I am still on a quest to answer - Does P90X Work? Only 68 more days to go!
It's nearly 2am...
But that didn't stop me from pushing play - I was faced with two options, I could skip my workout and just go to bed, or I could push my limits and dig deep into my will to succeed.
We are faced with this challenge every day - To Push Play or not. The Key to your success is over coming your thoughts that hold you back and finding that power within to complete your task.
I easily spent 3 hours in front of the TV today surfing pointless channels, melting my brain and becoming soft. I had little drive and focus - It took a lot of digging but I have overcome my laziness and Pushed Play. Today may be a little extreme because it got so late but my message is this.
Don't let yourself get in a rut - Working out really is not that challenging and it takes up a very small portion of the day. Yes it's hard to push yourself some days and stay focused but that's when you reach out to others for accountability.
I received an email today - It basically said that my videos and pushing play every day was this individuals reason for starting their own journey. This was a powerful message to me, how could I let this person down? It's not just about me because we are a community of people seeking better health and fitness.
It's amazing how empowering a simple email can be.
Push Play my friends and don't let yourself fall - Reach out. After all, Beachbody is people helping people to succeed.
Never let your dreams fade, never stop reaching for the stars, but most importantly never stop living life - It's this very gift we share that brings us together.

Well it's been a little while since I made a progress update. Thanks ADHD! =)
I am on track though the first three weeks in my P90X Reloaded schedule got a little messed up. I got myself into a rut of missing workouts and missed a couple each week. This was mainly because I got myself so busy doing other things that I didn't leave time and energy for my exercise.
With that said, things have changed! As I always tell everyone else, "Take Responsibility for yourself and Take Action"! That's exactly what I am doing and it couldn't feel better.
I am back on track and have focused my energies where they need to be, my health and fitness. I have started to push my workouts earlier in the morning / afternoon, soon I hope to be working out by 8-9 am so I can be done before most people even start their day.
With the start of Phase 2 in less than two weeks I have decided I will start with Doubles. Instead of saying I am going to "Try", I am telling you that I am going to "Do".
Doubles will add 3 additional Cardio X Exercises to my P90X Workout Schedule in Phase 2 and 4 in Phase 3. This is extreme my friends and I can't wait to see how this goes.
I am working on my P90X Workout Schedule Work Sheet Scans from week two which I will post shortly.
Keep Pushing Play and Keep Taking Action! That is how you get results.

Picture this: Unhealthy Computer Nerd with no Direction decides to answer the question - Does P90X Work. Ends up Ripped and Lean in only 90 Days!
Does P90X Work? The following words and pictures will answer that through my own experience. I can tell you though that if you are not willing and able to change your life then you might want to look elsewhere. But if you are ready to take action and take charge, P90X does work and you Will get in Incredible Shape!
I will reveal a brief story about where I came from before P90X and where I am now. Follow me.
I Thought it was about time I posted some more picture updates to show my current progress and to answer the question - Does P90X Work. But it wouldn't be very effective if I didn't show you where I started. The first series of pictures was me back in December 08 only 2 days after Pushing Play. I wasn't severely over weight but I was severely out of shape. I had spent the last four years previous playing World of Warcraft, staying up late, Drinking often, and just having no overall respect for my body.
The following photo's are what I had to show for 4 years of neglecting my health - Sure it was fun and I met some amazing people. But is this what I want to show my Friends and Family when I'm old? Absolutely not!
Below you will see my Before and current After Shots - Of course I am still pushing play so it only gets better, but this is how far I have come to date. So Does P90X Work? Read on and You Will See ;).
My Mage known by the name of Drackis - Once Ice then Arcane - Owner of 2v2 and Lord of Destruction =)
I felt like trash and was often sick because I was not eating healthy and spent 8-10 hours sitting at the computer daily. At this point I could hardly do 3-4 pull ups before being winded. I had tried doing Ab Ripper X before actually starting my 90 days of P90X - It was a joke. I spent more time flopping on the floor and wheezing than I did actually completing each move effectively.
Then one day it all came together - I decided it was time to take my Determination and Motivation into the Real World. It was time to do something for myself and share with others, it was time to stop dreaming and time to start living.
Success is only achieve through Doing - So Do It! P90X Does Work!
Pre-90X December 2008 Day 2
So my message is this - Stop wondering Does P90X Work and start doing! This is proof alone that P90X works and it doesn't matter when you start, it matters that You Do Start!
At the top and right of this blog you can purchase your own copy of P90X - All you need is the mindset to do it, push play every day, and finally get in shape!
P.S. If you go through this blog you will get me as your personal Coach to answer your questions and motivate you through your own journey. It's my turn to pay back to you what was given to me. Join Me!

