Comment on Maximum Heart Rate Calculations Get an Overhaul for Women by Secondcup

Joe,Thanks for the comment, and tahkns for the complement there have been some difficult parts of the workout, but I’m determined to get through this all the way. I have never FINISHED a workout like this. I have done parts of the p90x and chalean extreme, but never finished them. So to answer your questions about P90X it is hard for me to know first hand, but I can tell you P90X is more of a muscle building program. It uses weights and pull up bars and will get you ripped. Insanity on the other hand is a very cardio heavy workout. Your lungs and heart are going to get in better shape, plus I think you may lose weight quicker with Insanity. I think that the perfect combination is use Insanity first to get your lungs and body into amazing shape and drop some weight, then follow the insanity workout up with the P90X. This will then either grow or tone (depending on the size of weights you use) your muscles and get you a screamin good body. (This is my plan ) ( oh and I’m going to blog about the P90X just like I did for Insanity So stay tuned for that.)I’ll write about the nutrition plan in an upcoming blog.

No worries, never stopped eating fruit Mike. Was just cutting out added sweeteners for a little while.

As long as your using Stevia you should be fine. Stevia is harmless. You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself you need to eat some fruit. The sugar in fruit is good for you. Fructose helps regulate blood sugar. It’s the high fructose corn syrup we have to avoid.

Mineral water is great for the health because it can provide trace minerals for the body.

Hello! New to this website and I love the different topics discussed! I’ve been drinking green smoothies for a while, and I agree with you on the different type of lettuces and celery. I have a couple of recommendations to experiment with: My go to quick and easy smoothie is 2 handfuls of kale, 1 banana, 1 red pear, a sprinkle of chia seeds, and water (usually about 2.5 cups). This makes a smooth and sweet 50 oz smoothie (everything I do is in estimation. I’ve worked with many greens, and I find that ones with stronger flavors (i think the strongest flavor conflict I had was with a gigantic batch of fresh italian parsley..good but oh my strong!) go best with citrus fruits (orange, lemon, and even a zesty piece of ginger) along with your base fruit of bananas or whatever else and water. I usually find that using water only also keeps the flavor crisper (I had a terrible recipe with almond milk and now I have a slight aversion to using it). I’ve also heard of people making savory smoothies (soups on the go!), but I’ve yet to go that route.
