The Holiday Season is just around the corner. With the kick off of Black Friday- one of the biggest shopping days of the year, and Black "Cyber" Monday- the Internet's biggest shopping day, you can feel the stress of the Holiday Season creeping in. Why spend hours in lines at your local mall or time driving to find that perfect gift? Every year more and more people are using the Internet to find gifts for their loved ones. By just searching on the Internet you can find great ideas you would not have thought of while walking through your over 'crowded' local mall.

For the next 12 days, except on Thanksgiving, we are going to talk about each of the different P90X workouts. Each day of the workout system has a specially put together workout that incorporates 'muscle confusion' so that you never hit a plateau. You might have heard of muscle confusion but if you haven't, its the driving force behind P90X and is the reason why you should get this routine. Some people say they can get a better workout at their local gym and that may be the case. But for some people its hard to go to a gym, you might be too busy with work or your family, you might be a little overweight and you are self conscious about going to the gym. The opposite can also be true, you might feel too weak and don't want the woman across from you, put you to shame because you can't bench press 75 pounds. There are many reasons why we don't go to the gym, whatever reason you have is just as legit as the next.

Motivation and time are the two causes that keep people from getting to the gym. So what if you didn't have to drive to the gym, or what if you could workout at home with a personal trainer in your own home and who will keep you motivated. Its then when you will see results.

Find out what the 12 P90X workout consist of, its a complete workout routine that will keep you coming back for more!

There is a big difference between the P90X PowerStands Push Up Bars and the regular P90X Push Up Stands. The PowerStands push up bars are a lot more sturdy, have a better grip and won't move on the ground. We put both types of bars to the test and found that the regular push up stands might slide on hard surfaces. The PowerStands push up bars have a sturdy base that actually grips any surface, whether you are on carpet or on a hard floor.

The handle of the PowerStands push up bars is also bigger which allows for a better grip. Many people have troubles doing push ups because they hurt their wrists. The great thing about both of these push up stands is that you lessen the pressure on your wrist and lose the pain caused by doing push ups. Doing push ups becomes easier and more enjoyable with these bars.

Push up stands are needed for doing the P90X workout to the fullest potential. If you really want to workout your arms you will want to get either push up stand, my preference is the PowerStands Push Up Bars.

If you are like me you probably won't be needing the push up stands anytime soon. The main reason for the push up stands is to get a great range of motion. It raises you up another 6.5 inches so that when you come down to the ground your arms are higher up than your body, causing you to really work your muscles. The P90X Push Up Stands are for those who are serious about getting toned and stronger than they could by doing regular push ups. It might take a few weeks to get used to or a few weeks just to be able to do a few push ups using these bars. They really work your muscles and if you already have a hard enough time doing push ups then you might want to put off getting the P90X Push Up Bars for a few weeks until you gain enough strength where you feel you need a little extra boost to your workout routine.

Eventually you will want to get these push up stands because they really do make a difference in your workout. After doing a regular push up and then using these bars, you will feel a huge difference in the range of motion. They are easily put together by screwing 4 small screws into the base. The rubber pads on the bottom will keep you from moving during your workout and the foam handle makes the grip more comfortable. If you are used to doing push ups and can feel pain in your wrist, these bars will help eliminate that as they help lighten the load on your wrist. So don't over look the push up stands because they are a great addition to any workout you might do.

Which heart rate monitor is best for you? There are two basic heart rate monitors which range from $59.95 to $74.95. The difference of these is one requires a chest strap while the other has sensors to check your heart rate. The Reebok heart rate monitor is the more advanced of the two. It requires no chest strap which can be uncomfortable at times. Its just like wearing a watch and gives accurate readings.

The other monitor is the Reebok RS-I Heart Rate Monitor with chest strap. The chest strap keeps track of your heart rate throughout your entire workout and wirelessly transmits the data to your wrist. You also wear a watch like devise that is easy to read and easy to keep on your heart rate target. An optimal workout requires the use of keeping track of your heart rate.

