Everything you wanted to know about P90X3......

 

I am so excited about this new workout program by Tony Horton and Beachbody I can’t wait to get it and get started on my 90 day transformation!  I finished T25 a few weeks ago and have been putting together random workouts while waiting for X3 to come out.  I am READY for a new program and some guidelines that are laid out right in front of me.  No thinking involved, wake up – look at the calendar – push play – 30 minutes – DONE!  Before my brain even realizes it is awake – I love it!!

Here are the details for you:

The number one excuse I hear people use when it comes to working out is “I don’t have time.”  Well, P90X3 is the ultimate excuse buster!  Every workout is 30 minutes and the clock starts the minute you push play.  30 minutes a day is the length of one TV show – DVR it and use that 30 minutes to get a workout in!

  
P90X3 works in a short time by using “Muscle acceleration”.  P90X fans loved the use of muscle confusion – which introduced variety to the workouts and prevented plateauing. P90X3 takes a hint from that success and from studies showing the most dramatic body transformations happen within the first 30 minutes of exercise. Enter muscle acceleration, a Tony Horton-approved highly-structured schedule with an incredibly high level of intensity and an unprecedented variety of moves. The gurus behind P90X3 combined exercises and added some twists to maximize your time and keep every muscle challenged for a full 30 minutes.



People also think in home workout programs can be boring.  But with X3 you get the entertainment of Tony Horton and the most workouts of any Beachbody program.   With 16 workouts in the base kit, they switch it up before you have a chance to consider boredom. From cardio to strength to pilates to MMX, there is something for everyone.

 

You might think P90X3 is not for you because you haven’t done a P90X program before, but P90X3 is indeed a workout for everyone. You don’t have to have any previous P90X experience in order to get killer results. For a beginner, the variety of workouts in P90X3 is the perfect place to discover your fitness style.  If the move can be modified there is a cast member showing you how.  But don’t expect to be an expert on day one. And those of you that are fitness veterans will still be challenged.  As Tony says, ”You don’t get off easy, you just get to finish faster!”

Of course there are always some bells and whistles too good to ignore. First off, the Coach exclusive: If P90X3 is purchased through me as your coach any time from December 10th – 31st (including Challenge Packs), you will receive an exclusive P90X3 baseball cap. You will also get an exclusive P90X One on One: On One Leg DVD.  Plus if you purchase a challenge pack from anytime until December 31^st you will save $25! 

 

So when can you get it?

You can score your very own P90X3 by the end of the day on December 10th.  If you want yours by Christmas you will need to order by December 15th to ensure Christmas delivery.  P90X3 will be released on my site and you have a couple of options. 

1) The challenge pack: There will be an introductory price of $180 vs $205 for the Challenge Pack which includes the 90 day workout, the nutrition guide, program manual, schedule of workouts, shakeology, free 30 day trial of the club membership, free shipping, access to me as your coach and access to the P90X3 Challenge group I will be running.  I am only accepting a select number of individuals who would like to get my support, motivation and accountability to start and finish this program.  The point is to get in the best shape of your life in 90 days!!!  I will walk you through every single step of the program using the nutrition guide, the workouts and the 24/7 support of me as your coach in a private closed group.  I will teach you how to meal plan, prep, and set yourself up for success! 

 

2) Purchase the program alone.  That is $119.00, and the equipment needed are weights, bands and an optional pull up bar but you can use a band with an over the door attachment if you don't have one!  I used the bands when I did P90X a few years ago and they work!

What Type of Holiday Eater are YOU?



How do you handle the holidays as far as eating goes?  Did you know there are "types" of eaters?  I found this very interesting article from Harvard Health.  See if one of these styles sounds like you and try and implement the tips below to help you be successful this holiday season!



Emily Garber, R.D., has identified several “eating styles” and devised holiday eating strategies based on each type. Which type of social eater are you? Look at the statements below and see if you recognize yourself in one:

Eager: All bets are off for you during the holidays. You jump at the excuse to "break your diet" and go all-out, sampling the variety of delicious holiday fare, thinking, "I can indulge...it's a special occasion!"

