About Me...

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!

    P90X Reviews – Day 51

    Core Synergistics – This is one of my favorite routines, I love how it works your whole body including your cardiovascular system. My intensity level has definitely increased throughout this program.  These workouts are becoming more difficult because I am pushing myself to the max. I completed every exercise this morning and I went very hard up until the time clock hit zero…I was exhausted half way through until the end. I hope I can maintain this intensity level and continue to fight for those extra reps as that is the key to see great results. The other key is eating healthy and the fact that my intensity level is increasing is a good sign my nutrition plan is solid. If you are feeling fatigued during your workouts, evaluate what is going into your body. Your body is the first indicator if you are not consuming enough calories and/or the wrong foods. Do not confuse being fatigued with not having the strength and/or cardiovascular endurance to finish the exercises. Both your strength and cardiovascular endurance will improve daily but if you are not eating correctly, you will not have the energy to complete these intense workouts.

    I know a few people that started P90X on January 4th (yesterday) so I just want to send them some support. The first couple of weeks are the hardest, especially if you are following the nutrition plan and not used to eating healthy all of the time. Take it one day at a time and trust me, things will get easier. I do remember feeling exhausted the first couple of weeks during the workouts and my goal was just to finish them. I sometimes ended the exercises 10 seconds short just to recoup a bit before beginning the next one. Now, I push myself hard to get that exhausted feeling and I love every minute of it…well, not every minute but you know what I mean. You will not regret your decision, keep it up!

      fightFAT: Chris - My P90X MASS routine would be perfect for you. To be honest, I thought I was going to bulk up more (physically) but it did not work out that way. What ended up happening was an increase in lean muscle. This makes sense but I also saw a significant increase with my strength. Again, my goal was to bulk up but I did not consume enough calories to make it happen. At the time, I just finished P90X doubles where I lost 27lbs so I was a bit hesitant on eating too much as I did not want to gain the weight back I just lost. Oddly enough, I have no desire to bulk up anymore…I have the same goal as you, building lean muscle. If I wasn't going to be training for my upcoming triathlons, I would be doing P90X MASS myself. I have received tons of emails claiming how effective it has been for different people. Good Luck

      Chris: Hey, I just found this blog and am looking for some solid, experienced, advice. I have two rounds of P90X down and am on my final week of Insanity. Now I want to put on some lean mass and I've been considering either P90X Mass or more of a 5x5 plan. I'm trying to comb through your blog for results of your Mass circuit and can't find it. Do you have any before/after information (or other info) to help me pick a workout to do next? Thanks, C

      fightFAT: Following P90X with Insanity is very impressive, good for you. I would definitely bring over Ab Ripper X if you are up for it. I initially thought that myself but never followed through with it. Good luck

      Matt: Hey dude, I had a question for you. I'm wrapping up round 2 of P90X in a few weeks and starting Insanity right after. I'm really loving my upper body after P90X and I've decided I'm going to keep doing the resistance workouts from Days 1 and 3 of the week along with Insanity. My question is, what are your thoughts on bringing ab ripper with me too? I know Insanity doesn't have too much resistance work, but I know it has a lot of ab stuff which is why I'm wondering. Congrats on the progress man, and thanks for the info! -Matt

      fightFAT: There is no harm in hitting pause and/or taking breaks so my recommendation is to stick with insanity. As you continue to workout, you will not only see improvement but eventually be able to keep up with the video.
