The Background

Before, I start the Battle between Fibro. & P90X, I want to lay a little background work.

What is P90X?

Answer, it is an intense video workout, by Tony Horton. I was at home watching TV late one night when this P90X came on. I was very interested right away, because of the muscle confusion in the workouts. My hope is that my muscles will be confused throughout this whole process. I know that it is a stretch, but again it my hope. Here is a breakdown of all the different workouts with P90X:
Day 1 Chest & Back + AB Ripper X
Day 2 Plyometrics
Day 3 Shoulders & Arms + AB Ripper X
Day 4 Yoga X
Day 5 Legs & Back + AB Ripper X
Day 6 Kenpo X
Day 7 X Stretch
Day 8 Core Synergistics
Day 9 Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + AB Ripper X
Day 10 Back & Biceps
Day 11 Cardio X
Day 12 AB Ripper X

I took the physical exam before and I thought I did okay, but in my mind nothing can prepare you for a workout like this. I have found that stretching often help with the soreness and muscle pain. This workout is designed to keep your muscles guessing, which is a good thing!

Here are the tools need for this workout program:
Weights (you can use stretch bands instead, is what I will use, they are easier on the muscles).
Stretch Bands
Push up bars (can get at academy for $10)
Pull up bar (we are using an Iron Gym) (I am using Stretch Bands for the pull ups)
And a Workout Mat (Price ranges from $10-30 at wal-mart & academy)(Personal Favorite $19 mat from wal-mart)

Here is my plan for the supplement part of this workout:

It is highly recommended that when you workout to supplement different products in your body before and after your workout. I plan on doing that, but not with P90X products, they are to expensive.
My plan is a little different but I am still going to share it.
First, Before my workout starts I take a shot of Vemma, my choice of Supplement before each workout, because it will control the muscle pain throughout the work out. Plus, the Vemma will kill all the Inflammation from the workout. I will also rub the area that I am working on with the Two Old Goats to relax my muscles before each workout. I will Hydrate with plenty of water during the workout and finish the workout with a Verve Energy Drink, to replenish my body with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals along with Healthy Energy. Hold on I'm still not done, it is a long process, but worth every penny. I will rub down the area worked with Two Old Goats to help relax those same muscles again and finish off the workout with a very good stretch.

This is not full proof, but I do have a plan, I'm sure I will have to modify it from day to day, because I work 3 12 hours days with Wal-Mart as an Assistant Manager. Once I get in a routine and my body adjusts to it, I think I will be fine.

Now it time to get started!
