P90X Success Story (Jeremy Yost)

P90X Success Story of Extreme Weight Loss
Jeremy's amazing P90X success story is another one about extreme weight loss. I wrote about Richard Neale's extreme P90X results here. Jeremy started his P90X journey at 375 pounds. This number is only an estimate because the maximum weight that home scales can read don't beyond 350 pounds. In total, Jeremy dropped over 175 pounds during his body transformation. He did this through incredible persistence and a huge dose of consistency.

I don't know

P90X2 Total Body Review

If you have any questions about this workout, contact me at buildahardbody@gmail.com.

First Impressions

The name of this 62 minutes routine tells you everything you need to know. Expect to get worked out all over, from head to toe. Recommended gear are a foam roller, stability ball, medicine ball, chin-up bar, and weights or bands. You may be able to do without the balls, but since this is a resistance training day that includes pull-ups, the weights and chin-up bar are not really

Should You Take Multivitamins and Supplements with Shakeology?

Are Wondering if You Should Take Multivitamins and Supplements with Shakeology? Keep Reading.

A little background about where I'm coming from. Before I started drinking Shakeology over six months ago, I used to take a handful of multivitamins and supplements each day. They weren’t cheap and not so fun to swallow, so I stopped taking them and continued to drink Shakeology. I actually feel better now. I have more energy, more endurance, and a more pronounced feeling of well being. Maybe

Body Beast for Smart Phones Coming Soon!

Breaking News: Body Beast Will Be Available on Your iPhone Soon.
I wrote here at length about how Body Beast has made it possible to get massive results without going to the gym. Sagi Kalev designed the program specifically so that you can do all the workouts with a minimum of equipment. Some of us can get fixated on gear instead of results. Remember that results come about from your training, not your gym equipment. I heard a story about how the legendary bodybuilder Franco Columbo got his

Body Beast vs. the Gym

Why Body Beast Instead of a Gym?
Still skeptical that an at-home bodybuilding program can deliver massive results? Try it and see for yourself. All of Beachbody’s products come with a money back guarantee. Does your gym have that?

Exercise and the Fountain of Youth In You

Exercise Is the Fountain of Youth
For years, we have been told by people in the medical field that you can't do much about your genetic makeup. You are what you are and that’s just the way it is. You’ll grow old the same way your parents did. As with most all common beliefs, it turns out this one is not quite on the mark. There is a fountain of youth. It’s called exercise.

A new study has found that strenuous, long-term exercise may have anti-aging properties by the way it effects

Why I Drink Shakeology Every Day Without Fail

Shakeology is Rocket Fuel for the Body

When Beachbody first introduced Shakeology several years ago, it was advertised as a meal replacement shake. This was necessary due to the limitations of the market, because there was simply nothing available at the time which was comparable to Shakeology. It was a singular product and awareness of its benefits simply did not exist. The closest approximation to Shakeology was the lowly meal replacement shake. Through the years, this comparison has not

General Impressions of P90X2 Base and Back
Although P90X is a legendary workout program, there are some fitness enthusiasts who turn their noses at the cardio workouts, especially the much maligned Kempo X routine. I am the first to admit that the cardio component of P90X is not as hardcore as it could be, especially compared to the rest of the

Is Body Beast right for you?

Who Can Benefit from Body Beast
Are you ready to get BIG and do whatever it takes? If just the sound of the word BIG gets you pumped up, then you could be the perfect candidate for Body Beast. Although Body Beast is a muscle building program, I’m not going to approach it with any preconceived notions about what it is or who could benefit from it. The bottom line is that Sagi Kalev designed Body Beast for a broad population base, from the scrawny hard-gainer to the lumbering meathead. If your

Les Mills PUMP and Busting Weightlifting Myths

Les Mills PUMP and Weightlifting Myths
I've been interested in exercise and fitness for over twenty years so I'm constantly exposed to different ideas about weight training. There are a number of preconceived notions that many people have that are completely bogus, but nevertheless seem to be carved in granite because they never to go away. Even if science and research studies show them to be myths, these notions endure. I just got through my first round of Les Mills PUMP, which absolutely put

Body Beast Results (Jeff)

Body Beast Results: Hope for Hardgainers

The popular definition of a "hardgainer" is a person who works out hard with weights to build his body, but has a hard time putting on muscle. Weeks or months of consistent weight training will only produce minimal results. A hardgainer can't easily develop muscle size, and the most he can expect from his work is a small increase in muscle tone and more definition. Jeff in the video below never said that he is a hardgainer, but his comments are

How Much Weight Are You Pushing with Each Pushup

The Humble Pushup Is One of the Best Body Weight Exercises Known to Man

I admit that pushups are not my favorite exercise. I can do my fair share of them, but I am unlikely to beat a well conditioned dude in a pushup contest. I attribute my aversion to pushups from my time in the Marine Corps. They were used as punishment for every imaginable type of infraction. Drop a rifle, do twenty pushups. Not address a senior Marine in the appropriate manner, twenty pushups. Ask to use the head

7 Substitutes for Diet-Killing Picnic Foods

By Joe Wilkes

It's almost summertime, which brings the incongruous collision of picnic season and swimsuit season. The weather's perfect for hiking, camping, barbecuing, and days at the beach—lots of opportunities for outdoor exercise, but just as many opportunities to pig out at pool parties, luaus, outdoor festivals, and county fairs. Here are some foods to try avoiding during the dog days of summer, and some ideas for substitutions for picnic favorites.
