It's hard to get off the vacation pounds!

Curious....are Power 90 and P90X one in the same or different?

My brother is doing P90X and says the videos mean business, but are totally worth it. Most average about an hour and the results are impressive.

They are from the same company. Power 90 would be the one you would like to start with. It would be the step up to the P90X. They both are very good. Do not get P90X until you are ready. It also last about an hour. Power 90 ranges from 30 min. to 45. When I mentioned 20 minutes I was talking about a few other videos that I have depending on my time. I have hundreds and have found for me that is the way to go. I get a complete body workout in a short time. Just push play and do the video.
If you really want to transform your body, get Power 90 and follow the instruction right down to taking the before, 45 day and after pics. Your before and after pics will shock you. I would post mine if my before was not so embarrassing. BTW, the food choices are as critical as the workout. Good Luck!

Does it require a lot of workout space? I did a video a couple of years ago that require so much space that I had to rearrange my furniture every day!

I was wondering what Bobby's secret was....

South beach diet. It works and will change your eating habits for the good. Whole wheat!

I don't lose any weight on South Beach. The EggBeaters, salads with poultry, and V8 juice get really old. I miss my Cheerios in the AM and turkey sandwiches for lunch. Dinner without carbs makes me want to gnaw my arm off by about 8 PM.

I think that I need the carbs just to have the energy to exercise.

Not really that much. Lunges may take the most space but that is really all.
One lunge forward, squats in the middle and then one more lunge and turn back around. So three large steps forward then turn so not really that much.

Thanks for posting. I've wondered about these and didn't want to take the fnancial hit to find out if they were worthwhile. It is time to get ready for an October adventure race and this could be just the addition I need to the bike/"run"/paddle I've been doing.

There are a couple of them out there though. Which one are you talking about? There is the power90 boot camp that is like 6 dvds and then Power90 that is three workouts. I suppose either would be good, huh.

For anyone who read my TR, you know that we ate tons of great food while in SoWal for 2 weeks. Well, I will have been home for 2 weeks tonight and have only lost half of the lbs that I gained on vacation!! It's sooooo much harder to lose it than it was to put it on. Clearly it was MUCH more fun to put on the lbs than to take them off, too!!

I've been awake for almost an hour now putting off my morning trip to the gym; I guess it's time to get off the computer and get into my gym shoes!

NO! NO! NO! Stop all this losing weight crap. Those pounds were fun and expensive to pack on, wear them with pride!

Power 90. It is two Cd's. The first Cd is 1-2 cardio and 1-2 strength. you rotate these until you work to the second CD which is 3-4 cardio and 3-4 strength. You also do abs on cardio day. very easy program to follow. I just turn the tunes up real loud and don't listen to him any more. By the end of it you are ready to kill Tony Horton. Good stuff.

I have the P90X series....it's expensive, but well worth it if you actually do it.
It is more intense that the power 90, and it does require you to have things like dumbbells or straps, chair, pull up bar, yoga mat...etc.

I think if you want to see easy results, quickly, I would stick with the power 90...then maybe advance to the P90X.

At any rate, no matter what you choose- if you stick with something, you're going to see results.
