   i need an ab workout please help?
   i know about diet and nutrition and cardio i just need a ab workout i have this one but i want a new/improved one, standard crunch 2 sets of 10 leg raise 2 sets of 15 Oblique crunch 2 sets of 25 bicycles crunch 3 sets of 15 cable crunch and oblique 2 sets of 20 then bicycle crunch 2 sets MAX REPS.

   • ANSWER:
     You need to switch up your exercises. Don’t do the same thing every day, or your body will get used to them and stop feeling the effects of them. Search the internet for some exercises(youtube, yahoo, etc.) and do some of them one day, then others the next and so on. Always remember to think about engaging your core when you do your exercises, or everything you’ve done wont really matter. Hold them in tight. I would also suggest a lot of running and such. A great way to get in shape fast, and to feel a lot better about your body is to take a dance class. There are a lot of stretches and body strength exercises, and then some fun dance moves. That’s how I got in shape, and I can’t stop working out! I love it!

3. QUESTION:
   Need some serious help with my workouts?
   Okay I need some help with my abs. Don’t get me wrong, you can see about four cuts right now and the bottom one a little bit. I do my abs every day for about 45 minutes and at the gym I do them as well. My home workout which I do every day consists of 250 bicycle crunches straight, 200 crunches with 5 pound dumbbells in each hand (sets of 50), 75 leg raises straight, 150 reverse crunches. At the gym I do weighted sit ups as much as I can do and I increase the weight after every set. Same with cable crunches and the ab machine. I have been doing this for about a month and half – two months and I am just not getting the abs I truly desire. AND YES I DO CARDIO ALMOST EVERY DAY AND I PLAY HOCKEY.
   I am a male 16 years old.
   And no I am not overdoing it because my abs don’t get sore, I have high muscle endurance.
   Are you stupid? I said I don’t over train because I know what that is. No nerves are damaged I have high muscle endurance with all my muscles. I never get sore anywhere after the gym.

6. QUESTION:
   What Are Three Good Ab Exercises That I Can Start Using?
   I have been on a four day workout routine for a while, but I think I could stand to change up my ab workout. As of now, I usually do 3 sets of 15 leg raises (with velcro packs strapped to my ankles), 3 sets of 15-20 crunches and a cable oblique exercise (not sure how to describe it). I would really appreciate it if someone could give me 3 or 4 ab exercises for upper and lower abdominals and obliques that I could start using. Thanks

7. QUESTION:
   Has anyone got any good ab exercises? Im looking to change up my exercises a bit! x?
   I work out my abs alot, and they have very good deffinition, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some ab exercises to give my workout a little variation? On a regular basis I do:
   -Roman chair leg raises (with my legs straight not crunched)
   -Sit ups catching a medicine ball and throwing it back to my boyfriend
   -Oblique twists with a medicine ball
   -V-sit exercise
   -Plank on a balance ball
   -Jacknives
   -Cable russian twists
   -Barbell ab roll outs
   and the obvious use of ab crunch machines.

   How ever these are becoming tedious and after a while your body gets used to the same thing, has anyone got any suggestions to shock my body?
   any suggestions appreciated!

    • ANSWER:
      why don’t you ask your friend to show you or go over it with you.though just because it worked for them doesn’t mean it will work for you.We all have different bodies and not everything works the same way because we aren’t all the same height,weight or build. Also that doesn’t include diet etc, which does affect your health.

18. QUESTION:
    What do people think about this workout?
    I’m a 24 year old guy and have been lifting periodically over the past 8 years. I’m 5′ 10″ 175 lbs and looking just to lose a little fit and gain some muscle. What are people’s opinions on this 3-day split workout. On Day 1: bench press, pec flyes, pushups, lat pulldown, cable seated rows, lower back extensions, dumbbell side bends, calf raises, and ab crunches. On Day 2: squats, leg press, leg curls, overhead press, lateral raises, shrugs, calf raises, dumbbell side bends, ab crunches. On Day 3: hammer curls, barbell curls, concentration curls, close grip barbell press (triceps), triceps pushdown, pushups, calf raises, dumbbell sides bends, and ab crunches.

    • ANSWER:
      I think if you split it up to 4 days a week it would be your best bet.. IMO your doing too much work each day..
      This is my 4 day split routine and it works perfect and im seeing great results:
      Mon : Chest – Tricep
      Tues : Bicep – Back
      Wed : OFF
      Thurs : Shoulders – Chest – Traps
      Fri : Legs – (A lil bit of back, bicep and tricep)
      You can throw abs where ever you want
      This works for me might not works for you
      But if your not overtraining with all that workout i guess its alright

20. QUESTION:
    what is the best exercise to increase punching speed and power?
    so far i do shadowboxing, punch with dumbells, explosive benching, deadlifts, squats, rows, pullups, use ab machine, military press, polymetric pushups, workout obliques with 45 lbl weight, calve raises, knee ups, leg raises, do punches on cable machine, lat pulldown, lay down and throw 8lbl medicine ball in the air, cable crunches, and 30 min jog. I do this when i go to the gym. What other exercises will help alot ? Oh yea and i dont have a punching bag. THANK YOU GUUYS

    • ANSWER:
      You confuse strength with proper punching. I won’t repeat what I’ve posted many times on this subject. If you want to know my opinion (based on 42 years of martial arts training and research), you can look at my past answers.

