I am not an exert in children’s nutrition and fitness, but I can give you my honest opinion. Younger kids have great opportunities to exercise doing fun things that any adult would feel ridiculous doing to get into shape. Playing on a jungle gym for an hour would totally tire me out! Playing tag with friends, kicking a ball around in the back yard, riding a bike, roller skating, duck duck goose even!! If you live somewhere where it snows, taking a walk in deep snow is definitely a workout and kids love to do stuff like that. Throwing snow balls, building giant snow boulders….. basically just being a kid!

Or, if you really need a workout program to get him going, check out Sean T’s fit kids club, or Tony and the Kids. These programs are more age appropriate for you son.

Good luck to you and your son!

I would keep eating like you normally do, in terms of what kind of meal you eat when you wake up, etc. Of course the actual food should be a part of the Nutrition Plan, but if you normally eat breakfast type food when you wake up in the evening, keep doing that. Your body works best when your eating and sleeping habits are consistent.

that does seem like a loaded workout schedule!!! I do see that you have a rest day in there, so that’s good. Plyo and legs and back right next to each other might be tough on the legs. Maybe you can switch plyo with your stretch day.

It’s an intense schedule, but you are training for an intense sport! Just be sure you are alternating resistance with stretching or cardio and also alternate muscle groups worked each day.

The workouts are in a certain order to give you the best results. Of course it’s a free country and once you buy the DVD’s, you can do what ever you want with them, but there is not guarantee that you will get results if you don’t follow the schedule.

-Mike

sure! If you know what you’re doing, go for it! Many people do a round of the P90X, love the workouts, but then want to come up withe their own schedule. Of course I can’t say wether or not your plan will work, but there is no harm in trying!

-Mike

it’s ok to live a little!!! This can be your little cheat meal. You are allowed one once in a while!! As a teen, your metabolism is in good shape and the one night of the week should effect your results as long as you are being good for the rest of the week and sticking to your workouts. The fact that you are doing extra running makes up for it anyway!!

-Mike

you can have a protein drink after your workout if you can’t afford the recovery formula.

As far as your diet goes, it looks ok. I assume you are using some of those protein shakes as your double snack and your drink. Try not to over do it with the protein shakes. There are probably carbs in those shakes which isn’t too good if you want to lose weight. But you are free to use the program in your own way!

-Mike

There is enough protein to count for 1 serving, so I would use it for a protein serving. The recovery formula has about 10 grams of protein which makes it a perfect after workout drink. You don’t need to eat anything else if you don’t want to before bed.
