Let me introduce myself, my name is
Mike or
CoachRadRazor. I had never thought I would be doing this for one year and a half but since it has had such a revolutionary impact on my life, I am never going to quit! My 3 rounds of P90X and 1 round of Insanity helped me drop 68 pounds, increased my social confidence, and massively improved my happiness. I now feel better physically but my mentality has rocketed into positivity. Now I am doing my 1st round of P90X2 and looking to increase my goals and reach my full potential. I invite you to join towards the adventure of a life time into health, fitness and the fullest potential you can achieve!!
Let me give a quick insight as to what
P90X &
P90X2 is about.
P90X & P90X2 is a 90 day workout program to help get you in the best shape of your life! Each routine is different, specifically made to target certain areas of your body. Routines vary from push-ups, pull-ups and resistance training to Plyometric jump training to Yoga and Stretching.
P90X &
P90X2's main credence is
Muscle Confusion. Every 30 days, you switch up the routines so your body doesn’t adapt, giving you the ability to continue to lose weight, gain strength and see some fantastic results! All you have to do is stay committed and you are golden. What do I mean by stay committed? I am talking about giving 100% each workout and 100% to the nutrition portion as well. Working your tooshie off is only half the battle, the other half is in the kitchen.
Also, you must remember to
Write It Down! When doing resistance training, you want to get in the habit of writing down rep information after each exercise. Keep
THESE WORKSHEETS and a pencil in your exercise area. Keep track of how many reps you did along with what weight/band you used. It will help remind you what was done prior so you can set new goals. I also put little notes by the side of exercises like; “+” add weight “-“ drop weight “FORM” to improve form etc. for next time. You do not have to limit writing things down to just Resistance Training. You can do it for your Cardio Routines too!
Equipment:-
Dumbbells and/or Resistance Bands – Both are used in a variety of ways in P90X & P90X2. Pick which you are comfortable with and get pumped! If you travel a lot, resistance bands are a huge plus to have!
-
Pull-Up Bar (or Resistance Bands) – Pull-up bars are manufactured to fit in most doorways. If a pull-up bar isn’t possible, resistance bands will work too. You NEED to have the ability to anchor or hold the band in place. This is crucial! If it’s not done properly, you can seriously injure yourself.
-There are other pieces of equipment that are not required but are highly recommended which is:
Push-Up Stands, Yoga Mat, Yoga Block(s) and a
Heart-Rate Monitor. For P90X2, additional optional equipment is
Stability Ball, Foam Roller and
Medicine Ball(s). Here are some tips that will help you get to your fitness and health goals.
1. Get Those Numbers! Before starting P90X, P90X2 or your program of choice, you should take all the measurements of your body; thighs, biceps, waist, chest, weight, etc. Take Before Photos too! Those photos will give you a point to start gauging your results. The following link will send you to a video tutorial on how to best photograph your transformation.

Nothing is more important than what you put into your body! Track and plan out your meals; this will greatly aid your journey. Seriously, if you want to lose weight or get six pack abs, you must watch what you eat. Be sure to eat properly, with the correct nutrition and calorie count you can't go wrong. For hydration, a good rule of thumb is 1 quart of water per 50 pounds of weight. If losing weight is the goal, proper nutrition and hydration will naturally melt the fat away!
- Shakeology can play a key part in your transformation process! It has definitely aided in mine! I highly recommend it because it gives you a days worth of fruits and vegetables but also opens up meal opportunities for your day!3. Attitude, Accountability and
Support are equally crucial. Remember that it isn’t going to happen immediately, it will take time and dedication to alter and adapt to a new routine and potentially a new lifestyle. Having support and posting to a thread like this one has been proven to increase your ability to finish the routine you have started! When you PUSH PLAY, you just need to do one thing;
“Do Your Best And Forget The Rest!” You are the only one who knows how far you can push yourself. Staying positive is the anchor that will push you through tough times and boost you through the best.
This thread isn’t just for P90Xers, graduates of P90X, or those who have completed P90X or P90X2. It doesn’t matter which program you are using. This thread is here for you!
