P90X Review

So many people have been asking me how I have became healthy and fit, I felt it was time for a P90X review! I have had both friends and family asking me for advice on whether P90X truly works, how it works, and if they would be a good fit. Every time I am asked about it I get excited because it’s an opportunity for me to share my story and hopefully help create ones for others.

First off, I always start by telling them that I am not a professional in fitness by any stretch of the imagination. Most if not all the knowledge I have from health and fitness has been acquired through my own searching, questioning, and digging. I am a firm believer in being all natural. Good hard American work, proper nutrition, and a powerful attitude are what drive me, not short cuts.

When people ask me man how did you get so cut? I tell them through P90X, my diet and attitude. They get that I worked out and see that as the main reason for my success but what they don’t understand is that it’s not about the workouts. Diet plays a key role.

I have successfully completed two full rounds of P90X, along with many hybrids of Insanity and Rev Abs. P90X is always my bread and butter.

The program is based around a total and complete workout program. For six days a week you do a different workout that is designed to help you maximize results in the 90 days. A typical week could look like this:

Monday- Chest and Back

Tuesday- Plyo

Wednesday – Shoulders and Arms

Thursday – Yoga

Friday – Legs and Back

Saturday – Kenpo

It is always changing and always adapting to a new phase.

The biggest part is the nutrition. This is where you separate your results from good to holy cow! Nutrition plays such a powerful part is actually more important for the 6-pack abs then the workouts. 80% of your results comes from your food intake. The P90X guides does what so many other programs leave out and that is details everything you should eat J It is all right there for you!

I came into P90X with the idea that I wanted to lose some weight, get ripped, and feel better. If you read my success story you will see that it really changed my whole outlook on some many things. P90X was a release for me. It was my time to shine and prove to myself I could do it despite all my other “problems”.

If you are thinking about giving it chance I highly recommend it. It changed my life for ever. In closing, I want to leave a few tips for you to get started.

Equipment:

Here is a list of things you will need to get started.

- Pull-Up Bar

* Beachbody had a great one or you can go with the Iron Gym. It tends to be

smaller.

- Dumbbells or Resistance Bands

* The Bands are cheaper but I am weights guy J

- Yoga Mat

* Tried to do it without one and I strongly recommend one.

- Push Up Stands

* Tony Hortons Power Stands are great. They are designed to not roll on you.

- Good Shoes

* A must J

Supplements:

These are a must and I will outline my favorite in another blog.

My experience with P90X has been life changing. I have suffered with lots of anxiety because of heart issue and it was hard for me to find relief outside of alcohol. I don’t if you are in that place in your life but ask yourself is it worth living in fear all the time?

P90X gave me the power to keep living without worrying about my condition. This program set me free and would I recommend it?

You bet! It could be the smartest thing you have every done and spent money on.

Creating the IMPACT PERSON

I know many people love watching the Show The Biggest Loser. On the surface it is about weight loss. Can a guy or gal drop the most weight? Get their health under control? Lower blood pressure or cholesterol? Whatever it is we place the focus on health. The greatest part is that tends to be just the side affects.

Everyday people start programs because they want to change the health effect. The best part is during that journey the price actually becomes the price. Everyone is meant for something great. When we step outside of our comfort zone and do a program or embark on the fitness journey we gain something so much valuable than that.

You may get the six pack, or the arms, or lowered blood pressure but the true value comes in the person you become in the end. It is never about the weight loss. It is about the person you are when it is over. It is about the journey. You see you are never the same person you where before you started. You are now an impact person. You now have the power to take on the world in a different light.

People look to you and say what is it that you do differently and all you say is, I changed. I became something I never thought I could. What you don’t understand, before hand, is that you are working not on your health but on YOU. Becoming an impact person is what you were meant to be. People are looking at you now saying MY TURN. This is the most powerful feeling in the world.

Today the world needs the Jillian’s and Bob’s. Today the world needs you! Never focus on the weight. Focus on the journey. You are where you are now because you have not grown enough to get you to where you NEED or WANT to be. Start growing, and make changes so you can be that IMPACT person. What you can’t see is that people need you. This WORLD needs you. When you realize that, well my friends, that is when the Journey really beings!

To the New Year and the NEW YOU!
