June 17, 2010 By Steve 1 Comment

P90X Peak Health Formula

P90X Peak Health Formula is designed to ensure that your body receives all the essential nutrients it needs as you work your way through an extreme training system such as P90X or INSANITY.  It also boosts energy so you’ll never feel too tired to do a workout, and enhances your immune system.

P90X Peak Health Formula is essentially a potent and very complete multivitamin designed especially to meet the needs of a very active individual engaged in high-intensity training.

  • High-potency multivitamin-mineral
  • High-potency antioxidant coverage
  • Immune support
  • Energy support
  • Cardiovascular support
  • Memory and nerve support
  • Anti-aging support
  • Anti-stress support
  • Support for skin, hair, and nails

I took this vitamin throughout all three months of P90X and I’m thankful I did.  It did considerably boost my energy, and also helped my body feel energized even after a grueling workout.   This formula is highly recommended if you’re doing any extreme training program.

Pride in Exercising | It’s Not Just About How You Look

April 22, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

There are thousands of articles on the internet about the physical benefits of exercise, so I won’t attempt to add to those.  This post is more about the pride which comes with sticking to and completing an exercise program.

I am currently working through P90X for the third time.  I didn’t jump right in — I first conditioned my body gradually and got used to daily exercise using Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer, completing two rounds of TMT before moving on to P90X.

The first round was actually the easiest for me to stick with.  I was extremely devoted and never missed a day, even when sick.  The pride and psychological benefits that come with starting and finishing a program are just indescribable, especially an extreme fitness program like P90X or INSANITY.

This sense of pride is developed through the devotion required to finish a program and overcome the mental and physical challenges involved.  It’s also a proven fact that exercise boosts  self-esteem.  The TV infomercials neglect to mention the psychological benefits and mental changes that occur as you work through a fitness program.  To finish a program alone takes will power, devotion, and mental strength, which in turn builds a sense of pride, accomplishment and confidence that affects all aspects of your life.

Choose the fitness program that’s right for you and get started today!

Your Exercise Environment

January 24, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

P90XThe importance of the environment in which you exercise can often be overlooked, especially if you workout at home and have a regular routine established.

This topic occurred to me about two weeks ago while doing my P90X Plyometrics workout.  That day I chose to workout in the bedroom, which is much smaller than my regular workout spot in the living room.

I quickly realized that exercising in a smaller space was forcing me to maintain better form during each exercise.  There wasn’t as much room for mistakes and my form was tighter and I was making each movement as efficiently as possible.

Another benefit was being able to watch my movements in the mirror.  This helped me not only maintain proper form, but also to keep my intensity level consistent.

Having more objects available to focus on during certain exercises was also helpful.  For example, during the “hot foot” exercise that involves jumping in the shape of a cross, I  was able to make sure my cross lined up with the gaps in the tile on the floor.

Always consider the environment you exercise in…and mix it up.  It really can make a big difference in motivation, focus and results.

Resistance Bands vs. Dumbbells

January 18, 2010 By Paul Leave a Comment

B-Lines Resistance Bands

Resistance bands are showing up more and more now in the fitness world, in gyms, and workout routines like P90X . Workout resistance bands have been around for almost a century. These workout bands were originally used as a fitness technique, and then progressed to be used as a rehabilitation device. Now, resistance bands are widely used for fitness and rehabilitation.

Dumbbells are excellent for resistance training, but dumbbells are only one dimensional, offering resistance against gravity. P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands do not rely on gravity to provide resistance; this makes the P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands’ movement more functional in simulating everyday activities and sport specific activities, opening up unlimited potential for use.

Because free weights rely on gravity for resistance, they only provide resistance in a vertical plane; this means if you use free weights in a horizontal plane, such as side twists, there is no resistance. With P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands , if you were to anchor down one side and perform exercises such as side twists, sidekicks, punches, or even sport movements such a baseball swing, or a basketball pass, they provide resistance.

Both traditional dumbbells and resistance bands provide similar capabilities of resistance, and range of motion, which are critical for muscle strength and fat loss. P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands are an excellent alternative to the traditional dumbbells, as resistance bands offers many advantages.

Benefits of P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands:

  • Portability – lightweight and easily stored and transported. Use it anywhere, indoors, outdoors, in a hotel, anywhere.
  • Compact – P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands are as portable as they come, and you don’t need to take the whole set with you. They easily fit in a pocket of a suitcase, or a corner of your backpack or overnight pack.
  • Function – P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands offers more functional strength, better injury prevention, greater ability to change muscle emphasis during exercises, and easier use.
  • Affordable – at $40 for the set, it is less than a month’s of membership at a gym!

    • Best of all, you can work out at your convenience, in the privacy of your home or take them along for travel.

    P90X B-LINES® Resistance Bands are a great piece of equipment that rivals the most expensive home gyms and health clubs yet fit in your workout bag!

    I currently use the Super kit, our most popular kit, which comes with range of 15-30lbs. It is more than enough of me when I do the P90X Shoulders & Arms workout. An excellent way to keep your self motivated it to get the next set up, which is what I have done. I’m struggling with last few reps right now, but I have already gotten the Extreme Kit (20-40lbs) because of the progress I’m making. For women, I’d recommend starting with the Standard Set (15-30lbs), then progress to the Super Kit.

    Workout Schedules & Self-Disclipline

    January 15, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

    How do you make time to workout when you have a busy daily schedule?  Do you have a set time to exercise or does it vary from day to day?

    My daily schedule has worked well for my needs and led to great success.  When I get home from work absolutely nothing gets done until I do my P90X workout.  I don’t even sit down or check email until the routine is finished. On weekend mornings my workout always comes first.

    Here are some benefits of a structured exercise schedule:

    • Builds self-discipline
    • Keeps you motivated
    • Easily becomes a habit
    • Helps plan other daily activities

    Need some help choosing and getting into a routine?

    Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide | Book Review

    January 13, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

    Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide: The No-Diet Weight Loss Solution
    by David Zinczenko is an extraordinary nutrition guide that shows you exactly what to buy and what to shy away from at the grocery store.

    I’m personally finding this resource a huge help every time I go to the supermarket.  The book is divided up into helpful sections such as breads, fridge items, freezer items, etc.  One of the best features is the inclusion of actual pictures of the product packaging, with the healthier items on the left hand side, and the less healthy items on the right.

    Eat This Not That features food and additive facts and ideas for saving money on high-quality food items.  Plus, it has tips on navigating a supermarket layout to find the healthiest choices. It also includes a section of healthy and easy to follow recipes.

    If you are not following the meal plan for your favorite exercise program such as P90X, INSANITY, Brazil Butt Lift or RevAbs, this book will be a significant time saver when it comes time to ensuring proper nutrition.
