Home Workout Tips and Advice!How Much Does P90X Cost?Posted by sara on February 26, 2010
0 Comments Tagged: p90x
If you go to this official site http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/p90x.php you can see that you should receive twelve workout DVD’s and a thirteenth that gives you an overview of the program, along with a nutrition guide and a fitness guide. So how much does P90X cost – $119.85! Now I have gone to different sites and seen P90X for sale, and more cheaply on many of them. However, one of the biggest complaints that customer service gets is that someone ordered from Amazon or another site and purchased P90X more reasonably but all they received was the P90X DVD’s and none of the guides or informational paperwork that you should receive before you get started on such an intense program. These guides and information help you get the maximum results from this program and without them you don’t even know which workout to do on what day or any kind of nutritional help. So before purchasing P90X, do your homework. How much does P90X cost is a relative question depending on what you want to receive with your order and if you want to get the maximum results from your workouts. So make sure you get your moneys worth. Posted under > P90X Fitness
How To Bulk Up: The BasicsPosted by Elizabeth Renter on February 25, 2010
Not everyone’s main fitness goal is to trim down. For many people, getting bigger is their ultimate goal. People wondering how to bulk up often have a high metabolism, something those of us who struggle with weight can only wish for. People with a high muscle mass and low body fat often blast through calories at an amazing rate. When your metabolism is higher, putting on weight and even maintaining the weight you have can be difficult. These people often end up having to take in calories that would mean diet failure for the rest of us. It just goes to show how drastically different each person’s physiological makeup is.
Weight maintenance is often said to be as simple as calories in/ calories out. Sometimes it is this simple. In most cases, however, it is far more complicated. When curious how to bulk up, you want to ensure you are not just gaining weight but that you are gaining the right kind of weight. Fat, though sometimes easier to gain, is not the right kind.
The key to building muscle is proper nutrition and weight training. In order to put on pounds of mass you will need to work hard, whether at the gym or at home with a muscle building workout like P90X.
Something to keep in mind, however, is that as you put on muscle, your metabolism will climb even higher. This happens because muscle requires more fuel to survive than fat does. It is a common problem among naturally slim people who want to know how to bulk up. So, as you build the muscle you must also increase the amount you are feeding them.
While things like pizza and fried foods are high in calories, muscles don’t just need calories. Protein plays a huge role in bulking up. Our muscles rely on protein for building and repairing. When you are having to dramatically increase your calories to maintain the weight you have, let alone adding weight, things like high quality whey protein shakes and protein bars can be a huge asset.
Simply put: when wondering how to bulk up, increase weight training and the consumption of healthy muscle fuel. High quality protein, along with other healthy foods will feed the muscles you are building in a way that other calories can’t. Posted under > P90X Fitness, FITNESS

Coming Soon: Insanity Workout!Posted by Elizabeth Renter on February 24, 2010
Hosted and developed by Shaun T in conjunction with Beachbody, the Insanity workout program is intense to the tenth power! Shaun T knows a thing or two about getting and maintaining a top notch bod.

Massage Great For Regularily Exercised MusclesPosted by sara on February 24, 2010
To test the validity of this common practice in the sports world, a study was done on a group of athletes. After an intense exercise one leg was massaged and one was left to rest. The massaged muscles recovered significantly more function and strength after the four-day trial. Also, the muscles that were not massaged had more damaged muscle fibers and more white blood cells, which can indicate inflammation. The massaged muscles weighed less than the rested muscles, suggesting the massages prevented swelling. So doesn’t it make sense if we are working hard to get our bodies in shape with a good workout that we would let our muscles know afterward that, although we do want them nice and tight and toned that we also want them to be nice and flexible and recover more quickly. So make sure you stretch after your workout and make massage a part of your monthly routine. Posted under General Health and Fitness

Created by Brett Hoebel in conjunction with Beachbody, RevAbs is the solution to that ribbed midsection you have always wanted. Hoebel is an international fitness expert responsible for training some of the hottest people on the planet, actresses and Victoria Secret models. He knows a thing or two about fitness and hard work and has created this program to deliver major results to people just like you.
In a short time we will be offering the RevAbs program here at Extreme Body Workout. You will be able to get this amazing system backed with our amazing level of support.

The system uses Abcentrics, developed by Hoebel, to work the abdominal muscles from 6 angles. With this system you work every inch of the abs, ensuring they are tight from ribs to hips.
The key with developing a rock hard six-pack is building the abdominal muscles and burning the fat that hides them.

In addition, Hoebel includes a Jump Start plan to get your fat loss off to a fast start.

