For those of you who have been following my P90X3 journey, I’m excited to share with you results from my first 30 days. For those who have just stumbled on my P90X3 30 Day Results page, welcome to Sweet Life Fitness! I love making fitness fun and sharing my journey, struggles, and shenanigans with you.
P90X3 30 Day Results – Eating More and Working out Less!
When I first filled out my statistics on the P90X3 Nutrition Guide, I was surprised. Unlike P90X, the X3 nutrition guide had me at 2700 calories per day!
Now that I have been eating the 2700 calories per day (and 30% protein / 40% carbs / 30% fat), I see why the nutrition guide is set-up like this. I felt more energy to push through my workouts, and felt my muscles were growing.
So here they are! My P90X3 30 Day Results. Be sure to see below the picture for my tips on why you should NOT quit after 30 days (in case you are bummed out with your results so far):
Stats:
- Weight – Day 1: 201 / Day 30: 209
- Waist – Day 1: 39 / Day 30: 35.5
- Chest – Day 1: 39 / Day 30: 37.5
- Biceps – Day 1: 14 inches / Day 30: 16 inches
How the first P90X3 30 Day Results happened:
- Never skipped a single workout
- Did the Dynamix workout each week
- Pushed myself as hard as I could, and tried to do even better each day.
- Committed to clean eating and nutrition.
- Had Fun and made it fun!
P90X3 30 Day Results have you Bummed? Don’t Quit just Yet
A lot of team members on Sweet Life Fitness who start a program like X3 or P90X/etc get mad after 30 days. Where the heck are those good results? How about at least a hint of good results?? Anything?
Good news: Your P90X3 30 day results won’t always be the best. Don’t let it get you down! Check out my video for more information on what to expect on Day 30, 60, and 90:
To recap:
- First 30 Days: Your body is getting used to your new lifestyle. Your body removes fat in sheets, not just haphazardly in certain areas. This is tricky because if you hold more fat on your belly, you won’t notice any differences yet (because there are more “sheets” on your belly than say, your arms). Stay consistent and your fat will come down all over. Your belly is usually the last to dissipate, even though it’s the one area people want to see results in first. If you notice your arms toning, this could be a great sign that your body is doing the right things.
- 30–60 Days: Now your body is getting used to the conditioning and shock of working out at a new accelerated pace. As long as you are consistent with nutrition and X3 daily, you will start seeing bigger gains from day 30-60.
- 60–90 Days: Ever notice when people show their P90X results you see huge differences between days 60 and 90? That is because they were consistent through Day 1-30 (adapting to the new workout), Days 30-60 (conditioning their body), and Days 60-90 (maximizing their body). Your body spent the last 60 days bringing down fat and replacing it with muscle.
This is a marathon, not a sprint (P90X3, not P30X3!).
How can you ensure that you get awesome results, even if you are NOT happy with your 30 day results?
- BRING IT. This means go in with as much intensity. Push past your mental barrier each day, even if you don’t want to. You can whine, cry, and complain as much as you want. Just don’t give up. Also, don’t skip workouts. Ever.
- EAT CLEAN. Follow the X3 nutrition guide and hit your macros (30% protein / 40% carbs / 30% fat) each day consistently. See how you can track it in myfitnesspal here (and add me: CoolRunLT to see what I eat).
- GET SLEEP. 7-8 hours is a must if you want the good results. You will notice bigger muscle improvements, and faster fat loss when you sleep efficiently.
We are only 30 days into P90X3. Get excited, get pumped, and Push Play. If you aren’t happy with the first 30 days, make the commitment now to make the next 30 days consistent, intense, and rewarding.
Bring It,
Coach Bob