We give a lot of focus on the P90X workout because its the hardest workout we have. The P90X system is something that not everyone can do, but most people who try it end up finishing it. Its a workout that will keep you motivated. But what if you cannot complete the workout, or what if it is too extreme for you? The great aspect of our site is that we offer many other workout routines. Everything from the light and easy workout to the hard and extreme workouts. Even though I say light, it doesn't mean the workout is going to be easy. For instance the Slim in 6 workout routine is fairly light and is made for women, especially those who just gave birth. But I am not saying this workout will be easy, you will definitely feel the effects of it.

If you want something easier than P90X, then why not start off with Power 90 or Hip Hop Abs. These two workout will get you in shape and tone your muscles. The P90X is an extreme workout that works every single muscle in your body, while burning fat and helping you lose weight. Its the extreme of all workouts, but don't kick yourself if you cannot start with P90X. You can always work your way up from Power 90, Slim in 6 or even Turbo Jam. The choice is up to you but all of these workouts will help you lose weight and keep you motivated.

So what if you cannot get one of the P90X chin up bars, or what if you can't even do a chin up? There is a simple solution to your problem. The Chin Up bars are very sturdy and with a few screws can be placed above almost any doorway. There is a warning that if your doorway has weak frames, then they suggest you find a different door. The Chin Up Bar comes with 2 brackets and 8 screws (4 screws for each bracket). The bracket is placed right above the doorway on top of the trim or frame, but if the trim is very weak or you don't feel comfortable with placing the Chin Up bar on it, then you have to find another way of doing pull ups. The Chin Up Bar itself isn't fully supported by the trim or doorway frame, but it helps to have a strong doorway. The P90X workout routine requires the use of a chin up bar or something similar to get the full workout.

The great thing about P90X is that they show you many ways of doing each workout. So if you don't have a chin up bar or cannot place one in your home then you can always get the resistance bands. How do you do a chin up with resistance bands? Simple, you place an I-Hook in your ceiling, buy the Exercise Bands Upgrade Kit and any of the P90X exercise bands and you are set. You connect the upgrade kit to the I-Hook and connect the exercise band to the kit and you are set for doing pull ups with a resistance band. It might be confusing at first but once you watch the videos you will see how it is done. The great thing with the P90X workout is that they will show you how to do each workout, so that anyone can workout the P90X way.

Christmas is coming so what better gift than a gift that will help improve your loved one's health? Its a fact that most Americans gain weight around this holiday season. Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the biggest holidays for eating food. All of our family and friend gatherings are usually centered around food. We love food and the types of food that come around during this holiday season are probably not the best for you. In fact Egg Nog, which is only seasonal is full of fat, but we drink tons of it every year because its only around for a short time.

There won't be a better gift than a gift that says 'you could lose a few extra pounds' or 'I love you enough to say you need to watch your weight'. Its hard to find a great workout routine that has proven results. The P90X workout system is not only the hardest workout but a workout that will give you results. Going to a gym everyday will also get you results but most Americans can't afford the time, especially around the holiday season. Another gift which may be in the price range of gift is the Hip Hop Abs workout routine, retails for $59.95. Its a great workout and is also a popular choice. Whatever you do this holiday season, be sure to get a gift that will keep giving all year long, with better health and fitness.

Now that winter is right around the corner it might be a good idea to think about boosting your immune system before the flu and cold season hits us all. Just by taking vitamin C and other vitamins might help to fight off an oncoming cold. There are three things you can do to help soften the blow of a cold or flu:

  • Exercise- Regular and moderate exercise will stimulate the fighting T cells in your body into doing their job. The T cells are the attackers of the immune system and will fight off the foreign invaders like germs and viruses.


  • Vitamin C- Take 250 milligrams each day for 5-7 days. Vitamin C will not prevent the cold or flu, but it may soften the blow, decrease the symptoms and possibly shorten the duration of the cold. You can also get vitamin C through drinking orange juice or grapefruit juice.


  • Garlic- may help stimulate your immune system. Include one to three cloves of garlic each day in your diet by eating foods like: garlic bread, spaghetti sauce, lasagna, salad dressing with garlic, and by adding it to pasta salad, soups and stews. Do not use if you are on a blood thinning medication.

Think about getting the P90X Peak Multivitamin as it has antioxidants, all natural vitamins that will give you energy and help you build strength. By taking vitamins early and often your chances of fighting off a virus are better.
