			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The biggest question that everyone asks me is the one above.  Is <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90X</span> </a></span>worth it?  Lets break this down a little bit and figure out if a $200 or less investment is worth it.  It&#8217;s always about cost and results, so lets keep it simple.  <a href="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2219.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1094" title="IMG_2219" src="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2219-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>When you see a workout program on television you automatically think it&#8217;s a gimmick!  I tried all kinds of gimmicky things like the Ab Roller, the Total Gym, and so on.  Is P90X a gimmick? NO.  It has been around for ten plus years and worked on me and several million others.  P90X belongs to a family owned company called Beachbody.  They carry a fine line of products like Chalean Extreme, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/insanity-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Insanity</span></a></span>, <a href="http://phattyfit.com/revabs-dvd-set" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">RevAbs</span></a>, etc.   The issue is will you commit to 90 days with one of the best trainers in the business?  See you can do any exercise program and it will work or they wouldn&#8217;t sell it.  So if your looking for proof, look no further my <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-results-after-90-days" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">results</span> </a>were amazing!  So now that you have seen proof lets get back to the P90X program.</p>
<p>Everyone program guarantee&#8217;s results but not this quickly, effective  and not this drastic.  My answer to the question above is <strong>YES</strong>, its worth it.  Why? Proven results in millions of people including myself and a proven method.  So let&#8217;s break this program down and show you the true value.</p>
<p>You can compare this program to any other one out there but if you want fast results then pick P90X or another Beachbody program.</p>
<p>For under $200 you will get the best trainer right in the comfort of you&#8217;re home.  No driving to the gym, workout <a href="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2251.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1140" title="IMG_2251" src="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2251-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>on you&#8217;re schedule, workout as little as 1 hour /day.  Let me tell you that the program is not the easiest thing you will ever do and most likely the it will be the hardest thing you will ever do.  This program is for the person that wants to make an extreme change.  I always laugh when I tell people they should be in &#8221;decent shape&#8221; for P90X because even if your in the best shape of you&#8217;re life you will struggle when you start this program.  The biggest reason why is because it is based around muscle confusion.  You will work muscles that you never even heard of.  You will have to push through the pain everyday, <strong>6 days a week for 90 days</strong>!  Doing workouts like <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Kenpo</span></a></span>, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/yoga-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Yoga</span></a></span><span style="color: #0000ff;"> </span>and <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-plyometrics" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Plyometrics</span></a></span> that will target every part of you&#8217;re body.  Every four weeks Tony Horton will work your body like no one else and as soon as you think its getting easy he switches it on you.  Every  4 weeks is different and another reason why P90X is worth it.  It is a 3 phase program and the breaking point is you&#8217;re first 30 days.  For 30 days you will not see any results and neither will anyone else.  Did you put that extra 30 plus pounds on in 30 days or 3 years?  Exactly!  So be patient and follow the program.  Im convinced I want to buy <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/P90X?referringRepId=29886 - P90X" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90X</span></a></span>!</p>
<p><strong>If you were handed a blue print to becoming rich in 3 years and that blue print 100% guaranteed that you would be rich, wouldn&#8217;t you follow it?</strong></p>
<p>The same goes for P90X or any other Beachbody program.  Follow and you will succeed guaranteed!  Is P90X worth it to someone that is going to buy it and start it in a few weeks.  NO! Keep making excuses people all those fatty foods will be in you&#8217;re face everywhere you go.  Keep telling yourself this, that in 90 days I could be in the best shape EVER!  Is P90X worth it? <strong>YES</strong>.  If you&#8217;re convinced then lets talk about you&#8217;re investment.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s worth it so you&#8217;re options are to invest with a <strong>trusted beachbody <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/coach-q-and-a" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">coach</span> </a></span>like myself</strong>.  I&#8217;m not going anywhere and have been doing this for almost 2 years.  