Is sore a gain, because if so then I am doing good. I really can't tell you about results. I really did just start it and so it's too early to say what kind of gains/results I've had. I'm sure I will be happy with results as the people I talk to that are members are happy. I'm shooting for the 6-pack abs.

lol it's crossed my mind a number of times..but work is not lettin up any and if i wanna keep my taco..its something i gotta do.. Once you get a hold of p90x get on it! lol i just carried a 1 gallon jug with me everywhere. i'd say its worth it, after you cut the soda you wake up not feeling groggy or slow
Done! No more SODA!!!! I will make that promise to myself on here and to you guys. Water... here we come. I've got to do it. I keep talking about it. Maybe I should post pics... NOT! Haha. Now, I need to get a hold of that P90X or something similar. For what its worth, I just email CrossFit in the Miramar area for a free session. Its gonna happen.

I hear you can actually obtain an 8 pack! Hmmm? Damn that would be hot. It's on like donky-kong.

8-packs are possible. Why don't you look into CrossFit and try it out.

muscle confusion on which p90x is based IMHO is a weider principle that has been around for decades.

I would suggest that you guys buy some books and find out about all the weider principles. They are what modern bodybuilding is built on.

also a book called big beyond belief has some awesome workout programs in it.

I got thrashed on it. I mean if you figure 6'3" 195 and 6% BF to be thrashed. but that was over 10 years ago . I still did some of the easier ramps up till like 5 years ago. But I figured it was iimportant to build a life and a retirement too.

BBB is good for that cuz the workouts are short but super intense. But the immediate recovery period is like two hours for a 20 min work out I just dont have the time to be basically comatose for an extra two hours 3 - 5 times a week.

A huge Idea is to just basically never consume any thing that comes in a box bag or can. eating straight raw foods and hardly ever anything pre processed or with visible fat in it (except for perhaps lean meats and fish). Doing this will go a long way to reducing the BF which covers your muscles up esp for those of us who are further along the road of life.

cardio vasculer health is really important too as is flexability.

these days Im basically a constuction slug. I work endless hours and am carrying 35# too much BF. and I eat horribly

i too am thinking about doing this. I am just doing a general workout routine that was given to me on here in one of my workout threads. I am seeing results but not as quick and not in the places i really want. Ive heard a ton of people say its great. a few people at my office say their husbands and brothers use it and its been working for them..... might as well give it a try! its expensive though! 170.00! yikes. guess its worth it though!

I emailed a location to check out a class. After I did some searches locally, its like $295 for 6 classes. WTF! I'd rather do the P90X video and buys weights and resistant bands for $295.

I'm adjusted to my 5pm to 1am shift. Perhaps I can borrow it for 90 Days. JK. I'd say jump on it.

The only trick with p90x or any work out is that you gotta keep up with it..even after the 90 days other wise it all goes to waste...as an example after i finished the 30days i got caught up with school and work...after stopping for 2 weeks everything disappeared but if you can maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly you should be good to go!!
x2

I tried it for a month then I stopped (very dumb). I did see result quickly and unexpectedly. However, I think P90x is mainly to get ripped/shredded and to lose body fat. I'm looking to build more muscles because I'm puny with a big belly.

I remember when I used to workout at a gym and I would be able to bench more than my friends then I stopped and I tried p90x. I thought it was great since I was getting toned up, but when I went to the gym to lift with him he would be able to push more weights. I'm back at the gym now because I don't have enough space to do p90x at where I live now.

For the record... No soda today and at least 1 liter of water. No P90X yet, but the mentality is there.

That's good! I hope you keep it up once you start it.

He's right. You don't need too big of a space but I was just referring to myself with the space thing. Now if you do it the living room just make sure you have a "doorway" to hang the chin/pull up bars.

my buddy used it for a while. he was pretty out of shape so he couldn't keep up with it. from what i can tell, it will deliver the results it promises if you stick with it. the problem, is you need to be somewhat in shape before starting. if you notice the before and after shots the people are healthy looking, but this gets them ripped as hell. my friend was about 70lbs overweight and could not do the work outs. once he loses weight he plans to do it to get into beach season shape. if you are 20lbs overweight, go for it, and it will prolly work. if you are borderline obese, you may have a heart attack

Alright guys. It's been a full week with no soda. Quitting like that (cold turkey) is hard. I had the chance to drink a Pepsi with lunch. Instead it was another 2 liters of water. I've got the mind set. Hoping to motivate anyone else who is on the fence about doing p90X as well. I've haven't started that yet, but I'm working on it.

i had a buddy that did this while he was overseas. he was always a stocky beefy guy but he came back very lean and cut. i was very surprised. ive been wanting to do this but being that i work rotating shifts (days and nights) its hard to get into any sort of routine to be able to consistently do this