Buy ShakeologyPosted by sara on February 23, 2010
Why buy Shakeology? A lot of people are daunted by the price of $119.95 for a 30 supply which breaks down to about $4 a day. If we looked at that fact ONLY, we could say, “You’re right, it is expensive.” But Shakeology is a meal replacement. Now imagine if you will what it costs to get a meal, or some of us, a Starbucks. Just about the same. The exception is, Shakeology is good for you! Starbucks will fill you up with caffeine and sugar. Fast food will fill you up with fat, and vast amounts of calories. If you take a look at Shakeology from the meal perspective, and that it’s improving your fitness and nutrition, I think you will find that the price is fair, and also in the same ball park as what you would spend for lunch, a meal, or Starbucks. So why buy Shakeology? Well, why not? Doesn’t it just make sense to buy something thats, in the long run, actually cheaper than a full meal, is healthy, AND tastes great! Sounds like a good idea to me. So when you are next searching for a good meal replacement shake, check out and buy Shakeology, give it a try! Posted under NUTRITION, Shakeology
Maximize Your P90X ResultsPosted by Elizabeth Renter on February 22, 2010
The P90X workout system is so extreme and so effective that you will get results even by just going through the motions. Who wants mediocre results though? This program has the ability to take your body to a whole new level. You know that ideal body you have in mind? More than likely it’s closer than you think with the P90X results. You can’t just shuffle your way through the workouts; you have to come with enthusiasm.
Throughout the P90X program you will hear Tony Horton shouting at you to “Bring It!” He knows there are two groups of people at home working out with him–those who are just “getting through” the workouts and those really trying to get the most out of the workouts. Pushing yourself to your breaking point isn’t easy, but major P90X results don’t come easy.
Maximizing your P90X results begins with putting forth maximum effort. This doesn’t only apply to the workouts, but to the nutrition as well. Working out like crazy won’t do a thing if you are eating junk at every chance. Follow the workout plan and also follow the P90X Nutrition Guide. If you really want to get the best results, consider the P90X Peak Recovery Formula for after your workouts. This drink gives your body the perfect blend of nutrients for maximum muscle recovery.
P90X will get you amazing results. You will get what you put into each workout, however. Give each workout everything you’ve got and you will be rewarded many times over! Posted under > P90X Fitness
What to Expect with Chalene ExtremePosted by Elizabeth Renter on February 22, 2010
Muscle Burns Fat.The ChaLEAN/Chalene Extreme program is based on that simple statement. The entire program is developed to increase your muscle mass in order to boost metabolism. Will that make you bulky and masculine looking? No. If you are a woman, there is a very slim chance that you will develop masculine looking muscle mass without hormonal supplements.
Instead, “muscle burns fat” refers to the simple fact that a body with greater muscle mass has a higher metabolism. This means, the more muscle you have, the easier it will be to lose fat. By putting muscle on with the Chalene Extreme program, you are creating great definition and whittling away at the squishy stuff.
Lifting heavy weights slowly, according to Chalene Extreme, will maximize your muscle gains, giving you greater results in a shorter amount of time. So when you begin this program don’t expect to set any speed records with your weight lifting reps. Slowing down allows each muscle to be engaged and it also means you will reach muscle fatigue with less reps (definitely a good thing).
Expect major changes when you commit to three months with Chalene Extreme. Johnson states that by following her program you can expect to lose up to 60% of your body fat within those three months. If that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is. So, whether you spell it ChaLEAN Extreme or Chalene Extreme, the results are the same. Put in 3 months of hard work and see a lifetime of fitness goals come to fruition! Posted under ChaLEAN Extreme Fitness
The Secret To Not Catching The Cold And FluPosted by sara on February 22, 2010
I firmly believe eating a diet rich in organic foods is an excellent form of prevention, particularly in a western world where medical treatments can be extremely expensive! If you think organic foods are costly, think about the expenses associated with future doctor visits, prescriptions and pain management-and the list goes on if you don’t take 100% responsibility for your health and become prevention-proactive now! So the number one secret is prevention. Eat a diet that is rich in antioxidants to boost your immune system. This means eating as many bright colored fruits and vegetables (of course choose organic!) that are rich in antioxidants so your immune system can do its job – protect you against common colds, flues and serious illnesses. In fact there is one thing that health officials agree on: the common cold, flu and serious diseases can not take a hold of a healthy immune system. And why choose organic? Science is proving that organic foods are healthier for you and contain higher counts of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. Incorporating things like raw garlic can help if you feel yourself start to get sick because it is an all natural antibiotic. Also drinking lots of fluids will help flush things out of your system. Since it is recommend that we get lots of antioxidants into our system every day and an average person doesn’t eat enough of those organic fruits and veggies to get them, try adding a superfood or some kind of powdered greens to your diet to help supplement what you aren’t actually eating.

Exercise and BreastfeedingPosted by sara on February 21, 2010
No. Studies have shown no difference in the volume or composition of the milk or babies’ weight gain. One study showed a slight increase in milk supply for the women who exercised regularly, but because of the small size of the study this increase may not be significant.
Research has not shown a noticable increase in lactic acid buildup after moderate exercise (50% & 75% intensity). The lactic acid in breastmilk does increase somewhat if mom exercises to maximum (100%) intensity, also described as exhaustive exercise. This increase may be present up to 90 minutes post-exercise. There are no known harmful effects for the baby.
Most studies have found no difference in acceptance of the breast, even after maximum intensity exercise. Although a highly publicized 1992 study indicated that baby might fuss or refuse expressed milk from a mom who had been exercising at 100% intensity, the results were questionable because the babies were fed the milk by dropper (unfamiliar to these babies), and the mothers reported that the babies had not had problems with nursing after exercise in the past. A more recent study showed no change in infants’ acceptable of mom’s milk an hour after exercise, even for the moms who exercised at maximum intensity (and thus did have a slight increase in lactic acid in their milk).

