Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

For me it was hard to achieve since my diet…

So, I have 3 more weeks left to finish P90X. This is my second round doing it, my first round was 2 years ago. At this point I want to finish this 3 weeks strong but I want to intensify my workouts. As a result I came with the idea of modifying lots of things about P90X. I replaced Yoga with Intervals X Plus (I know how…

And I thought the formula was wrong :(
So after entering my info to use P90X formula to calculate the amount of calories I should be eating when doing P90X, it said I was supposed to eat 2800 calories a day. Seriously? That would be easy if I was eating unhealthy food, but once you start making smart choices about what to eat and eat clean, that number is a…

Keep it to yourself :)
If people wouldn't question your motives, whether with good intentions or not, you wouldn't have to defend yourself to others, waste energy explaining your reasons and getting out of focus from what matters the most, which is your goal. Instead, keep it to yourself, work on your success and surprise the world with your…

Question to the P90Xers
Hey everyone, I wanted to ask those who are doing P90X or have done it already, the following question. Have any of you tried using a flat/incline bench and dumbbells as a replacement for some of the push ups during the chest workouts? The reason why I ask this is because not only I'd like to mix it up with the muscle…

Awesome, I've lost 0 lbs lost in 3 weeks
Awesome? You might think. Yes, I said it right, I'm happy I haven't lost a pound during my first 3 weeks of P90X. Now why am I so happy? Because my goal have never been to lose weight, just to lose body fat AND to gain muscle mass. It seems that the amount of protein I've been eating along with the rest of my diet have…

Don't be discouraged by the scale...
Quick message to most of you. Scales are NOT 100% accurate. Yes, they're accurate when it comes about giving your total body weight, but it won't tell you where that weight is coming from. If you're working out, and you're muscles are growing at the same time you're burning fat, the number on the scale might not change so…
