P90X3 at the Park

What? I thought that P90X workouts were just for in-home use? Ha ha, NOPE! Especially now with Beachbody on Demand, you can actually take P90X workouts anywhere......ANYTIME! I actually prefer using the workout sheets which I put in my iBooks app on my iPhone, and it works perfect for me when I am doing the strength-based (weight-lifting) workouts. I can do this anywhere around the world whether I am at home, the gym, or just like yesterday at the park.

So I decided to go to Alafia State Park in Lithia, FL yesterday to do some P90X3, Triometrics to be exact. This specific workout gets me every single time! When you watch my video below, you will probably think it looks easy, but trust me, it is far from easy. The X3 Triometrics workout is like Plyometrics. The workout consists of jumping, squats, and just a lot of leg, stability, and core work. There are about 15 exercise movements and each movement is done with 3 levels of intensity, and if you do the movements correctly, your legs will be BURNING all day =). You can check out the Triometrics Movement List from a previous blog post here.

7 Tips On How To Stay Motivated With P90X

 How To Stay Motivated With P90X

Let's face it, some people are just a lot more self-motivated than others. But even though you are the latter (need all the motivation that you can get), and you are the type of person who cannot stay on track no matter what, there are ways to help you get the motivation that you need to eventually conquer P90X!

I remember when I did P90X for the first time back in 2010 (watch my FIRST P90X Transformation Video - click here), it was my first Beachbody Fitness Program that I ever completed, and trust me, it was tough for me, and I am someone who is self-motivated! Even people who are self-motivated cannot do it on their own, but I found some awesome things that helped me through it, and after 90 days, I was a new person inside and out. So how did I do it? 

Here are some tips that I used to help me stay motivated with P90X:

1.  Connect with a Beachbody Coach - Nothing beats getting advice, personal motivation and tips from someone who has graduated from P90X, and is committed to helping you, that's what a Beachbody Coach does, and on top of that, it's absolutely FREE! Can't get that from your Personal Trainer =) 5 Ways a Coach Can Help You Reach Your Goals - Click Here!

2.  Join a Online P90X Challenge Group - Most people go to a gym or a Crossfit Box because they get motivated by people working out, it's the camaraderie! An Online P90X Challenge Group works the same way in that you are in a exclusive group with people who have similar goals as you, and everyone is committed to helping you smash your goals!

3.  Get an Accountability Partner - You've heard of this before "you are who you hang around with" and that is far from the truth! We all need motivation, we all need people in our lives to help us through the tough times. Starting a fitness journey has it's ups and down, so having someone who knows exactly what your goals are, and backs you 100% is a must when going through P90X!

4.  Invite your Friends - Whether you are working out at home, or at the gym, it's a lot more motivating when you have family and friends doing P90X with you. Invite your friends to do the P90X Challenge Group with you, and all of you can keep each other accountable, and also have some healthy competition =)

5.  Online Fit Clubs - Some Beachbody Coaches such as myself run Online Fit Clubs within our Challenge Groups. It's an awesome way to workout with people who are a thousand miles away! Click Here for more information on my Online Fit Clubs!

6.  Do P90X at the Gym - There is a reason why people have gym memberships. They have all the equipment they need plus more for their intense workouts, and secondly, they are motivated by the atmosphere and the accountability. P90X is not just a home fitness program! You can do P90X anywhere, including the gym, that's what I do! =) Contact me and let me teach you how to do P90X and the gym, or read my blog post on this topic here.

7.  Don't forget that you're Human - I remember that I use to get frustrated when I missed a day, or I was too tired for a workout because of working three jobs! P90X is not just a program, it's a lifestyle. Don't worry if you miss a day, or you ate something bad because you had to eat something real quick in between jobs. We are all human! As the creator of P90X Tony Horton says "Do your best, and forget the rest".

So I hope this helps, and if you need any help, I am here for you. If you would like me to Coach you through P90X for free, you can make me your FREE Coach by clicking here! Once you have made me your Free P90X Coach, simply add me on facebook so that we can start going over some of your goals. Looking forward to your SUCCESS!

P90X - Cardio X

P90X Cardio X is a 43 minute workout which is included with the P90X Classic Program. You will not find the Cardio X workout in the Classic Workout Schedule, only in the Lean and Doubles Workout Sheets. Although it is not included in the classic workout sheet, some people replace the P90X Plyometrics workout with Cardio X.

P90X - Cardio X

Not one of my favorite P90X workouts, but I use this mainly on a rest or recovery day. The workout consists of a little bit of yoga, martial arts, fat-burning cardio, and plyometrics. This would also make for a good workout if you are just trying to get some cardio in for the day, and you don't feel like running.

