Got my guns poppin’ for you girl.

I like to lift fairly heavy. I’m 5’6″ 195 lbs. I’ll do Bench Press 225 lbs, 10 sets of 10 reps or squat 225, 3 sets at 25 reps. Dead lift 225 3 sets at 225, 15 reps.One arm dumbell rows 75 lbs 3 reps at 15 reps. And I always do these within a circuit of other exercises. So I’m strong and I’ve always done cardio, 1 hour of intervals on the stairmaster about 3-4 times a week, but over the past few years, I have felt myself becoming just stiff despite a very muscular physique. So I started that Shaun T. Insanity workout a month ago.

I do the workout and then lift about 45 minutes afterwards. I haven’t lost any weight because I like where I am, but my body is far more mobile and less stiff and my balance is much better and my overall fitnes level is much better I think. I plan on doing the X90P early next year, but I’ll always finish off the workout with 45 minutes of lifting. It’s my base.

if you e-mail me I can get you a serious program together. You’ll be looking less like the stocky member of Jodeci in no time.

Keep eatin’ them thurr tumbleweeds Christine. You’ll be straight

Well, I can’t recommend it highly enough. While it is great to have commitment, it is even better to have a plan laid out for you. All you have to do is follow it, or, as the program itself says to do everyday, “just press play.”

I did it – gave myself 90 days of true commitment – all my old clothes that hadn’t fit for years because I puffed up now fit very comfortably. I can do 20 pull ups when I used to do 5. Every muscle group is both leaner (less fat around it) and bigger. Even more interesting… now a few months later, I gained a little weight back, but the muscle tone is still there and the clothes still fit well. In other words, it allowed me to totally transform my body. What more can you ask for?

I know it’s expensive, but… well, you are clever. Where there’s an internet, there’s a way. All you need are a few dumbells (10, 15, 20 lbs were all I used), a pull-up bar (just bought a cheap one on ebay and hooked it up above the door frame, and a work out space (pushed the coffee table aside each day in the living room in front of the tv). If you want more evidence… check youtube and search “p90x” – testimonials everywhere.