2. QUESTION:
   Can i use P90x exercise to swap cardio trainig?
   Hi all..
   Can i use any of p90x exercises (cardio x, interval x….) to swap running, because outside is -10c ..
   I allready done kenpo x, but it is too easy for me.. I’m going to gym 3x a week, and i’m planning to put cardio betwean rest days.

   • ANSWER:
     I would suggest trying Plyometrics. I find it to be the toughest of the P90X cardio workouts. If you already own P90X, you know what I’m talking about.

     If you don’t already own it, you may want to look into one other program for cardio … TurboFire.

     It’s a high intensity kickboxing and interval training program. The benefit of this program is that most of the 12 DVDs are cardio focused whereas with P90X you only get a few cardio workouts to be used with the resistance workouts.

     Don’t get me wrong, P90X is a great program (I am in my second round). But it just sounds to me like you are looking more for just cardio options.

     There are a couple P90X One on One cardio options, but I have not used them so I can’t say too much about them.

     There is also the program from the Biggest Loser’s new trainer, Brett Hoebel. It’s called RevAbs. While it does have a more specific focus, he incorporates a lot of cardio; because we all know you need cardio to expose some great abs.

     I hope that helps a little.
     Feel free to get in touch with me if you have more specific questions.

3. QUESTION:
   Would the p90x cardio workout be safe to do in addition to cross country practices?
   and track practise, I dont want to over train and get worse, what days should I do it? after hard days, medium days or recovery days?

   • ANSWER:
     If you did it after hard days, what would you call those days, super-hard days? If you did it on recovery days would they still be recovery days? Ultimately nobody knows when they are crossing the fine line between training at their maximum capacity and training too much. You just have to be careful and watch out for the characteristics of overtraining:

     1) Decreased Physical Performance
     2) Heavy Legs
     3) Increased Resting Heart Rate
     4) Increased Susceptibility to Illness
     5) Chronic Muscle Soreness or Fatigue
     6) Slower Recovery
     7) Increased Perceived Exertion
     8) Loss of Enthusiasm for Running
     9) Change in Sleeping Pattern
     10) Loss of Appetite

4. QUESTION:
   How effective is the p90x cardio workout?
   If I do it 3-5 times a week, after my weight training workouts?

   • ANSWER:
     You should burn tons of fats. Its pretty intense.

5. QUESTION:
   How much can I lose from P90X in a week by simply doing the cardio?
   I heard some people gain rather than lose weight. Is this true ?! D;
   P90X. One Week. Cardio. Every day. Results ?

   • ANSWER:
     A LOT. Trust me, if you GAIN weight then you are not eating the right way. You need to burn more calories than you eat. Not the other way around. Its like filling your gas tank and puncturing your gas tank before heading from Miami to Atlanta.

6. QUESTION:
   How does the p90x cardio workout work? I run cross country, so would that replace that workout each day?

   • ANSWER:

7. QUESTION:
   How much more calories do you burn in the morning compared to at night doing cardio/p90x?
   I’m aware that you lose more carlories doing exercise in the morning, but how much more? Can anyone give me an estimate?

   • ANSWER:
     People peak energy wise at 6pm, thus individuals whom workout during the evening tend to burn more calories (because they are working themselves harder because they feel more motivated/less likely to fatigue/more energized) than individuals whom workout in the morning. This assumes both groups of people are similar on individual characteristics (fitness experience, weight, etc), and both groups did the same activity for the same amount of time.

     In the morning you go into “negative calories” faster because you’ve eaten less. Say you’ve eaten breakfast so far and that was 300 calories…and you workout and burn off 500. Versus at night you’ve eaten a total of (for example) 1,500 calories, and burn off 500.

8. QUESTION:
   When do i do the cardio video of the P90x workout?
   I got the dvds for P90x but i dont know when to follow the cardio workout.

   • ANSWER:
     If you go here: (http://bit.ly/cICqQU) and sign up for a free account you can auto-schedule your workouts. Go to the Supergym to schedule. Pick a start date and it will schedule all your workouts that you are supposed to do in the correct order.

9. QUESTION:
   Can I add my own cardio when doing the P90x program?
   I am following P90X to the T starting tomorrow.

   However, am I allowed to do cardio also? I always do cardio anyway. It’s just a habit, and I like it.

   • ANSWER:
     If you feel up to it…Seriously P90X will kick your butt especially for the first month or so. My dad does it and has been for about 3 months and he still gets pretty sore from it. And its not like he’s old he’s only like 34 and in good shape so… If i were u i’d try the P90X for awhile and then if you feel ok then add cardio. Make sure you don’t overdo it! You’ll regret it in the long run!

10. QUESTION:
    Why is P90X so effective for fat loss when it only has 2 cardio sessions a week?
    In the “Classic” P90X program it only has Kenpo X and Plyometrics, thats only 2 days worth of cardio.
    So how comes P90X is good for fat loss?
    I’v always been told that 2 days of cardio a week is not enough for fat loss.
    oh right, so can lifting weights also help reduce body fat?

    • ANSWER:
      p90x have you done it, All the routines I have done are Very high tempo with short breaks and lots of moving fast, This is totally cardio and strength workouts,

      Jogging for 30 mins is cardio ya?

