P90X3-P90X2-P90X-Insanity Hybrid

P90X3_challenge_crewYou can read my previous fitness posts here, including my early reviews of P90X3.

I purchased P90X3 when it came out and went six weeks into it. I like it a lot and recommend it.  The workouts are tough and, at thirty minutes, are easy to fit into a busy schedule.  That said, I’d done P90X and P90X2 before starting P90X3, and while doing P90X3 exclusively I found that I missed some aspects of … Read the rest

P90X3 Review: First Impressions

P90X3_3

 

(Editor’s note:  After you’ve read this entry, you can read my review of the Strength Phase of P90X3 right here; in fact, all my fitness-related posts can be found by clicking one of the tags on this post).

So, I’ve done P90X, P90X2, thrown in some Insanity (you can read my earlier fitness related entries here; they’re gold, Jerry!  Gold!), and I received P90X3 a few days … Read the rest

P90X or P90X2? Some musings.

p90x-articleThose of you who care about such things perhaps know already that I’ve done P90X and P90X2. I wrote about my general experience and results here, in case you missed it. And I reviewed Plyocide (from P90X2) and Kenpo (from P90X).

Sometimes I’m asked by folks who are considering trying one or both which one I prefer. At the moment, I do a hybrid P90X-P90X2-Insanity routine that works really well for me, and … Read the rest

P90X-P90X2 Workout Review: KenpoX

P90X-Fitness-GuideIntro:  And lo!  I return with another review.  By way of background:  All of you know that I’ve been doing P90X or P90X2 for a while now.  If you’re so inclined, you can read about how that started here (spoiler: Like the ideas for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and the transubstantiation of the Host, my idea to start P90X was birthed in pain and blood).

Disclaimer and or warning: I’m not a fitness guru.  I’m … Read the rest

P90X-P90X2 Workout Review: Plyocide

P90X2_PlyocideIntro:  By now all of you know that I’ve been doing P90X and P90X2.  You can read about how that started here.  Now, I’m not big-time into fitness or nutrition or what have you.  I’m a writer, a proud geek, and a family man. I love Doritos and Fritos, and Tony Horton and his eating plan can suck it.  NO ONE TAKES THE PAULMAN’S DORITOS! DORITOS ARE GOD’S MANA AND FED THE ISRAELITES … Read the rest

P90X and P90X2 Results Post

P90X-Fitness-GuideOver the past six months I’ve tweeted and Facebooked and blogged some about my experiences with P90X and P90X2 (you can read why I think Tony Horton will usher in the end of the world right here).   Throughout, lots of people would ask me how it was going, whether I liked it, how I got started, was it working for me, etc.  So, I thought I should answer all of that by way of … Read the rest

The dark truth about P90X

I’ve concluded that the P90Xvideos aren’t so much workout videos as they are a visual mechanism by which the essence of the demonic entity known in this world as “Tony Horton” (but variously known in other words and dimensions as “Zarkast the Dark,” “Amunium the Faithless,” and “Aaal, the Hater of Life and Bringer of Pain”) is injected directly into one’s consciousness, such that his admonitions plague you even when doing mundane things.
