very nice results.

I was thinking the same thing. I bought P90x and have been putting it off but lately have been really considering it again. I know a few friends who have done it and the results really are drastic. Then I saw the infomercial for Insanity and that looks interesting too.

Any feedback on either?

Congrats Carlos!

your skin will tighten up, what's your age?


what do you mean "scaling the burning process from 400 calories a day the first month to 500 calories a day the second month and eventually 600 calories a day the third month." ??

also, i was looking at your food items in your diet, why the corn products? just curious.


:thumbsup

That diet takes some major willpower imo. Congrats.

i'm doing p90x and am 62 days in, i posted a thread a couple weeks ago showing my results so far. http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=...highlight=p90x


i strongly recommend it. insanity looks good but i have not actually done it.

I'm 28

Was slowly adding the workload, wasn't exactly in athletic shape when I started, so I started burning 400 calories per one session and then went up a hundred every month

There's no real reason apart from that I like the taste, which is kind of important if your diet is as monotonous as mine is :)

gotcha, your skin should certainly tighten up in no time then, quick weightloss will do that.

not bad, congrats dude :thumbsup

I'm two weeks from finishing P90X (this is my second attempt - did the first two phases last year before summer and beach volleyball started) and have been swapping yoga and kempo sometimes for Insanity since week five and have been doubling almost every day with Insanity for the last few weeks. (I'm only doing that because 90 day pics are coming up and I'm trying to finish strong. It's not because I've gone insane :) ).

I would say Insanity is great for overall conditioning. If you're just looking for that, you don't need any weights and it's just about putting the time in. You just need to be humble because they're tough. Like really, really tough. I haven't finished a workout without big breaks. What it lacks is the focus on strength training.

P90X at least gives you a terrific overall workout. You have variety, instruction, and as long as you have the equipment, you can build a solid body without paying huge amounts for a trainer. I think that's the big difference. The average person would need a trainer in order to put a workout that's that comprehensive together.

For me, combining the two are where it's at. I've seen great progress so far. As a case in point, I did chest, shoulders and tris this morning. This workout started in week five and I was able to do a total of 52 pushups by then. Today I was able to do 91. Once the 90 days are over, though, I'm putting yoga back in the mix. I hate it. It's the hardest workout IMO. For that reason alone, I need to do more of it.

the yoga is a killer, + it's 90 minutes--- eeeeeeeowww!

No kiddin - I think I lasted 10 minutes the first time I tried it. Once you know where the balance postures come in, though, it gives you something to hold out for.... but that's like 40 minutes of pain. eeeeeeeeeowwww is right.

my balance muscles were in the worst shape when i started, hell, i could not even do the leg routine without holding on to something. i had to swap the cardio routine for the yoga for many weeks but am doing the yoga now, cept for those crazy poses like *crane* !!

but i do see how the yoga adds a lot to the exercise program, hell, i am soaked with sweat after the asana/vinyasa and have to break for a bit prior to starting the balance section.

1. It looks like your boobs are getting bigger.

2. It looks like you are sucking in your gut in those after pics.

Me too. I want to get back into it... I'm just so focused on the cardio that I want to crush it till the 90 days are up. That's fantastic you're keeping on it, though. And from your thread, it looks like it's working out pretty well so far ;)

thanks man! will you be posting your results here in a couple weeks? i wouldn't mind seeing how you did, this sorts of threads are great motivation!

:thumbsup

I was thinking of trying the Survivor diet. 39 days on 1 cup of rice and 1 piece of fruit per day, hehe. What could possibly go wrong?

3. It looks like I'm a devil himself also

never will you sweat so much while doing seemingly so little.

Great progress for only 3 months man, I've been trying to get in shape for 3 yrs and haven't accomplished as much as you have

I'm hoping by before and after pics are like this.

Congrats Carlos, very cool! :thumbsup

No... I won't post here. :) I'll keep that for YouTube and a little blog I run for fun. If I can remember (and my memory is crap) I'll try and ping ya when I post.

You said it. Does anyone know if regular yoga classes are like that? It just seems... cruel.

nice !! :thumbsup

do I have to read your novel or no

You're inspiring me Carlos!!! I need to get in shape and I didn't have as much fun as you did. See you soon?

2 pages and no nudes?
ok ok I read it ALL
great results in 90 days !

Congrats Dude.

I just started working out again too but im only 190 when I should be 170 so not too far downhill haha. Hoping to have results like you have seen.

Keep it up!

Find something else that you like with some nutritional value and get rid of the corn and corn products, for the most part its just empty calories.

man sauce has protein lots of it!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice work

Damn that is impressive bro. Keep at it and keep posting your updates!

Keep taking progress pics and write in detail about your strategies in a journal/blog format.

When you're done, you can write an ebook, promote it with your journal entries, and make a million bucks!

Wow, great results so far! Congrats on getting your health back!

Have Juicy give you a spray tan and an all over body waxing and you'll look even cutter.

I'm sure they will! Thanks!

Just beware of the cougar hunters in the gym! :winkwink: I should be in Amsterdam in the fall.

No nudes that would flaw the impression :winkwink:

I was promised naked pics too. I have no idea what I am doing in this thread. :(


WELL DONE CARLOS! Looking good, keep up the good work!!

Well done Carlos. Wish you well in the future and keep it up.

Not bad not bad.... you must feel much batter and healthy now. :)

Not one person I know has gone the full cycle...to the letter I mean. Are you working on that right now?

Well done man :thumbsup

Yep - two weeks away from grad day for P90X and in week three of Insanity. But I haven't been able to do it to the letter. It's going to end up taking me close to four months to hit the 90 days. The last six weeks have been pretty solid, though.

very impressive and inspiring!
which reminds me I have gym membership

great work, i need to loose some k's as well

Drop the exercise routine and stick with the empty sexual encounters. That's exercise enough!

Big UPS Carlos, damn I'm now 1.5 years here in Czech Rep and also gained a lot of weight probably from the good beers, food here, too many hrs behind the computer and no exercises. Anyway you gave me some inspiration :) I have here a full gym gear and will start one of these days.

Congrats Carlos!

I've slacked off on my diet over the last 90 days focusing on work. I have still been working out, but I let my diet get the best of me.

Your progress has motivated me more. Stay tuned for my 90 days update now!

Congrats!

nice job! Very impressive 2 month work!

surprised to see so much corn on your diet when it is supposed to be uber fattening.

i cut out processed flowers but not wheat, steer off starchy things like carrots and potatoes and do well :)

holy shit that's impressive. props.

Good work!

Btw, how in the world do one get rid of that "last skin/fat" around the belly area? I mean, that is a drag to get rid of!

Been working out myself a lot and that is the part that seems the toughest and also the part that comes back first if I get lazy.

Any good suggestions from someone that has actually managed to get rid of that part?

i am successfully attacking that now. i went from 16% bf to ~10% and then stopped.

based on my calcs, that leaves only 5-7 pounds of fat left to hit my goal of ~8% bf. i've had to cut fats down to ~10%, added an extra cardio routine to my training 3x a week. i added this 2 weeks ago and have started losing bf again, about 1/2% (3/4 pound) without any loss in LBM. so my carb-protein-fat ratio is now 45-45-10 split b/w 3 balanced meals eaten prior to 6 pm + 3 snacks (protein shakes)

i'd fuck with you
