anyone ever try p90x

Are you in shape?

what is it

I know someone who found it on limewire/torrent sites

Torrents

Ok, if you're already in good shape then it's a good set of workouts. You're not going to build any muscle, as it's more like an aerobic workout on steroids. 60 minutes straight, hardly any rest, light-ish weights. Combine with 6 days a week and yes, you it works well.

You can do the same shit at the gym, there's nothing revolutionary about it. If you do it though, you're working out 6 days a week for an hour to seventy five minutes. It also advises you to cut calories to about 1800, thus you're pretty beaten down from the intense workouts.

Torrent it and see if it's your cup of tea. Not mine. This is definitely not for fatasses though. Must already be in pretty good shape.

No, but what exactly do you do with them? Got any good info for using these exclusively for a workout?

There are ways to make it a complete work out which I havn't gotten too yet but it works your core as well as shoulders / legs/ and back.  Good for range of motion.

I actually did pretty much just kettle today as a "mini" workout but normally mix it up with some heavy bag and cardio.

I just swing the things around between the legs and get to eye level... 3 times with each hand and rotate, and some two handed.  It'll burn you and if you are in a hurry, ten minutes of that will do it.

 

Really Shrimp? Sounds like a good workout to shred fat. Since it's going to be like 150 in Vegas in a couple months, may need to look into this more

my brother did it. got him in some really good shape

Yeah, I think it is good at shredding fat.  Actually heard it is extremely good.

If anything, it also is good for varying the routine and also providing additional motion.  I get bored with same old exercises and change routines every six weeks anyway. 

The only people who use the kettlebells in my gym are the boxers and they are ripped.

 

I did it the full 90 days but I adjusted the workout program to my own version i guess.  And I took a little break during Christmas week where I only ran a couple times and obviously went a bit overboard on the eats.  It was Christmas for fuck sakes.  I followed the muscle building video schedule to a T.  Did not miss a single day.  In lieu of all the other videos such as yoga, the karate and whatever else is in there I'd run on a treadmill for between 6 and 6.75 miles 3 times a week.  I felt i got a much better cardio workout from running.  Although I did try the yoga one day with my fiance and it was hard as fuck.   So I was going hard 6 days a week anyways. 

With respect to the diet I didn't follow it exactly but I definitely made some adjustments.  I probably cut out 75% of the white breads I was eating mostly by switching my lunch from a big white bread sandwich to a whole wheat wrap.  I still drank moderately on the weekend and we always eat or or buy fast food on Fri/Sat (usually pizza or wings .... no Mcdonalds or Taco Bell kind of fast food.  The biggest adjustment I made with diet was portion sizes .... I now eat small dinners and mostly healthy dinners during the week and go to bed starving most nights .... rarely if ever eating after 7 PM.  If I'm still hungry after dinner I'll grab a handful of almonds. 

I started out about 230 and I got as low as 201 lbs.  I'm going through a busy season at work but I'm going to start another 90 days in a couple weeks.  I'm hanging in there in the 205 range but i'm just doing the running right now. 

If you are out of shape I can almost guarantee you're going to want to puke if you follow the workouts without pausing them.  Especially the leg/back workout which you do 10 out of 13 weeks.  You do something like 500 lunges in an hour mixing in chin ups in between. 

I have all the videos in xvid and written material in pdf but I don't know how I could share it.  I got it from a friend who got it off a member only torrent site.  Its about 9 gigs worth of stuff. 

I already skip rope and heavy bag/box 3-5 times a week. . .  Got any ideas on how to work out with them other than swinging them in between your legs or something?  I'd like to add them in to the routine. . .  Also have no idea where the hell I can get them

Lot of different exercises.  The main is the swinging and simple clean, presss but here are some more Kettlebell exercises LINK.  I think those boxers do the snatches.  Oh, they also do some floor work (basicallly get down, then get up, similar to a squat thrust except they do it quicker)

The Turkish Get Up and the One Leg Squat look torturous.

 

im about 8 weeks into p90x

i would see better results if my diet was better...lol

remember, its 80 % diet, 20% training.

just eat well and look up workout exercises online and u'll be fine

You gotta get ON THIS KETTLEBELL STUFF.  Just put it in a KB workout.  It's freaking the bomb.  You can hit any muscle you want with a MUCH larger range of movement...... lunges, squats, shrugs, presses, side bends, you name it.

The way that ball dangles from the handle or something forces your core muscles to get involved.  Just holding the darn thing up in the air is a workout.

Don't know where to get them but glanced online and they look kinda expensive.  They say if you are in shape to get the 53 pounder but that seems way too heavy.  I'm in shape and the 35 pounder is more than plenty.  They are in kilograms and confusing and I was using a 28 pounder last week and didn't know it.

This KB workout is the bomb.  Maybe hit the gym once a week for some leg sleds or something but these kettlebells can take care of just about anything.
