Did P90 last year (the little brother to the P90X program) and cant say enough good about it.

Im going to do another cycle of it starting next week and hope to do P90X by the end of the year.

My advice, if you're not going to get all militant about your diet then at least follow the breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner schedule and don't eat within 3 hours of going to bed.

Good luck!

I'm not wanting to loose weight but tone up. Actually I'd like to put some weight on mostly in my upper body ( i can't gain weight there).

Do you think i would need to follow a strict diet to tone and add some upper muscle? I eat pretty healthy most of the time anyways.

As far as dieting, P90X is no different than any other workout program you put yourself on. You diet different ways to get different results. Find a diet program that is best for your needs. You will likely need to consume more calories if you begin a program like this as you will begin to burn a substantial amount. If you want to gain weight you need to get calories, protein, and carbs. If you do not up your intake of those, you will likely start burning out after a month or so.

Yeah, get ready to get ur ass kicked. Ive heard that it is pretty intense.

If all else fails, you can come to kickboxing at the Y with me.

Fun, I've always wanted to do kickboxing. I use to do zumba and dance out every week but it's hard to get away with a kid sometimes.

Yeah I can understand that. I was going twice a week but my buddy tore her ACL up at snowshoe a couple weeks ago. I usually go to the Harris one but went to the Dowd one last week. Its pretty intense, but way more physically demanding than the other one.

Did you already head up to Snowshoe?

Bummer!

We just got back Sunday night from Snowshoe. It was an amazing trip. I love that mountain. So many fun trails. I'm ready to go back!

I was looking to lose some lbs when I ordered the product but that's not exactly the result I ended up with. I dropped maybe 12 lbs but after a few weeks the weight started going back up while the body fat was going down. So I was putting on lean mass and getting pretty ripped for me. I was drinking a recovery shake after the workouts but other than that was holding right in the 2200 cals/day range.

So I don't think you would need to get crazy about a diet I don't think it would hurt either.

When I'm really watching what I'm eating I'll eat between 1200-1400 calories a day (which is right for my weight). I think I'll up that to about 1800 when I'm doing P90X

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
