Hello! My name is Brogan Brege and I am 19 years old. I am student at Lansing Community College. I am on my second year here. I have created this blog because I figured if I make a blog and if people follow it, I will need to keep up with it to show I'm not a quitter so this gives me some motivation to want to keep up with the program. I plan to start this program this coming Sunday (November 13, 2011). Though I have heard it's really intense and all, I believe in myself and I know how much I want results and in order to get those, I have to work for them. I'm not really in this program to lose weight because when I moved in August 2010, I was 154 lbs (my heaviest I've ever been) and I'm only 5'2'' and as soon as I moved, I knew I needed to do something about that. It's been over a year now and I am now 125 lbs and never been more happier with myself. I do eat a lot better than I used to thought I still have some moments where I like to splurge a little on the junk food (who doesn't!?). Even though I'm very much so happy with myself now and all the inches I lost, I still feel like I could use a little more toning up and from many of the positives I've heard about P90X, I believe I can achieve that. I know that P90X has a nutritional guide that people should follow in order to get the best results but I will not exactly be following their plan but I am going to post under this what I found about the P90X plan which I will take things off of there and put them to use. The food plan is probably going to be the hardest for me because I don't always plan ahead and sometimes just grab something to eat and it may not always be the best choice but I hope to become better at that throughout this. I am also going to post what the schedule is going to look like that I will be following. I plan to do the P90X Lean Circuit. I don't know who will follow me through this but whoever does, I hope that I am able to show off as a good role model for this and that I make it through this program with good results that makes others want to get up and PUSH PLAY! I think I am ready to BRING IT! Tomorrow I will do the fit test that is recommended that you do to see where you fall with all the categories: Resting Heart Rate, Pull-ups (will not be doing these due to not having a pull up bar but will be doing the alternative with resistant bands), Push-ups, Vertical Leap, Toe Touch, Wall Squat, Bicep Curls, In & Outs (ab test), and Heart Rate Maximizer. I will post all the results after. It is also told to take before pictures which I will post on here later, not ready for them to be posted yet (haha). I really hope to make this throughout the whole 90 days but I am starting at such an odd time (Thanksgivings coming around, Christmas will be nearing as well then New Years) but I figure even if I take a little longer, it's better than never and I'm sure I'll at least have SOME head ways with the program. Well that is all for today. Wish me luck! :)

Nutritional Guide
Phase I: Fat Shredder – Days 1-28
Phase II: Energy Booster – Days 29-56
Phase III: Endurance Maximizer – Days 57-90
Phase II: Energy Booster – Days 29-56
Phase III: Endurance Maximizer – Days 57-90
Body Fat Range Targets
For Men: Fit – 14-17% Athlete – 10-13% Elite Athlete – 4-9%
For Women: Fit – 21-24% Athlete – 16-20% Elite Athlete – 12-15%
Measure Body Fat at start of program and at the end of each phase to measure progress
Not positive how accurate this site is but: http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html has a body fat calculator if you want to find out where you may range.
Determining Your Nutrition Level
1. Calculate your RMR
Your Body Weight x 10 = RMR
2. Calculate your Daily Activity Burn
RMR x 20% = DAB
3. Calculate your Energy Amount
RMR + DAB = EA
1. Calculate your RMR
Your Body Weight x 10 = RMR
2. Calculate your Daily Activity Burn
RMR x 20% = DAB
3. Calculate your Energy Amount
RMR + DAB = EA
Nutrition Level Chart
EA = 1800-2399 = Level I 1800 calories per day
EA = 2400-2999 = Level II 2400 calories per day
EA = 3000+ = Level III 3000 calories per day
EA = 1800-2399 = Level I 1800 calories per day
EA = 2400-2999 = Level II 2400 calories per day
EA = 3000+ = Level III 3000 calories per day
Macronutrient Goals in Each Phase
Phase I – Protein 50%, Carbs 30%, Fat 20%
Phase II – Protein 40%, Carbs 40%, Fat 20%
Phase III – Protein 20%, Carbs 60%, Fat 20%
Phase I – Protein 50%, Carbs 30%, Fat 20%
Phase II – Protein 40%, Carbs 40%, Fat 20%
Phase III – Protein 20%, Carbs 60%, Fat 20%
Customizing the Phases
Phase I – Can be extended if you feel you need to drop more body fat, but still have enough energy to do workouts. Can be shortened if your body fat is already low or you aren’t getting enough energy for workouts.
Phase II – Can be extended if you feel you are doing well in this phase and want to keep going.
Phase III – Optional phase for those who really want to push to the limit. It is recommended, however, that everyone try this phase at some point.