Not a party person: The idea of holiday get togethers unleashes social anxiety for you. The upside is the food. To help you cope, you might treat yourself and eat a lot to make the event worth your while.

Pleaser: You know how important it is to eat healthfully, and manage to do so when you’re on your own. But when faced with social situations it’s more important to you to keep relationships running smoothly and to feel part of the group. You don’t want to offend anyone by refusing the eggnog, or the offer to take home the leftover pie.

Self-conscious: Parties and holiday gatherings make you feel as if all eyes are watching what and how much you eat. The last thing you want is to look like you’re "on a diet" or worse, hear about it. So you eat whatever is served and try to keep up with those around you.

Balanced: If you eat well most of the time and usually pass on getting seconds or dessert, you probably have an easier time enjoying holiday treats. These are special occasions and indulging yourself can’t be all that bad for you!

Holiday eating tips:

Eager: Yes, you can live a little and enjoy! These tips for the "Eager" type can help you decide how much is enough, and can also be great add-on approaches for the other social-eater types listed below:



• Don’t pass up special holiday foods, but skip seconds, or choose to eat two of your favorite cookies instead of four. Savor every bite and enjoy things in moderation this season!
• If there are certain foods that you really love and don't want to miss — like those creamy mashed potatoes or the dessert that's just calling your name — then limit ordinary foods like corn or a dinner roll to save calories where you won't miss them. Keep in mind that this isn’t your only chance to eat these favorites. You can have pumpkin pie in March if you want to.
• Watch out for the treat that keeps on giving. Avoid leftovers — freeze or give them away to help limit overeating. Try to get back into healthy eating patterns the next day and you won't let special events become major set-backs.

Not a party person: Sure, a holiday social gathering is not your thing, but if you decide to attend and don’t want to overindulge, try these suggestions:



• Food might be the one thing at a party that isn't going to stress you and might even make you glad to be there. But you might not feel so happy afterward. Remember that overindulging is a temporary fix and most likely just covers up how you’re feeling inside.
• Consider other solutions for dealing with your social anxiety. Take along your knitting or offer to help your host to give yourself a little distance from the social interactions. You might be pleasantly surprised if you take a risk and join in the festivities!

Pleaser: You don't like to make a scene or offend anyone by turning down food they put time into making, even when you'd rather not eat it. You just don't feel comfortable making your own needs a priority. The good news is that you can do what's right for you while also helping others feel happy.



• Rather than saying "No thank you," if you don't like to turn down an offer, try saying, "Thanks, that looks delicious, but I'm full." No one will take statements like that the wrong way, and you will still be able to make the healthy choices you want.

Self-conscious: Making healthful eating decisions is tough when you feel like you’re under a microscope.



• Many people will be taking moderate portions, so you probably won’t stand out if you eat carefully.
• It's perfectly acceptable to say "No thank you" or "I'm full" when offered something. Keep in mind that although you might feel as though all eyes are on you, holiday events are pretty hectic, so it’s unlikely anyone will notice or remember what you ate or drank. Try it and do the right thing for yourself!

Balanced: You should feel great that your year-long efforts have left you feeling healthier and more positive. Because you’re on track with your health goals, it’s okay to treat yourself on special occcations. The most important thing is simply to return to your regular routine after the holiday.



No matter what your social eating type, the following ideas can also help you enjoy seasonal treats without regret:

• Use a small plate if you can and don’t stack it high. Leaving space between each item on the plate is a simple and effective way to control portions.
• Either eat or talk—but don’t do both at the same time. It distracts you from really enjoying what you're eating and before you realize it, you’ve eaten more than you intended.
• Most of all, enjoy what you do eat! Eat slowly and savor the flavor of each morsel. Remember, you don't need to eat a large amount to enjoy good food while celebrating with family and friends.

So what type of eater are you?  I used to be the "eager" eater, but since January I have tried really hard to change my old eating habits and now with meal planning, shakeology, and Beachbody challenge groups I can confidently say I am a "balanced" eater.  It has taken me the entire year to feel that way but it has been worth it!
