Atlanta Braves' Matt Diaz has done P90X

Read on about Matt Diaz and his offseason weight loss.

Matt Diaz lost 30 pounds this offseason.

Q. How did you lose 30 pounds this offseason?

A. I hate to admit it, but I did an infomercial. … My wife ordered P90X. I saw her doing her leg workout, and it was similar to stuff I did in rehab. I thought that’d be a good way to ease my way back into weightlifting. After a week you realize there’s no easing into that workout.

Q. You watch videos as you work out?

A. They send you 12 videos with 12 different workouts and a diet plan. If you want it, it gives you recipes for every meal, six meals a day …. We moved our kids upstairs out of the nursery and changed the nursery into a P90X room. We got a pull-up bar and dumbbells. … I’d do a P90X workout with my wife in the morning, a baseball workout in the afternoon and go jogging with my wife in the evening while dinner was crock-potting.

I’m sure, as word gets out I will be sharing more stories about celebrities who live the Beachbody lifestyle and are getting incredible results with fitness programs like P90X.

This is part of an article from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

John "Spider" Salley is doing P90X

4-time NBA champion John "Spider" Salley is joining the ranks of many athletes and celebrities that are doing P90X. It is nice to see one of the pistons' "Bad Boys" bringing it with P90X. Salley said if he had to do it over he would shoot a thousands shots a day like Kobe, work on his cardio and do P90X. Now this man has 4 world championship rings 2 with the Deeeetoit Pistons, 1 with the Lakers and 1 with the Bulls where he played with the greatest ever, Michael Jordan. For Salley to say he would have incorporated P90X into his basketball work outs is a very bold statement.
By the way John got his nick name "Spider" by being afraid of the little buggers. Come on John, your 6 ft 11 in. Funny. Your still the man.


Salley is right about 1 thing though, P90X would have been great for him. If he would have been doing P90X Legs and Back and P90X Plyometrics the results of these 2 dunk attempts against the Bulls would have been much different.

90 Days of P90X are done. Now What do I do?

Well now that my first 90 days of P90X workouts are complete I need to figure out what I want to do now. I have read where one guy did one week of P90X and one week of weight lifting and then alternated like that every week. So far for the past 8 days I have done a lot of weight lifting, chest, shoulders and tri's, core synergistics, back and biceps, plyometrics and the ab ripper. I need to gain back the weight I lost but in a place other than my belly. I thought about getting the P90X Plus work outs or One on One with Tony Horton but I am still not sure yet.


P90X is a great work out program and it is a great head start on fitness for the rest of your life. We will probably always follow the nutrition plan at least 90%. It is a great plan. I was never hungry or felt deprived in any way. Also being part of the Beachbody community is a great thing. It is a place you can go to find work out buddies and lots of fitness-minded individuals just as yourself. You can also get personalized meal plans, trainer tips, chat room,recipes, nutrition tips, slim kitchen videos and so much more.

Day 90 P90X Results and Pictures

These are my day 90 results pictures of 90 days with P90X and following the nutrition plan about 90% for the full 90 days. What a great work out. I would recommend P90X to all.

Left Arm 14in
Right Thigh 21in

Body fat% 12.7%

I lost 6.2% body fat while doing P90X, all from my mid section. Everything else stayed the same. I am using these calipers that measure body fat and I am not sure how accurate this measurement is. I might be a little lower but I'm not positive. Lost 4 lbs but hope to gain it back as soon as I start hitting the weights again.(Not in my mid section tough) I drank Shakeology during the full 90 days. What a great drink. Love the greenberry. Also ate a lot of P90X Protein Bars and had a protein shake when I needed it. You can also check out my day 30 P90X results pictures or my day 60 P90X results pictures. I also saved 25% off of all my Beachbody purchases since I became a coach. It really is a lot of fun helping people get started with Team Beachbody. Want to become a Beachbody coach?

Yes, Greenberry and Chocolate Shakeology are awesome meal replacement shakes. If you are looking to give yourself the nutritional advantage I highly recommend you buy Shakeology.

Day 90: P90X Yoga X

Day 90. P90X yoga X. Ahhhhh. Day 90. Done! We did it. I will be posting my 90 day results pictures within the next day or 2. P90X is a great work out program. P90X changes everything. Changes the way you look at the food you eat. Changes the way you work out. Changes your attitude. Changes your body. Everything. I think everyone should put themselves through 90 days of P90X at least once a year. Stick to your regular work outs and then commit to 90 days of P90X when you have the time.

What are you waiting for? Start you own P90X journey today. Your body will thank you for it.

Day 89: P90X Core Synergistics.