High Protein Snacks: An Essential Part of a Muscle Building Fitness PlanPosted by Elizabeth Renter on February 20, 2010
When you set your sights on a fitness goal, you want to make sure that all of your lifestyle choices point in the same direction. Your workouts are a huge part of achieving the body you want. But, your workouts will only get you so far. Being able to make the right food choices is essential in making the most of those workouts. Not only will high protein snacks help keep your metabolism running high throughout the day, they also help to repair and build muscle tissue.
Eating small meals or several snacks throughout the day has been shown to keep the metabolism running at a steady rate. It’s when you starve yourself that the blood sugar sinks and spikes, leading to increased fat storage. A steady stream of fuel, through sources like high quality protein bars, can keep the metabolic fires burning consistently throughout the day.
Another benefit of high protein snacks, and why you see bodybuilders taking protein supplements, is their ability to repair and help build muscle tissue. When you workout, your muscles experience tiny tears or trauma. This explains the muscle soreness you feel after a good workout. The repair of these tissues is what leads to muscle growth. Protein is responsible for muscle repair and therefore muscle repair and strength gains.
The best high protein snacks are those that contain high quality ingredients at a reasonable price and with great flavor. Egg whites, chicken breasts, and yogurt are awesome choices but check out the P90X protein bars for superior quality protein that is perfect for on-the-go snacking.

Setting Goals Equals Finding The Right Workout Program For YouPosted by sara on February 20, 2010
The good news is that every one of those goals can be accomplished. Each one can be the start of a fun exercise program you can enjoy and from which you can benefit. Is your goal weight control? Then start with a low-impact or non-impact aerobic activity and work up to at least 30 minutes almost every day. If your goal is strengthening your muscles, there are plenty of strength-conditioning programs that include the use of free weights, weight machines, exercise tubing or calisthenics. If your goal is improved flexibility, you could try yoga or a simple stretching routine that covers all of your major muscle groups. Maybe you know what you want to accomplish, but don’t know how to get started. Well, one place you can start is doing some research and looking into different web sites that offer information about different workout programs. In this day and age there are so many different programs out there that there is a good fit for everyone. Some people are involved with certain activies that keep them fit and others hit the gym every day but if you don’t have that sort of personal discipline than a good workout program from home might be just the thing. Programs like our P90X or ChaLEAN Extreme are just a few of the workout programs you can check out at WWW.ExtremeBodyWorkout.Com. Posted under FITNESS
Using Dietary Fiber Supplements in Your Weight Loss PlanPosted by Elizabeth Renter on February 19, 2010
Fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. Naturally found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, fiber is present in those plant-derived foods that are closest to their natural state. In other words, although other carbohydrate products like cookies and French fries contain dietary fiber, they are poor sources. Closer to their natural state, things like oatmeal and sweet potatoes will have higher fiber counts and give you more bang for your caloric buck.
As with any supplement, if your diet is perfect you have no use for them. But really, whose diet is perfect? Dietary fiber supplements can be a good addition on days when you can’t seem to get your fiber count up through diet alone.
Dietary fiber supplements and fiber through whole foods can assist with your weight loss efforts through a few avenues. Fiber tends to be bulky and can fill you up better than other empty calories. This means a fiber-rich meal is often lower in calories than one that is lacking roughage. Also, because it fills you up, you will tend to eat less.
And no discussion of fiber would be complete without talking about its effects on the digestive system. Fiber keeps things moving. Being regular has its benefits both in weight loss and in general health. When you consistently eliminate waste from your body, you find it easier to maintain a steady weight and you just generally feel better.
While a dietary fiber supplement is not a must-have, it isn’t a bad product to have around. The American Heart Association recommends 25 grams of fiber each day. On days when you just can’t hit that mark, consider a natural source fiber supplement to make up the difference. Posted under NUTRITION
We Are What We Eat Part IIPosted by sara on February 19, 2010

Medications are toxic chemicals that suppress symptoms while damaging the body at a cellular level. Many of them damage the immune system. This is a foreign concept if you’ve taken a pill for every ache and pain for thirty years. Instead of investing in disease with your time and money, why not invest in health? Instead of medical insurance and over the counter and prescription drugs, co-pays, and sick days, what if you invested your time into learning about the best supplements? What if you spent your money on healthy food? What if you spent time preparing food and truly being involved with what fuels and nourishes you? What if what went into your body to nourish and heal you was one of the most important things in your life? Does it seem like a radical concept? It is for most people. But consider this – would you rather take the time to learn about nutrition now? To gain the knowledge and the appreciation of how our bodies actually work? Or would you like to spend even more energy later on in life learning about your new disease and all of the drugs and allergies that come along with it?
