P90X4-The NEW Infomercial: Wanna be in it?
Rich
Ned Farr here, folks, and I’m doing my 4th round of P90X…infomercials, that is. And that means I’m looking for P90X success stories to inspire people the way previous shows might have inspired you. Step inside.
Here are the basics: You did one round of P90X. You crushed the program and have photos to prove it. I want to know who you are. So show me. Post you’re results on this thread. And you can always contact me a nfarr@beachbody.com.
The next phase is you dust off your camcorder (or borrow one) and REALLY tell me. Interview yourself, or have a spouse or trusted friend interview you. Don’t stress about production value—if I can hear you clearly and you’re not a silhouette in front of a bright window then it’s pretty much fine with me. I don’t try to control the process. You’re in control. You did P90X, so you should be strong enough to sit in front of a camera to tell your story. Remember, you might change someone’s life with it. And people need the help.
Third phase is to shoot a little video of yourself doing the workouts. Let’s see some dang pull-ups and Dreya rolls. Show some variety. Don’t shoot whole routines, though, this is just to spice up your interview. Let’s also see where you’ve been Bringing It. Let’s see your copy of P90X, the TV or computer you follow along with. And if your child or dog wanders into the shot, let’s see them too. In fact, send me photos or shoot anything you think illustrates who you were before P90X and who you are now.
Deadline is in 3 months
BTW, though I happen to believe P90X is a lifetime program, we tend to focus more on 90 day results. Usually couch potatoes can’t visualize themselves any further into the future, not to mention P90X looks a bit intimidating (uh, ’cause it is), so 90 days is about as much challenge as we tend to show.
I do make exceptions to this rule.
The last phase is to send it to me at the address below.
Beachbody
3301 Exposition Blvd., 3rd Floor
Santa Monica, CA 90404
Attention: P90X4 SubmissionsHave fun with it and don’t smash your face.

Tony and the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters
Rich
Professional M.M.A. fighters Jared Weiner and Wilson Reis swear by P90X. They got a special treat and a grueling workout when Tony Horton stopped by their Philadelphia gym. Watch as they square off on the mat!

Why support bootlegging and someone else's economy
Rich
P90X is undeniably one of, if not the best workout and fitness programs ever created. It not only has the great workout DVD’s but also an excellent workout guide and nutrition guide and diet plan. It is a whole package and the real deal and the results from using it are undeniable.
So why do so many people buy bootleg copies of P90X done in China and elsewhere, just get the P90X DVD’s, and then expect to be able to either do P90X without them or to be able to find the exercise guide and nutrition guide elsewhere. To support these people, now people are bootlegging the guides.
Wouldn’t you be upset if the company that you worked for made a great product and someone was making inferior knock offs that were hurting your product image. Most people who buy P90X for $40.00 off, or more, think that they are getting the real thing (how is that possible) and then are upset when there is a blank disc or duplicate disc or disc that doesn’t play. Then they complain to me. They also want me to give them the order of workouts and to tell them how to eat. Does that sound fair to you?
P90X is worth every penny and is an investment that will last you a lifetime. Human bodies aren’t going to change or muscles change or how our bodies respond to exercise. You can do P90X over and over and over and many, many people do. But the people who are getting the results bought the real deal and followed the nutrition plan and used the recipes and they paid an honest dollar for an honest product.

The Fabulous Foot
Rich
David Akers, the poster boy for what P90X can do on the stage of professional athletics, is blowing us away with NFL stats that continue to prove that talent plus extreme training are a potent combination:> In 2007 BX (”Before P90X”), Akers went 1 for 6 from between 40 and 50 yards.
> In 2008 AX, (”After P90X”) he has gone 8 for 10.
> “Field Goals Made” – he went from #16 in 2007 to #3 this season.
> Scoring – he went from #21 in the NFL to #2.
And he’s not some 98 pound weakling kicker either. Anyone who saw him save a touchdown in the first quarter by hammering Bradshaw out of bounds.
To quote Jon Congdon, “Hmmm. Seems like the product worked for him.”

