My review of P90x3...so far

My husband and I began the original P90x at the beginning on Novemeber.  We were loving it.  We did it together every night (which was really fun).  We were definitely starting to see changes but the inevitable was looming. The holiday season. We kept looking at all the things on our calendar each night in December and we were wondering how in the world we were going to fit in an hour+ every night with all that was going on.  

Insert our answer--P90x3.  It was released December 10th and I ordered the minute it was available.  Same results in 30 minutes a day? I am ALL about that.  

I began to preview the workouts December 15.  I wanted to get a feel for the moves, the rhythm of the workouts for the group I was going to be working with the first of the year.  In just previewing them, for that week and a half I lost 3 pounds. Crazy, right?? And then Christmas happened and I all came back on! ;)  But what I knew, was that this program was going to transform people's bodies.  The combination of weight training and cardio was great.  Each day was a completely different workout which I love because I have a tendency to get bored.

I officially started the program with my group and husband January 6th. I went with the classic version.  I am into the third week of the program.  You repeat the same workouts for weeks 1-3 before going into a transition week and then the next phase of workouts. 

Classic: Phase 1

Total Synergistics

Agility X

X3 Yoga

The Challenge

CVX (love this one!)

The Warrior

Rest day or Dynamix

 

X3 Yoga

I have followed that program for the first two weeks and opted to do dynamix both weeks versus resting.  Dynamix is a great workout that focuses on stretching while moving.  I feel like it really prepares me and loosens me up for the upcoming week.  After the first two weeks I have lost 4 pounds.  My husband has lost 8!  Besides losing the weight, I am noticing more definition in my arms and legs, my core is definitely tightening up too.  My husband has lost inches off his waist and his face looks less puffy.  

Our oldest decided to jump in and do the Warrior with us! Love setting that example

I mentioned I am leading a group too and the group members are losing.  But more than the scale, there are all these other victories happening! They are gaining strength, doing more reps, modifying fewer moves, taking less breaks.  

So you are thinking, "that's great, Bekah but you worked out before.  I can  not do that."

That is where you are WRONG! (I say that in complete love y'all!)

The group I am working with is about 20 people.  We have people as young as early twenties to mid fifties.  We have former athletes and non-athletes.  We have moms of teens and moms of toddlers.  We have people that want to add weight, people that want to maintain and tone, and people with weigh to get rid of! All ages, all fitness backgrounds, all starting at different places.  The commonality--they are all getting RESULTS!! 

Pros of P90x3:

-modification for every move

-you DON'T actually need a lot of equipment

-can be done easily in your home

-so  many different workouts (16 total)

-nutrition program that helps accelerate results

-4 different plans that you can choose from to follow.  

-Tony's humor :) (if you like corny jokes!)

Cons of P90x3:

There is seriously not one thing I can say negatively about this program.  It offers enough variety to combat boredom.  It offers ways to everyone to find success.  

Sometimes you just don't match when you have to get an early workout in
