Posts Tagged ‘p90x workout reviews’

If you’re at all familiar with fitness and muscle exercise techniques, then you know that there are two schools of thought. Those who advocate “full body training,” in which you work all areas of the body in every single workout, and those who advocate “split training”, in which you focus on different parts of the body on different days. Even if you’re not familiar with fitness and exercise muscle techniques, it’s useful to know that both options are out there and that, if you’re doing or considering doing P90X, you’ll be doing ninety days of split training workouts. There are advantages to both types of workouts, but since you’re considering P90X, we’ll explain the advantages of split training workouts. Read the rest of this entry »

So, summer is ending and you’re ready to start getting in shape for the fall. You’re evaluating all of your options. You know that you’re not the kind of person who can just rally on their own and workout without a system and some guidance. Therefore, you’re probably looking at three options: taking classes at a gym, getting a personal trainer, or doing an at-home workout plan. And if you’re looking at doing an at-home workout plan, you’re most likely looking at the most popular plan on the market right now, P90X with celebrity fitness trainer Tony Horton. We’ve already discussed the advantages of P90X over gym classes on the Finish Well Fitness Blog, so today we’ll run you through the advantages of P90X over a personal trainer!

It’s summer. The weather is fantastic (unless you’re currently caught in one of those dreaded heat waves). And if there’s one thing that makes a person healthier overall, it’s getting out from behind four walls and artificial light and recycled air-conditioned air and into the real sunshine and air. You may think that because you’re doing an at-home workout such as P90X that you’re committed to working out inside, but we don’t think that’s true. Here are some tips for taking P90X into the great outdoors! Read the rest of this entry »

In life, we often think that bigger is better only to later find out that, sometimes, it’s about quality not quantity. This is true with a lot of workout exercises as well. P90X is a perfectly structured workout that balances reps and workout times perfectly, and its follow up, P90X Plus, is as well. However, if you’ve completed P90X or are using it as a supplement to your existing workout, you may need the advice below! Sometimes, when working out, less is more! Here are two examples of how that’s true. Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever been, or do you know, one of those people who swears by a cardio only workout routine? A person who runs on the treadmill for hours (and we mean HOURS) or takes three different aerobics classes a day? Have you read any information that says that the way to burn fat is to do cardio? Well, there is some truth to that, particularly if you haven’t been active previous to starting your cardio program. Cardio work does raise your metabolic rate, which in turn burns fat. However, if you’re looking to really lose weight for the long term, cardio only workouts won’t do it for you. Here’s an explanation of why. Read the rest of this entry »

We all know “that person.” The person who goes to the gym and stays there for five hours and then tells you that you’re not working out hard enough because you haven’t rented out bunk space at the gym yet. Yet, when you look at that person, are they really in the best physical shape they can be? Maybe, and maybe they’re not, or they’re just really thin. The truth about workouts is that it’s about the quality of the workout, not the quantity of time that you spend working out. That’s what makes P90X such an effective tool for getting into ideal shape. The workouts are developed based on the idea of quality, not hours and hours of quantity. Read the rest of this entry »

We don’t want to depress you in the middle of your leisurely summer, but fall is just around the corner. And if fall is just around the corner and you’re in high school or college, then that means that it’s just four or five short months until homecoming. Why is that important? Because chances are that you want to look your best for your homecoming celebration or formal, and that leaves you more than enough time to transform your body into its best body ever before you put on the tux or formal dress. How do you do that? P90X is the answer. Read the rest of this entry »

As the fall approaches, there’s a segment of our population that we’re incredibly proud of: the segment who will be entering the military to serve our country prior to heading to college. Supporting the troops is an individual decision, but we at the Finish Well Fitness Blog applaud the men and women of our country who choose to serve it and take the risk. However, we’re also aware that with that military duty comes the dreaded (for many) PT, or physical training, component. What our soon-to-be soldiers may not know is that they can get a jump on PT by getting themselves into soldier-shape with P90X before they head off to basic training. P90X has four key elements that will help get the plebe ready for military training. Read the rest of this entry »

It may sound cliché, but when it comes to P90X, the classic phrase “No pain, no gain” holds true! If you’ve read and seen the many P90X reviews out there, then you’ve seen how average-bodied people transformed themselves into perfect-bodied people through the combination of the P90X workouts and P90X nutrition plan. However, P90X is also used by professional athletes like Barry Zito, Brett Favre and Kelly Slater. From the average-Joe who turned himself into the amazing-body-Joe with P90X all the way to the pro athlete who improved his on-field performance with the same workouts, they all had one thing in common: They all were willing to deal with some pain.

Ever been doing a workout and heard the instructor say “Now let’s get anaerobic to really max our muscles?” Or have you ever been doing a workout like P90X and realized that you were at the cardio or aerobic workout but not quite known what that was other than that it was “fun” and “fast” and that the word made you think of an Olivia Newton John video from the eighties (and if it didn’t, we’re jealous of how young you are!). Words like anaerobic and aerobic get thrown around in the world of fitness all the time, but if you’re a fitness newbie you may not know what those terms mean. Don’t feel embarrassed! We once didn’t know what they meant either, but we’re here now to explain them to you! Read the rest of this entry »
