If someone had told me that doing push-ups, pull-ups, plyometrics, yoga,
kenpo and core synergistics for 90 days would pack on 8 lbs of solid muscle,
reduce my body fat by a good 2%, add 3.5 inches to my chest, reduce my
waist by almost 3 inches and add a full 3 inches to each arm, I would have
thought they were absolutely crazy. Yet P90X did exactly that in 90 days.
When my dad told me about trying P90X and how he saw it on an
“infomercial” I thought that I’d placate him and try it for a week. Normally,
the programs pitched on television are for the fat guy who hasn’t exercised in
his life and is looking forward to an early death if he doesn’t start doing some
type of physical activity and curb his eating.
P90X is not, I repeat, not for that guy, however, it is perfect for someone
who is “in-shape” and wants more results from the time spent training. I was
hooked (and very sore) after the first week. The cool thing about P90X is that
you see definite results in the first 30 days, which keeps you primed for the
next 30 days. After 60 days you can’t wait to get to day 90, because you’re
gonna be looking fantastic . . . and you do! It doesn’t get much better than
that, especially in such a short period of time.
P90X got me in prime condition for collegiate football and definitely
increased my position performance. When former high school teammates
saw me prior to leaving for UNR they thought that I’d been doing “roids”. I
told them about P90X and Tony Horton’s philosophy of muscle confusion.
They were having a little trouble wrapping their heads around the daily
change up of exercise routines and couldn’t believe that you had to do yoga.
I, like most of my friends, had always thought yoga was for the veggie eating
people of the world who didn’t want to do “real” exercise. After sweating
through Yoga X, I have a whole new respect for them and this form of
exercise. It blasts the stabilizers, improves core concentration, mental focus
and body balance better than anything that I have ever done.
I don’t believe in diets, only good sound nutrition and the use of key
supplements. Each day my meals were supplemented with high performance
vitamins, fish oil, glucosamine, creatine and protein shakes. I could not have
gotten the results that I did without the proper supplements, plus the P90X
recovery drink is “the bomb”. You can’t believe that something that tastes
that good is really good for you. Most of those drinks leave a lot to be
desired.
The next fitness challenge is P90X+ . . . I’ll keep you posted.