Replies. mp3Today was P90X Reloaded Day 2 as I go on my second round to once and for all answer the question - Does P90X Work?
This has to be one of the best Plyometrics days I have every had - I mean you would think so being that this is my second round. But seriously, I remember back on day two of my first P90X run - I felt nauseous and cramped up, I wasn't sure if i'd even be able to finish. Now I run through the entire DVD without any issue, that's not to say it's easy though.
Plyometrics is still the mother of all P90X workouts when it comes to cardio. A good alternative would be P90X+ Interval X but in my book Plyometrics still rocks.
88 more days to go! =)
It's nearly 12:30 am EST - This is what happens when you wait all day! But the key is to do your workout regardless. It's done and my day now feels complete, I will wake up as early as possible and jump right into Day 3 first thing.
Take Action in your life, take responsibility for your Health and if you plan to coach get involved ASAP! This stuff takes time, the sooner you get setup the better. This is not me selling this is me telling you what works!
More to Come!

I am beyond excited to get started here - Today will be Chest and Back + Ab Ripper X. Being a P90X Graduate I know I can expect amazing results as long as I stay consistent and determined. 90 days can be a long time, staying in touch with why I am starting today is very important. It's easy to become less motivated after the first or second week when you don't have a clear goal and mind set to succeed.
I will be taking pictures and getting my measurements today - I will also be using new workout log sheets and the P90X Calender. After this week I want to add some diet supplements like Whey Protein Isolate and the P90X Men's Strength and Muscle Berry flavor formula. I already have nearly 30 days of the P90X Performance pack which includes multivitamins and an metabolism booster.
One big difference from this round as opposed to my first is the fact I now have unlimited weight available. My first round through I only had a set of 10 and a set of 15 pound weights. Combined I could reach 25lbs in each hand or 30 lbs in one hand for "Lawn Mower" and other one handed moves. For this round I have a nearly brand new set of BoFlex Selectech's - These will allow me to range from 5 - 52.5 pounds in .5 lb increments. How sweet is that? I got pretty cut doing the X with what I had the first time. Now I have all the weight I need to stay within 8-10 reps, I honestly can't tell you the results I am going to get. With a near perfect diet going hand in hand this round I plan to really build up some muscle. Watch out Tony - I am going to get jacked! :)
This is what I plan to stick to as best as possible. We are all human so 100% is not always going to happen but the key is that we try our best. If we only get 90% today, bring 110% tomorrow - Just never give up! With this mind set NOTHING can stand in your way to the results you want... NOTHING.
This is what I will be doing to share my progress and also to stay accountable.
- *Nearly daily photo's
- *Daily Blog Post
- *Once a week I will scan and upload my workout Logs
- *Monthly Measurements
- *I will check off a 90 day calender every day

Today is a different message, I am not going to talk about ChaLEAN Extreme or P90X - I watched a video by Jonathan Budd who is a very successful young guy. Not just financially but in his spirit. I was truly motivated by his message and wanted to share it with others.
This is his video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYr8TBMJbZk
As usual I got talking because I am very passionate about life and the energies around us. I in no way consider myself an expert because every day is a growing experience. You can learn from anything and everything if you live with an open mind. A blossoming flower to an outwardly appearing "dead" leaf - Everything has a lesson to teach if you leave yourself open for the lesson.
Be free of your mind and your wasteful thoughts - We all live a constant dialogue in our own minds. Through practice and consciousness you can learn to control and quiet the wasteful thoughts and channel this energy in ways you never imagined.
Be Free.