We are in this together and as soon as you purchase you will have me at you&#8217;re fingertips for any questions.  So now I would like you to click on one of the options below and get ready for a lifetime opportunity.  Good Luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its time to explain day 3 of the Insanity workout program and it continues to live up to its name.  If you&#8217;re wondering the picture you see to the right is me sweating my butt off at a workout with Shaun T himself.  Before you start make <a href="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2262.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1138" title="IMG_2262" src="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2262-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>sure you have the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-recovery-drink" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">recovery drink</span></a></span> in hand as it helps give you energy throughout the whole workout.  So on average the first month of workouts consist of around 40 minutes and Cardio Power is just short of that at 39 min and 18 seconds.  In that time period I think I counted seven 30 second breaks.  I am starting to notice that the warm up is pretty similar to the rest of the first set of DVDs.  The warm up consists of Jogging, Power Jacks, Log Jumps, Heisman 123, Butt Kicks, High Knees, and Vertical Jumps.  If you would like a better explanation of any of the above check out my <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/insanity-plyometric-cardio-circuit" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Plyometric Cardio Circuit post</span></a></span>.  These moves are 30 seconds each and are repeated in 3 rounds.  Oh and no breaks in between but if you have done <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Kenpo X</span></a></span> then you have had some practice.</p>
<p>15 Second Break!</p>
<p>After your long break Shaun T starts out his stretching routine which I personally love.  Not because of the long 6 min and 40 second break but because when doing Insanity you need a good leg stretch.  The warm up reminds me of <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/yoga-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Yoga X</span></a></span> because of similarities in moves.  If you are going to do this workout I suggest you go hard for the 10 minutes of warm ups because of the long stretch right after.  Plenty of time to recoup and get your air back. If you really want to know how hard your heart is pumping or at what level you are at then look into a heart rate monitor.  I suggest this Timex monitor as I got it for my 31st birthday, it works really well and it is priced reasonable.<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GBUP0I?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=phattyfit-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000GBUP0I"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Timex Ironman T5F001 Unisex 100-Lap Target Trainer Heart Rate Monitor Watch</span></a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=phattyfit-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B000GBUP0I" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>So at this point the real fun begins with a similar set up as the warm up but with different exercises.  After doing the workouts for a month it seems a little repetitive but very effective and that&#8217;s the point.  So the 3 rounds consist of Power Jumps, Belt Kicks, Hit the Floor&#8217;s, and V-push ups.  The most difficult is the Power Jump because it&#8217;s pretty much a jumping squat for 30 seconds straight.  I still can&#8217;t finish without a 2 second break.  You fortunately get 30 second breaks in between but the last round Shaun T decides to add Tricep Dips and Leg Dips.  I can&#8217;t finish either one and I am in great shape.  Get ready for water because your 30 seconds is counting and Tricep Ball Push Ups are next.  They are kind of hard to explain but its a push up but your in a ball.  Maybe it would be a good time to <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/Insanity?referringRepId=29886 " target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">purchase Insanity</span></a></span> and we can do this together.  The opportunity to lose some serious weight in 60 days is amazing and if you want to get rid of any waist line then no time is better.  With a combination of Insanity and <a href="http://phattyfit.com/shakeology" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Shakeology</span></a> you are guaranteed to lose 20 plus pounds in 60 days. </p>
<p><strong>If you act now you can get <span style="color: #ff0000;">free shipping</span> on the <a href="http://teambeachbody.com/shop/-/shopping/MDSUSH311G?referringRepId=29886 " target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">shakeology</span></a> meal replacement!</strong> </p>
