    Best cathe rotation - for fat loss and defintion you have done

    The fastest I lost weight was in 2007 I went from about 150 in March 2007 and was in the mid 130's by that summer. What did I do? I did Tae Bo nearly every day and also did double sessions of cardio at the gym 2-3 days a week. On Saturdays I would spend 60 minutes on the Arc Trainer at the gym...

    Brit's Bod

    I'm not a huge Brit fan, but I'm a Brit sympathizer. Not only that but she keeps making hits - you can't disagree. I think it's great people are talking about her hot bod. When I heard about it I was expecting to see ribs and hip bones and was pleased to see some womanly flesh. I think she has a...

    3x a week full body workout?

    Hi Amanda, I have noticed quite a few posts throughout the board in regard to really wanting to dive into fat loss and also that you are frustrated that Insanity isn't "working" for you. Would you care to share some information about yourself? What is your current training plan and nutrition...

    Ade is such a gentle giant. I adore him and Melissa and I hope they both make it to the final week so we can see them dance again. Melissa is the epitome of class and grace. Love this show! Been following since Season 1!

    change up p90x?

    I agree with everyone - especially Ab Skipper X! You are working out for you and if you want to switch it up do it! I did Tae Bo and KPC instead of Kenpo frequently, but I did the Yoga every week - mostly because I loved it, but I was ready to get rid of that 90 minute AM time commitment by...

    Early Risers do you eat before working out?

    The only thing that doesn't give me immediate cramps is an extra small ripe banana!

    Not eating enough???

    Fats The easiest way to add calories without feeling like you are cramming food down your throat is adding healthy fats! I definitely think it would be worth it for you to add calories in. Also - if you are eating a lot at night, are you sure you are still eating only 1200 calories? Are you...

    HIIT vs. lower intensity -what's happening, dude?

    I have read that doing your intervals, stopping for a while (5 min), and then doing your steady state is more beneficial for fat loss. I wish I remembered the article... but I thought I would throw that out there.

    Moving Forward after p90x

    I am in my second to last week of. I have not lost any weight with p90x, but I have been eating at maintenance because my goal was to optimize fitness. However, I am getting ready for a wedding in June and my wedding in November and want to have a very slender appearance for these events. I am...

    Workout Manager Calorie Burn figures

    Just curious if the read-outs are lower or higher on your HRM? I was surprised it told me I would only burn 450 in Interval Max, while p90x estimates one to burn 600 in Plyo X. I find IMax to be much harder! PS This is my first post!
