  • Blame your parents and the DNA they gave you. then work harder. seems like you are doing fine anyway
  • HRM for 24 hours is not going to be accurate. Your heart rate can increase from other stimuli besides exercise. I am pretty sure HRM for calories burned is only accurate while doing cardio exercise. There are other products that can give you a better idea of calories burned throughout the day. might want to look into one…
  • Starvation mode is fake unless you dont have fat to burn on your body. talk to your doctor if you are concerned about this Also, you definitely should not eat back all of your calories from exercise if only for this reason. lets say you work out for 1 hour and burn 500 calories, in that hour had you been sitting on your…
  • one a day mens, got it at target for 10 bucks for 100. I take one in the morning with breakfast. seems good enough
  • taking responsibility for your own weight and stress levels and disregarding what anyone thinks seems like an easy solution. there is always an excuse
  • If i drink a cup of coffee, or smoke some crack, my heart rate will go up. does that mean i dont have to work out?
  • Personally i would suggest p90x first to get into shape for insanity, I finished p90x a couple weeks ago and since have started an insanity p90x+ hybrid, and the insanity portions are still kicking my butt. you really cant go wrong either way. insanity is a bit more fast paces, there is a little more teaching and rest in…
  • 200$ towards a gym membership in NY gets you about two months with initiation fees etc, p90x with the dvds bands and pull up bar is probably about 250$? but you get to keep that forever. I dont get it
  • Im afraid licking the counter top wont work in this case either, you would have to calculate the calories burned from bending over and opening your mouth, extending your tongue etc, ill bet you would burn at least 2 calories. then you still need to make that up. vicious cycle.
  • #starvationmode is so cool though
  • just make sure you dont have a whole tic tac or all of your hard work this week is ruined.
  • like i said, be conservative when you log it. if you stop seeing results from eating back those calories, readjust the numbers.
  • I have had this question too, Im not sure there is any reliable way to measure calories burned from strength training as there are many variables. it is my understanding that heart rate alone is not a good reading to estimate calories burned, outside of cardio workouts. I generally assume I am burning 2 to 3 times as much…
  • As a strong supporter of P90X I would say that it is always in your best interest to vary the workouts to get the best results. if you do the same thing every day your body can become accustomed to the workouts and the gains will be less significant. Also there is a chance that doing the same weight lifting routines and ab…
  • quick search of ebay, looks like you could get it for half price.
  • I try not to eat before morning cardio workouts, if i have to have something a small piece of fruit or half a protein shake. obviously drinking a couple glasses of water right when you wake up is ideal.
  • Ive always wondered if you could bring a block of ice onto a plane. I think ill try. Also i have brought baked pies on planes, and full coolers filled with food as my carry on.
  • I finished my first round of doubles last saturday. Lost 42 lbs and i feel awesome. I started a p90x+/insanity hybrid monday. #1 get a Heart Rate Monitor if you dont have one already #2 I used a mix of bands and weights to make for easy transitions between exercises without too much fussing with changing different plates…

  • Before After
  • Pictures are coming ....
  • slipped up a little in week 10, went out drinking on saturday (whiskey on the rocks) and pushed kenpo off till sunday. luckily i sucked it up enough to do the kenpo workout sunday after noon. I did end up going to the yankees sox game and had a sausage and a few beers. crappy lazy weather in NY made it tough but I got…

  • a few quick questions, in doubles, Does anyone else skip the yoga part of the Cardio work out on the day when you do yoga also. on the day when you have Cardio and Plyo which goes first? im thinking Plyo is better first to get every thing out of it and then cardio for whatever you have left. My calculations have me burning…
  • if you end up unable to figure out from the monitor what the calories were you can try this calculator using your avgHR http://www.braydenwm.com/calburn.htm
    in HRM Comment by maurilax May 2011
  • I have a Polar FT1 which does not actually count calories but gives the avg heart rate for the duration of the workout, I use this number and input into a calorie calculator that was linked on the MFP message boards. Honestly I dont know how accurate this calculator is or the other Calculators included on the Polar…
  • Lean is most likely the way to go. I started with Classic with the intent to lose weight. the strength and lean muscle gains from the resistance work outs in P90X defiantly enhance not only weight loss through the muscle burning more fat but also increase gains (loss of) in inches around the waist arms and neck. by doing…
  • I use a heart rate monitor for p90x and adjust the calories burned for each workout accordingly. I always use the same p90x entry and change time and calories for each entry
  • honestly my biggest issue with drinking while Im trying to be hardcore about losing weight is the next day. for some reason having a few cocktails on Saturday night makes me crave junk food (burgers, egg sammiches, fries etc) the next 3 meals. This is the number 1 reason i cut out most drinking. i still have a few glasses…