Day 89. P90X Core Synergistics. What can I say that I haven't already said about core synergistics. This work out really makes you sweat. A little bit of everything. Some chest, tri's, abs, shoulders, legs, core work and really gets the heart pumping. Well tomorrow is the last day of this initial 90 days with P90X. We finish up with Yoga X. Stretch X or rest on Sunday but I'm pretty sure we are going to rest. Might go for a run but that's about it. By this time in your work out you should really be feeling pretty good. I know I do.

Day 88: P90X Stretch X

Day 88. P90X Stretch X. Count down to the beginning of the end. Only 2 days left of P90X. Well, we were supposed to do Stretch X today but we had to modify a bit since we needed a little something extra. Christina did the whole body Hip Hop Abs work out and I did some weight training and then we went a did a couple mile run. What rest? We don't need no stinkin rest. I'm not sure if that is good advice since your body does need to rest and recover but I think everyone is different and your body will let you know. Listen to your body, it will talk to you. The last thing you want is an injury. That would be a real party spoiler. Fitness party that is. I honestly think that anyone who commits to the 90 days of P90X and sticks with the plan for the full 90 days will change their life. You will have created new sleeping, eating and work out habits. All for the best. They say it takes 2 weeks to break a habit so doing P90X for 90 day will definitely create some new habits. You will find yourself not eating fast food as much. You will be reading a lot more food labels. You will be pre-planing your meals when you know you will not be home to eat. You will find yourself packing your supplements along with your clothes when you go on vacation. If we could just teach the rest of this country how to live this lifestyle and curb the obesity trend in the U.S.

Day 87: P90X Kenpo X

Day 87. P90X Kenpo X. Well we were in the mood for something a bit tougher than Kenpo X today so we did P90X plyometrics instead. I know this is the last week and it's supposed to be a recovery week but we just needed something more than Kenpo today. Might ever go for a run later in the day as well. I think this is the first time we did something different from the fitness guide except for when we were in Biloxi. We said we would stick to the fitness plan and we did except for today. We burned more calories with plyometrics than we would have with kenpo anyway.

We even threw the football around today too to get Nik some practice at quarterback and some catching practice.






Nik is really going to have to "Bring It" since he is about the youngest and the smallest on the team. We all know he can do it so no problem. He's been playing baseball for 7 years and he as the arm for quarterback if the coaches decide to put him there.


Nik's weigh in for football.

Your never too old to workout.

Have you ever heard anyone use the excuse "I'm too old to work out"? Well I say hogwash. Haaa. What does that mean anyway? "hogwash" AKA bull S@!t. Beachbody has a program for everyone young or old. Fit or just starting out. Don't let a little thing like a number get in your way to a more healthy lifestyle. Of course check with your doctor before starting any new regimen and then get going.

Day 86: P90X Core Synergistics

Day 86. P90X Core Synergistics. This is another one of those work outs that I will have to work in to my routine. You really sweat while doing Core Synergistics. You use a little bit of everything during this work out. Can you say prison push ups. Those really get you going. I found the sweat dripping down my face after those. What about plank to chaturanga run? Now those are tough. Reach high and under push ups are fun too. Keep "Bringing It".

Day 85. P90X Yoga X.

Day 85. P90X Yoga X. Well we are down to the home stretch. 5 more work outs left. When I look back now to hard Yoga X was the first time I did it and now how manageable it is I will definitely have to add this to my routine. It works and stretches so many muscles. I really don't like it, but it works. What ever you do don't skip the yoga during your 90 days with P90X. You need it. You might not like it either but you have to do it.I know it's long but stick to the plan.

Day 84. P90X Stretch X or Rest.

Day 84. P90X Stretch X or Rest. We definitely rested today and we need it. We burned a ton of calories tearing up the dance floor last night at a wedding. Another late night. I could have been doing P90X plyometrics when "Jump Around" came on. Funny. Should've taken some video so we can laugh now. All well. Next time.


Couple of pics from the wedding.

Day 83: P90X Kenpo X

Day 83. P90X Kenpo X. Well I finally figured out how to make Kenpo X more difficult. Stay out til 6am drinking beer and then wake up and do Kenpo X. I was dragging today but it is my own fault. Man! If we could find a way to get beer on the nutrition plan it would really be perfect.(kidding) You really have to choose. A 6 pack you can see or a 6 pack you can taste. That's a toughy. Well hopefully I sweat enough today to get it all out of my system only to go to a wedding tonight. Hmmmm. Wonder what I'll be drinking there. Like I said in earlier posts. I follow the nutrition plan about 90% of the time and when I don't it's usually beer so I don't feel guilty. Keep "Bringing It"
