Insanity / P90X fitness challenge – Page 17

I already have a dutch blog about my fitness challenge but i wanna get as many people motivated as i can. If i can get at least one ps member into this am happy. Photo update may 2013 Pictures from me today vs me one year ago. Nearly naked giraffe allert &diams; &diams; &diams; Spoiler I did the 60 days insanity challenge and adjusted the way i eat 180 degrees. Insanity is by far the hardest thing i ever did in my life. If you did it you know why it is called insanity. Like president John F Kennedy said in his famous man on the moon speech "we choose to go to the moon............not because it is easy but because it is hard". I also choosed a very very tough workout because doing something wich is very hard gives you a lot more gratification then doing something easy. longer 2013 informercial After 60 days i had 30 days before holiday so i did another extra 30 days of insanity. My insanity fit test result after 60days number between ( ) is nr from first fit test, first nr was the final test. The power jumps part of the test was the most hard. 1 switch kicks 107 (50) 2 power jacks 49 (34) 3 power knees 81 (55) 4 power jumps 35 (19) 5 globe jumps 11 (5) 6 suicide jumps 18 (6) 7 push-up jacks 23 (12) 8 low plank oblique 45 (26) 8 days ago i started the P90x program. Today am at 195 pounds (still 6.53 feet tall) so I lost 42 pounds in 5 months &diams; &diams; &diams; These are my P90x starting pictures from today. Feel free to ask me anything about this fitness programs. I always say it doesn't matter were you stand now it is were you wanna finish. This fitness program is like poker you get what you put into it very honest. So maybe this is YOUR MOMENT to get moving and loose some pounds. I did this because it is hard and it helps me to believe even more in myself. I now TRUELY believe i can achieve anything i want, in life, in poker, work, relationships etc FOOD/EATING I would like adress a small section to food/eating. During the 90 days i did insanity i never spend a big time on the eating/food part of the challenge, which looking back now was pretty bad. What i did first was make a list of everything i eat during a standard day. Then i just looked up exactly how much kcall was in everything i eat. It is like poker you collect data and start to analyse it. After this i just cutted away everything wich had a lot of kcall. So for 90days i did not eat any bread, i just took crackers. I did not eat patatoes or rice, i took burito's and salad. I took white meat (fish and chicken) instead of red meat. Also i just did not eat any candy, pizza or mc donalds stuf etc and i started to drink a ton of water (at least 2 liters a day). Drinking water gives you a more full feeling + it takes your body more energy to disposal water through your body then it takes energy out of it so drinking water is loosing weight by doing nothing extra. I lost about 1kg a week with this crash dieet but i think i lost some muscles on the way. Now what i would recommend is find somebody who knows a lot about food. Calculate how much kcall you are allowed to have on a day and then go 500kcall below it. Then you will still loose weight but in a better way, if you combine it with insanity you will get better results in the long run then some one who just starves himself for a few months and then starts to eat normal again.

hmmm zo'n echt body buildings lichaam vindt ik persoonlijk niet mooi al heb ik inmiddels wel echt zwaar respect voor mensen die zo hard trainen.

Greg Plit zijn lichaam zit zo'n beetje wel echt op randje van wat ik mooi vind, ik ga liever voor een slankere meer beach body look. Is het allemaal nog effe wat natuurlijker.

Zoveel mensen zoveel smaken..............

EDIT

hmmmm i do not like a realy bodybuilding body i do respect bodybuilders since i know how hard they workout

Greg plit his body is on the edge of what i think is beautyfull, i preffer the more beach body look. This is the more naturally look

Read this completely(and dutch also ♦). I will probaly try in winter. I am now running 4-5times a week. Probaly building up to marathon. So I will just stay with that, but in winter running in snow/really cold temperatures isn't that nice. So insanity seems perfect to fill that gap

am sorry for not posting for a while :(

I got a knee injury a few weeks ago together with a tennis elbow (don't know if this is correct English ♦) Tennis elbow are cause by working out to much and the knee issue started cause i walked around with worn orthotics.

Both issue's forced me to take a break wich realy realy sucks big time. But after my summer holiday i will make a come back. More motivated then ever, also bought some nice new gear ♦ ♦

It is one of the best things a bought the last 5 years i just love them cause they are very easy to use and you can make small increasements in the range you need it the most. I also use them as push up stands ♠_biggrin:

guesss who's back ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

I finally started with p90x again since it looks like my old injuries are gone.

I have the new bowflex dumbells and it makes working out so much more easy. Specialy with p90x were you change with the amount of weights a lot.

Looking in the mirror i never started a work out with this level of fitness before so am very curious were i am able to end after 90 days.

While not working about when i had the injuries i haven't gained any weight wich is pretty nice. At the moment am using a food schedule to make sure i get right amount of stuf in my body over the course of the day. It took a while to figure it all out but now i think i will be able to get even more results then before.

I also totally quited eated the bad stuff like ice cream, mc donalds kinda stuff etc. I just don't even like it anymore.

Am of for p90x yoga ♦ ♦