Ready to get in Shape?
Let's first realize what needs to be done then we will talk about Team Beachbody and how P90X (PX90) can get you there. But first…
It's time to stop making excuses and step forward by taking the actions necessary to reaching your goals. You will not get in shape and get the body you want by watching E Channel's Top 25 Hott bodies. I know we are all guilty of wanting something so badly but you never actually do anything about it.
I spent a year having P90X in my possession but did nothing about it. I talked to people around me and told everyone how I wanted to get in shape. Did I do anything about it? No. For some reason it's a lot easier to talk about it than actually make that decision to Push Play. You need to be of the mindset that you will complete this no matter what.
*For those that don't know what P90X is - P90X is a home workout boot camp with 12 different DVD's that focus on all aspects of fitness; Resistance, Cardio, Stretch, and Intervals - Mind, Body, and Soul. One day you lift heavy, the next day you punch and kick with Kenpo, and another day you are pushing your boundaries with Yoga.
P90X is broken into 3 Phases - 30 days each. Every phase mixes up the DVD's and brings a new challenge so you don't get bored and you never stay fully adapted to the workouts. Keep in mind you can use Bands in place of weights and a chin up bar, you can modify moves to adapt to your level, you can pause the videos to recover - You are really left with no valid excuses. Do it!
You know, I had not worked out in over 4 years. I had spent that time getting out of shape sitting in front of my computer - I played World of Warcraft and drank beer. I had an amazing experience with so many interesting people, I regret nothing. But I lacked the mindset that I could do this. One day I decided no more, I hit play and never looked back. I didn't spend time planning it out or thinking about 90 days. I just hit Play and Did It.
Sometimes it's about locking down your life and getting your focus back. P90X is not the only one answer but it IS a tool that will get you to where you want to be. A lot of things work out there, but it is only through your own "doing" that the results are achieved.
Let me ask you this - Were you in shape before? Do you remember how you felt?
If Yes, Do something about it! It's that simple. All you have to do is Push Play.
Have you always been overweight and want something to change?
You can make this happen, I promise you! It starts by loving yourself for who you are now. Without that love for yourself you will always want something different. I am not saying you have to love being overweight, but you have to love the being that you are. You are life and you are Beautiful!
Now take that energy and focus it. Use P90X as the tool to achieve your Fitness desires!
If your excuse is that P90X is to difficult, try something less intense. Start with One on One with Tony Horton, try 10 Minute Trainer, Hip Hop Abs, Turbo Jam, Chalean Extreme, whatever you need to do. What matters is that you start somewhere!
Those that take action today will achieve the results they desire tomorrow. Those that dream about results but hesitate will only ever dream of their results. Who are you?
Follow me on a journey in 90 days. Imagine yourself with that sleek, ripped, defined body you always wanted. Do you see it? Live it!
I will be your Fitness Coach and Your wall to lean on - Together in life we Empower each other to reach within and channel our energies. Never hesitate to use me - I chose to become an Independent Beachbody Coach for the simple fact that I want to help others get in shape. It has been more than just that though - I have found new meaning in myself and have channeled all of my energy on achieving the unachievable. Every day is a precious gift to live and to experience life - No matter how dark and bleak it may seem.
Start P90X and come with me on a journey to change your life forever - Promise Yourself.
Imagine how good you will feel - Picture all of the compliments from people who watched you transform.
You can do this - It's all about finding the mindset that You Will Do This and that you Truly want to change. Love yourself now and you will Love yourself Always - Start P90X.

