I consider myself an average 33 year old guy who is married with two young kids. I work full-time during the day so my plan is to start my workouts no later than 5:30am. I know this is not going to be easy but I am determined to get in the best shape of my life!
What’s included: Free Personal Trainer; Access to WOWY SuperGym, where you can win cash and prizes up to $1000 a day; Access to Message Boards where you can see tons of before and after pictures as well as get helpful fitness and nutrition tips.
Before making your decision, this is what Tony Horton has to say about it…
Personally, I think you need to do what works for you. If forcing yourself to do yoga-x makes you dread P90X, don’t do it! I decided after phase 1 to only do the first 47 minutes of it and since I made that move, I really started enjoying this workout.
: That is a significant drop. You may want to look at my P90X MASS routine, read the articles under the "popular post" column. Also, I highly recommend buying a 40lb exercise vest...I absolutely love mine and it crushes you during the chest workouts (I bought mine on amazon for $70)
: Hey I am 6 weeks in and I went to the gym to do some bench and I have gone from benching 315 to barely being able to do 195. I am pissed! I have lost so much strength!!! Any advice? I am ready to quit! Losing that much strength isnt worth the 2% bodyfat I have lost or all the beer I havent drank since day 1
: Thanks! Check out the link below but minus out the casein protein shakes to start. Both Drisc and I lost 27-30 pounds following this program for 90 days (I allowed myself about 5 cheat meals in 90 days)...we pretty much kept our calorie count between 1700-1900 a day. As you get more fit, your body will demand more calories (metabolism increases) so throw in those casein shakes or something similiar. Everyone is different so listen to your body to make sure you are eating enough. P90 will definitly get you ready for P90X, keep in touch... http://fightfatblogger.com/nutrition/
: Great job on the triathlon. Had a question, I am just starting P90, tried P90x but struggled so thought I should do a round of p90 first. What do you follow for a diet? Thanks
: Thank you, and congrats on taking the Power90 / P90X challenge... Seeing that you have to workout on an empty stomach, I would recommend having a protein shake the night before. Your muscles will feed off it while you are sleeping and your body will use it as fuel during your morning workout.

I substitute yoga with cardio-x!! Cardio has 20 mins of yoga, which is plenty for me!! I like to Run sprints after I am done with it!.. Great post ty!

I stumbled on this blog recently and also, coincidentally, do only the first 45 minutes. After the chattaranga part of the workout ends, and the balance stuff begins, I lose interest. The first 45 minutes are plenty tough as it is.

I actually mix it up between the Yoga X and Stretch X; it seems to be the same exercises except the Stretch doesn’t have all of the Chattarunga moves.
I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of this portion; being that it’s long, but I’ll do what’s necessary to achieve the best results.
Great blog, I’m glad I stumbled upon it.

That’s a good idea. If you want the best results possible, do not underestimate the nutrition piece.
