I started my first round of P90X on December 31, 2008. It wasn’t a New Year’s Resolution, that just happened to be the day I started. Before that, I was not a fan of exercise. I didn’t know how or what to do, and saw no purpose in figuring it […]
WOW…I did not like this workout! Not because it’s not absolutely amazing, but because I felt so completely out of shape with it. I don’t think any amount of Insanity can prepare someone for Vertical Plyo. My goals with Vertical Plyo is not only to be able to get through […]
A fit body creates a calm mind, a healthy soul and so much more!! Since I learned from my nutritionist how to eat right and found effective exercise programs, life seems a lot easier and happier for me. I would struggle daily with many ordinary things, my attitude was poor, […]
I love using the P90X Nutrition Guide and the Insanity Elite Nutrition guide for recipes. Since I love to cook, I often make my own versions of the recipes. Last night we had breakfast for dinner. The night before I had made a salad with cubed chicken and […]
I get asked a lot of questions about supplements. Do I need them? Will they help my results? What should I take? When should I take them? Do you take any? The short answers: No, yes, varies, varies, yes. There you have it. Have a great week! Wish it was […]
This morning marked Day 15 of Insanity for my husband and me. Day 15 means another Fit Test! I was really excited to see if I had made any improvements from the first Fit Test. So down to the basement we went at an early morning hour. I’ll tell […]
I anxiously awoke at 5am this morning to start my 1st day of Insanity: The ASYLUM to realize there is also a performance test to take before beginning the program. The Performance test goes through 10 different activities that you can compare every 30 days. Undeterred I decided to go […]
You want to lose weight. You watch Biggest Loser, see them running the treadmill, sweating away pounds. You run 3-4 times a week and eat foods they advertise, Subway, Jenny-O, etc. And yet, your weight barely changes or remains the same. What’s missing? Variety! Do you watch ALL of the […]
My husband and I just finished week 2 of Insanity! Yay! We start our next Fit Test on Monday and I can’t wait to see if there are improvements. I can already see improvements with my husband’s form, flexibility and coordination. We’re making our way to the Asylum!! Its recommended […]
I’ve been wanting to write this post for a while now. But didn’t have the time LOL! Seriously, I get so many people who tell me they really want to get in shape, but the number one excuse is not having the time. Of course I feel that […]
I am the real deal. I don’t mean that in a conceited, cocky way though. Here’s what I mean, I’m a real person, a real woman, real wife, real mother. I don’t have help around the house except for my husband when he’s home from work. I have 4 kids […]
Last Spring I saw an infomercial for Insanity that claimed to be the hardest program out to date, and only for those who are driven to put themselves through a purely rigorous program with no excuses. I thought to myself “I can do that!†I was going to be turning […]
One of the best ways to look and feel great and make your exercise routine more efficient is by eating healthy foods. Healthy foods give us the energy we need to perform properly mentally and physically, and build muscle during our workouts. Eating healthy is sometimes tricky since supermarkets […]
The first thing most people say when they think about starting P90X or they just purchased it is “the workouts seem so long!” Well, yes, they do seem long, but compared to getting yourself dressed, in the car and off to the gym, then start your routine, towel off and […]
P90X is not a weight loss program, yet most people lose weight by doing it. This is because most of those people begin the program with more body fat than they’re happy with, and getting ripped means they’ve lost body fat and weight. But some people want more. They want […]
Being consistently committed to a healthy lifestyle can sometimes be hard. I follow a strict meal plan, exercise regularly and try to make the right choices most times when it comes to my health routine, especially living with hypoglycemia. Recently, I was reminded how crucial it is to keep on […]
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!! Ice cream is so yummy, but a big no-no for lots of people. It could be because they have blood sugar issues, or gluten, lactose and digestive issues or maybe trying to avoid the fat and calories associated with […]
You’re probably wondering which honey to use to get you through those Insanity workouts. Organic, local, imported… No, not that type of honey! I’m talking about your “honey.” Whether its your spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or your kids, having someone close to you with the same goals can really […]

I’ve been trying to post this for two days, and I just realized that’s a good thing. I had originally entitled it, “Why, How and What” but fortunately changed the subject. Had I gotten it done yesterday, I would not have read Darren Hardy’s article about the May […]
I am paying the price this week for my all out assault on cleaning the house. The garage itself is completely finished but not heated, so in the colder months it tends to accumulate all of the things that we just couldn’t throw away. Well, that all changed […]

“Loved it. Great ride. I’m in my self-imposed recovery mode this week. I’m mainly doing Fat Burning Express and numerous Ten Minute Trainers. I’ll do at least one Sweat 3-4 too. I’ll weigh myself on Thursday, and I expect the scale to be 186’ish. Last week, […]
What happens if you have a bad day and miss a scheduled workout or don’t feel like you put in a good effort? Yesterday I was scheduled to do P90X Shoulders & Arms and even though it was 6:00 am, I was already having a really bad day. In […]

How do you feel about where your life is going right now? I am currently on my sixth day of another round of P90X and I already feel empowered. I feel stronger and fitter and have a better mental attitude because I am going in a positive direction […]
P90X day 5 is Legs & Back and I loved it! I didn’t need Tony Horton to motivate me or inspire me like he did yesterday with Yoga X. Today was exactly what I wanted to do – work my legs hard to give me a strong foundation […]
Do I have a secret weapon that I use to keep my busy schedule with parenting, working , working out and living life to the fullest each day. It is no secret that my faith is an integral part of my life, but is there anything else that I […]

Honestly if I am doing another Beachbody workout program in between rounds of P90X, I don’t think much about the order of the P90X workouts. I auto schedule them in WOWY and whatever comes up in the first week is what it is. Today, when I saw that it […]
