Tips for P90X Exercises

Generally P90X covers fitness with 2 main exercises .
Which is Weight-Lifting and Cardio exercises .

Today I am going to give tips for Cardio type exercises ( Kenpo , Cardio X , Pylometrics )

  1. Stick with the timer and instructors . This will keep your heart rate up , by all means you will burn more calories .
  2. DO NOT TAKE BREAKS MORE THAN 30 SECONDS .
  3. Drink water but not too much . While doing cardio types exercises , drinking too much water results in pain in the stomach . Also drinking water time = breaks . DO NOT TAKE LONG BREAKS .
  4. Do cardio exercises in the morning on empty stomach . In the morning before the breakfast , your blood sugar level is low . When you workout on empty stomach you force your body to use fat as an energy source .
  5. Work-out in cool room , your body will put more effort to heat you up . This result in burning more calories . Also working-out in warm room makes you less active . You may feel you dont want to workout . Low temprature wakes you up .
  6. If you are already doing these and you still feel those exercises easy for you . Try speeding up the exercises , you can simply turn the speed up on P90X videos .
Example ( I am using gom player , you can look on google to findout how to speedup your videos on your video player ) ;

 

 I usually use 1.4x speed . It is enough intensity for me . You can findout what is working for you .



Have a good day .