P90X - Cardio X

The great thing about this workout is that you can go as intense as you want. There are modifications available, so it is perfect for anyone of all fitness levels. It's also a fun workout to do as a group, especially if you are a Beachbody Coach who runs a Beachbody Fit Club.

P90X - Cardio X

The one thing about this workout is that you can easily slack if you want to =). But if you go full intensity all the way to the end, you can burn some major calories with this. Just remember, when you are doing the power punches and kicks, that you do them with proper form or you can easily tweak your back or knees. Foot placement when you are kicking and punching is very important, keep your core tight, and always breathe =).

P90X - Cardio X

P90X is definitely one of my favorite workouts to do on a weekly basis, specifically for strength. I just wanted to add this REMINDER in closing just for some of you out there who think that P90X is just a 90 Day Program. Most people do not know that P90X currently includes: P90X Classic, P90X2, P90X3, P90X Plus, P90X Certified Classes, and 3 years worth of P90X One on One Workouts. P90X is not just a 90 Day Program, it's a lifestyle. Don't let anyone tell you anything different just because they want you to try their program or gym. P90X is one of the most versatile workout programs out there. You can do P90X anywhere: the gym, your home, outdoors, incorporated with your other workouts, and in a group setting. Whatever your goal is, whether to lose weight, bulk up, lean up, train for a Spartan Race, or just maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle.....P90X is for you!

How to do P90X at the GYM

It's a HUGE misconception that P90X is just an Extreme Home Fitness program. I started with P90X back in September 2010 (Watch my FIRST P90X Transformation Video), and I did it all from the comfort of my own home because I wasn't confident enough to go to the gym, in fact, I did not know how to do P90X at the gym =). It wasn't until I did the program multiple times did I understand how P90X exercises could be implemented at the gym. Right now, I actually prefer to "X" it at the the gym, but of course everyone is different, but it's nice to know that you do have options =).

HERE ARE 7 TIPS TO DOING P90X AT THE GYM:

1.  Use the P90X Worksheets or the P90X App - I personally love using the P90X App ($2.99) because it shows the movement list from P90X, P90X2, and P90X3. It is recommended that everyone view the DVD's first to understand the movements before implementing P90X at the gym. If you prefer using the worksheets, you can get the P90X Worksheets below:
- P90X Worksheets
- P90X2 Worksheets
- P90X3 Worksheets

2.  Bring your Laptop to the Gym - Now I am honestly not a big fan of this. Who wants to worry about getting their laptop stolen, and who wants to bring another piece of equipment to the gym? But again, this is another option, and also for people who haven't had the time to learn the exercises. If you do this, make sure to use head phones and keep the sound low to not disturb other people at the gym. Depending on how large the facility, you might be able to find a corner and take all of your "workout schrapnel" (P90X equipment, dumbbells etc) in one area.

P90X2 at the Gym

3.  Use the Cardio Equipment as a warm up alternative - For example, treadmill for a walk or light jog, cycle, stair-climb or use the elliptical machine for 5 to 10 minutes to warm up your body before your actual P90X workout.

4.  Use the Gym Equipment for variety - If your workout calls for push ups, use a bench press machine. If you have tricep kick back, use the various tricep machines. Can't do pull ups yet, use the cable pull down machine. Now I am not a machine type of person, I would much rather use dumbbells and free weights, but if you change it up sometimes, it keeps your workout exciting. Whatever you do, make sure that you are sticking to the 8-10 reps (if you want to build more mass), and 12 to 15 reps (to tone, shred, and maintain).

5.  Workout with an Accountability Partner - People workout at the gym for two main reasons: to have access to the equipment that they don't have at home, and to be motivated by others around them. Let's face it, we all workout harder when we are with other people. When you have your own accountability partner at the gym with you, it will help you with getting better results with P90X. Plus your partner can help you with making sure that you are doing the exercises properly. 

6.  No Gym, No Excuses - There will be days where you will not be able to go to the gym, and working out at home might be your BEST option. You can always double up on your workout the next day at the gym. So whether you are a gym freak or not, your home is always a good option to get your P90X workout in. It is of course an Extreme Home Fitness Program!

7.  Stick to the Nutrition Plan - It doesn't matter if you are doing P90X at the gym or at home, what you eat is 80% of your success with the program. I have used Shakeology since day 1 and it has helped me reduce cravings and has helped me make healthier choices. If you would rather use a meal planner, then I highly recommend getting a Team Beachbody Club Membership, it's simple and easy to use, and it includes the P90X Meal Planner.
