<p><a href="http://asseenonpc.directtrack.com/z/1846/CD6489"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-85" title="p90x-reviews-cover" src="http://jonspicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/p90x-reviews-cover-300x224.jpg" alt="p90x-reviews" width="240" height="179" /></a>The latest craze in losing weight and gaining muscle is P90X.  I&#8217;ve seen countless Youtube videos and personal blogs of <strong>P90X reviews</strong> from people who&#8217;ve undergone total body transformations in just 90 days.  I wanted to share some personal results with you  as well as some pictures and give you a better understanding of what to expect.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My lifestyle before usually consisted of eating junk food and watching TV.  I was never that athletic and I remember in High School having a hard time with sports.  I was working a lot of hours and didn&#8217;t have any desire or energy after work to go to the gym or even try to stick to a healthier diet.  I realized though that this was all a big excuse.  I didn&#8217;t want to put in the work and actually make myself look and feel healthier.</p>

<p>The last time i remember working out was for the first few weeks of football in high school.  I didn&#8217;t work out on a regular basis and I decided that P90X sounds like an awesome system.  What really got me going was the transformations.  I knew these were just the average Joe and Jane&#8217;s.  They were just like me.  If they could do it, so could I.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The first week of P90X was HARD.  My whole body ached but I knew it was working.  I could tell I was improving with each passing day.  Every night I would search for other P90Xers who have had transformations and read their stories.   I enjoyed reading their <strong>P90X reviews</strong> each night. It really kept me going through that hard first week.  The first month was the hardest for me.  I&#8217;m not sure if it was because I was so out of shape or if it was because my system experienced a huge shock with P90X and didn&#8217;t know how to react.  I wanted to get rid of that fat and turn it into lean muscle mass.  That was my ultimate goal from day 1.  I didn&#8217;t want to just lose the weight.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll admit that it&#8217;s a really long journey from Day 1 to Day 90 but you just have to put your nose to grindstone and push through it.  I felt great transformation some weeks and other weeks I didn&#8217;t see much happen.  Maybe that&#8217;s how the system is designed but believe me by Day 90 you will look and feel like a totally different person if you follow the P90x system.  The first month gave me the greatest results.  I felt it working and it kept me going.  One thing I hated was having the buy new clothes throughout the program.  That&#8217;s the price you pay though for losing weight.  My pants seemed to be the thing that I had to buy most often.  It seemed like my belly and arm fat disappeared the fastest.  The funniest thing was I needed a new belt!  I promised myself years ago if I ever needed a new belt then I was WAY too big.  I just I never thought I would need a smaller belt.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The next 30 days seemed to just be a grind.  I saw some transformation but nothing like the first 30 days.  I did notice my cardio getting better and I wouldn&#8217;t gas out as quickly.  My stamina definitely improved.  I would encourage everyone to not alter the workouts and to just stick to the program.  It was designed by professionals who have years of experience and they know what works.  Every workout I tried to push myself by doing more weight or more reps.  Try and incorporate that mentality into your workouts.  If you invest now it will pay off later.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The last 30 days gave me an extra boost of motivation.  I was on the home stretch and I knew the hardest part was over.  I would say the transformation in the last 30 days was between the first 30 days and days 30-60.  I saw more transformatio than days 30-60 but not as much as day 0-30.  I guess that is to be expected though. The last 30 days really seemed to improve my overall healthiness.  I can&#8217;t really explain it but i just felt so much better.  It could have been my body adjusting to it.  I stuck to it though and finally finished my 90 days.  It felt great and I was really proud of myself for not giving up.  The weight loss wasn&#8217;t the biggest thing.  It was the fat getting replaced by muscle.    Here are some pictures. Sorry I only have the back picture, the other ones got deleted when my computer crashed <img src='http://jonspicks.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