<p><a href="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2264.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1131" title="IMG_2264" src="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2264-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The last set of exercises consist of Hurdle Jumps, Globe Jumps, Moving push ups, and Floor sprints. I thought I would lose all my muscle I gained from <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90x</span></a></span> but there are a lot of moves that build and tone every part of your body.  If you are a runner then you need Insanity!  The endurance and strength you get is amazing.  I just got back from a cool resort in <a href="http://www.sandoshotels.com/en/playa-del-carmen-hotel-sandos-playacar-beach-spa-resort.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Mexico</span></a>and didn&#8217;t bring my DVDs with me and decided to run in 90 degree weather and holy crap I actually didn&#8217;t struggle.  I ran 4 miles every other day with ease and I hate running long distance.  After your 3 rounds Shaun T gives you a 30 second break and as you think FINALLY I&#8217;m done!  NO WAY!  There is one minute on the clock for what he calls 8 hop squats/8 push ups.  I literally am dripping sweat at this point and can barely breath but remember those push ups will keep your upper body tight.  With 3 minutes left of stretching, I just fall to the ground, lay down and thank myself for sticking with it.  The opportunity is in you&#8217;re hands and if you have read this far then I think it&#8217;s time that you try it, so click on the link below and give me 60 days!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2264.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1131" title="IMG_2264" src="http://phattyfit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_2264-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>This is pretty much the first DVD in the set and boy was I surprised how hard a 42 minute long workout was.  The <a href="http://phattyfit.com/insanity-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Insanity</span></a> workout begins with a warm up that  consists of 3 minute intervals.  These intervals are supposed to get your heart pumping and in the first 3 minutes I was pumping.  You warm up for 9 total minutes and each round consists of  jogging in place, Jumping Jacks, Heisman&#8217;s, Heisman 123, Butt Kicks, High Knees and Mummy Kicks.  You can easily understand a few but a Heisman 123 is going back and forth and then going into a quick Heisman pose.  Mummy kicks are kind of a joke but still decent cardio.  Start with arms straight out and as you shuffle your feet you have to cross your hands at the same time.  After all is done you get a quick 30 second break and holy crap that was just the warm up. </p>
<p>So honestly before I go any further Insanity is not a joke people it&#8217;s the real deal.  I thought <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90X </span></a>was challenging but Insanity is challenging because there is a lot of non stop cardio involved.  So after the 30 second break the stretching begins and for 7 minutes it is a much needed break.  While stretching it&#8217;s good to have a towel because your constantly dripping sweat! Kind of gross!  The stretching seems to be the same in the first set of workouts and reminds me of <a href="http://phattyfit.com/yoga-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Yoga X</span></a> from the P90X workouts.  You are now almost half way through and as the stretching seems a little tedious I enjoy it as it is somewhat relaxing.  Shaun T gives a quick 30 second and then its time once again to go into the interval training part of the Insanity workout.  Get ready for another 23 minutes of crazy cardio!</p>
<p>A pretty typical Insanity workout consists of a two part interval training and in the second half you start your 2 minutes of Suicide Drills, Power Squats, Mountain Climbers and Ski Jumps.  I think we have all done a suicide drill and high school or college may bring some of those memories back.  That&#8217;s why you&#8217;re here right?  To get back into that college or high school shape.  I would say out of these drills the least effective for me was the ski jumps but if you focus more on the core it will be more effective.  My favorite is the Insanity power squat because it keeps my butt in check with my pant size.  It sounds like something a chick would say but after losing <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-results-after-90-days" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">28 pounds </span></a>I don&#8217;t want to give it back.  When you start to think you&#8217;re last interval is done he surprises you with another minute of switch feet and football sprints.  I have this cool new phone called the &#8220;Incredible&#8221; and it is so easy to take video and download it so I have a short video below of this exact interval.   </p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W9ihatH37gU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W9ihatH37gU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<p>So remember that you do 3 rounds of the intervals above with a 30 second break only at the end of the 7 minutes.  So by now I guarantee you&#8217;re hurting and probably already pushed the pause button once.  The first few times through this workout I couldn&#8217;t finish and  as I am writing this I can now say I can finish it.  I am in my recovery week which is week 5 and only 4 more weeks to go baby!</p>
<p>I hope you took advantage of your 30 second break cause this next round is so hard that the people in the video are screaming in pain and stopping.  Please don&#8217;t let this scare you as you will overcome this issue. The last 9 minutes are going to be brutal so just try and keep your own pace. </p>
