Day 3 of daylight savings and it is still kicking my butt. Yet again I had difficulties waking up, and getting ready for our workout. I almost had another zombified workout, but it I was a little bit better than Monday. I am hoping I will be able to catch the sleep I’ve been chasing [...]

Today’s workout was shoulders, biceps, and triceps. But instead of doing the entire workout twice through as Tony has you do, we did X-Reps. X-Reps are something new Nancy and I are doing. Basically X-reps are a pulsing move we do at the end of our reps. For example with regular curls, we do our [...]

Hi Everyone, It’s been a few months since I introduced you to Bob (see my original post about success being a journey at http://www.pressplayfitness.com/?p=687). If you remember, Bob had been a basic couch potato for over 25 years and it showed. He started P90X to see what it could do for him, he initiated his [...]

Man oh man I’m glad Nancy and I are on recovery week. Today we did ARX and X Stretch. ARX seemed unusually difficult, but I’m guessing that is because today was the first time we did ARX since Sat. It’s funny how after not doing X-Stretch for a while, you forget how great it feels. [...]

I mentioned yesterday that Chris and I were on our 1st recovery week of our new HIIT training. Today we did Kenpo which we have not done for quite awhile and it showed. I noticed a clear slowness caused by having to spend more mental energy thinking about the moves as I was doing them [...]

Chris and I made it through the first 4 weeks of our hybrid P90X/Insanity/HIIT training. The results are now clear. Chris has added on 3lbs of weight and it appears to be all muscle (didn’t do the bodyfat test but he’s measuring bigger in biceps and chest). I have lost 1/2″ on my waist, 1/4″ [...]

Occasionally I get asked about whether I’ve tried the Body for Life program and if so, how does it compare to P90X.  About a decade ago, I did do the Body for Life program and I did get in great shape.  Now I do P90X and I’m in great shape.  So is one better than [...]

After the first 90 days on P90X/Insanity I was amazed at how far I had come so I wasn’t sure what to expect with round 2. But I have to say I’m really pleased with the results!

Blast Fat Off your Abs with P90X! Important Update July 2010: I wrote the following post about 10 months ago when I was just starting to take off the huge amount of fat I had accumulated around my gut. Now I’m a new person at 51 years old looking to see just how ‘hot’ a [...]