<h1>More P90X Information</h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>P90X Workout Schedule</h2>
<p>P90X is focused on two major parts.  There is cardio and resistance.  Cardio being something that gets your heart rate up and gets your burning more fat.  A few good examples are jogging and swimming.  The flip side is resistance.  Resistance is focused on building muscle whether it be fast or slow twitch type fibers in your muscles.  You can focus on high reps and lower weight to get toned or focus on low reps and high weight for muscle mass and bulk.  Women typically go with the high repetitions while men go for the low repetitions.  There are 3 different schedules that P90X offers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Classic &#8211; The classic routine is setup for 3 days of resistance and 3 days of either yoga or cardio.  The resistance can range from bands to weights which you will need to have before you start P90X.</li>
<li>Lean &#8211; This is targetted more for people who are looking to mainly burn fat with not much emphasis on muscle building.  The lean routine is 4 days of either cardio or yoga and 2 days of resistance training.</li>
<li>Double &#8211; The double program  is essentially the classic program with more cardio.  This allows for more calories to be burned.  You can mix and match these different programs.  The double program is targeted for people who want an intense workout and who want to build strength.</li>
<p>&nbsp;
</ul>
<div>I would suggest that you start with the classic or lean if you&#8217;re new to the P90X program and especially if you&#8217;re starting to exercise again.  You want to push yourself but keep in mind your body must be able to recover and rushing through the workouts and not giving your body time to recover is a bad idea.  Start slow and as you get in better shape build up the intensity.</div>

And I am going to tell you why you need this supplement if you are thinking of working out to get that perfect body you always wanted. Jack3d is a nutritional supplement which allows you to counteract the lack of energy, giving you more endurance and vitality during your workout sessions. Body building requires a lot of hard work as you have to look after your body carefully. You cannot indulge in junk food because you have to maintain a strict diet at all times of the day. But this is extremely difficult because most of the foods we eat are what we call fillers. They are high in fat and carbohydrates instead of being nutritious.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5354636-10274071?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evitamins.com%2Fproduct.asp%3Fpid%3D15659%26rid%3DCJPID&amp;cjsku=15659">==&gt;Click Here To Try Jack3d Now&lt;==</a></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Jack3d Reviews: Effects</h2>
<p>This is where Jack3d comes into effect. Jack3d is a pre-workout creatine powder that also contains arginine, schizandra extract containing schizandrol A and beta alanine apart from geranamine and caffeine extracts which act as stimulants. Improving from previous body building supplements, Jack3d has no traces of magnesium in it which means a vast reduction in your trips to the bathroom. I am a new but regular user of Jack3d and I ensure you that this supplement has been responsible for my increased focus and continuous endurance levels. I like to work out once I return from the office. I prefer to hit the gym around 6 or 6:30 and work out for an hour and a<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-5354636-10274071?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evitamins.com%2Fproduct.asp%3Fpid%3D15659%26rid%3DCJPID&amp;cjsku=15659"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20 alignright" title="jack3d-reviews" src="http://jonspicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/jack3d-reviews-271x300.jpg" alt="Man ready to lift weights after reading Jack3d Reviews." width="217" height="240" /></a> half. The effects of Jack3d take about 5 hours to wear off and the effects are immediate. So I take it around 4:30 and hit the gym around 6 or after. If you work out in the evening like I do then it is preferable to use it around 4:30 and not after because otherwise its effects would go on into the night which could cause sleep problems. This is because of the caffeine extracts which leads to a high metabolism once Jack3d is taken.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5354636-10274071?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evitamins.com%2Fproduct.asp%3Fpid%3D15659%26rid%3DCJPID&amp;cjsku=15659">==&gt;Click Here To Try Jack3d Now&lt;==</a></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Creatine also allows increasing of the adenosine triphosphate or ATP levels in the muscles. During a regular workout, the moment fatigue hits us ATP levels begin to fall. What Jack3d does is boost up phosphocreatine levels in our muscles which then get converted to ATP as we fatigue. Another amazing thing about Jack3d is its ability to give you great pump. It pumps up your metabolism from the first dose that you take ensuring a good work out. And even though this pump may not make you stronger the first time around, if you continue to take it you will most likely see some serious.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-5354636-10274071?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.evitamins.com%2Fproduct.asp%3Fpid%3D15659%26rid%3DCJPID&amp;cjsku=15659">==&gt;Click Here To Try Jack3d Now&lt;==</a></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To make this product taste good, the company USP Labs has also marketed this product in three different flavors to suit your tastes. Jack3d now comes in Grape bubble gum, lemon lime, and in tropical fruit punch flavors. Jack3d endorses what it promises. Give this new supplement a try if you yearn for that perfect body!</p>
<p><strong>Jon&#8217;s Verdict:</strong> This stuff is the real deal and if you&#8217;re looking to put on muscle or are having trouble getting the gains you want then check out Jack3d.</p>