      P90xs gets your heart going way faster then in jogging, way more sweat, way more tears, pushup variation then jump squats, backto back with more after that. definitley goes down in my books as cardio, its strength too.

11. QUESTION:
    Anyone do extra cardio outside the P90x routine?
    Anyone do extra cardio outside the P90x routine? I am on day 5 of P90x and think I want to add 2 days of running 3 miles. I am thinking this will help burn more calories and get those abs showing faster.

    • ANSWER:
      P90X is pretty extreme, and I think if a couple of days running would speed up the program they would have added it in there. Sorry I’d consider myself fit, but P90X is absolutely knackering if you are doing it right!

12. QUESTION:
    Where is a place i can currently dowload p90x (or p90x cardio specifically) for free?

    • ANSWER:

13. QUESTION:
    What are all the specific exercises for the cardio routines in P90X?
    I could find the exercises list for the muscle workout videos, but not for the cardio ones like Yoga, Kenpo, etc. My laptop is currently broken so I don’t have a video to exercise along with (this question was typed from a public library). I did the exercises for a while, so I know how they are done. Where can I get a list of them?

    • ANSWER:

14. QUESTION:
    Should you or could you continue to do cardio along with the p90x program?
    female. goal is ,like every female, to be lean & toned. Currently do cardio 4x week. Surely it wouldn’t take away from the program doing cardio along with p90x? Also, how do I decide between classic & lean program? I want definition but do tend to build muscle fairly quickly, especially in my legs! So should I do the lean one to avoid bulking? Opinion? Or Experience? Thank you!!

    • ANSWER:
      cardio wont take away from what you want as long as you are eating right

15. QUESTION:
    Should I do my usual Cardio routine in addidtion to P90X?
    Hey, I just started P90X. But I had a routine where I did 30 to 40 min. of cardio before my workouts. Should I still do my cardio routine before I start the routines of P90X on the DVD?

    • ANSWER:
      P90X is supposed to be an all in one system where you get strength training along with cardio benefits. If you do a cardio routine in addition, you might run the risk of over training. Over training will leave you fatigued, getting weaker, and all around slowed progress.

      Stick with just P90X for a month and after that, if you still feel you need extra cardio add it in starting with 20 minutes at first.

16. QUESTION:
    Can i lose weight just by doing the cardio portions of p90x?
    I was thinking can i just do Cardio X, Plyo X and Kenpo X and still lose weight, i would use the workouts everyday, but i just dont want to follow the muscle building workouts because ive got a decent amount of muscle im just overweight, is it ok if i use that?

    • ANSWER:
      I think that’s a great option, but you also have to consider that you need muscle to burn fat. By doing just cardio – there is a possibility that you will loose some muscle mass. Also progress tends to fade after 60 days. So mixing up resistance and cardio together – you get better results. If cardio is your thing – you should look into Insanity with Shaun T.

      Any questions – let me know http://confusedcoach.com

17. QUESTION:
    Is there to change the P90X routine to more muscle building workouts and less Cardio?
    I am in a thin physique and did a round in the P90X system and was wondering if there was a way to change it so it has less cardio and more muscle building.

    • ANSWER:
      The cardio is an important part of the program. So I would not suggest removing it.

      Instead, make sure you are following the program and on the weight training days, add more weight and do less rep (7-10 range) Those last three should be HARD to do, but you you need to be able to do them with proper form. Tony reminds you in every DVD what works for what you are trying to accomplish.

      The main part of the program and the reason it is 90 days, is the muscle confusion. This is a HUGE part of what makes your muscles grow and avoid the “plateau” that you would otherwise have with other programs.

      If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.

      Good luck and have fun getting in the best shape of your life! Bring it!

18. QUESTION:

20. QUESTION:
    Can you do p90x without the cardio?

    Its not that I dont want to do it, but I live in an apartment and I can do a whole lot of jumping because its too loud.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you can.

      p90x gets great reviews, check them out:

      You’ll also want some adjustable dumbbells to go along with the program (don’t forget the chin-up bar):

      http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26search-alias%3Daps%26ref%255F%3Da9%255Fsc%255F1%26qid%3D1249842001%26field-keywords%3Ddumbbells%2520adjustable&tag=clogui-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

      Alternatively you can buy individual dumbbells, which is my personal preference. I like rubber coated HEX dumbbells the best:

      http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref_%3Dnb%5Fsb%5Fnoss%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Drubber%2520coated%2520hex%2520dumbbells%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&tag=clogui-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

      You’ll want this p90x chin/pull up bar (that’s door mounted, you might want to search for wall mounted):

      http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ARNRRK?ie=UTF8&tag=zv11ex-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ARNRRK

      or a ‘tower’:

      You might also want to get pushup bars, I personally use this:

      http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ECZMSI?ie=UTF8&tag=zv11ex-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ECZMSI

      although it’s pricey compared to others, so any of these will work fine:

      http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref%255F%3Dnb%255Fss%255Fgw%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dpushup%2520bar%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&tag=clogui-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

      I also suggest resistance bands, I suggest ripcords brand as they don’t break on you (I had to go to the emergency room once because I was using bad ones from a gym, and it snapped and nearly broke my hand by slinging itself):

      http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D0%26ref%255F%3Dnb%255Fss%255Fgw%26y%3D0%26field-keywords%3Dripcords%26url%3Dsearch-alias%253Daps&tag=clogui-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

      Get the 5 set or 6 set (don’t get it with the DVD).