P90X NFL-Poster Boy Is Still At It!
Rich
This article appeared on Philly.com today regarding David Akers… He kicked a 51-yarder last Sunday. We’re still hoping he gets a crack at breaking the NFL record to kick a 64-yard field goal this year and we’ve promised to donate a million bucks to the Kicks for Kids Foundation.
=================================================================
Through it all, Eagles’ Akers still kicking
By Ray Parrillo, Inquirer Staff Writer
David Akers spent his 34th birthday Tuesday visiting Children’s Hospital as part of his Kicks for Kids Foundation, enjoying some rare free time with his family, and feeling pretty certain he wouldn’t have to answer questions from the media suggesting his future as the Eagles’ kicker was in jeopardy.“I’ve tried this year not to pay attention to what’s in the media,” Akers said the other day. “So the only way I knew people were saying things was by the questions I was being asked.”
In consecutive weeks this season, Akers missed field goals from 50-plus yards against Chicago, Washington and San Francisco, and also one against the Bears from 40-plus yards. The Eagles lost the Sept. 28 game in Chicago, 24-20. Last season, Akers was 1 for 4 from 50-plus yards and 1 for 6 from 40 to 49 yards.
Akers, the franchise’s all-time-leading scorer, is in his 10th season with the Eagles. In his first eight, he’d made 59 percent from 50-plus yards and 72 percent between 40 and 49 yards.
On the misses earlier this season, leg strength wasn’t the issue. But as Akers said, you are what the numbers say you are, and the numbers were saying his job wasn’t as secure as it once was.
In Sunday’s critical 20-14 win over the Giants, Akers offered a mixed bag. He kicked two field goals, one from 51 yards that gave the Eagles a 3-0 lead, another from 34 yards that raised their lead to 20-7 in the fourth quarter. Another try was blocked by Justin Tuck and returned 71 yards by Kevin Dockery for a touchdown at the end of the first half. Tuck beat reserve tackle Winston Justice on the play. Another was tipped. In nine seasons, Akers had one blocked field goal. This season, he’s had three, two returned for TDs.
The bigger point is that Akers has reclaimed his status as a reliable kicker. The first block against the Giants ended a streak of 15 consecutive field goals, two shy of his team record. He is 6 for 7 from 40 to 49 yards, and he still has the leg strength to split the uprights from more than 50 yards.
In one season, Akers has gone from 2 for 10 from 40-plus yards to 7 for 11, a dramatic improvement.
Akers attributes his resurgence to an infomercial. Honest. The night before the Eagles played at Dallas last December, Akers saw an infomercial about a workout program called P90X, guaranteed to transform your body in 90 days through a rigorous training system that requires one hour a day.
Akers, a left-footed kicker, thought the program might solve a physical problem he was having with his right hip – the result, he believes, of a torn hamstring he suffered in 2005. It had become painful to plant his right leg before kicking.
“My hip was hurting,” he said. “I wanted to lose weight and balance my body.”
Akers spoke to Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder about the program, and Burkholder said that running back Ryan Moats had tried it. Akers went ahead with it during the off-season, shed 20 pounds – he’s down to 180 – and reduced his body fat by 30 percent.
“After I tore my hamstring I never really regained the true flexibility in my right leg, and a lot of the power comes from your plant leg,” he said. “I regained the flexibility, and I’d never before realized I needed to lose weight. I’d been 200 pounds. Now, I haven’t been this light since my freshman year at Louisville. “Believe it or not, I saw it on an infomercial.”
Akers looks back on the early-season misses and said the one he’d really like to have back is the one against Washington. “I look at the first two kicks in Chicago, and I aimed exactly where I wanted it to go,” he said. “I misjudged how powerful the wind was when I kicked them. The next week against the Redskins, I felt like I pulled it just a little bit. I felt like I swung too hard on the ball. There aren’t many days when I’ve hit 50 percent and felt I’d hit the ball really well. Then we had the block against the Niners, and we had the two blocks” against the Giants.
“I’m basically sure those two on Sunday would have gone through,” he continued. “That makes up the six [missed] kicks and you say, ‘Wow, that’s six misses. But . . .’ “
Akers went on to crunch the numbers. He figured the blocked kicks from 32 and 34 yards would have been good. If so, his percentage would be 87.5, above the league average of 84.8. Instead, it’s 81.3.
“That being said, you are what your numbers say you are, and those numbers can be skewed for the good or the bad,” he said. The numbers also say Akers can claim to be a better kicker than he was last year (75 percent) and two years ago (78.3), and that the things people are saying about him aren’t so bad these days.
“I know one day my time will be up, and I don’t want it to be right now,” he said. “I want to play here as long as the Eagles organization will have me.”

How She Lost 70 Pounds of Baby Weight
Rich
Here’s the story of Without a Trace’s Poppy Montgomery, as seen in People Magazine. I love it when stars, who can have anything given to them with a phone call, see P90X on TV and buy it for themselves. There’s proof it’s the real deal, and that there are no freebies! Everybody has to work for it!”Poppy Montgomery was always open about the 70-pound weight gain that occurred during her pregnancy last year with son Jackson Phillip Deveraux, now 10 ½ months old. “I ate with no guilt!” the Without a Trace star tells PEOPLE. “I loved every second of gaining that weight. All that food made me so happy!”
Though giving in to cravings for avocados or Häagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche ice cream was fun, Poppy, 36, knew that she’d have to return to camera-ready form eventually. So three weeks after giving birth to Jackson, the actress signed up for meal-delivery service Sunfare, which restricted her diet to 1,200 calories per day. She exercised at home six days per week using the P90X total-body workout DVD program, and by this past September, she was back in her size 27 jeans. “All the hard work paid off,” she shares. “It was hard, but worth it.”Jackson, whom Poppy describes as the “happiest baby ever” is the first child for the actress and her boyfriend, actor Adam Kaufman. Poppy’s show, Without a Trace, airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. on CBS.”
