Heard Mike & Mike (ESPN) pimping/selling the program this morning on the drive into work. Apparently they are both doing it. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Golic's donut eatin' ass is doing jump knee tucks. LOL

I didn't change anything, other than adding P90X plus and one on one's in to the mix. Just mix it up, create your own schedule. Thats whats great about it. If you add Plus and one on ones you can get really creative with your schedule.KR1245 wrote:Did you do anything differently in rounds 2,3 and 4? I'm starting round 2 on Monday with some heavier weights. I think I'm going to to doubles as well. I know a few people that switched to bands for round 2, just curious to see what you did.vdubb96 wrote: P90X to build strength,stamina and for weight loss. Insanity to lose weight and get crazy cardivascular fitness. Both are very very good at what they are for. I've done 4 rounds of X and have a few Insanity discs. P90X is still by far the best "overall" workout. Try P90X plus or Tony's One on One's if your looking for something different but in the same relm of X. Xplus is very good!

A dumb question.
Is alcohol forbidden? I'd like to do this and I could handle the food portion, but I like to drink too much. What's their take on alcohol?

Consider the source of that comment... No its not encouraged. I'd say its like any other workout program, if you can cut out alcohol completely you will see better results. If you drink, you can still benefit from P90x but the results won't be as drastic.TBone14 wrote:Really?Society wrote:It's encouraged.TBone14 wrote: A dumb question.

I'm not doing P90x, but I am doing the insanity workout (Considered by some as P90x on roids) I cut alcohol out and lost a lot of weight quickly. I think in the food book they sent with the program, it has 7 tiers with 1 being the best foods and 7 being the worst I believe Beer was in the 6th tier and wine was in the 4th don't remember seeing liquor

It seems to me back gets an imbalanced amount of attention compared to other areas...especially chest and legs.

^^^Insanity is deff. a great cardiovascular workout!!! It's not on par with P90X as far as muscle confusion/building goes but it's still a very good program.
Side note Fab4runner is contemplating starting P90X, I think she should rock it out!!!!

After the beating up your chest with all of those pushups, your body NEEDS a week to recover. Legs get more training than anything, IMO, with legs & back, plyo, yoga and whichever kenpo routine you do. Legs are indirectly hit with the yoga & kenpo.Con_Alma wrote: It seems to me back gets an imbalanced amount of attention compared to other areas...especially chest and legs.
I do have an issue with back twice a week though. Not a fan.

A question about the diet. It gives you different things to eat during phase one each day of the week. Is the the diet meant to go with the workout you are doing that day, or could you just pick one of the days menus and eat that everyday of the week? I would drive myself nuts spending all that time cooking food for each day, seems like it would be easier to make alot of a few things and eat the same thing everyday.

They don't coincide with the workouts. You can eat whatever ones you want on whatever days you want. Follow it and results will come!

I haven't counted but it sure seems the pure number of back exercises is very high. if I max out my push up reps and then consider maxing out all of the pull up reps plus the pulling routines with weights it just doesn't seemed balanced to me. I might go count them tomorrow.

Hello all! I'm still doing P90X, but I've adapted it to the gym, and i must admit if you're using bands and can afford free weights; ditch the bands now and go get free weights!!! The difference is HUGE!!!
I'm doing really well, I just started week 2 of Phase 3 and the progress is amazing.
Oh and my favorite quote that I MUST keep telling myself during Plyo is, "You can do anything for 30 seconds!"
