P90X Charts by Program

I've been really slacking for the past 4 months without exercising. I feel it's time to get back in shape and stick to it this time. This is how intense P90X is:

As you can see, Plyometrics "is the mother of all workouts" in this program. In one hour, I burned 1,000 calories!!!

Next, we have my max heart rates. I have been to a doctor and I do have palpatations, so don't be alarmed by these figures:

Really, I am healthy, I just have an abnormally high heart rate. I reach up to 225, but an average healthy adult is at around 175.

Next is my average heart rate by program:

Not too bad...right?...

Last, is the percentage of time throughout the exercise that I stay within my suggested heart zone for exercising:

I think I need to up my heart zone... Tony Horton states a few times that his heart rate climbs up to 140 and to him, that is REALLY fast... I'm not terribly out of shape, I swear!

P90X Does Work, But You Have to Stick With It!

If you're looking for a workout that gives you the "no pain, no gain" feeling, here it is. P90X is for people who are already fairly fit and want an intense FULL body workout. It combines many practices such as Yoga, Kenpo Karate, Weight Lifting, and Cardio. My background includes 12 years of Tae Kwon Do and with the commercialization of the sport I have stopped practicing. P90X was my way back into regaining the strength and speed I had lost over the past 5 years. I haven't been the most committed with this program, but it has left a solid impression on me as a sure-fire way to getting back into TOP shape.
