Xtreme Home Workout

Yes this is the one and only P90X.  I am trying this intense workout to get in tip top shape for spring break and the summer.  Now, I always thought that home workouts were stupid; all you need is the wonderful outdoors and maybe a mat to whip out some crunches on.  Not with this workout.  It's main focus is based on the idea of "muscle confusion."  Meaning, there is a specific order you must follow with the discs while working out.  Right before the body gets used to working out the same routine over and over, p90x switches it up with different discs containing new workouts that hit muscles that have not been used.  I am now on my fourth week out of the full thirteen weeks.  Results are almost noticeable the very first week.  Now I definitely have ways to go since there are still over nine weeks left for me, but I know this works.  Besides the work out, you must follow the nutrition guide.  p90x sets it up day by day, phase one two and three, recipes, and anything you need to know to assure yourself you are eating healthy.  At the beginning they have you eating mostly all proteins and hardly any carbs, but by the end of the process, it flips and carbs seems to be the major intake.  It can be hard to follow since I have sudden urges for certain sweets that are just too hard to resist.  Over all, I do think that it is a great workout and I am excited to stick with it and see and feel the ending results.