      And lastly, you should have a good recovery drink. I prefer this one myself over the p90x specific one:

    • ANSWER:
      Hey Lauren,

      I strongly suggest pilates / yoga. Read some reviews for programs here (they are very well rated):

22. QUESTION:
    Should i do p90x cardio?
    Im currently doing p90x and i am pretty skinny. Im doing p90x to build muscle mass. i was wondering if i should still do the cardio workouts every other day like they say to in the program

    • ANSWER:
      You should do some cardio. You can adjust it a bit though. Do not do as much or sub in Cardio X instead of some of the others. There are huge calorie burns in the cardio but also conditioning that is important. If you are loosing too much weight and not building the muscle you want you may need to just eat more.

      You only loose weight if you are in a calorie deficit. so when you do the calculations in the guidebook to see where you are you may just start the eating plan in Phase 3 not 1 (you get the idea).

      Also when adding calories to build the lean muscle do not add empty calories but add from good protein sources and you will see the body changes you are after.

      Read the books that came with it carefully. there is info in there about not wanting to loose weight as much. You just have to search for it there is not much on that side since most are looking to loose

      Hope that helps!

23. QUESTION:
    Should I do the Plyometrics and Kenpo workouts for P90X or should I swap with Cardio X?
    I am 6’0 145 with some muscle definition and some fat that I want to get rid of. I want to gain weight though, so should I do Cardio X instead?

    • ANSWER:
      Muscle weighs more than fat. If you want to build muscle and burn fat, do some of the weight training workouts instead of just the more cardio-based ones….

24. QUESTION:
    What is the best cardio workout out of all the P90X dvds?
    I know the different dvds have different purposes, but i’m curious as to which one has the best cardo base? I need alittle extra fat burning to add to what i’m already doing. Would it be Plyometrics, Cardio X, or Kenpo X? I’m just looking for opinions, thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      Plyo would be the most difficult and intense of the three. Kenpo-X is faster and less impact than Plyo, but still a good, quick-paced workout. Cardio-X incorporates elements of Yoga-X, Kenpo-X, Plyo, and Core Synergistics, so that one is a good all-around workout.

      They’ll all get your heart rate up, and put on a good sweat. Whether one is “better” than another is totally up to you and your own personal goals, which nobody can answer for you.

25. QUESTION:
    would it be safe for me to do p90x AND do cardio training at the same time?
    I’m trying to drop my weight down to join the airforce and i started p90x 3 days ago and i was wondering if it was ok for me to run a couple miles a day as well. I do the p90x in the morning and i would run in the early evening. i recover very fast after working out and i rarely get sore… you guys have any opinions?

    • ANSWER:
      P90X is an awesome workout program. As long as you have found something that keeps you moving and you enjoy it, keep doing it. Be sure and listen to your body, though, when you work out that hard. Over training won’t do you any good and may hurt you in the long run. Keep up the good work!

26. QUESTION:
    Is there an official way to combine the cardio of Insanity with P90x?
    that would make for an epic workout routine.

    • ANSWER:
      Warren –

      I’ve been doing an P90X/ Insanity hybrid for 6 weeks (and it is a killer).

      Steve Edwards (Beachbody’s guenea pig when it comes to workouts and nutritional products) recommends the following hybrid which I’ve been following and have been getting great results with.

      Day 1: Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
      Day 2: Plyometric Cardio Circuit (INSANITY workout)
      Day 3: Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
      Day 4: Yoga X
      Day 5: Legs & Back
      Day 6: Pure Cardio & Abs (INSANITY workout)
      Day 7: X Stretch

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   how long into a workout before you start burning fat?
   how long would I have to cycle for before i start burning fat?

   • ANSWER:
     AS SOON AS YOU START PEDALING

2. QUESTION:
   How to retain muscle mass while in a fat burning cycle..?
   OK SO I successfully made the proper gains that I was trying to acquire. I was just wondering of any type of supplements that can assist with retaining muscle. I don’t want to hear any of this “Supplements dont work” nonsense. I have been lifting forever and once I experienced the supplement side I saw drastic results within 2 months. So I plan to continue to use supplements for fat burning.

   So far I plan to try Lipo-6 and continue with my 5-6 meals a day high protein. I will workout about 4 days a week, I will do lots of elliptical, no treadmill. When I weightlift I will do 50% of my strength, and shoot for 15-20 reps per exercise. I believe I am doing everything right I was just wondering if theres any experts out there who have any more tips for me. Maybe recommend some different exercises to do or different routines.

3. QUESTION:
   Need guidance please! Building muscle/Losing fat: What’s a good time-span for cycling between the two?
   Im a tad under 6 ft (182 cm) and weigh around 78 kilos (172 lbs), my arms are 13.5 inches (34.3 cm). Despite training well (I have been told my training technique is just fine by some big guys I know) and achieving muscle soreness for a day or two following workout, I’m making little-to-no size progress. I once went crazy trying to bulk up, got very fat, and when it came to burning it off my muscles had shrunk back practically to where I started, so I’m not keen to do that again. Also, I have the kind of face where fat goes straight to my cheeks, trust me, it doesn’t look good. So, If I were to eat like crazy for maybe 4-6 days and limit cardio, then follow up with a few days of the opposite, would that allow my muscles to grow whilst avoiding getting fat? Im fed up of wasting time, I’ve been weight training for over two years and my results have been far below my expectations.

