Agreed on Shawna. She is tops in my power rankings. That chick in the Back and Bis workout has a cuteness to her as well. Draya and Pam scare me... and Audra seems like a robot.

Audra is kinda cute too... :oops: but yeah...a little robotic...but a smokin' body!

is Audra the chick with a mouth full of chicklets? :?

Did arms/triceps/abs workout today...I still have a hard time with the push-ups :(

The beach body website is a little creepy, every week I get more BB coaches friending me...it is nice to see the 'results' page though...gives me motivation to keep going.

I did p90x last year and loved it. I'm doing Insanity now..and it is just that. It makes p90x's Plyometrics seem like a brisk walk!

I was gonna look into Insanity...but Plyo is one of my least favorite workouts.

Mammasan? are you reading this? what do you think of Insanity?

cbg-you may be able to torrent TurboFire...not that I am endorsing to do anything like that... :?

Kenpo for me tomorrow...I kinda like itI like it better than Plyo and Yoga. I even bought a weighted hula hoop the other day...'for funsies'...thanks a lot Leezestar313 :evil:

Just saw this, sorry!!

Well I haven't done P90x, so I'm not sure how they compare to each other. All I know is that in the first month the Insanity workouts (including warmup) are about 45 minutes long. And in that 45 minutes I tend to burn about 900 - 1000 calories. The 2nd month kicks it up to about 60 minute sessions. They are tough and you'll be a sweaty mess by the end of the warmup, BUT they go by quickly and within 2 weeks you feel much stronger and can tell a difference. I like that everything is done with your own body weight but it truly is the toughest workout I've ever done. There's lots of jumping, squatting, and push-ups - every day is very heavy on cardio, so if you don't like cardio, then you won't like Insanity.

I definitely want to try P90x next, it seems much more varied!

In Kenpo (kickboxing) I burn about 800-900 calories. I'll see how much I burn in Plyo tomorrow.
I did catch Dr. Oz the other day, and Shawn T was on. He did a quick segment on Insanity...def more jumping around than my knees would let me do. For cardio, I'd rather swim laps or get on the elliptical. I really like the switch-up between the workouts, strength training one day, cardio the next, yoga thrown in...I can tell my flexibility is much better.

Shaun T is quite hysterical too - at one point he's doing stretches and you have to pull your leg up to your chest and he says "Shaun T's leg won't go any higher up because my glutes are too big" At least there's some comedic relief! But it sounds like you're doing great with P90x, so stick with it! When I'm done with Insanity I'll have to try it out and will come back for tips!

The beach body website is a little creepy, every week I get more BB coaches friending me...it is nice to see the 'results' page though...gives me motivation to keep going.

Maybe I got the name wrong...
Yeah, Chicklets girl is who I meant! She sure is purdy!

That coach thing is the one drawback there. Its some weird pyramid scheme, but easy to overcome. Im thinking of doing a 3-day Shakeology Cleanse and one of those dudes is cutting me a deal, which is cool.

The chicklets girl is on the legs/back one. There is some drawback to her I cant put my finger on. Maybe she is a bit lanky? too tan? Too Louisiana? Her face also resembles a male friend of mine which is a bit creepy.

Well, until I meet your male friend to ruin her face....I'm sayin' she hot!

I will be finishing up my 5th week on Wednesday...I was bad and didn't take 'Day 1' pics (I hate getting my pic taken :oops: ) But I did take pics last week.

Hope to lose some weight in the next few weeks. Having a hard time eating back all the calories I burn now. :?

Interesting article.

Did you notice it said he lives with his girlfriend Shawna? That better not be the Shawna from the video!! She's MINE Horton!!!

Im at the halfway point (Day 45). Doing pretty good. Definitely made a lot of progress. I start a new hockey season this week and marathon training in 2 weeks so it is going to get tricky now.

I am probably going to do a p90x hybrid/Insanity program immediately after. Ill probably stick some insanity workouts in there in place of Plyos and Kenpos. There are a bunch people made on the site. Im not too familiar with the individual Insanity workouts, so Ill need the assistance.

Sick of Yoga. Not that I don't like it...90 minutes is a pain in the ass!

Try hot yoga some time - also known as Bikram. I've gotten into this and it's pretty awesome, not gonna lie. 90 minutes in 105 degree heat with humidity. And, yes, I'm a dude.

I just tried some basic yoga moves for the first time last night and it had me sweating more than a brisk 20 walk.

me too! I don't mind the first 45 minutes, but after that it's kind of meh. I'm ready to move on.

I really like the Yoga the more I do it.
