I noticed for phase 2 the ab program doesn't change. I wanna do something different. Do any of you guys have any routines or DVDs you would recommend?

You can try the 10 minute trainer (abe workout) from Tony Horton. It's pretty damn good. I mix that up with ab ripper x just to keep things from getting too boring.

He's also got P90x+, it has a 22 minutes ab/core workout and it looks like it'll eat you alive haha

i felt great again after doing Cardio X last night...i can push through the entire thing without stopping. i was feeling slightly unmotivated after blowing off this past weekend's workouts. so against my own will...i weighed myself this morning(was trying to hold out for the 30-day mark)......and found that i have lost 7lbs!! that is a lot for me since i'm only trying to lose about 15lbs anyway....so that was definitely a motivating factor for me. now i can't wait to see day 60-90 results!! keep pushin guys...it works

Congrats on your improvements. Cardio X is a bitch. Just because you want 15 doesnt mean you cant go past it. Wat does tony always say " Set it and forget it"!!!!

Tell me about it import36, first month (30 days) of eating right, taking in whey iso supplements, P90X 5 days a week and on a couple of days a secondary workout = 15lbs gone

Well sir Its hard to say the best way to measure BMI (body mass index) is the water test. However Ive done the weight and height calculations, the neck and waist tape calculation, and the caliper test and all show me a diffrent number. but it did help me get a more accurate number.

Weight and height 28% bmi
neck and waist 24% bmi
Caliper 25%

There you go I guess thats the easiest way to get a more accurate way to measure.

richeerich03 · 03-05-2010, 02:30 PM

Just wanted to post these pictures to help motivate not only me but others who are not doing this program and just reads this. You can do and transfor yourself into a new you.
First pic was me at 250lbs, 2nd was wat 175lbs, third was at 190lbs

.:bHd:. · 03-06-2010, 02:07 PM

Wow sick dude congrats. Did that take 90 days or more? More info please =]

Garduna · 03-06-2010, 02:11 PM

Good stuff!!! Congrats

leocdmg · 03-06-2010, 07:39 PM

It took me about 7 months from first pic to last. It took alot of cardio and aggressive diet. Im doing p90x now because a motorcycle accident and failed relationship makes you gain weight.