   Ps, I am eating “clean”, no junk, complex carbs only, LOTS of protien from lean meat and whey protien shakes

   • ANSWER:
     Hi

     Iv met many many ppl just like you. They train, take all the supplements, eat a balanced diet, and get little progress.

     PLEASE don’t go supplement crazy, just take your protein shake in the morning and after training and try to drink plenty of water in the day.
     Supplements WON’T make you john claude vandam.

     The 1 mistake that everyone makes when they complain that they are not progressing in there bodybuilding is this, they don’t work hard in the gym.
     In all honesty it only takes 8 weeks to turn the average jelly belly guy into a lean muscle machine. Im serious only 8 weeks.
     I remember i asked a guy in the gym how long he had been training and he said 3 years, he asked me the same and i said 8 weeks, his face was priceless.

     How can it be done in 8 weeks you ask. Well its 8 weeks of hell, but better than years of no progress.
     Whichever muscle group you are training remember you must destroy the muscle or it won’t rebuild to its maximum potential, for 8 weeks divide your training into 2 muscle groups a day, for 5 days a week. Everytime you return to the same muscle group you must push heavier than you went the last time, and high reps are very important with very little rest between sets, last sets MUST be light and to exhaustion and then lastly finish with a burner for 1min if you can handle it .
     eg: If i were training biceps i would end up not being able to pick up a papercup when i got home that evening. REMEMBER reps reps reps reps reps and more reps.

     As for cardio, it must be done in combination to get the best results, not 1 week cardio 1 week weights. Cardio everyday with weights, 10 mins of very high speed running before weights and 10 mins maximum speed running at the end will easily take care of your cardio needs despite what ppl say. REMEMBER very fast running, as fast as you can go without falling off the machine.

     This regime will be really painful if done properly, but after 8 weeks you will look great.
     THIS IS TRIED AND TESTED MANY TIMES, it will 100% work

4. QUESTION:
   What are the most effective workouts for weightloss?
   I want to lose weight and i have time to exercise for about an hour on Mon-Thurs and and for as long as I want on Fri-Sun. I have access to a small gym with weightlifting machines, treadmills, elipticals, and cycling machines. What workouts should I do specifically and which machines would I use? I tend to get bored easily and I like to base my workouts on a calorie-burning goal. So, what would be the best workouts to do on these machines while changing it up? I ultimately want to lose weight and fat. How could I make the workouts most effective?

   • ANSWER:
     It’s about 80% diet or what you eat. 10% cardio, 10% weights. Well that’s what works for me. Everyone is different, one workout will work for someone, then it might not work for another.

     I’ve seen a lot of workouts, tried a few, but it always comes down to what you eat. Also getting bored is not a bad thing, it helps to change things up and try new things. If your body gets to use to the same workout, it plateaus.

5. QUESTION:
   how can i blast away belly fat and get six pack?
   I need an ab routine or other home workout that burns belly fat fast. i’m grounded for 3 months so i can only workout at home. i can’t even go cycling or running, and there’s no way i;ll be able to. im 15 , male, got belly fat. thats it. I wanna lose it. can u pls give me an ab routine, or anther workout at home, that i can do in order to lose this fat fast? I really wanna be thin and cut FAST.i only have dumbbells, light and heavy. thx

   • ANSWER:
     well for abs the best thing is crunches, never do more than 200 your muscles stop contracting after that and your just wasting your time. Im a competive fighter and i have to have a cut stomach b/c i get hit in it alot this is what i do… you want to start off doing as many as you can but do sets of crunches in 25 and then stop and breathe, let your muscles relax then start again, yet again after so many at one time your muscles will stop contracting. first routine: lay on your back side rest your forearms on the ground and bring your feet about 6 or so inches of the floor until you feel it slightly burning in your mid section hold for a ten count and slowly lower do this about three times(when your stomach gets a bit toner, do the same thing without resting on your forearms)
     Routine 2: now lay flat on the ground and lift your legs straight up(rember in both techniques to keep your legs STRAIGHT dont bend them, bending takes the strain off your stomach) lift till you feel a little burn.
     Routine 3: Crunches do about 100 to start off in sets of 25 like i said before. you only want to lift enough to pull your shoulders off the ground start with your legs pulled up ankles as close to your butt as possible(later on cross your arms on your chest holding your weights and do it) make sure not to put hands behind head this causes you to pull on your neck. if you feel pain in your neck your not doing it right. pull with your stomach, tighten them as hard as you can as you pull up that is pulling with your stomach. relax your stomach and go back down SLOWLY.
     Routine 4: do the same thing with your legs flat on ground with no bend this is changing the target area.
     Routine 5: same thing except on your back up against a wall or door put your butt as close to wall as possible and extend legs straight up the wall and do your crunches(with our without weights)
     Routine 6; (this one a bit tricky to explain but easy to do)on your feet. stand with feet about shoulder lenght apart hold up your right arm vertically( your fist should be pointing towards ceiling and your elbow straight down towards floor) you are going to lift left knee up and twist with the mid section and try to touch elbow with knee, make sure you twist your shoulders with with you should feel it pull in your mid section, if you make a grunt type noise( kinda like people do in Karate when going thru their stance like the Hi ya stuff…when you do that it causes your muscles to tense, the reason why they do it, it sounds silly but it really does help )
     i hope this helps.. i know it was long lol sorry. and i dont know how bad off your stomach is but in anytype of weight loss rember muscle weighs more than fat so you will notice a weight gain first. you will also notice with that loosing inches… your muscles have to tighten and develop first(which causes the inches to go down and weight up) b4 the actualy fat with go away… so dont get discouraged if it doesnt seem to work overnight….you always have to ask yourself as well when you ask how long it will take to get in shape …how long did it take you to get out of shape? if you cant do this in 3 months then you are not trying. ive trained 50 and 60 year old woman who havnt worked out in 20 years that have dropped weight in less than a month and had one in 3 months go from wearing size 16 to a size 5 …it works it is harder when you do it by yourself bc no one is there to push you. just belive in yourself, and good luck.

