Focus T25 or Insanity: The Asylum? Recently I was asked about how a couple of Shaun T’s fitness programs (Focus T25 & Insanity: The Asylum) compared to each other. I felt that this was great question and perhaps on that many others might have as well. Note: A comparison could be made with the original […]
P90X3 – Complex Lower – Review Like Ab Ripper and the Complex Upper routines, Complex Lower is part of the Elite series of workouts and it definitely lives up to the name of Elite! Complex Lower is a fairly basic, straight-forward workout that is only comprised of 5 different exercises that you perform consecutively for […]
P90X3 Ab Ripper – Review Anyone who has heard of P90X is probably familiar with the Ab Ripper X routine. “I hate it, but I love it!”. I remember the first time I tried that routine back in 2009 and I felt like I was a failure. I think I got through the workout, but […]
P90X3 – Eccentric Lower – Review Want a challenging lower body workout that isn’t just a bunch of squats and lunges? Eccentric Lower is a great routine that will introduce you to some exercises that you may or may not have seen before. Focusing on the negative portion of the lift, you’ll be feeling the […]
Hey Team! So, I’m a day late here – my apologies. We had a lot going on this past weekend and I didn’t plan well enough to allow myself time to get this week’s Check-In done. Who has been catching the Winter Olympics? While I’m not a big Winter Olympics fan, it is fun to […]
Hey Team! Who watched the Super Bowl last night? What a great game! Well, if you were a Seahawks fan it was anyway… Since Peyton Manning has his roots here in Colts country, I was really glad to see him make it back to this game. Alas, the game wasn’t anything like I thought it […]

Hey Team! Check-in Highlights For all of the team members located in the Midwest, are you guys staying warm enough…? SHEESH! It’s been one of the coldest winters that I can recall in recent years. Our kiddos have had more school closings and 2-hour delays since they’ve been in school. Block 1 of P90X3 is […]
P90X3 – Accelerator – Review Accelerator is a cardio workout and it is first introduced during the recovery week of Block 1. However, don’t let the fact that this workout is part of the recovery week fool you into thinking it is going to be a walk in the park. This routine is a full […]
DYI Pull-up Bar Back in 2009 when I first started P90X, I was using a doorway pull-up bar, not that much different than the P90X Chin-Up Bar. That worked well enough while I was working out in the various rooms in my house. Once I started working out in my garage about a year or […]
P90X3 – Dynamix – Review This is your recovery workout! As tempting as it might be, don’t skip this one – you’ll feel so much better afterwards. This isn’t just a stretching routine, but a more active stretch routine that incorporates flexibility and strength. If you have done P90X2, you should be familiar with the […]
Hey Team! The first week of P90X3 is officially in the books and I thought it was awesome! Even though the routines are only 30 minutes, they definitely make the most out of that time. Check out the video reviews that I have posted that cover all of the routines from the first week here […]
P90X3 – The Warrior – Review This is a Total Body workout, but no equipment or weights are required. An interval style workout with 16 moves that are broken down into block of 4 exercises; upper body, interval/cardio, core and lower body. A lot of these moves will be entirely new to you but they are […]
P90X3 – The Challenge – Review It doesn’t get much simpler than this routine. Pull-ups and Push-ups – that’s it! 8 sets of each with varying hand positions and grips. This is definitely a tough workout if you pick a set of numbers that “challenge” you. This is a great workout for you 30/15 fans! Choose […]
P90X3 – Total Synergistics – Review Total Synergistics is a complete resistance workout from head to toe! There are only 16 moves in this 30 minute routine, but if you REALLY push yourself, you will definitely feel it by the end. Several of the moves may be entirely new to you and you may struggle […]
Hey Team! This will be the final Check-In for 2013 – crazy how fast the year has gone by! Take some time this week to think about the past year and all of the things that have occurred in your life. How would you rank 2013 among recent years past? For me, 2013 was pretty […]
P90X3 – CVX – Review Do you get bored with traditional cardio? How about trying some cardio with weights? That’s what CVX is all about, resistance cardio! This is a full 30-minute workout with no-warm-up, you jump right into the routine. Go light with the weight if this is your first time through this workout, […]
P90X3 – Yoga – Review Does the even the sound of the word “Yoga” send shivers down your spine? Well, I’ll admit that was the case for me as well at one time. I actually enjoy it now, though it still isn’t my first choice of workout routines. With P90X, the Yoga routine was 90 […]
P90X3 – Incinerator – Review Today’s P90X3 workout was Incinerator – an upper body workout with both dumbbell and body weight resistance training. A great workout in 30 minutes! Have you done this routine? If so, comment below with your thoughts. Ready to give P90X3 a try yourself? Start with just the program or […]
Hey Team! How’s everyone doing this week? Have you started your Christmas countdown yet? As some of you know, I’ve got younger kids and they really get into the whole countdown thing – it’s a lot of fun. I got a bit of an early x-mas gift this past week, a TV for my workout […]
