Click Here To Learn How To Exercise With P90X
My name is Jan and P90X taught me how to exercise in a way that makes losing weight fun and rewarding. The program is challenging, but it is well worth it when people start complimenting you on your weight loss. Throughout my life I was always known as the fat girl. Being fat became apart of my identity and I can honestly say that losing weight is the greatest achievement of my life. It comes before obtaining my masters degree! I supposed only another fat person can truly understand the horror and shame of obesity. I am glad to say that P90X taught me how to exercise and how to stay motivated. This is my review of P90X.
Raise Your Metabolism With Hard, Fast, and Intense Workouts:
I thank P90X for teaching me how to exercise. Before I started watching these DVDs, I thought that taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood and eating healthy were all that was needed to lose weight, but I was obviously wrong. Tony Horton, the creator and trainer on the P90X videos explains that exercise must be hard, fast, intense, and you must have variation. The reason why exercise must be intense is because this is the only way to supercharge your metabolism.
A supercharged metabolism burns calories at a very high rate, and increases your resting metabolism. This was something I never knew. In the past I’ve been told that I had a slow metabolism, but no one really explained how to speed it up! Eating 6 small meals per day never increased my metabolism, but P90X has taught me how to exercise in a way that supercharges my metabolism. Speeding up your metabolism is the key to losing weight, and it’s the reason why all my skinny friends could eat ice cream and never gain an ounce!

What Exactly Is P90X?
P90X is 12 workouts that are designed to teach you how to exercise, how to lose weight, build lean body mass and how to supercharge your metabolism. It includes a diet plan, and a schedule that you use to chart your progress. The P90X diet plan is broken down into 3 phase that mirror the exercise program:
Phase 1: This phase is where you learn how to exercise to build your fitness foundation. The diet is a high protein diet that helps you lose weight and build muscle. At the same time the exercise program is building your strength and cardiovascular capacity.
Phase 2: This phase has you eating a little more carbohydrates because the exercise workout is now focusing on fat loss.
Phase 3: Now that you know how to exercise and eat right, the final phase is about ultimate performance. By the time you start this phase you are in great shape. You have dropped some pounds and gained muscle, so your diet changes to one that has an adequate amount of carbohydrates and lean meat. This is the diet that most people will use for the rest of their life.
One of the very best things about P90X is that it never gets boring because Tony is always showing you different types of exercises and variations. The workouts include power yoga, calisthenics, pull ups, body weight exercises to build muscles, and fast paced aerobic workouts to lose fat.
The workouts can be a little tough if you are out of shape, but if you keep up with it you will definitely get the hang of it. I was able to go down 4 dress sizes. P90X taught me how to exercise and eat right.
