Hi Jorge,

try and ice it after each workout. Take it easy with that side and it’s really bothering you, go see a doctor.

I think I pulled a muscle on my left shoulder while doing the kempo dvd. What should I do to keep on going?

Get a Body Bugg…it will tell you how many calories you are burning at all times; hence saving time asking 100 different forums the calorie loss. And to Ruben…You are quite wrong. I am 300 lbs and was able to do the fit test, and do 3 pull ups at my ”extreme” weight. There is no requirement for changing your life other than WILL TO DO IT.

All you have to do is your best, and forget the rest my friend.

I am 30 yrs old 275 at 5′ 11′ how many calories vs a “fit person” will I burn per workout? Bear in mind I do all reps for all exercises and all dvd’s except for cardio x and I replace that with an extra kenpo x?

Hello Amy,

it’s about 600 give or take a few. This also can vary based on your own intensity levels. If you are just going through the motions, you wont burn as much and the program wont be as beneficial.

Hello Bruce,

have you had any gains in muscle mass? This could be why your actual weight on the scale hasn’t changed much. I would get a body fat tester and start measuring yourself once or twice a month. This way you can see that you are losing fat and gaining muscle.

According to the Nutrition Plan, you should be eating about 2400 calories per day. It could be possible that you aren’t eating enough. It’s important to eat smaller portions but more frequently so your metabolism speeds up. Eating very little, 3 times a day, can actually slow it down. You want to be sure you are eating 3 meals and a snack in between each meal.

Another factor could be the kinds of foods you are eating. To get lean, you need to reduce simple carbs and increase protein. Protein helps build muscle which increases your metabolism. Simple carbs (white rice, pasta, potatoes, breads, etc.) are used for energy when we exercise at higher intensity levels (cardio), but any unused carbohydrates are stored as fat. Eating more than you burn can halt weight loss.

bruce
I’ve used P90 X for about a year now and love the workouts. I consume no more than 2000 calories per day and I’m finding that I haven’t lost that much weight. I’m 5′10” and started the program weighing about 180-185lbs. I don’t think I’ve lost that much weight and my concern is that I’m not eating properly. I don’t indulge in junk food so is it possible I’m not eating enough? Please Help!

Hi Bruce- I think it is possible that you aren’t eating enough. If your body thinks you are starving yourself, your metabolism will slow down. I would slowly start upping your calorie intake- but this is all just based off of what I learned in my college Fitness class

To dyna. Before u start the program u have to Do the fit test and a 260lb person will not pass the fit test. So know before u have a comment. Another thing is, is they give u options to make the workouts harder. You shouldnt be worried about the calories u burn but the nutrition part of p90x. That’s where the weight loss is gonna affect u the most.

Amazing at all the misinformation!!! A 260lb person WILL burn more than a 160lb person. Think about it this way, the 260lb person expends more energy at moving eg: such as a leg raise while working out, that would be like a 160lb person wearing an ankle weight. Make sense.. Beachbody needs to give consumers proper info.
