Off The Reservation

It really depends on your fitness level, how much you're willing to work and your fitness goals. I'd consider myself to be in very good shape and I ended up getting a little toner from P90x but lost too much weight. If you're looking to bulk up stick with weights in a traditional gym if you want to tone/lose weight give it a shot.

Not telling you to do so, but you can find p90x on torrents if you want to "sample" it before buying,

It was alright. I prefer Insanity though.

I assume you go to a gym, so try this...I do it every yr for about 8-10 wks this tiem of yr, and then once I get into summer workouts 9weather msotly) I maintain it fairly easy.

High intensity lifting 3 tiems a week.

M=-chest, abs, tris
w=back, abs, biceps
f+shoulders, abs, legs

On chest, shoulders, back I average 25 sets or so....5 exercies normally, a lot of supersets, progressive weights....high intensity, meaning no rest in between sets, and take like 30s, between exercises. tris I do around 18sets and biceps around 15...legs is a mix....but since I run I dont get crazy. Abs, I combine a lil of everything, works out to around 300 reps in about 5 minutes...wed is plank day...I can give u more info on these if u like.

t, th, sat-cardio (for me its 5-6 mile runs on t-th, sat depending on how I recover from my leg workout, may be as short as a 5k or as long as 6miles...)
sunday- I usually go up to the hood basketball court, and play soem full court (while the kdis play on the playground...gets me dad pts with mrs pben)

diet is pretty simple....70-30 protein to carbs...no late night snacking, and eat your carbs early in the day if u can..dont get nuts about it, I eat a lil ice cream and things like that, just watch your portion control.

^^^^- this is essentially the offseason conditioning workout for a lot of fbs and fcs schools, they will do it for 8 wks or so, then switch over to mostly strength training and intervals

Look don't get religious about everything...I have vices...lil ice cream, cigars (maybe one a wk), whiskey/bourbon...if you are a t a friends and they have game food out, have 3-4 wings a nd a slice or two of pizza, it wont kill you.

I usually take in about 32-48oz of water during a workout, and about the same beofre and after a run.

Its about as simple as it gets, and does not take up much time (you should be able to do the runs in between 40-50mins and the lifting in less than an hr)

I have done it. It worked for me. Then we had our second child and now I have to start over.

I tried it for a month or so a few years ago and didn't notice a huge difference. I probably didn't stick with it long enough to get the results that I was looking for. I had never done yoga before P90X and was surprised at the flexibility I gained after 4-5 weeks of it. I think the biggest factor when you see the before and afters of the people on the informercial is their diet. If you can stick with the diet that you get in the materials, you'll see results. I believe they switch the protein/carb/fat ratios with every phase also. Any time that I'ved ever leaned up, it's been because of a change in my diet.

My wife works nights. So because of that I have had literally no workout time. I already get up at 5 to go to work and get my daughter to school. I really do not want to get up any earlier.

I do roughly 30g of fat a day...its not a 365 day plan, just 810 wks.

What other problems you see?

I like feedback

You used a calculator

8-10 weeks

I did a full cycle and it transformed my life. Made my own version of the diet, basically eliminated non-diet drinks of any kind, something i still haven't stopped, as i haven't had a non-diet soda in over a year. I stuck to Lean Cuisine , Marie Callendar's ,etc type meals and tried some portion control, ate healthy snacks, Special K and the like. When i started i was 268 lbs, after about 2 and a half months i was down to an amazing 220, and in the best shape of my life. Now i'm a bigger guy by design, but what it did for me was truly remarkable. If you just do it as good as you can to the best of your ability on every given day, you will see results. If you don't diet at all, and only do 1-3 dvds a week, whenever you feel like it, and not the correct ones, it will not work for you. Pretty simple explanation, but most don't understand such simple notions when it comes to a workout plan.

I will be starting Insanity soon, to see what that does for me.

Needing some "fitness plan" advice, just started the revised lifestyle "diet"; getting it tightened-up but it looks like this:

1) Immediately upon waking (5:30am) - Apple + Whey
Weight Training or HIIT
2) Immediately after training - Bannana + Whey
3) 1 can tuna (h20), 1 medium potatoe + ketchup or mustard
4) 4 Whole eggs + raw veggies
5) 4oz Chicken/fish/lean beef, raw veggies, nuts
6) 4oz Chicken/fish/lean beef, raw veggies, nuts
7) Casien blend shake

Basic principles are not mixing sugars and fats; have to be creative on the menu but the system works. Allowing a cheat meal (or 2) a week but not going crazy.

Well let me rephrase, nothing is wrong! Just think you can optimize your plan a little more. I'd love to chat with you about it if you have some free time. Message me and we'll discuss some stuff.
Macro's are important. I'm on a 240/160/45 split and getting awesome results. Timing is also key

I'm also a huge Visalus fan, i use it (with added ingredients) to supplement upon my meals.
I got a write up about the product here. I would never endorse something I did not use myself.

Lots of pre-work with meals, whey makes the am easier. I agree on getting the macros from whole foods, it's a convienence factor.
