Re: Which is a better workout?

thanks for the feedback.

Doesn't p90x kinda get you bulky? and is geared towards more ripping than toning?

Thanks!

Re: Which is a better workout?

My vote is for the second routine, although I also like to do pilates at least twice a week too. But when I worked with a trainer she insisted on four days a week of cardio and two to three days of weights a week. According to her, the cardio is what takes the fat off, the weights tone everything up.