You read the title right - I was really starting to miss P90X in my life so I did something crazy. I started P90X Round 2 {Day 1} on ChaLEAN Extreme Round 1 {Day 22}! I actually found that each program goes hand in hand when placed next to each other. Granted I am nearly 1/3 of the way through ChaLEAN, but that's OK.
I won't actually complete a full run through P90X Round 2 because I plan to start a dedicated "P90X Reloaded" phase after ChaLEAN. Setup kind of like the ChaLEAN Team Xtreme Skype Group we have going but for P90X. I'll explain more in coming months so you can get involved!
This is what my new Routine looks like without looking at the P90X Rest week. Keep in mind I am doing P90X "Classic". Also, I am spreading out my P90X workouts and ChaLEAN Extreme workouts by at least 2 hours in the day.
- Day 1: P90X Chest and Back - Ab Ripper X - ChaLEAN Burn Circuit One
- Day 2: P90X Plyometrics - ChaLEAN "Day Off"
- Day 3: P90X Shoulders and Arms - Ab Ripper X - ChaLEAN Burn Circuit Two
- Day 4: P90X Yoga X - ChaLEAN Burn Intervals - ChaLEAN Ab Burner
- Day 5: P90X Legs and Back - Ab Ripper X - ChaLEAN Burn Circuit Three
- Day 6: P90X Kenpo X - ChaLEAN Burn it Off - Recharge
- Day 7: REST!
Repeat Week 2, 3, etc....
Obviously every week is not like this but I wanted to show you how well each program compliments each other when placed side by side. You never work the same muscle group two days running, this allows for ample recovery time and IMO, maximum results!
Of course, a program like this will require a lot more time and a huge Calorie requirement - I am aiming to consume at least 2800 calories upwards to 3800 a day! Keep in mind I don't have any more weight to lose after my first round of P90X. I simply want bulk muscle.
I am what you would consider a "Hard Gainer", meaning I have to work constantly to Build and Retain muscle mass. When I was 18 I designed my own resistance training diet along with the "Body Pump" routine. In 12 weeks I was able to gain upwards to 15 pounds on my 5'8 frame in solid muscle and was pressing 200 pounds (6 reps) when I weighed 165 pounds. It is my goal to return to that weight level.
I will stick as close to my new Hybrid Schedule as possible - Expect some serious Results! I know I do :).
I was going to do a ChaLEAN Extreme Day 20 Update but I decided it couldn't wait - So here is my Day 19 Update :)
Things have still been flowing pretty smooth with ChaLEAN - I have really cracked down on the forms and learned to maximize each move. I also cranked my weight ahead on my Select Techs for each position at least 2.5 pounds up to 5 pounds on some. I definitely feel stronger in my back and shoulders and have noticed results mostly in my Deltoids.
I have not been very good at taking pictures as I have progressed through ChaLEAN - Not like P90X where I took pictures every day to every couple days. But in the same token I don't expect as much of a transformation as I have already completed P90X pre-ChaLEAN. The only thing that can change now is maybe a loss of 1% body fat and some bulk.
Don't get me wrong though, it will happen! Push phase is phase 2 of ChaLEAN focuses on slow, controlled, isolated reps of at least 6 and no more than 8.
Low reps like that means huge muscle burn and therefore some good mass as long as the diet accompanies. I will be adding calories probably in the range of 2500-3000 in Phase 2 - I will also focus directly on my Protein intake equally - no less than 140 grams and upwards to 175 grams.
** I complete my first Coaching Broadcast and everything went well - I had 5 Viewers and some great questions. I plan to make this a weekly thing to help educate anyone interested in Coaching all about the program. It's not my goal to sell anything but more to the fact to attract those who are really of the mindset for success. Those are the people that will automatically join without me having to sell anything. It's those motivated and driven people that I want on my team of Coaches - Alone we can try but Together we Will Succeed!

Let me take You on a Journey, Lets look beyond and into the Power You Possess to Achieve Your every Dream.
Let Me show You Your life as an Independent Beachbody Coach- Read On..
I will Tell You How to Find the Success in Life You have Always Dreamed Of Below - But First...
I have a few Simple Questions to see if You are of the Right Mindset for What I have to Share.
Are You seeking outwardly the chance to leave behind Corporate America and to Embrace Everything Life has to Offer?
Do You dread the daily drive back and forth from work?
Do You dream of having All the Time You Want in Your Life for You and Your Family?
Yes? Then Read On...

