I dig holes.
I have to find a way to fight my laziness. Working out was so much easier when I had a gym partner now I just keep starting things and then stopping because I get bored. I wish there was a gym closer to my house I would sign up for different classes to keep things fresh. How long did it take to start seeing results from the power 90? Also, if I am pretty out of shape now but used to be in really good shape should I go to power 90 first or skip over to power 90x. Do I need to buy extra things to make it work, I saw some people using a pull up bar. Sorry if I have too many questions.
I have no idea on p90 because I jumped straight into p90x that I borrowed from a friend. Actually, I never knew there was a p90 until it was posted on here. You'll notice the results right away when you're ready to drop and your muscles ache for a day or few. I could tell I was getting a bit leaner after a couple of weeks but results will obviously vary by how hard you push yourself. I'm a glutton for punishment so I went all out. For p90x you can use weights and a pull up bar, resistance bands, or a combination of both. He breaks it down for each because not everyone has access to it all. What do you consider "pretty out of shape" compared to being in "really good shape"? Your knowledge of crossfit makes me think you know what really good shape means. I guess I feel that if you did it once you should be able to get back to that point again. It is intimidating to look at all the moves Tony teaches, but he gives alternatives for those not ready to perform certain exercises.
My best results have been from using kettlebells, sandbags, and manilla rope. It is a fun alternative that I can do outside because I can't stand being cooped up when the days are nice. Most of it I learned through CrossFit and Punch Gym.
