Power 90 workout

**Guru** · 07-05-2007, 03:12 PM

If you are looking for a non-dancing and straightforward workout I would highly recommend Power 90. I have only done a few days now but it is one hell of a workout and is manageable for a beginner. It has corny music but the instructor explains everything throughout the workout and for the most part does not get all up in your face like other TV workouts do.

Cardio Sweat does just that. You WILL sweat but won't be super exhausted either.

Power Sculpt will not draw out the sweat as much but you will feel it the next day.

Ab sculpter 100 will really test you though. 10 different ab exercises of 10 reps each. 10 second breaks.

I would consider this the perfect workout for a guy.

I'm doing it too.. I lost 40 pounds a couple years ago on it. This time I'll keep it off..

Tony is an annoying punk tho..

I just started p90x, which is the same guy.
Pretty rough.

I have heard P90X is ridiculous tough. Hell, I couldn't pass the pull ups test.

i stick to free weights.. just curios how many pull ups were you able to do guru? I can do 21 at one time and thats about where i max out (have long arms).. real good exercise for the traps and delts as well as the lats.. probably the best exercise you can do to build up the entire upper body.

The test is for full wide pull-ups. You are required to do at least 3 to pass. I didn't pass. But I have never been good at pull up either.

P90X is cool, I've got it.

The Plyo will kick your A$$!!!

I will be looking for a change when I am done with P90. I plan to tackle P90X at that point. They say you should be able to easily handle X when you are done with 90.

Hopefully the price will be cheaper by then. Can't believe they can charge $135 incl s/h for any exercise video.

I am assuming you bought it anyway.

We actually have our football players doing it every morning for part of their summer conditioning. Afterwards we run their asses off.

NOpe. I tried the pull ups first. When I couldn't complete 2 I decided not to bother with the rest of the test. Even P90X states that if you cannot pass any one part of their test to start with P90 and come back.

I have shoulder issues right now anyway, due to an injury, so it is probably better this way.

Man, people make fitness too complicated. Ever heard the phrase keep it simple stupid? It really does apply to fitness, it is not rocket science. But none the less, if one needs a program from corporate america to motivate them then it is doing it's job. Body for life is a real good program for cutting. I would highly recommend that.

**TinyEvel** · 07-05-2007, 11:46 PM

Yeah, but for a workout routine you can REALLY make use of, I recommend either a treadmill, orbital or Powerglider. That way, you'll have something to hang your jacket or other clothes on year-round.

I have done Body for Life. It works. It is just too much for me to handle now. Didn't like the workouts at all.

ONe key to this is you have to at least somewhat enjoy what your are doing.

consistency is another big thing guru. you wont see the results at first.. but keep at it and youll get the type of body you want. oh and the stats thing i asked you flew right over your head

i was asking your muscle stats. but you probably dont measure you muscles do you...
