I would workout in the morning. Otherwise you might be too tired at the end of the day and wont want to do it. As far as the 6 pack goes, you can get one depending on how much body fat you have to start. If you have a high body fat percentage, you might not see a 6 pack at the end of 90 days.

ideally, it would be better to do Ab Ripper right after your first workout because your body should be in “burn” mode. If you can’t at first, by all means do it later. It is better to do what you can when you can to make this program work for you, rather than quit because it’s too difficult.

getting a six pack can be difficult. There are several things you should do:

1. Eat right. I know you don’t have the nutrition plan, but here is an idea of what you should be eating:

protein – 5 servings (3 oz of lean meat is about 1 serving)
dairy – 2 servings
fruit – 1 serving
vegetables – 2 servings (1 cup cooked, 2 fresh)
CARBS – 1 SERVING!! Complex only (brown rice, whole wheat pasta and bread- 1 cup of rice or pasta, two slices of bread is 1 serving)
fats – 1
snacks – 2

You should be eating smaller portions every two to three hours to speed up your metabolism. This is what you would eat for the first phase of this program. Some of the daily servings can be increased (protein can be decreased) if you need extra energy.

2. Don’t skimp on the cardio! Cardio burns calories and fat that could be covering your abdominal area.

3. Working large muscle groups such as your legs and back help greatly to reduce body fat percentage. Building muscle burns fat. Chin-ups, push-ups, lunges, squats.

3. Ab Ripper X should be done every other day to allow for muscle recovery.

Good luck!!

unfortunately we do not ship to Jamaica. I’m sorry!! Do you know anyone with an address in the states, Canada, or Puerto Rico that could forward the package to you?

this might be tough with your work schedule, but try to eat every two to three hours and in smaller portions. This might be difficult especially if you are working a job where you are doing physical labor (just guessing by the 10 hour day, sorry if I’m wrong!) and need energy. Protein bars are great for in between snacks if you can carry a couple in you pocket or leave some at your work station. No matter when you work out (when ever you have 1-1.5 hours), eating smaller more frequent meals will speed up your metabolism and help you to burn fat which will allow any muscle definition to show.

We get this question a lot on this blog. Gaining weight or bulking muscles can sometimes be just as hard as loosing weight. What other activities do you do at school? Are you involved in a sport? I am asking because if you are doing a lot of cardio type exercise, that will cause you to loose weight on top of the P90X workouts. If you do play a sport, I would omit the cardio workouts from the P90X. This way you wont be getting any extra cardio.

If you want to add bulk or definition, go for heavier weights and do 8-10 reps. The last two reps should be really hard. If you can do 11, you need something heavier. Focus on really working hard with the resistance workout.

You might also want to skip the fat shredder phase of the nutrition plan. This is where most people really get their fat burning going. Make sure you calculate your nutritional level correctly, adding any outside activities, and try starting with phase 2.

I would first talk to your physician to make sure it’s ok to workout. It can take over a year for a full recovery. As long as it’s ok for you to workout and your abdominals are in good condition, it’s not too late to try and shrink your belly.
