New Year Resolutions

Insanity is more for cardio training and overall weight loss.

P90X is for weight loss, cardio training, and muscle gain. You DO NOT need a gym for this. You will however need to invest money into a dvd player, a tv, the dvd's, a pull up bar, and weights ranging from 4-20lb (if you're around my age... 15). If you cannot afford weights, you can always buy some bands instead, which are much cheaper. The pull up bar I have is great, it attaches and detaches within five seconds onto any regular door frame. You will also need a mat and a good 'ol water bottle. You don't need to be in excellent shape to do this... when I first started I couldn't even do a push-up. I can now do 53 pushups in just a minute.

When I first started P90X I couldn't finish a single workout... not even the easiest of the easy ones. Within a couple'a months I was having no problem and making my way towards success.

I highly recommend it!

The link that AsherF posted is not for P90X workouts, it's for Insanity workouts, those are two complitely different workouts. For Insanity you don't need a gym, for P90X you do, because you need weights, but not 1 pair of weights, you will need the whole set of weights, like 10 different pairs of weights, and a pull up bar. So if you have enough space, 10 pair of weights (different weights of course) and a pull up bar, than yeah, you can do it in your home.
What food are you talking about?

10 pairs of weights only takes 2 meters of space beside a wall.. my pull up bar is detachable and can be put behind a couch because it's only a meter wide.

Unfotunately, these too should not go together. Kyphosis is the curvature of the spine in the upper back, and when playing soccer, people do tend to round their back and curve their spine, especially while looking down at the ball. First thing I would suggest is to hit the gym and build a lot of muscle around your scapulas and also the rhomboid muscles and trapezius muscles. Those are all the muscles that will pull the shoulders back, and also build lower back muscles and abdominal muscles because those are the ones that will keep your "core" strong and stable, and keep you upright.
If you want to do some kind of sport, I would highly recommend swimming and basketball.

I also support people who are doing P90X, it's a great program, specially for weight loss. You will not be able to gain 50 pounds of muscles with P90X, but it will get you in good shape. I did the whole program, and now I'm only doing plyo as a replacment for my cardio.

If anybody has any questions, please PM me.


Thanks for the advice! I LOVE playing football/soccer. I took a break this entire year,wanted to get back to it. I am doing some exercises for my back, the doctor and physiotherapist said it isn't too severe and I'll grow out of it. I really hope I do though.


Thanks again Toby and Good luck to you and everyone else for the New Year.

Hope it goes well!

No problem. I'm glad I could help. If you need anything at all, or any further questions, please PM me, I've been doing this (fitness and physical therapy) for a long time now.

@Mehar: Let me rephrase, if you don't have a gym at your house, than you will need the regular one. My point was, you cannot do P90X in your room without all those things, as with Insanity, you can.

Ohhh ok. I thought you meant that you needed a full-on gym filled with machines and all sorts of equipment. I think we both understand each other now :)

It depends what you want to do really. P90X is more for strength training and toning while Insanity is more for cardio and fat burning.

Perhaps that is the case. I will admit I have yet to do either program. I just know that Insanity is the program all the military people I've spoken to praise because it is the closest thing you'll get to basic training work out. If you do it daily, you WILL get in good shape.

I want to give everyone some advice on losing weight since I'm on my high school wrestling team, so I know how to lose weight fast. When we practice which is 2 and a half hours 5 days a week, I'm wearing a sweater and sweatpants. A lot of people workout at the gym in a tank top because they think it looks cool, which is sorta true, but it doesn't help you lose weight because you aren't sweating as much. Also, when I go running I wear several layers and I can break a sweat within 5 minutes. When you workout, push yourself to your limit. Just because you get a little tired doesn't mean you should stop. Do a lot of pushups and situps. Try and get to as close to 100 of each if you can, remember to do them in sets and alternate between the two. One last thing: wallsits make your legs wicked strong. It's basically putting your back flat up against a wall with your legs at a 90 degree angle for as long as you can. I hope this helps all of you with your workout regimes.

Happy New Years!

I would just like to add one thing, if you are going to wear all those layers, please make sure to have a lot of water with you because you are risking serious dehidration.

Hi,,,
We are not in a position to take risk with our health... I totally disagree with your with your statement... Weight loss and muscles gain without gym can be harmful for our life....
