was just as hard the first week this time as it was the last time I did it. Your body is using extra energy adapting to the movements. As your balance and coordination improve, it will…
