I would also take the recovery formula. Not only for a good protein source, but for energy and muscle restoration. In order to put weight on with muscle, you would need to lift heavy. If you want muscle definition, but don't want to be too bulky, start with a weight you are comfortable with then keep upping the weight each time you go back and do the exercise. Try not to go too heavy. If you get to the point where you can only do 10 reps, you might be moving into the realm of lifting for bulk. Lifting light and doing more reps keeps your muscles lean, but you need to increase the weight for definition. But not too much if you don't want bulk! It may be a balancing act, but I think you can feel it out as you go along. Just try not to go up in weight too quickly. -Mike Hello Savanna,

I'm not fat by any means...but i want to get RIPPED. Not lean...i'm not girly enough to be "lean." i want muscles and i want abs...but i don't want to weigh 200 lbs either. I guess i don't care as long as i look good. What do you suggest? Supplements? Doing the workouts twice a day? Just tell me and i'll do it. THANKS! Hey there!

You can't target fat loss, it's more of an all over thing, but you can continue to build your ab muscles and burn more calories than you take in. Also, working large muscle groups like the legs and back helps to burn fat faster. So if you continue to work your entire body with cardio, resistance and eat right, you belly will soon disappear. -Mike Hello Dwight,

So if you have extra in your belly, it will take a bit longer. You can't really target fat loss, so you just have to keep burning more calories than you take in and building your ab muscles. -Mike Hello Dwight,

This is a tough program, but if you start out where you are comfortable and keep pushing yourself further each time you start a new day, you will find that you can keep up with Tony and his crew. There is a fitness test you can take to see if this program is too difficult for you, but if you don't pass, you can always try it starting out slow and work you way up to speed. If you find the exercises in the test to be moves that you would not like to do on the regular basis, this might not be the program for you. http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/pdf/p90x-fit-test.pdf Good luck! -Mike Hello Brent,