<p>The last intervals consist of Basketball jumps, level 1 drills(4 push ups, then run it out for 8 seconds), Ski Abs and In and outs.  Why is this so damn hard?  Well try the level 1 drills for 30 seconds.  Start in the standing position then jump down for 4 push ups and then in that stance run for 8 seconds.  Oh wait then there is ski abs which is kicking you&#8217;re legs in the cradle position from left, center, right.  At this point your arms are in so much pain that you begin to do knee push ups.  Should I even explain In and Outs?  Well stay in the push up position and get ready to kick your legs out then in crunching your abs.  I know it sounds as painful as it looks in the video above.  The funny thing is I didn&#8217;t tape myself in this round because I still struggle.  If you can still breathe at this point congrats your almost done so take a quick 30 second water break and get ready for  jabs, cross jacks ,upper cuts and open hand jabs.  The extra round reminds me of <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">kenpo X</span></a> so if you have done that workout then you know whats coming.  I believe there is 3 minutes of stretching but I haven&#8217;t had the energy to do it yet.  At this point you&#8217;re feeling like a rock star but extremely exhausted.  Remember to drink your <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-recovery-drink" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">recovery drink</span></a> and use your <a href="http://phattyfit.com/shakeology" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">shakeology</span></a> to get all the goods in you.  Good luck and if you have made it this far then click below and buy it today.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This workout once again is a quick 40 minute workout and reminds me of <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank">Kenpo X</a></span>.    You have 4 exercises in the video that get repeated in three challenging rounds.  Each round will get more challenging until the final round called the Spice round.    The warm up is usually the same as the other <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/revabs-dvd-set" target="_blank">RevAbs</a></span> video and lasts just over 3 minutes.</p>
<p>The four moves that you do are:</p>
<p>Martelo Combo, Capoiera Combo, Jumping Jacks, and Punch Combo</p>
<p><strong>Martelo Combo</strong> in the first round is 3 minutes and like I said it reminds me of Kenpo X.  In this exercise your moving side to side doing knee ups, side kicks and booty bridges.  I like it because it tests your ability to be flexible around the groin area.</p>
<p><strong>Capoiera Combo</strong> is next and confused the heck out of me for a while but it mainly consists of step backs, booty time, Skiba, and jumping jacks.  Its like five fast paced moves in 1 minute.  Fun but confusing, kind of like <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-ab-ripper-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Ab Ripper X</span></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Jumping Jacks </strong>are next and I know what your thinking.  Big deal!  Well you do a quick 30 of them in 30seconds and that&#8217;s your break before the next exercise.</p>
<p><strong>Punch combo</strong> is next and is a cardio punching exercise.  You throw single punches of jabs and full stroke punches.  As you get into the other rounds you start to throw combo punches.</p>
<p>You finally get a 30 second break here and is a good time to have your <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-recovery-drink" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">recovery</span> </a>drink in hand.</p>
<p>In round 2 your repeating the workouts but your doing everything in two&#8217;s instead of just singles.    So because of that your time with each RevAbs exercise is doubled.  Instead of doing <strong>Martelo Combo</strong> for 3 minutes your now doing it straight for 6 minutes.  For a while I thought it was a little redundant but man I was sweating like hell!  So basically in round 2 your time doubles for all exercises.</p>
<p>Round 3 is even worse because now time has tripled and 9 minutes straight of <strong>Martelo Combo</strong> is a killer!  You want to tighten up your love handles and your rear end then keep up with this one.  Its still not my favorite RevAbs workout because it is a little repetitive but who cares I&#8217;m burning fat.  You end with a 3 minute cool down and your done.   I have always eaten a <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-healthy-meals" target="_blank">healthy</a></span> snack or good meal afterwords just to put a little fuel back into my body so make sure you do the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a the most fun I have had in a workout since<a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #0000ff;">Kenpo X</span></a> but that&#8217;s only if you like jumping.  The video consists of almost 1 hour of non stop cardio jumping.   A lot of people always ask me if you can get hurt doing <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90x</span></a></span> and I say no unless you don&#8217;t stretch properly.  You can get hurt doing anything but I guess this would be the workout out of all the DvD&#8217;s.  In this workout you will need nothing besides a lot more room than usually needed and 8 ft ceilings.  No weights, no bands, no pull up bar!  I always loved this workout because I play soccer and man does it get your legs ready for running.  After about a 6 minutes stretch your flight begins and doesn&#8217;t stop for 45 minutes straight.</p>
