Ordered P90X today!

[Stlcards1]

I see a lot on ebay but none have the diet book its nothing but the cds. LMK how in detail the book is or do you think if you just get the dvds that would work?

I would definitely get the diet book and workout book.

i just ordered it... should be here late next week. Some co-workers have been doing it with awesome results so we will see how it goes

[pootshwan]

Mike and Mitch any updates? I'd like to hear how it's working out for the both of you.

Well right now i am not able to walk because of dislocating my kneecap but i lost a total of about 18 pounds in the first go round... My wife is 9 months pregnant and we are planning on starting it again as soon as she is able too... Ill be honest though... it is intense. I thought i was in decent shape when i started but the first week or so i was falling behind Tony and the rest of them constantly.... It is all in the motivation to do it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get in shape though. Make sure you get the pull up bar and a dip machine though... Also you will need a pretty large area to perform all the workouts... I did however skip[ Yoga as i just was not getting much out of it (probably not doing all of it right) and substituted a 3 mile run on that night. The workout book it comes with is awesome but the dietary recommendations are a little tough to go by if you work full time and cant spend a lot of time on dinner.

As an update for me, I had to take a different work out approach. I got activated by the Air Force and my duty won't end until 13 July. I'm pulled 14 hours days 4-5 days a week, which makes p90x impossible at this time.

The good news is I started working out alot before I bought p90x. I started out at 174 and now weigh in at 159. My goal is 150 by mid-July. The goal is to start p90x within a week of my full-time Air Force duty end date.

I'd say diet is 70% of the key to losing wight!

Some things that I've done as far as diet:

• I eat 1,500 calories a day
• I eat 50-100 grams of protein a day
• Switch from milk to soy milk (higher in protein, high in Omega-3)
• Reduced my red meat intake significantly and overall meat intake
• Switch from white sugar to Stevia and sometimes brown sugar
• No more soda!
• No more white breads
• No more deserts!

As far as exercising, I work out 5-6 days a week.

• I run or do the elliptical (or combination of both) at least 2 miles 5-6 days a week.
• I work out with weights for 30-60 minutes at least 3 times a week. I do at least 4 sets of 10 reps on each exercise. For most exercises, I increase the weight by 10 pounds per exercise per week.
• I use the Kettlebell a few times a week
• I do MMA training twice a week
• I do Yoga once a week

My MMA training and Yoga have suffered a bit since being activated though. I'm hoping to enter a NAGA grappling tournament this winter!

I'm not familiar with the diet book...

But guys should definitely not drink soy milk. You're getting way too much estogren in your diet (yes - soy has a ton of estrogen in it)
