I do everything in the video except the oblique v ups, those just feel awkward and I dont like doin them haha. And I do the mason twists while holding a 5 lb weight. After im done with the video, I top it off with 100 crunches, 4 separate sets of 25. And I do 1 minute of the plank excercise.

 

For those that dont know, the plank is this position, and holding it for as long as you can. I do 1 minute every day.

Alright I got ya but what about the fat burning process? I still have a little bit of flab on my stomach. Im not fat by any means but theres definitely some body fat on my stomach. Should I just run that off in the meantime or what?

Yeah man, if your schedule permits, a run everyday is exactly what one would need if they're trying to shed off a few pounds of body fat. Abs every other day plus running everyday in addition to a pretty good diet would get you a six pack in a matter of weeks.

It will probably aid you in losing some weight, but remember diet is the most important factor not supplements.

[Jammin]

I know, I got a really solid diet going actually. I weighed myself yesterday (1 month exactly after I started going to the gym again) and I was down 8 pounds, so 2 lbs a week. Right on track. I KNOW I'm gaining muscle too cuz I can see a size improvement in my arms and legs.

Not doing the P90x but since I started workout out consistently 2 months ago I've noticed a huge change. My triceps, pecs, biceps, shoulders and traps are all way bigger than they were when I first started. Only thing I gotta do more of is cardio. I still have a bit of a stomach because I stopped playing basketball for a while and my diet sucks. I eat some real unhealthy [expletive].

Amazing man. I finished my 25th day and I look way better than when I started. Six pac is way more defined, I went from doing 16 pullups to 30 straight (reverse grip). I'm in great shape.

[Legacy]

Let me buy it off you when you're done!

[JWaLL]

Let me buy it off you when you're done!

Psh, I'll be doing this program in rounds haha. After my 90 days I'm taking a 3 week break to work on building up muscle mass in the gym, then I'm gonna hop back into the program.

 

Sorry though, you should definitely buy it though haha the results are ridiculous and I'm not even 1/3 of the way done.