<p>Consisting of more than 30 explosive, high-intensity jumping moves, this effective cardio routine has been proven to dramatically improve athletic performance.  Also known as the “jump training” workout, the P90X Plyometrics routine will push you to your limits and beyond.<br />
<a href="http://www.http://phattyfit.com/coach-q-and-a"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.beachbody.com/downloads/downloads_p90x/300x250_JPEGS/banner_4.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p>Tony starts you off slow by doing several squats and several combination&#8217;s of squats.  The fun begins when you start twisting and turning and jumping as high as possible.  Did I mention one the guys working out in the video has a prosthetic leg!</p>
<p><strong>Exercises during this workout include:</strong> <span style="font-style: italic;">Jump Squats, Run-stance Squats, Airborne Heisman, Swing Kick, Squat Reach Jump, Run-stance Squat Switch Pick-up, Double Airborne Heisman, Circle Run, Jump Knee Tucks, Mary Katherine Lunges, Leapfrog Squats, Twist Combo, Rock Star Hop, Gap Jump, Squat Jacks, Military March, Run Squat 180 Jump Switch, Lateral Leapfrog Squats, Monster Truck Tires, Hot Foot, Pitch &amp; Catch, Jump Shot, Football Hero<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>Unless you are already used to high intensity cardiovascular training, the P90X Plyometrics program is going to be an <strong>extreme </strong>challenge for you the first few times you go through it.  Even if you regularly do other types of cardiovascular training, this workout is very intense, and very challenging.</p>
<p>Once you start to get used to it, and build up your strength and endurance, you can still easily crank the intensity right back up by jumping higher or farther, and/or by speeding up the repetitions of the exercises.</p>
<p>Don’t kill yourself the first time out when you do this workout, but DO give it everything that you’ve got on an on-going basis. This one workout alone will probably burn more calories and do more for your cardiovascular fitness than any other workout that most people have ever been exposed to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Total Strength is a quick workout that entails more of an upper body workout.  In the first phase Brett Hoebel focuses on core strengths and cutting the fat.  In this first phase workout he does 6 different workouts in 3 rounds with each round becoming a little more challenging than the previous.   </p>
<p><strong>Dumbbell Lunge </strong>is first and its a forward lunge as you rest the weights above your chest .  I usually use 20 pound weights and it&#8217;s plenty for me as I start to feel the burn after like 8.  I play soccer at least once a week and these lunges definitely help me run faster and keep up with the young-ins. </p>
<p><strong>Push Ups</strong> are next and I will not explain how to do a push up but tell you that the goal is to do 16 in 30 seconds which for me I set my goal at 20.  I know it may seem like it&#8217;s not many but remember that you need to pace yourself as your doing 3 rounds of the same moves. </p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Front Squats</span> </strong></span>are next and they used to be really tough for me but are now getting easier.  I never thought I would say this but it tones my butt and keeps me in my size 32 jeans.  So a front squat if you don&#8217;t know already is pretty much like your sitting down in a chair without the chair.  I still use 20 pound weights and rest them on my chest as I go down and then back up doing this 16 times.  Yes you will be sore no matter how many of these you have done in the past!  I couldnt even walk up my stairs without complaining. </p>
<p><strong>Bent Over Row</strong>is most likely the one that is my least favorite because I don&#8217;t really feel much.  The reason why is because after doing <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90X</span> </a></span>my back and traps are pretty strong so I feel the tightness but never do I get sore.  Bent Over is self explanatory as your bending over and lifting your weights as high up as possible for a one count.  I think what really made me strong in the P90x program was the <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-chest-and-back" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">chest and back exercise</span>   </a>.  If your not used to doing a ton of pull ups then this one will get you ready!</p>
<p><strong>Booty Bridge</strong> is a great way to get your Abs in check as well as your butt.  Brett has you lay on your back with a lighter weight above your head.  Keep your feet flat on the ground and lift your butt in the air and your ready for Booty bridge.  Each rep consists of moving the weight to your feet.   Just picture your arms and leg opening and closing of course rotating each leg.  The higher you get with your arms the more you feel it in the lower abdominal area. </p>
