Is Yoga in P90X and P90X2 necessary?

I know there’s a lot of people out there who do P90X and skip the yoga workout, especially guys, because they don’t think it’s needed or that yoga is silly. P90X is a plan, a guide to get into great shape, and the yoga and stretch workouts are a very important and critical part of that plan. [...]

Are you doing too much cardio?

I was looking around on the Team Beachbody forums today and found a post that triggered this post. There was a guy wondering why he didn’t seem to be making as much strength gains as he would like from doing P90X but all other areas of his fitness were progressing greatly. Muscle endurance, flexibility, coordination, [...]

P90X vs P90X2

Some people are wondering what the differences are between P90X and P90X2 and if it is even needed. I’ll go through some of the differences here now and tell you what it’s all about, but first, here’s Tony to explain some of the differences himself. P90X focuses a lot on reducing body fat, increasing muscular endurance [...]

P90X Nutrition Plan

If you’ve recently started the P90X workout, or have been thinking about starting and are wondering if you should follow the included P90X nutrition plan, the answer is… maybe yes, maybe no. The main aspect of any nutrition plan is to just make sure that you are eating healthy food. If your knowledge about what [...]

P90X – Yoga

I know a lot of people who don’t like doing the yoga workout of P90X. In my opinion, and Tony Horton’s, who is the creator of the program, it’s one of the best in the series. Yoga is great for focusing on your weak spots, and by only doing strength routines, you are mainly contracting your [...]

Beachbody recent released an iPhone app for P90X, and a lot of people are pretty excited about it. Personally, I don’t have an iPhone, but for the people that do, you can now take the P90X workouts wherever you go. I have to say though, that this is NOT a replacement for the complete program. [...]

P90X – Restart

Well, after a really busy period of trying to finish anhydrousing out here on the farm before winter sets in, I’m ready to start P90X again. The stuff doesn’t flow very well when it gets cold and we’ve had a lot of rain up here in North Dakota the past few years so we are [...]

P90X – Plyometrics

Just finished up the P90X plyometrics workout… legs and lungs are on fire… This is a fun one as it gives you a break from doing all the pull-ups in the other workouts, just jumping around like a mad (wo)man. It’s hard as heck but you only do each move for 30 seconds and then [...]

P90X – Chest and Back

This is my 2nd week into P90X again and I did Chest and Back yesterday. It was a pretty good workout I thought. Tony says to pace yourself the first round, which is a good idea because you do a lot of pullups and can run out of steam because you do everything over again, [...]

Starting P90X again

Over the past few months I have been really busy, with harvest and spraying out at the farm, so I haven’t had a whole lot of time to workout. I probably could have, but for some reason I’m always tired after sitting in the tractor all day. I did have the time when I would [...]
