"Don't eat junk food"It's really as simple as that. They call it junk food for a reason, it really is junk. You don't want this stuff going into your body! Cookies, cakes, candy and processed meats all have to go. If you're going to take the program seriously you need to eliminate this stuff from your daily diet all together.

"Don't starve yourself"Withholding food isn't going to help you! Eating next to nothing isn't going to work! Starving yourself is NOT effective! Ok, I think we drilled that point home. You're body needs fuel to operate and not eating is counter productive. As Tony so wisely says "Your body doesn't run on exercise. It runs on the food you put in your mouth.If you want the results that P90X can provide you need to have the energy to "Bring It" during your workouts.

"Don't compromise your form"You'll learn the right and wrong ways to perform each P90X exercise. Proper form is extremely important! Never compromise form just to finish a set or to pump out a few sloppy reps. When the muscles you are working give out, it's time to stop, don't try to engage other muscles just to finish. Check your form and workout in a way that is kind to your structure. This will keep you healthy while you get strong.