6. QUESTION:
   Anyone who knows about bodybuilding…?
   I work out 5 days a week. I do each muscle group twice a week but legs i only dedicate one day too. i’ve been doing this for about a month and before that i was just doing 3 days a week. I do 3-5 exercises per muscle group, 5 sets, 5-6 reps, in an attempt to add real mass. and i’m eating about 3200 calories per day.

   i’m beginning my fat burning cycle today and it will last another month. i dont know a lot about fat burning so if you fill me in on whether or not i should keep doing my same routine and just add cardio and eat less or should i change my whole workout.

   • ANSWER:
     one -type- of muscle every 7 days a week (usually, depends on recovery ability which depends on other factors), keep other muscles needed to do other workouts to a minimum unless its their day. in regards to weights, you DONT need to switch exercises ppl who DONT know about exercise AND physiology WILL tell you the opposite. you cant go all out cardio and all out weights its either balance them or its a no go.

7. QUESTION:

   D i know what you mean but shotgun is pretty gross too..too much foam and stuff builds up at the top of the drink..

   • ANSWER:

8. QUESTION:
   Do you really burn the fat running or doing cardio first thing in the morning as opposed to after a workout?
   I’ve decided to get back into my workout routine and just want to know if anyone has knowingly set out to run in the morning and if they saw the results. I’ve also taken several cycles in the past of 1AD, anabolic steroid, and have gotten my mass high enough over the years. I’m just ready to get back into it, cut up, run and work out while taking Furazadrol (same as winstrol)

   • ANSWER:
     Don’t take steroids or any medicine that does bad things to your body!!! But yes, I run on weekends in the mornings and I feel great afterwards, and if you run for 20 minutes a day you will definitely feel results (feel sore the day after which is good) and within and week you are bound to have lose a pound or two! JUst remember that because you’re running it doesn’t mean that you can eat anything you want, you need to burn the amount of calories you take in.

9. QUESTION:

   I am 24 years old.

   Weight 90kilograms

   I workout everyday monday to friday from 5pm to 7pm. I’m more to cardio exercise such as running, jogging, cycling, brisk walking. And everyday before working out, I will take 3 capsules of LIPO 6 BLACK to give me the extra edge in fat burning.

     take whey for my protein after training.
     The new Intelligent is stronger and you can only take
     no more than 2 a day. I take mine in the am before anything

10. QUESTION:
    I’m fat as hell! 253lbs 5′ Feet and 8 inches tall. I just started back working out!?
    I need a workout plan that will burn 700 calories each workout. I use the treadmill, elliptical and the cycle bikes. My BMI is over 35 and I would like to loose 100lbs. I’ve been working out for a week and I feel GREAT! But I want to BURN more FAT! Please Help!

    • ANSWER:

11. QUESTION:
    Burn fat at stomach area by building abs muscle?
    Everybody knows that by building muscle, u can burn more fat as more muscle mass can increase metabolic rate. Muscles need space to grow, thus the fat fat will be burned in order to give space for the muscles to grow.

    By stimulating the abs muscles by doing crunches, sit ups with weight added, legs raise etc, the abs muscles are stimulated to undergo hyperthrophy. The bigger the muscle, more fat will be burned.

    I am 24 years old. Height 177-180cm ( not sure the exact measurement). Last 2 months my weight was 120 kilos and now i am 103 kilos. Waist 44 inches to 40inches

    My training regiment:

    I only focus on weightlifting…yeah…true that…i really hate cardio….jogging sucks shin pain etc, i dont like cycling and i dont know know how to swim.

    Exercises involved deadlift, squat, dips, bench press, shoulder shrug, lats pulldown, leg curl, shoulder raise, abs crunch, sit ups with weight. Rest time between sets 30 seconds as to maintain elevated heart rate. 4-5 sets 15 reps each set.

    Supplements whey protein and BCAA for recovery, superpump for pre-workout.

    I really HATE it when people said the best way lose fat is by doing cardio, ignore weightlifting. Many people doesnt know that too much cardio can burn muscles and not fat. That is why people who involves in cardio can lose a lot of weight in a week because it is actually the muscle that is burn.

    I think the best way to lose fat is by doing medium intensity to high intensity weightlifting. Booooo cardio. LOL. Afterall, weightlifting has the MAX afterburn effect.

    what do guys think?

    • ANSWER:
      Your just bulking up. Your not losing fat, but just gaining muscle.

