GO from Fat to Fit in as little as 90 days and stay fit! Real life transformation to health and fitness through proper nutrition and exercise based on the extreme home fitness program P90X.
I want a six-pack! Who doesn't want to get into the best shape of their life and have the perfect abdominal section. A strong hard core has everything to do with strength, power, performance and your health. If your midsection is weak, guess what...you're probably not benefiting like you could from this crucial center of power, agility and balance.
Using the P90X program has provided me, and several friends I know, (in the picture to the right, thanks Toni & Matt) with the perfect way to develop my core strength. If you neglect the core muscles that consist of your abdominal and back muscles, the oblique side muscles, the transverse abdominis muscles that wrap around your torso, you are at significantly higher risk of pain and injury. If you have lower back pain and want to reduce or virtually eliminate it, then you must improve your spinal flexibility by going hard core with exercise.
However, I won't promise or guarantee you a six-pack if you fail to clean up your diet. Exercise and nutrition go hand in hand. I had a huge belly at a whopping 47 inches of fat when I started this journey on February 1st, 2011. If I had continued down that path of obesity from overeating and poor nutritional food, it's most certain I would have developed cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney ailments, joint pain and a host of other conditions that medical doctors have linked to weight gain and bad diet. Carrying all the extra belly fat was just a real pain and was becoming a major problem for me.
Fast forward 6 months and today I'm trimmed down to a respectable 34 inch waist! (I'll post updated pictures of my progress after August 1st) I have the creator of P90X, Tony Horton, to thank for giving me the program that brings results. It offers a variety of core exercises that improved my posture, enhanced my body movements, strengthened and defined my abdominal and lower back muscles and is flattening my tummy! I don't have a six-pack yet, but I'm working on it hard and daily. Here's a video below that I put together of my workout today with a montage of the variety that's offered in the Core Synergistics Workout from Beach Body.
I ended my fat trend, I know you can too!

If you want to improve your strength, endurance and stamina within a matter of weeks, you simply need to eat healthy and move your body! I have noticed that over time, my workouts have dramatically improved and I am able to train with more intensity.
In the following videos I demonstrate several of the key workouts outlined in the P90X DVD's. This particular routine is called Cardio X and consists of warm up followed by 4 workout sessions and a cool down. It burns calories BIG TIME and leaves me feeling exhilirated! When I started out, my shirt was dry and at the end, well, you'll see. That's not spray on folks!! I'm working hard and I know you are too, so let's get started.
