well before you begin a workout, consult a doctor, if you are healthy to do so. Pushing yourself to far, will lead to death. But of course you can do it in moderation, so start by jogging and see where your body is at.
well do it smart. Don't do it where you "blackout" like OP is doing it. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Like I used to train weith "weights" while jogging. 20lb vest.
Did any of them die using P90x? I have P90x. I paid the full frakking price and never finished it. Yeah, it was hard, but the real issue is that Tony Horton is so fucking annoying. ~String
you dont need to consult a doctor. unless you have a heart condition.. get yo urself a heartrate monitor.. find your target heartrate.. try not to go over it.. i suggest starting on mondy with chest/back.. eat how the guide tells you to do so too a healty diet is 70% of losing weight imo and lastly stick to it
Here's the deal. If you want to obtain a quick muscle gain and tone look go for it, but its not healthy in my opinion. The people who should do P90x are those who have been working out for a few months. I suggest take the "muscle confusion" concept, the total body workouts, and the intensity at your own pace. Do you want a healthy body or a ugly tone, which it will give you lol, crooked abed MFers, and an unhealthy body? Its your life, but you wanted suggestions. Itll work if you stick to it i'm sure, but I just don't like what they are selling.
Then change up routine. For instance do smaller weights with more reps. In between your bench sets, do back pull downs. DO CORE!!!
Lol, I've seen my dad do the P90x a few times and that guy really got on my nerves!! Maybe you could just mute it though?
i gained 50lbs of muscle in about 8 months just taking suppliments wnent from 130 to around 182 now im just hovering around 174 trying to lose some of this access fat. im not big i have around 15% body fat want to get down to the 9-11% range
Yep. But I hate working out in my house. I have a gym membership and that works better. I did recoup half my cost though, I sold it to a friend. ~String
A lot of it goes back to that snide comment from Tobey Maguire, when asked by Letterman how he got in such great shape. Tobey said "By eating right and exercising (dur)." But it's true. P90X (and yes I'm doing this too, week 3 currently), is pretty intense. You have to eat enough and often to make sure you don't crap out during the workout sessions. Each workout lasts between 1 and 1.5 hrs (depending on the day). Here's the breakdown for the first 3 weeks (week 4 is a "recovery" week): 1. Chest & Back, Abs 2. Plyometrics 3. Arms & Shoulders, Abs 4. Yoga 5. Legs & Back, Abs 6. Kenpo 7. Rest So, this adds to your muscle confusion throughout that given week. And it seriously works the hell out of you each time you do it. Yes, Tony is a bit over the top, but the guy's 45 at the time of the video and in fantastic shape--sometimes you need someone to yell at you (though he always encouraging, which is nice) to do that next rep. The first week is terrible! Constant pausing of the DVDs, tongue-lolling as you're trying to catch your breath, etc. It gets better, of course. But the real challenge is the other 20-some odd hours of the day as you try and make sure to keep to their nutrition plan / diet (which changes month-to-month). What else did you have planned for the next 90 days? It's going good so far, and it feels like the bad soreness is starting to become a good soreness. I have lost zero pounds so far (not a big guy anyway), though I have increased my muscle mass (I hope!). Apologies for being self-indulgent but wanted to give my two cents.