I Understand where You are - If You said Yes to any questions above than You and I are One in Mindset. Since my first day in Corporate America I realized there was something so much more profound for me - I knew that working hard to pay some else was not my Dream.
I marvel the idea that the more I Work the More I Prosper - Do You?
Picture this...
You wake up on the normal Monday, but this time it's different. There was no alarm to jolt You from a restful slumber. You woke Normally and Naturally.
Upon waking You feel an over-powering Sense of Freedom, Of Ease, Of total Relaxation. You think to Yourself... Why?
Then You remember - "I Am Free"
With that passing thought imagine further...
You lay back and return to another passing hour of Beautiful Dreams until finally waking to the Gem that is Your Day - Your Time - Your Success.
By Now You would be driving 30 minutes, light after light, Rushing to avoid being 1 minute late to work...
Instead Your enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee as you watch the world awaken around you, Unbound by time and responsibility.
Maybe You start to cook an incredible breakfast as your children slowly funnel to the kitchen one by one. Or Perhaps Your Intelligent, Beautiful, and Loving Spouse opens their eyes to see you gazing upon him/her in the suspended state of time.
You haven't had time like this to be free to appreciate everything this significant other has to offer - You are now free to Love and Cherish each other... Forever.
"A loving heart is the truest wisdom."
Charles Dickens
By now a Empowering Sense of Freedom, Love, and Joy has filled Your Mind, Body, and Soul.

(At the Bottom I will Share my Recipe for Success in Every Avenue of Life.)
Two Weeks!?
Absolutely - ChaLEAN Team Xtreme is now 2 full weeks underway and we are bringing it more than ever! I am loving the ChaLEAN program more and more as time goes on.
My first week was a little slow and I wasn't sure what to think - That was mainly because the forms were different and the whole program is a different style than P90X. Each are intense in their own right but they vary in how the intensity is Displayed.
I really recommend if you have not started a fitness program and you want something pretty intense - Start out with ChaLEAN Extreme. But absolutely without a doubt make sure you study and practice the forms first. It's pointless to jump into the program with a Superman/ Superwoman Complex. There is no need to get injured!
My Diet has been the biggest struggle of them all - I don't eat bad really, but I don't eat enough. You really need to make sure that you eat plenty of high quality foods. "Mich's Ladder" is a great reference when putting together your shopping list.
My biggest problem is budgeting for Groceries. I don't seem to leave myself with enough to buy bulk which of course is your best option. I tend to nickle and dime myself each day, I eat good, but I could eat a lot better if I had tons of selections at home. The thing is you do what you can do. I live a pretty busy weekend Thur-Sun as a Server at Red Robin, this does not leave me much time to eat so I have to compromise and fill in with healthy snacks (Oatmeal, Power Bars, Naked® Drinks, etc.). For anyone that is or has been a server you know exactly how hard it is to get a good meal in. You just simply do not get Breaks.
It's OK though, I look at Red Robin as my buffer to get my general daily bills out of the way - Being an Independent Beachbody Coach is my real deal, though it does take time to build a successful business. I will tell you that I have already found success and Truthfully I will be set free from my Corporate job within 3-6 months.
The window of possibility has opened for me through hard work and dedication - You can manifest your own Success too. Dream Yes, but make sure to "Do" more than you "Dream""Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."