      Cardio can help you GAIN muscle, unless you are a marathon runner(low body fat, usually skinny, extremely toned) and run everyday 10 miles a day then you will actually lose muscle. This is because these marathon runners have no body fat and thus the body turns to muscles for energy.

      All in all. Cardio can only burn muscle if you are 3-5% body fat, considering your an intermediate-higher level body builder(i presume) your around 15-25% body fat.

      Also if your an extreme athlete(insane amounts of cardio 5+ hours of constant running/overtraining/pro marathon runner) then you will suffer muscle fatigue and loss of muscle, which will just DESTROY your muscles and not train them.

      Looks like you could use some information. If your commited to muscle building, take a look at
      this:

12. QUESTION:
    what is cycling doing for me?
    i workout everyday to get my cardio in. i always cycle because i hear that it tones your legs, which is exactly what I’m trying to do. is this true? i am looking to slim my legs down. they’re fat and i hate them. i cycle with little to no resistance because i don’t want to build up my muscle but i go fast, like between 14-15.5 mph for 30-60 minutes. what else can i do to get skinny legs? i know theres no spot-reduction, so what can i do to literally just burn fat off of my body? i have access to a huge gym so please, any suggestions?!!

    • ANSWER:
      Buy a real road bike and get off the stationary. You will find your workout will easily double on the road vs the monotony of stationary. If you ride 2 hours every other day and workout in the gym the other days, your legs will tone. If you have large muscle mass on your bones you will not get skinny legs. If you have fat deposits you will burn them off and get toned legs.

6. QUESTION:
   P90x Plyometrics every other day?
   I have been following the P90x program strictly for the past month but I want to add in more cardio, would it be beneficial to do the plyometrics portion of the workout every other day? I have burned in excess of 1000 calories from this workout, thats why I love it! If doing this would be counterproductive should I just add more cardio via running?

   Thanks!

   • ANSWER:
     Hey…I would say to follow the program as closely as you can. I actually started replacing the kenpo workout with plyo’s cuz i like the plyos workout a lot and it does make you sweat.

8. QUESTION:
   Is is ok to take a break after Plyometrics of P90X?
   I just finished day 2 yesterday of P90X and today i am very sore my whole body hurts. And i want to take a break today and do Shoulders and Arms tomorrow i don’t want to force myself and end up getting hurt. So i wanted to know if it was ok if i took a break?

   • ANSWER:
     Yes.
     You can also try doing the stretch disc, unless you’re even too sore for that.

9. QUESTION:
   i have a question about p90x plyometrics?
   are my feet supposed to burn like crazy? throughout the workout i felt more muscles burning in my feet than in my legs. I was just wondering it this was ok thanks.

   • ANSWER:
     Yes they are. You probably have strong calves without the feet muscles to support it. Just keep going at it and it’ll eventually get better. When doing your circle run or the Hot Foot routines, try backing off a bit and putting more pressure on your legs/calves. When he talks about the “light landing”, that’s probably where most of your problem lies. He wants us to land on our toes so that the foot gets a workout as well as the rest of the leg. Try focusing on that a bit less and you should be good.

     Also, make sure you’re drinking protein shakes before/after and recovery drink after your workouts to minimize the muscle pain. Don’t use painkillers, because they’re bad for your liver and will impact your performance with P90X.

10. QUESTION:
    how much calories does a 185lbs 20 guy who is in good shape burn when doing p90x plyometrics?

    • ANSWER:

11. QUESTION:
    will i get faster from doing plyometrics from p90x everyday?
    also is it okay for my body if i do the workout everyday?

    • ANSWER:
      You don’t want to do any workout everyday, as you wont see the benefits and will hit a plateu quickly. Plyos will help your power which will help with acceleration and strengthening fast twitch muscle fibers. I don’t know about your typical workout routine or what other workouts you do, but I would recommend something like what I did when I played in college (you might be a little young for it):
      Summer schedule:
      weight training
      M/W/F: Big muscle groups: (warm up properly)
      Bench
      Squat
      Dumbell Row
      Romainian Deadlift
      Core work
      Inverted row

      T/Th/S: (warm up properly)
      4 way neck
      Dumbell or Barbell shrugs
      Inverted row
      Back extensions
      Arms (tri’s/bi’s)
      Forearms (plate pinches, heavy weight holds)

      Running work and plyos:

      MWF:Warm up-
      For the Run on Monday focus on short sprints up a hill concentrating on your form, do the same sets and distances as the Tuesday/Thursday run with no 100 yard sprints and adequate rest between sets
      For Wednesday after you warm up you can do any jogging work out you want or play a basketball game
      For Friday Run a longer hill (400 yards if you can find one) 3 times and increase 1 rep per week
      After the runs here’s what we do, not sure how much u can do
      Medicine ball jumps ( just jump forward and throw a medicine ball from your chest as far as you can, you usually land on a mat but a medicine ball toss at a wall will work) 10 total
      Overhead Medicine ball pass ( turn around and squat with a medicine ball between your legs then explode up and throw the ball over your head and backwards) 10 total
      Box Jumps- 10 total
      Single Leg bounds- 5 sets of 6 total steps- push for maximum length in each step
      Double Leg Bounds- 6 sets of 5 total jumps- try to jump as far as you can on each bound watch your knee)

