Why should I workout at Home.

1.It saves time. This is the number one reason I believe. This means that you spend all your workout time working out and not fighting your way through traffic.

2. It is much cheaper to workout at home. When you buy your equipment that is it and gym memberships are very expensive. Also you save money on petrol.

3. You are in the privacy of your are in the privacy of your own home. This means you don't have to worry about what people think or waste your workout time talking to people

P90X help!


I believe P90X is the best fitness program on the planet, but it is defiantly not easy. Here are my tips to getting awesome results

  1. Get your nutrition sorted. With out this you can do nothing, as Tony says abs are made in the kitchen.
  2. Do Your Best and Forget the rest. P90X is extremely difficult and most people, even the fittest won't have worked out this hard in their lives, so don't worry if you can't keep up at the start or the end, all that matters is that you are continuously improving. 
  3. Keep pressing play even if you don't feel like it. Some days we just don't feel like working out, but just need to get it done, and I promise by the end you will be bringing it.
  4. Do the Yoga. To me it is the most important day of the week and doing it will accelarate your results. 

P90x for teens

What age can I start P90X? or will P90X affect by growth or lead me to get injured if I start to early are common questions. It has been proven in many studies that weight training has no affect on a young persons growth or cause them to get injured.
So does that mean I can start at any age? No the problem is P90X is an extreme program and if you have had no experience with weight training you will probably do the exercises with bad form and cause you to get injured.
So what would my advise be.
If you have no experience of weight lifting and are out of shape start with Power 90 before going into P90X so you can get in good shape and learn correct form in many different kinds of exercise. If you are already in good shape i.e. you play sports regularly you should be all right to start P90X but start with light weights to learn the form so you do not get injured.

Time Table

11-13: Power 90
13-15: P90X if you already an athlete or Power 90 for beginers.
15 onwards: start P90X only if you are in half decent shape.

How to make Yoga X more interesting.

P90X's most talked about routine is Yoga X and not always for good reasons. Many complain that it is boring but as Tony says that Yoga is the fountain of Youth.
So how do I make Yoga X not boring?
Firstly by realize the befits of Yoga to your fitness. Fitness by getting more flexible and as Tony Horton says improves all aspects of your fitness. This will make you want to do.

Secondly find something to take your mind off it. Whether it is listening to music or your favorite website or even making it a time when you can listen to your favorite radio program or sports program.

Find alternatives
Get Fountain of Youth Yoga from Tony Horton One on One Volume one. At half the length it is a good option for those who do not have the time. Also liveexercise.com produces a high quality Yoga video every week and the instructor is very good.

Get the right equipment. If you are starting yoga and don't have a yoga block of course you are going to find it too hard, so make life easier for your self and probably the best place to get one is from Amazon.

P90x recovery drink in the UK

Unfortunately you can not get the p90x recovery drink from Beachbody in the UK yet but there is other just as good alternatives.
The best I have found is Gold's Gym's Sport's Recovery. It comes in two flavours, Chocolate and Strawberry. Each serving has 40g serving has protein and fast absorbing Carbs and Creatine. Each 1kg container has 26 servings. The cheapest place is from Amazon.co.uk