<p><strong>Punch Combo</strong> is the last exercise of the first round and reminds me a little of <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Kenpo X</span></a> from the P90x Program.  Your pretty much doing straight punches using a combo of Jabs and full length punch.  Brett has you focus not only on your arms but more importantly on your Abs.   You start out with your right side and then do a quick fast set and then switch to your left side.  Its a great combo but a little confusing at first.  The interesting thing about this workout and the RevAbs program is that you never really feel like your working out your Abs but I can see a huge difference in my stomach. </p>
<p>Round 1 is the easiest round and as you proceed through the 4o min workout the moves get intensified as Brett adds a little twist to each workout.  As you proceed to round 3 or as Brett calls it the &#8220;Spice round&#8221; he really steps it up and makes sure you hurt.  A good hurt of course!  Its really what I love about this program is that your doing the same moves but adding a little extra touch to make it more challenging. </p>
<p>Lately I have steered away from the recovery drink because we purchased a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018QOG6O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=phattyfit-20&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=B0018QOG6O" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Vitamix</span></a> and have been getting really creative with healthy after workout smoothies. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018QOG6O?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=phattyfit-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0018QOG6O"></a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=phattyfit-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0018QOG6O" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />I add all sorts of fruits, vegetable&#8217;s and protein to make a really good tasting smoothie.  Its really a good substitute for putting a ton of vitamins in your body all at once. I just started a page on healthy meals so if you would like some ideas click <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-healthy-meals" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">here</span></a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>9-28</p>
<p>Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X</p>
<p>Not a bad day as right now I have some time off of work and workout during my daughters first nap.  Chest and back is stellar what else do I need to say.  I have 2 more weeks and I&#8217;m done with <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">P90x</span></a> for the second time through.  Still my favorite one.</p>
<p>9-29</p>
<p>Plyometrics</p>
<p>Jumping and more jumping.  Today I wasn&#8217;t really in the mod to do rock star hops for some reason.  I skipped the warm up because now with two kids its a little more challenging to work out.  All in all I was excited to finish without interruption.  I am always super pumped when finished with this one.  Recovery, recovery, <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-program/p90x-recovery-drink" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Recovery drink</span></a>!</p>
<p>9-30</p>
<p><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-chest-shoulders-and-triceps" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Chest, Shoulders, Triceps</span></a> + Ab Ripper X</p>
<p>After doing this now for the second time trough I have upped my weights by double the amount.  Ab ripper is usually a little more difficult for me just because I&#8217;m so exhausted after this exercise.  I would recommend a protein shake or bar within one hour after completed.</p>
<p>Oct 1</p>
<p>Yoga X</p>
<p>I crushed yoga today for some reason and woke up feeling refreshed.  I always do yoga x at night just because I have troubles sleeping at night.  Flexibility and core workout to the fullest!</p>
<p>Oct 2</p>
<p><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-legs-and-back" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Legs and Back</span></a> + Ab Ripper X</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to be starting up soccer again indoors at the end of the month and man does this workout train you for sports.  My calves and quads are stronger than ever.  I usually wait to do ab ripper at least 10 minutes because your using your abs when working out your legs and its a double workout.  Lots of pain =lots of good <a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-results-after-90-days" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">results</span></a>.</p>
<p>Oct 3</p>
<p><a href="http://phattyfit.com/p90x-kenpo-x" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Kenpo X</span></a></p>
<p>What can I say!  It&#8217;s every coaches favorite workout or at least that&#8217;s what I here.  Kick, punch and block your way out of frustration.  I always feel like I don&#8217;t get a good workout but wake up sore every time.  I had my wife join me for this one and she really enjoyed it.  She is starting P90x next week.  I forgot to tell her that this is the easiest workout in the whole set.  Oh well! Fam coming from Italy Today.</p>
<p>Oct 4</p>
<p>Rest Day</p>
<p>No working out today and doing lots of hanging out with my cousins from Italy and watching football.  Da Colts!  I&#8217;m going to attempt to write my best man speech today since my brothers wedding is next weekend.  Wish me luck.  Don&#8217;t forget to sign up for a <a href="https://teambeachbody.com/signup/-/signup/free?referringRepId=29886" target="_blank">free account</a>.</p>
