It is Great to that the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler uses and believes in his company’s products. Carl used P90x and had great results. It would be pretty bad to see a CEO of a fitness company who was fat and out of shape.

This is what Carl had to say, “As the CEO of Beachbody, the maker of P90X, I can tell you from my own experience that it’s possible to completely transform your body in just 90 days. Now at the age of 41, it’s no exaggeration to say that I look and feel 20 years younger and I’m fitter than I’ve ever been. Even my mother wondered whose body my head was stuck on after looking at these pictures.”

“P90X is the time machine that brought on this transformation, and without a doubt, it’s the most amazing in-home boot camp Beachbody has ever created. With 12 (yes, 12!) extreme routines, P90X is fitness taken to a completely new level. With celebrity trainer Tony Horton as my guide, I lost my love handles, chiseled out an 8-pack, and in general, got ripped all over—and I did it in just 90 days.

The one piece of wisdom I’ve learned in my 41 years (and I’ve only just learned this), is that it’s never too late to hit your peak. Let P90X and Beachbody help you hit yours.”

First celebrities, the professional athletes, now cartoon characters! P90x is really becoming a household name. I’ve been informed that Homer Simpson has completed his first round of P90x and has had great success.

Homer's P90x Results

Below is Homer’s P90x transformation video. It really changed his life, a truly inspiring story.

I am into the second recovery week of P90x. My days are are screwed up though because I extended the phase between weeks 5-7. So I did an extra week worth of workouts before the second recovery week. I added this extra week because I screwed up my schedule. I somehow looked at the P90x lean schedule and was going off that for 2 weeks. I somehow only ended up 4 days behind schedule even with adding an extra week.

So the past 4 days were the start of the second recovery week. Although it is a recovery week, it is still pretty tough, yoga 2 times this week, ouch. Day 53 was yoga x. Yoga is still very hard for me but for some reason I like this workout, it’s challenging and different.

Day 54 of P90x was core synergistics. Core Synergistics is a total body workout that focuses on strengthening the lumbar spine and trunk muscles. It is made up up a wide variety of all different kinds of moves and exercises.

Day 55 of P90x was Kenpo X. I skipped this workout and substituted it with my Muay Thai kickboxing class. These classes can be very exhausting and is probably harder than the Kenpo workout, so I don’t feel guilty for skipping the Kenpo X workout.

Day 56 of my P90x workout was the stretching routine. This is just a relaxing hour of stretching out the entire body. I feel great after this workout is over.

This kid had some pretty good results with P90x. Check out his before and after pictures in his video below. Great job man!

Today was day 50 of my P90x workout. The workout for today was back and biceps followed by ab ripper x. The back and biceps workout kills the biceps. There are tons of curls and pull ups in this workout. There are several different variations of pulls ups that are done in this workout and one of the toughest ones is the towel pull up. To do this move, you throw a towel over the pull up bar so it is folded in half and hangs down. Then you grab the towel with one hand and the pull up bar with the other hand and do pull ups. You do 3 pull ups, then switch the towel to the other hand and do three on that side and keep going until you can’t go anymore, these are some tough pull ups.

After the back and biceps workout was ab ripper x. I can feel the results of ab ripper x. My stomach muscles feel harder and stronger. This is a tough workout but it gets a little easier each time I do it. there are a few small variations you can do to make the move a little easier or harder depending on where you are at in your fitness level.

The video below is of me doing 100 pull ups. Is it real or fake?

Plyometrics Is The Cure For Chicken Legs

Today was day 49 of my P90x workout and the workout for today was Plyometrics. Tony Horton, the creator of P90x call this “the mother” of all P90x workouts. It is definitely a tough workout but I am much better at it now than I was the first few times I did it. The first couple of weeks I did plyometrics I had to pause the DVD several times to catch my breath. Now I’m able to keep up with the video. Plyometrics is more of a cardio routine, you’ll get your heart rate up and keep it the entire time. If I can remember correctly there are only 4, 30 second breaks the entire hour, well about 48 minutes if you don’t include the 10 minute warm up. At the end of the plyometrics workout, I am always pouring in sweat.

I Bet She Uses P90x Ab Ripper X

Yesterday was day 48 of my P90x workout. It was supposed to be the start of my recovery week but since I screwed up my P90x schedule on weeks 5 and 6 I decided to add another week to this phase before I do the recovery week. I screwed up weeks 5 and 6 by doing the lean P90x schedule instead of the classic schedule so I was missing the back and biceps workout those 2 weeks. It is probably not that big of a deal, like I said, I am going to try to make up for it by adding a week to this phase.

The workout for today was chest, shoulders, and triceps, followed by ab ripper x. I like this workout a lot. I can really feel it in my triceps. By the end of this workout I can barely do a push up and my arms feel like jello. I did the workout almost 24 hours ago and my arms still feel fatigued. The P90x chest, shoulders, and triceps workout is made up of a lot of push ups,  shoulder presses, and tricep extensions. There are 24 different exercises total in this workout and they hit the targeted muscles from every angle imaginable. The P90x chest, shoulders, and triceps DVD is a great workout.

After the chest, shoulders, and triceps workout was ab ripper x. I’ve gotten a lot better in the 7 weeks I’ve been doing ab ripper x. I remember the first time I did it I struggled through the entire workout and wasn’t even close to keeping up with the video and wasn’t doing all the reps they were doing. I’m pretty much there now, I’m able to keep up and complete all the reps. I think I wrote in my first post that my goal in the 90 days was to just be able to keep up with the ab ripper x video, I’m already there in only half the time.  :)

Yesterday and the day before were very busy for me so I’m just getting to my P90x review posts now. Day 45 of my P90x workout was legs and back, followed by ab ripper x. The P90x legs and back is a very tiring workout. It consists of various forms of lunges and pull ups. The lunge sets have very high reps which is what tires me out. I’m not sure if I like this workout that much. I’d rather stack a bunch of weights on a bar and do 3 sets of 8 reps of squats or deadlifts. But I guess the point of P90x is to change up the workout, confuse the muscles, and keep the body from plateauing.

Day 46 was supposed to be the Kenpo X workout. Kenpo is a cardio workout made up of punches and kicks. It is my least favorite workut and I usually substitute it with a session muay thai kick boxing or jiu-jitsu. I take both classes at a local gym near my house, www.WarriorWay.com. It is sometimes hard to find time do workout and get to a martial arts class, but I’ve been doing my best and am not going to the classes as much while I do P90x.

Today is 47 of P90x and it is the rest or stretch option day, I’m choosing to rest.

In a recent interview, Congressman Paul Ryan talks about how he stays in shape with P90x and leads workout sessions with his colleagues. The politician talks about the P90x workouts and why they are so effective. Paul even talked about how Tony Horton, the creator of P90x comes to Washington D.C. every couple months to train with them. Paul obviously wasn’t paid to mention P90x and speak so highly of it, he genuinely loves it because it produces results.  P90x is becoming more and more popular each day. If it isn’t already, P90x will definitely be a household name in a very short time.

Me Doing A Tough P90x Yoga Pose

Today is day 44 of my P90x workout. The workout for today was yoga x. I think I’ve hit a plateau with this workout. The very first time I did it I remember it being super hard. I got a little bit better each time I did it over the past few weeks but today seemed just as tough as it was a few weeks ago. This is a tough workout but I like it. I can tell that it is helping with my flexibility and is even improving my performance in my jiu-jitsu classes. I feel kind of funny about posting this picture of myself doing yoga on here, I know for sure my friends are going to make fun of me. Here I am doing one of the more difficult yoga poses of the P90x workout. In the picture you can see the Nintendo Wii box that I use as a Yoga block.
