In an effort to motivate you, here are the ways in which P90X is better than a video game! Read the rest of this entry »

As anybody who either plays or watches the sport of tennis knows, over the last decade the game has become increasingly athletic in nature. Being able to volley and strategically place the ball in the court is still as important as ever, but players like Nadal and the Williams sisters have made the power serve and the power baseline stroke (as well as the volley smash) critical elements of the game that require significant strength (not to mention agility). If you’re looking to improve your game and become a stronger, more powerful tennis player, P90X has benefits to tennis players that can result in significant improvements to your strength game.

If you’re doing P90X or just researching to decide if it’s the right workout program for you, then you’re aware that the program is not without its cardio components. And that’s a good thing, because any successful workout also has cardio involved in it in order to burn fat and calories. In the case of P90X, while you’ll always be doing some cardio in every workout, the bulk of the cardio comes from Cardio X, Kenpo X and the Plyometrics workout. How do you maximize the effects of the cardio portions of P90X? Here are some tips! Read the rest of this entry »

Not every guy is born with the body of Brad Pitt. In fact, most men have incredibly fast metabolisms that don’t begin to slow down until well into middle age, and gaining weight (and subsequently muscle mass) can be a challenge. Sure, every woman in America is jealous of that metabolism and the way that many men can spend a great deal of their life eating whatever they want and not gaining weight, but for most men the fast metabolism is like a curse and they just wish that they could put on some muscle mass! P90X is a great solution for the “skinny guy” who wants to bulk up because it comes with some unique features. Read the rest of this entry »

Previously on the Finish Well Fitness Blog, we talked about the idea of keeping a journal to document your P90X journey or, alternatively, photo documenting it. We can, however, understand why you may shy away from either of those ideas. After all, if you’re doing P90X or P90X Plus, you’re already devoting a huge amount of time to your P90X workout and P90X nutrition plans. The idea of doing something time consuming like a journal or photo-documentation may seem like just too much extra effort. If that’s the case, we recommend that you keep a workout log. It’s quick, and it accomplishes lots of the same goals. Read the rest of this entry »

P90X isn’t like any other workout program in that it’s the most extreme home fitness program ever and also that it combines elements of nutrition into its ninety-day plan. However, P90X is exactly like all other workout plans in that, if you don’t take the extra effort to protect them, you’ll potentially do damage to your joints. This is just the name of the game with any fitness program. You’re putting stress on your joints, and therefore you need to be aware of the risk of injury. However, before you use that as a reason to not begin P90X, remember that carrying around extra weight or having bad posture puts your joints at just as much risk, and P90X will eliminate you from both of those categories. Here are some tips for protecting your joints when you workout with P90X! Read the rest of this entry »

There are many things that you can do in order to make your P90X experience more productive and yield better results. One of the more surprising ones, however, would be to strengthen your hands. Throughout the P90X workouts, you’ll be doing lots of exercises that require you to keep a grip, from chin-ups to pull-ups. You’ll also be using the P90X resistance bands, and while the P90X resistance band handles can help you keep a firmer grip and make exercising more fluid and with better results, strength in your hands is ultimately the best thing for an overall effective workout. Here are some tips on making your hands and your grip stronger. Read the rest of this entry »

Golf is one of America’s most beloved sports, both on a spectator and participant level. Even before America’s now most infamous golfer made the sport into the media darling event that it is today, golfers like Phil Mickelson and Jack Nicklaus made casual golfers everywhere envious of their perfect swings and seemingly endless power and precision.

As you’re undertaking your P90X challenge, you’re probably just as wrapped up in P90X Nutrition as you are in the workouts. After all, both halves of the extreme home fitness solution are equally challenging. You can’t have your best body ever without the intense twelve-week, six-day a week “on” workout schedule of P90X. However, you also can’t maximize those workouts or lose weight effectively if you don’t change your diet habits. One of the common questions we hear regarding a healthier diet is the question of replacing fattier meat products with soy products. There are both pros and cons to this. Read the rest of this entry »
