P90X Results 60 Days With Photos

60 days of P90X, 30 more to go. I’m in the home stretch now and really giving it my all knowing that at the beginning of May will show the results of P90X. I’ve already decided that when I end this workout journey, I’ll probably do another round of this extreme workout. It will be warmer out by then and so I’ll be getting some extra cardio when I commute to work on my bike. It’s about a 13 mile ride each way, so it’s a nice little workout. I’ll also sub in something for Kenpo X,  that workout doesn’t quite do it for me.  For these first 90 days I’m following the program exactly as to not effect the results either way.

During the last 30 days since my P90X Results 30 Day post, I hit a weight loss plateau. It was so frustrating to work hard everyday, closely monitor my nutritional intake, and see no change on the scale. There wasn’t a noticeable change around my waist like I saw from Day 1 to Day 30. I was reading the book, “Burn the Fat - Feed the Muscle” and the author had several suggestion on how to break out of a plateau and the only one that didn’t change the P90X workout routines is to temporarily increase the caloric intake. I gave it a try and lost a pound and a half two weeks after that adjustment in my diet.

After the 30 day mark, the routines get a little more varied and as I was getting closer to the 60 day mark I was improving on all the workouts.  I’ve almost maxed out the weight plates I have now for the Shoulders and Arms workout.  I’ve really noticed my biceps and triceps getting bigger and better defined.

One habit that I’ve managed to be consistent with is tracking my caloric intake to analyze my diet.  It’s tedious, but just like recording the repetitions you perform during P90X, tracking your diet reveals areas that are on target or need improvement.  I’m using the desktop version of Fitday.com - it has a lot of great features.

I took my photos the other day and like they say, the camera doesn’t lie.  I really can’t see much of difference between Day 30 and Day 60. When I look at myself in the mirror, I look better than I do when I see my own photos on the computer screen.  Oh well, I’ll push play every day and how I look at 90 days.

Since day 1 I’ve lost 7 pounds and about 2% body fat.  Without further delay, here are the photos.

Day 1
Weight: 185
Fat Percentage: 25.7%

Day 30
Weight: 180
Fat Percentage: 24.5%

Day 60
Weight: 178
Fat Percentage: 23.9%

    Looking good, man! I had the same problem with plateauing during phase 2. I added calories during phase 3 and my weight dropped and my BF decreased.

    Nice job Mark - You can see the difference especially in the side shot.

    Do you clothes seem to be fitting better yet?

    Don’t worry man…there are some differences that are noticible. For me, when I did P90X the first time, the biggest photo differences came from the 60 to the 90 Day photos. you spend the first 30 burning fat. The second 30 building muscle and continuing the fat burn. So the last 30 days you are an efficient machine. You will see some good resutls as long as you continue to eat clean and bring it!

    Thanks for the ad on Twitter. Good to know you and thanks for the updates. Look forward to seeing your pics in May.

    Good progress. Like most have said I really didn’t see the results I wanted until after day 60. Even so I’m on my second round now and have seen even better results. Keep up the good work. From my experience its all about what you eat more so then the workouts.

    Cool, did you try to lower your intake on manufactured foods, they contain chemcials that makes your mind think its hungry.

    Where are the 90 day pictures? I was following your blog, but it looks like you stopped posting. I’m currently on day 35 and am loving P90X.

    Aaron, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I’ve updated the blog with my final P90X results.

    Thanks for the honest info. I’ve watched the commercials much more closely and noticed that I would be happy with most of the people’s day 1 picture. The exception being the guy who was a professional athlete who let himself go. I am really wondering if a normal person like yourself would end up all 6packed.

    I’ve been using the system for over 2 months and it has worked wonders. I say buy it for sure!

    You image changes between days 30 and 60 reveal some important aspects. For one, there is some fat loss around your goiter/chin area. More important is a noticeable change in your posture which assuredly is indicative of increases core-strength.
