Diets that ask you to completely cut out or severely limit food groups such as fruits and healthy carbs? I just got my P90X and find that the diet is not only unrealistic but also unhealthy. I do not believe in "diets" that ask you to practically live off supplemental drinks and only one serving...

I know exactly how you feel this weather is just making me want to crawl under the covers and nap. I also didn't work out Sunday or Thursday and super duper don't feel like working out today. Between school and studying I just don't have it in me right now. I am also waiting for P90X to arrive...

Thanks Pippa, My friend and I have already made a pact to measure and take before pictures because we are pretty sure no one else would really understand. Can you tell me how long yours took to ship, I think somewhere it said that it would be 4-5 business days. I got a little lost in the...

I just ordered P90X and I am sooo excited. I already have my wedding dress for my wedding in June of 08 and we bought it off the rack and it doesn't need any alterations at all. I will have to lose inches if I don't want to pass out because there is no room to grow in this dress! I am super...

I have read a lot of posts where people have really been turned off by this and I have to say while it threw me at first, if you are going truly heavy and I mean your max then the music WILL NOT matter. I say this because I was doing chest and back after HIS and was using 30 lb dumbells in each...

Innovative!! Because no other instructor has catered to her fans like Cathe and I think she took a really huge risk with the weight training sessions on this series, not staying with the beat and truly using heavy weights so that we can see and feel real results. I just did BootCamp...

I really have to say that I was perturbed about the lifting off the beat issue as well UNTIL I did the chest and back from HIS and I was using 30lb dumbells in each hand for the chest flys and 70 lb weighted BB for the upright rows (that was an accident me or my friend apparently can't add)...

I am really shocked that Cathe breathing hard would annoy and distract people. I found that when I was doing her new workouts that I felt much more connected to her than in previous workouts and the fact that she is breathing hard, well she is human and when she is working hard of course her...

Cathe, Thanks so much for answering my post!!! It really made my day extra special! You rock nkuangel

I just did HIS for the first time tonight and have been previewing it since I got it because I new that the choreography was going to be tricky and wow it was more fun than the preview. I still have not mastered the third combination you know the spin over the top shuffle pivot thing but for the...

Hello Cathe, I hope that you will come back and see this message it would make my day if you could answer it. I am getting married on June 14th of 08 and couldn't be happier or more excited. My fiance and I have been dating for almost six years now, I am 22 turning 23 in November and he is...

That is the workout I am most psyched about, I am a kickboxing instructor myself and just don't know how Cathe comes up with her kicking and punching combinations. Is it similar to KPC or does it just have the same feeling. I am particularly interested in the crazy punching combination that is...

I am planning a June 2008 wedding and just got my wedding dress yesterday. I am having a traditional church wedding and couldn't imagine it any other way. We have been together for over 5 years now, I am 22 and we have been engaged since may 20 2006. It was the most wonderful and precious...

The chart is listed in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual, but I am sure that you would be able to find it on their website somehow. nkuangel

Yes but unfortunately the number of aging adults that are able to do that number of bent knee push ups is slim when looking at the general population. It is the norm for aging adults to have things such as decreased bone mass, decreased muscle mass which are all going to affect overall strength...

According to the American Council on Exercise or ACE the average number of bent knee push ups for women ate 40-49 is 11-14. ACE designed the push up test for men to perform the push ups straight leg and women bent knee simply because men are naturally stronger. The muscle that you need to...

Marcy, I know what you mean about the "flab" and unfortunately in order to get rid of it you must strengthen your tricep as well as lose the layer of fat that is over the muscle. Exercises like pullovers using both hands and maybe using a heavier weight (because you are using both arms)...

Thanks everyone for the congrats! I am waiting to hear back from our priest still since he is the only one we have at our church but when we finally book the date then I will be super duper excited. I was talking to my best friend who actually introduced me to Cathe about P90X and we are...

Hey all, I was walking down the hall today in school and saw a girl whom I hadn't seen for a while, we used to have classes together but have taken different classes and I was glad to see her but from far away she looked pregnant. Just a little I am not even calling her fat, overweight or...

Thank you so much to all of you who answered. Frankly I would trust what you all tell me rather than just believe the guarantees on the box. Thank you to those of you who said I could email you. I will definitely be asking you some questions but I have to go study for a psychiatric nursing exam...
