P90X

I have taken 9 months off of swimming b/c of some nerve issues in my back, and have recently gotten back into working out and have done it with P90X Some Qualifications: 1) I'm 34 2) I've always been in pretty good shape, with good muscle tone 3) I get up at 5 AM to do the workouts 4) I don't do diets. I don't give a squat if that's the key ingredient. I will eat sensibly and with a balanced diet, but life's too short to not eat desert or cut out certain foods altogether. I love P90X. The workouts are varied, but at the same time incorporate alot of the same movements and routines so it is easy to learn. I have not lost much weight, maybe 5 pounds, but that's b/c I've turned a ton of fat into muscle (I'm 5-11, 185 right now). I'm sire if I did the diet I'd look like the guys in the video with my shirt off. As it is I have great arms, back and legs, plus a "4-pack", but I've never been able to get a full 6. I have a little pudge on my waistline, but it is worth it to eat what I liek to eat. I plan to, as always, modify my diet a month before taper time. I to am curious as to how well I will swim. My plan is to go back to workouts next week, swimming 2-3 days a week, p90X-ing 2-3 others, so I won't follow the recc'd workout, obviously, but will do arms/chest, ply or Kenpo, legs, and arms/back in a rotation. My plan is to concentrate on sprints this year and see what happens, I have a few barriers I want to cross this year (lack of tech suits be damned) and I think working on strength, flexibility and explosion both with these workouts and with a concentration on sprint work in the water will help get me there. "muscle confusion" is a term for the sake of a pitch line, but the workouts do work very well. I don't even lift weights, just bands, pull ups and push ups. And I will say this. Every few weeks I take a week off and just do the stretch, yoga, core and/or kenpo videos.That's a great week.
