Tony Horton P90X Workout System

P90X is an Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program lead by Tony Horton and produced by Beach Body.
I have had this system for years.It has been sitting on my bookshelf collecting dusk.  Every time I scheduled myself to do the workouts, there were other workouts that I wanted to do more. But now, I have pulled them out for the September 2014 rotation.

There are three version of the system; base, deluxe and ultimate. I have the base systems and in this system comes twelve workouts.  Along with the twelve workouts which come package in a CD style accordion folder case, are a quick start guide, a fitness guide and a nutrition guide.
The Quick Start  Guide is mostly just an advertisement for the system and the various add on products you can used.
The Fitness Guide is a 100 page guide. It is very detail. In this guide, you can find information on the P90X concept, information on preparing for P90X (includes a Fit Test), a workout calendar that gives  you three different workout options and a detailed break down of each workout.
In fact, the workout breakdown is so detailed that you do not even need the DVDs. You can simply follow the guide as it includes warm up and stretching exercises as well.
The companion Nutrition Guide is just as detailed as the Fitness Guide. At 114 pages, the Nutrition Guide includes general nutrition guidelines, a progress assessment, nutrition for each phase of the program as well as recipes and a daily journal to record your food for each day of the program.

Oh, if you do the system as designed, P90X is a 90 day/13 Week Program.

The system includes a "Watch  This First" DVD that breaks down the details of the system. It talks about what you need to succeed and includes a section on Nutrition.  Also there are two Bonus workouts from the Power 90 System included on the DVD as well as a whole segment on Shakeology.

The Pro-Form 600 LT Treadmill - Thoughts

Image
The Pro-Form 600 LT Treadmill is HSN and Pro-Form 2011 model treadmill. Each year HSN brings out a new Pro-Form model to sale. On the HSN website the treadmill is called Pro-Form Step Up Personal Trainer Treadmill. The price of this treadmill is $699.95 and the Shipping & Handling is free. I have had this treadmill since May. Assembly is required. It took me and another about an hour, maybe a little less to put it together. The instructions are fairly detail and everything went together as it should. I had the 2007 model of this treadmill, but I like the advertised upgrades so much I decided to get this one. Pre-Program Work outs The 2011 model comes with 16 Pre-program workouts. Of the 16, 4 are distance, 5 are timed, and 7 are calorie burned workouts. The distance workouts are 1 mile, 5K, 10K, and 1/2 Marathon. The time workouts are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 45 min The calorie workouts that are broken down by time are 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 40 min, 45 min, and two 60 min

Tony Horton P90X Plyometrics - Thoughts

Image
Plyometrics .  This means you are jumping. This means high impact. Although there were some none or low-impact exercises. The workout is about 59 minutes. The warm is about 9 minute and 30 seconds. Like the other P90X workouts that I have done, Plyometrics uses rounds as well. There are two rounds in which you are doing 4 exercises. The exercise are performed for either 30 or 60 seconds. After each round you get a water break. At the end of the workout, there is a bonus round that includes three exercises that were sports specific. The workout concludes with a 5 minute stretch and cool down. I am including a worksheet of the exercises. This is my least favorite of the P90X workouts that I have done thus far. Plyometrics just felt long.  Although I did think the soundtrack was very good and I burned a lot of calories. Equipment - towel, heart rate monitor 3 stars

21 Day Fix Disc 1 - Review

Image
Disc 1 of the 21 Day Fix Workout System features the following workouts: Total Body Cardio Fix Upper Fix Lower Fix Pilates Fix 10 Minute Fix For Abs Overall, all workouts follow a similar pattern which is a series of rounds containing two exercises each and you repeat the round before moving on.You perform each exercise for roughly a minute and you get a 15 to 20 second rest between the exercises. Also, like most Beachbody systems, each workout contains the countdown timer in the lower right corner.  These workouts also contain subtitles that tell you which exercises you are doing and it tells you for how long and/or how many reps.  Love this feature. Total Body Cardio Fix , Upper Fix , and Lower Fix contain the same warm up moves and cool down moves.  Roughly the warm up and cool down runs around 3 minutes per workout.  Also all three of these workout use weights.  Pilates Fix is made up of a series of exercises as oppose to rounds.  Depending on the exercise you will