      T/Th/Sat
      10 sets 10 yard position drills (For DB it was varius forms of backpeddle and break) , after each drill do either 10 push ups or 30 sit ups
      8 sets 20 yards with push ups and sit ups
      6 sets 30 yards with push ups and sit ups
      12 80-100 yard runs, focusing on form rather than speed with push ups and sit ups

12. QUESTION:

    i am 16 years old. 6 feet 1 tall. I can already dunk but want to increase my vertical so i can do slam dunk that would be sweet.

    if you already done this before i want to know how much did you increased your vert by

    • ANSWER:
      try playing with ankle weights or heavier shoes

13. QUESTION:
    P90x plyometrics with ankle weights on good idea?
    I tried it it was hard

    • ANSWER:
      Bad idea… You’re stressing your ankles and you’ll end up getting a huge strain or tear in them. If you’re still growing it will delay or even cancel out further growth. Weights are never a good idea for vertical training… Only most arms they are good.

14. QUESTION:
    How long should i do the plyometrics from p90x ……. Like 12 weeks or 6 weeks etc?
    AND HOW MUCH MY VERTICAL YALL THINK ILL GAIN IF I JUST USE PLYOMETRICS FROM P90X

    • ANSWER:
      I would take a 2 week break every 8 weeks. While your vertical will gain, how much can’t really be estimated.

15. QUESTION:
    P90x plyometrics help my vertical? ?
    I’m 16, 6 foot, and can grab the rim with two hands pretty easily. I wanna dunk so my coach gave me the p90x plyometrics exercises an told me to start doing them. My question is will I get good gains? And how many times a week should I do them?

    I’m 18 and 5’9 I weigh 140 will p90x plyometrics help my vertical jump increase?
    I have a 26 inch vertical jump and I wanna be able to dunk

    • ANSWER:
      Of course.

17. QUESTION:
    How much P90X Plyometrics burn?
    I am 5’9 143 lbs girl. I didnt gave all my efforts to it, i skipped like 3 exercises. How much i burned? Did i burned at least 400?

    • ANSWER:
      P90x expects atleast a 300 to 400 calorie burn on each workout besides x stretch of course as long as you brought it and didnt give up i would say burned somewhere in between there

18. QUESTION:
    Can P90X still work if i dont do plyometrics?
    I would love to keep doing plyometrics, but I live in an upstairs apartment and I can’t be jumping and stomping.

    • ANSWER:
      probably. its only one excercise program.. aren’t there built in adjustments for people who cant jump due to bad knees or whatever? I mean theres like substitutes for everything if i remember correctly…. Work out outside lol if u have a laptop or something, or in a hallway.

19. QUESTION:
    2nd day of P90X plyometrics?
    Okay so I started the P90X yesterday and my arms, chest, and back hurt soo bad right now. Anyways today is the Plyometrics… is that going to affect my upper body much? And is it normal to be hurting this badly???
    Thanks! I actually do have a whey protien drink that I had after I exercised yesterday and will continue to use

    • ANSWER:
      P90X is extreme. So yes soreness is to be expected. I would highly recommend getting a whey protein drink mix and take it within 30 minutes after your work out. It will help speed healing, recovery, and minimize soreness……>

      IF you think diamond pushups are killer. Wait until you hit the 2nd phase…..yeah baby….OUCH…..lol

      Plyometrics is not going to affect your upper body too much. Yes, you are going to be moving your arms and such to keep your balance. But no lifting or pushing anything………>

      Remember to hit that pause button and take breaks. If you need to, just do a portion of each move until you get better fit and accustomed to the program. It is tough, just keep pushing play, and bring it…….>

      Make sure you are drinking lots of water. I think the program advises you to drink 16 oz about 30 minutes before exercise and I also go through 2 bottles of water during the work out…….>

      Also in the plyo DVD there is a man there that is doing the entire workout with a prosthetic leg……>Dont be fooled though, he is fit……>

      feel free to email me directly with any questions, specially about P90X…..>

20. QUESTION:
    execise p90x plyometrics?
    i did p90x plyometrics couple of days ago after i masturbated. i am 25 years old male. i have good health but when i did that exercise couple of times after that i developed a knee losning kin’a thing. my knee hurt when i do squats, but i work through the pain,.
    should i continue with the exercise?

    • ANSWER:
      If the pain is severe it might be in your best interest to take a weeks break…

21. QUESTION:
    Just P90X Plyometrics?
    Would it be ok if I did just the P90X plyometrics or would that be bad? Do you have any experience with it?

    • ANSWER:
      that depends on your goal

      if youre trying to gain muscle
      then obviously it wont do anything..

      if youre trying to burn fat
      then yes its fine, but might be a little boring doing it over and over again

22. QUESTION:
    Would the plyometrics and ab ripper x in P90x help me get faster in track?
    My fastest 100 is 13.3 (and that was really hard to achieve because my regular time is 14.5)I really want to get in the 12 range. Would the plyo help me get faster?

    • ANSWER:
      I’m not sure Plyo and Ab RipperX alone will make that happen, they certainly will help you in some parts of your fitness. Sprinting requires an entirely different type of training. Plyo does promote explosiveness but as you probably already know technique, getting out of the blocks, etc., count for a lot as well.

      I’d say doing P90X as a complete program, i.e., 90 day rotation will definitely make you more fit which may lead to faster on track performance.

      Good luck!
