I'm wrapping up my week12 routine this week! the following week is recovery. I haven't exactly been too faithful to the full program, though. i mean, i've done EVERY workout routine weekly without skipping (legs, back, arms, etc..), but haven't done the cardio sections... but only because i like to go out for 30 minute runs better ( i do so twice a week in addition to the program - but been slacking on abs). so, i do the body parts routine, but not the kenpo, or stretch or yoga (though i promised myself that i would start incorporating it on the next program (probably my own mix of P90X)). each workout is 1 hour long, including the warm up and cool down... so it's not exactly completely crazy as i've heard from other sites/comments. it's intensity is that it's sort of done circuit-like... so you get some calorie burn. i would say that to maintain a certain healthy level, you could easily cut each workout in half and do 30 minutes. i think this program is not as extreme as it claims to be. it's hard, no doubt about it, but it's not some crazy navy seal workout, either - where you're climbing ropes and dragging 150lb manequins.. so don't be scared of it. it's fun, trust me... and you'll get some nice results... i can assure you of that. the nice thing i found is that you don't get bored doing 4 or 5 exercises, 4 sets of each. it's all different exercises through 24 sets. i found it's fun. like any other workout, keep it up and don't give up, because that's what gets results... dedication - at least in my eyes. what i discovered is that the most important part of getting results (probably not just with p90x) is the nutrition. also, don't get discouraged during your first couple of months, the transformation that occurs in the last 3 weeks are amazing.... not sure how that happens but it does. in your last month, you can really take control of how you're developing by adjusting the way you eat. nutrition is everything. hope this helps. i will probably post pictures somewhere online when i'm done next week. not ripped, but i look "fit" for sure. really fit.
i have not tried this routine in terms of buying this package... but having read through some of the promo stuff... looks to me like a solid cross training program.
as ive said before in threads like this, the more you confuse your body with a good workout, the better the response will be. your body doesnt want to have that six pack... darwin says a little extra weight is good for lean times... so you have to keep your body guessing.
my wife used to run for fitness. period. shed pound out the miles until she cranked it in. but it took so much work.
then she cut the running down by a third, added pilates and yoga, and then tae bo and weights. the results were great. honestly, she still doesnt have a six pack... but she has lines and definition that let her wear whatever she wants to wear. she is strong and powerful and confident. she is stronger, tighter, and more fit now at 35+ than ever before.
you MUST cross train to keep your body from adjusting to the routine.
so... i dont know this program intimately... but i do much of what it seems to promote.
of all the things youve asked about chi-momma, id say run with this one hard until the end and youll be pleased.
The thing about this is, though, that I just started a third job so finding the time for this is gonna be a bit challenging, although it does seem like a great program.
