Welcome!

This is where I'll be posting my progress with a new fitness regime that interests me. Many friends and coworkers have had great success with it and I'd like to see what it can do for me!

I'm going to be doing the P90X system soon and I'd really like to have someone do it with me. As it is now, my sister isn't interested and my boyfriend has a gym fee that he's obligated to pay.

If you don't know, P90X is a very intense workout and nutrition regime. The program includes a 13-disc set of varied exercises, a calendar and fitness plan, and a nutrition plan.



From the website:

P90X is a revolutionary system of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. You'll also receive a comprehensive 3-phase nutrition plan, specially designed supplement options, a detailed fitness guide, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more. Your personal trainer, Tony Horton, will keep you engaged every step of the way, and you won't believe your results!

Why is P90X so effective?

The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "Muscle Confusion," which accelerates the results process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus, and you never get bored! Whether you want to get lean, bulk up, or just plain get ripped, there's an endless variety of ways to mix and match the routines to keep you motivated the full 90 days and beyond!

In order to complete the program, you need some things:

1) Chin-up bar
2) Some type of resistance with varying weights not to exceed 70 pounds (barbells, resistance bands)
3) Yoga mat and blocks
optional: heart rate monitor, push-up stands

Before you start, you need to be in pretty good shape already. The first video is a 40-minute fitness test where you are required to keep up. If you can't do it, they recommend that you get in shape more before starting. This is hardcore and can really mess you up if your body isn't ready for it. However, it apparently really works well. You can see a billion before/after shots on Google or YouTube.

ANYWAY, I'm planning on starting the program on the week that includes April 01 (starting Sunday, March 29). Does anyone want to do it with me?
