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.

INSANITY Workout DVD with Shaun T. | Beachbody 60-Day Exercise Program Review

June 7, 2010 By Steve Leave a Comment

The INSANITY workout program from Shaun T. and Beachbody is designed for the physically prepared and the mentally strong. When released, INSANITY was promoted as among the most difficult and effective workout programs ever created, surpassing even P90X in sheer intensity and effort required.

Now that my copy of INSANITY has arrived and I’ve started the workouts, I intend to write an article on each workout to give readers a feel for what’s involved with every step of the 60 day process.

Shaun T.’s “MAX Interval Training” takes you through extended bursts of high-intensity exercises with only short periods of rest, an interval approach that helps push past your previous barriers. It’s said that the program can burn up to 1,000 calories per workout…and I don’t doubt it. Follow my progress to see if I can really get a ripped, muscular physique in just 60 days — or click below to try it yourself.

While both are extreme fitness programs, INSANITY differs from P90X in that it requires no resistance bands or exercise equipment of any kind. But can it really deliver life changing results in just 60 days, compared to the 90 day P90X program? For many, it already has. The workouts are specifically designed and sequenced to give users optimal results in the shortest possible time period.

Who is Shaun T.? With a background in sports science, dance and choreography, Shaun T. owes his celebrity and credibility in part to the success of Hip Hop Abs, also from Beachbody. INSANITY takes his enthusiasm and training approach to the next level.

Even the INSANITY packaging is more impressive than that of P90X. It’s a big, substantial book housing two DVD’s per page. The rear inside cover includes a sleeve which holds the Fitness Guide and Elite Nutrition Guide. It’s a visually appealing and convenient package that will be perfect for travel.

INSANITY includes plyometric routines and nonstop intervals of strength, power, resistance, and ab and core training on 10 DVDs.

  • DVD 1. Dig Deeper & Fit Test: Shaun T. puts your body through an initial test to see what you’re made of
  • DVD 2. Plyometric Cardio Circuit: Burn fat with intervals of intense lower-body plyo and sweat-inducing cardio
  • DVD 3. Cardio Power & Resistance: Build lean muscle and upper-body definition with strength-training and Insanity workout power moves.
  • DVD 4. Cardio Recovery: Shaun T goes easier on you once a week so you’re ready for the next Insanity workout round
  • DVD 5. Pure Cardio & Abs: Skip the intervals…this nonstop cardio workout is all extreme
  • DVD 6. Cardio Abs: Do explosive intervals of cardio and core moves for rock-hard abs
  • DVD 7. Core Cardio & Balance: Take a break after month 1 of the Insanity program and gear up for month 2 with this workout
  • DVD 8. Max Interval Circuit: The interval circuit that’s more intense than anything you’ve ever done before
  • DVD 9. Max Interval Plyo: Push your legs until they beg for mercy with power and plyo, all at your MAX
  • DVD 10. Max Cardio Conditioning & Abs: Get pushed to your limit with this extreme cardio workout

P90X Results and Recovery Formula

May 30, 2010 By Lisa 1 Comment

Did you know that after a hard workout your body needs some essential vitamins and nutrients?

You need to fuel your body with vital nutrients to help your muscles repair themselves within one hour of working out for optimal results.  It is critical that you provide your body with these core nutrients it is craving after exercise.

If you’re doing Power 90®, P90X®, or any demanding fitness program, complete recovery is critical to maintaining hard-earned
results. Water replaces fluids but not the many essential nutrients which are utilized for energy or lost through sweat. P90X Recovery Formula is a re-hydrating, re-energizing drink that helps you recover faster and more completely so you feel refreshed and ready for every workout.

P90X Recovery drink will also reduce the soreness you may feel in your muscles after a strenuous workout like the P90X extreme fitness program.

An extremely convenient and effective solution is to mix up a glass of P90X Results and Recovery Formula.  It is an after-workout drink containing all the essential vitamins and nutrients your body needs after a hard workout, such as P90X or Insanity.  It also makes a great before-workout drink!  For best results with P90X Recovery drink, use within 1 hour of completing your workout. You can also drink it during your workout.

The best part is that the P90X Recovery drink tastes absolutely delicious – sort of like liquid Fruity Pebbles! How can you go wrong with that?

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!

Hate Exercise? Learn How to Find Exercise Motivation

January 30, 2010 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Not everyone feels like working out all the time. If you are not one of those people who are blessed with self-motivation to exercise, then read on! You know you need to exercise , but you just don’t have the energy or maybe  just lack the desire to workout.

Here are a few tips to get you through those days when exercising is just not happening. Maybe you need some new ideas or something to shake up your workout!

  • Music:  Make a playlist full of your favorite music.  This can often help get you feeling more motivated, energetic, or help increase your workout intensity.
  • Change your workout: For instance, if you have a favorite routine, do that one instead and do the one you’re skipping in place of the favorite on the day it comes up.
  • Do a less intense workout: If you’re a P90X graduate, or have completed Insanity – heck, even if you’re still working on either of those, take a small break!  For example, do a workout from Ten Minute Trainer instead!  It’s better than nothing!
  • Workout with a friend: Get a friend to workout with you.  Even if they can’t match your intensity level, just them being there and going through the motions will at times do wonders for your motivation.
  • Reward yourself: Plan a small reward for yourself if you do your workout.  Maybe a SMALL J  cup of ice cream later that evening.  Or maybe go buy that book you’ve been wanting.
  • Join Team Beachbody FREE and workout using WOWY, the online super gym!
  • Just do it: Just make yourself.  Yes, this is the hardest option of all, but usually even when I’m not feeling like working out, I’m loving it once again about 10-15 minutes into it.

Well, that’s all for this post.  I hope these tips can help you stay motivated at those times when you really need it as much as they have helped me.

Remember:  Keep pushing play!

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.

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?
