Round-1 Nutrition

I have been doing P90X for over a year now and I have even tossed in some Insanity: The Asylum for some added fun. My nutrition has changed many times depending on my goals and as of late I have been focused on My Mass Gain Diet.  So I wanted to take a step back and go over what I did in...

Hungry

Yesterday I gave you all some advice on what to do if you are feeling “full” all the time on My 1900 Calorie Diet. Well, there is always the opposite side of the coin because not everyone has the same body type and metabolism as the Joe sitting next to them. So today I wanted...

P90X Nutrition Phases

Fanatic Here!

Working out every day and eating clean is just a way of life for me now. It seems as normal to me as going to work, cleaning the house, or making breakfast for my kids in the morning – its a discipline that I have developed into habit over time. I will tell you though, it was NOT...

Should I Work Out Sick?

Should I work out sick? This is a question that all of us, at some point will have to ask ourselves. I have noticed that most of the time, I can get through a workout if the ailment is minor enough. Sometimes the workout even makes me feel better! But this is usually just a simple head...