Hello there - Yet another day is complete in my ChaLEAN Extreme Journey. Today was Day Six which was comprised of a 30 minute Cardio Workout very Similar to Tony Horton's PlyoMetrics from P90X (PX90) though this is much shorter! You do a lot of jumping and fast paced movements but it really is a lot of fun! You work really hard and You will absolutely sweat but Chalene Keeps everything Interesting, Intense, and High Energy. I can't help but get pumped to workout every time I get to the main menu of each ChaLEAN Disk.
The Second part of Day 6 Involves a "ReCharge" 20 minute stretch video - This is very similar to P90X's Yoga though it is Much Much Much shorter and throws some variations on each move. It's a nice change of pace to do the shorter video though at the same time I am very happy to welcome Yoga back into my Fitness.
Flexibility and Center of One's Mind are very crucial components to a successful life - Not just in fitness but in Your entire life. Learn Your Boundaries but at the same time realize they are not limits but just Doors To Open!
My first day left me a little unsure as to my impression of ChaLEAN - Mainly due to the new moves and my lack of knowing the forms. I spent most of the time attempting to pull off each move without hurting myself more than effectively doing the workout. That was my first day - It Got Better though and now it's really coming together.
Once You learn the forms and understand the mechanics of each move it makes it much easier to maximize the effectiveness to achieve muscle burn. The Key is to lift heavy and Burn Early - Burn phase is all about conditioning and reaching complete muscle failure by 10 and no more than 12 reps. I am interesting in reaching the Push Phase which is the 30-60 day mark in the program. In "Push" it's all about lifting heavy enough to reach full muscle failure by 6 and no more than 8 reps! Low Reps mean A LOT more weight - Heavier weight = Increased Muscle Density and Strength.
It's true - "Muscle Burns Fat"!

I have completed my First Day of ChaLEAN Extreme and so far so good - It's a bit different than P90X (PX90) but it's a nice alternative. Learning the form was a little interesting and that will take another week or so - I am excited to see how the next 90 days unfold - Enjoy the video!
This is a quick after thought I posted in the Live ChaLEAN Xtreme Team Skype Group (Conact me if you want to get involved)

[3/19/2009 10:14:15 AM] Jason Croxford: Otherwise, its great! Not very many moves and a quick video at that

This will be short but I couldn't wait to post.
In just One Hour I will be starting my first day of ChaLEAN Extreme. I have been Eagerly awaiting the start of this program ever since I completed my First Round of P90X on March 8th, 09. It is going to be interesting to compare both programs and I wonder which will be my favorite. Right now I am absolutely in Love with P90X and everything that it does. I got some amazing results simply by bringing it nearly every single, I ate clean, and I stayed dedicated.
ChaLEAN Extreme is broken into Three Phases:
Burn
You lift no more than 10-12 Reps reaching a Burn in the last 2-3 Reps. The idea here is conditioning and getting ready for phase 2!
Push
Here is the real stuff - In Push you lift no more than 6-8 reps, You want to pick a weight that is heavy enough to give you that burn without exceeding 8 reps. This will really focus on those Type 2 Muscles and really help stimulate Muscle Fiber Growth!
Lean
In the "Lean" phase you return to 10-12 reps and focus more on Interval Cardio with Resistance training. This will really help burn off that fat now that you have built strong Lean Muscle in Phase 1 and Phase 2.
I will be updated later today after I complete Day 1 of ChaLEAN including a Video Log - Make sure to check back tonight!

P90X (PX90) 90 Day Review
These are my numbers and pictures before and after completing my first round of P90X (PX90)
->->->There seems to be a huge space gap, Scroll Down!<-<-<-
| Weight lbs | Fat % | Chest | Waste | Hips | Thighs | Arms | |
| Day 1 | 148 | 12 | 38" | 33" | 35.5" | 22.5" | 12.5" |
| Day 30 | 150 | 11 | 37.5" | 31.25" | 33.75" | 22" | 13" |
| Day 60 | Uknown | Uknown | 38.5" | 31.25" | 34"' | 21.5" | 13.5" |
| Day 90 | 145 | 9.5 | 38.5" | 30.75" | 34" | 21.5" | 13.5" |
| Results | Minus ~ 5lbs | - 2.5% | + .5" | - 2.25" | - 1.5" | - 1" | + 1" |
I only had a set of 10 lb and 15 lb free weights to get me through the program so the results speak for themselves. With even light weights you can achieve great results! You can notice how it slowed down for me once I adapted fully to the weight I had available - Day 60 to 90 didn't change much in numbers though I did get A LOT stronger.
I now have a set of BoFlex Selectech's so I feel very confident that a second round of P90X will produce drastic results. Over all though I did lose 4.75" off my body in fat and gained 1.5" in muscle. My biggest goal was to lose body fat and that was defintely achieved - I had a total reduction of about 2.5% body fat with P90X (PX90).
