P90X: The Six-Pack Challenge

It’s been a month since I’ve watched any of the P90X videos. The main reason is because I’ve upgrade to heavier weights and I only have 29lb dumbells at home.  All of my workouts are done at the gym. But now, I’ve started a workout bet with my friend Del. The goal is to get [...]

P90X: Everlast Chin-up bar…update

For those who have been reading my posts on P90X would know that I’ve been using the Everlast Chinning Bar that I purchased at Big 5 instead of the recommended Chin-up bar for the P90X program (basically to save money). I noticed that a lot of people have been checking out my first review on [...]

Fitness Matchup: P90X vs 24hr Fitness (with 3rd month picture)

Here are the the pictures after the third month:

The reason why I don’t consider this as a phase 3 picture is because I stopped watching the P90X videos for the passed month and instead just consistently worked out at 24 Hour Fitness.  I wanted to see if I can improve just by hitting the gym. [...]

P90X: phase 2 review…

…w/ before and after pics. Not much change but I promised a few people that I’d post it.

so P90X phase two is like taking a midterm exam. If you didn’t learn the first month of lecture then you’re pretty much screwed. If you decide to go into P90X phase 2 without fully committing [...]

P90x – Week 3 review: It’s just the beginning

The last couple of weeks I’ve been finding it difficult to make time for the workouts.  I’m still able to workout at least 3 times a week but on p90x I should be doing 6 days a week (7 if I do the stretch x).  This is about 1-2 hours each day which I should [...]

P90x – Week 2 review

I would like start this blog with a quote from one of my favorite movie characters, Rocky Balboa:
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very [...]

P90X WEEK 1 review

Intense is the word of the week. I battled the ‘X’ and was left bruised. This week has been a reality check for me. I saw how out of shape I am but at the same time learned the potential I have in me.  It’s funny how adding a little structure can totally change the [...]

P90x: Day 7 – Kenpo X…but…

…I was only able to do the first half of the workout. I was out of town and didn’t get home until 11:30pm. I know, I know another excuse but at least I was able to do part of it.
Kenpo X is more of a cardio workout but with a lot of punching and kicking.  [...]

P90X: Day 6 – Rest…cuz my body is sore as hell

I know, I know. Yesterday was supposed to be Kenpo X. However, I have the following reasons why I couldn’t do it yesterday:
1. Yes, my body is sore from all the “X” pounding from this week. And no, I do not have the P90X recovery drink.
2. I did not get much sleep from the night [...]

P90X: Day 5 – Legs and Back, quality over quantity

The leg workouts weren’t as crazy as I thought it was. I mean, it was still intense, but I expected my legs to hang for only half of the workout. I thought the wall squats were the most difficult part. You have to squat next to the wall with your legs on a 90 degree [...]
