While I don't use a program...Thanks Steely Dad.<br />While I don't use a program like P90x, from the training I have had I can say variety in your workout is the key to achieving continued results. I always try new classes at the gym, see others do a new move and follow suit.<br />Core/abs can be very tough to get results and they seem directly tied to your nutritional choices. I also will look on the web for new workout ideas and that helps to not fall into the same boring routine. I also do very slow and few reps one day and then very high number of reps the next for abs. Seems to work.<br />It sounds like you have made some great strides on your own and just an outside point of view. Don't watch your weight or pick a target weight. The second I walk in the gym, the muscle starts to build and my weight goes through the roof. As you know muscle weighs more than fat. <br />Keep up the great work.

You and I sound a lot ali...Dude, VERY good article! You and I sound a lot alike. We have similar builds and can build muscle in much the same manner. I'm 5'10 and was about 205. I started working out about six weeks ago and am now down to 188. I'm trying to get it down to 180. Not sure what else I can do to get there. My work outs include weight training/ab exercises plus 30 minutes of hard cardio. In addition, I have completely changed my "lifestyle." Notice I did not say "diet" because this is not a diet but a lifestyle change. I eat "optimal" foods: high protein, high fiber, low fat and low carb. My cholesterol numbers, which were abysmal, have bounced back to within a very healthy range. I've never known my BMI so I can't comment there but I did do a body fat count a number of years ago and I think it was in the 5-7% range. I know if I had taken it more recently, I would've expected that number to be higher.<br /><br />But you're absolutely right about the shortcomings of the BMI as an accurate reading of health. I know some kids who are considered "obese" according to the BMI but you can tell there is no way that's possible. We definitely need a new way.<br /><br />Great stuff, man. Keep it up!<br /><br />PS Tell me how to get those abs! I do hundreds of ab exercises and have changed what I eat. I do have some good definition coming out but I still have that spare tire, especially in the "love handle" area. Any advice?Steely Dadhttp://www.steelydad.comnoreply@blogger.com
