Welcome Alyssa, I did insanity a couple of years ago and too noticed (at the time) some definition loss but you should get it all back here on x3. While I really enjoy Shaun T I have always thought the p90 series has always been more balanced in terms of cardio and weight training. and with it being 30 min a day now and the results people are seeing its a no brainer. remember to post your results as you make your way through the program to keep others motivated. again welcome to the group.0

Hi my name is Tim. I have done P90x, Insanity, Les Mils Combat, Body Beast and now P90X3. I am nearing the end of the second block. Full disclosure... I am an ex-coach. It was not what I thought it was going to be. I am not a salesman and I do not believe that Shakeology is a miracle shake so lets say it didn't work out. I do however enjoy helping people reach there goals and by me helping them they are motivating me to reach mine. I am glad to see this group exists and find it hard to believe that more don't.
Thanks!

Hello Everyone!
My name is Melissa and I started X3 yesterday! Last year I did a full round of P90X with some pretty good results. I lost 20 pounds and a TON of inches. I dont think I lost as much as I could have if I had gotten my eating under control. I didnt eat terrible and I was MOSTLY healthy but I think if I had been more dedicated to my healthy eating I would have had a more significant result. That being said, the original was just too time consuming for someone who works full-time (in athletics at a university which means very long hours most days of the week and some weekend hours!) as well as a part time Ph.D student. So I was really excited about X3.
I look forward getting to know you all better and have a great support system for all of us!

Hi all, I'm Shane. I'm 41, and I teach English in China. I've never done a BeachBody programme before (although I'd heard of P90X before, years back). Like others, I've joined gyms before, bought home equipment before...given up on both after a while. Just had no motivation.
I started P90X3 last week (did The Warrior today), and I'm totally loving it! It's killing me to keep up with the videos sometimes, but the pause button is my friend (the stop button is my enemy!). I agree with others on here; CVX is a killer. It was so hard getting out of bed this morning!
I'm glad to be a part of this group; it's nice to see a 'normal' group, not one full of coaches trying to sell Shakeology!0 -
Welcome Shane and ALL the others that came aboard the X3 train this week! Let's give it our all & post it so it may help others!0

Good Morning All, I am Shawn from North Mississippi (10 miles south of Memphis , TN). I am 36, out of shape, over weight, and have the lung capacity of a tree. My profile list my goals, which is basically for my children, but deep down they are for me just as much as for them. I ordered P90x3 while sitting on the couch watching basketball (Go Tigers), and eating a Wendy's Double cheeseburger, fries and coke. I am now at Block 1, Week 3, Day 3 (completed Yoga) this morning. I absolutely love, enjoy, and see a big difference over the last 3 weeks (other than Yoga, on Yoga Days I feel more like a clown at a funeral service). I know the results could be even better with a change in eating habits, and every once in a while a word of encouragement, so that how I got to myfitnesspal and decided to join a little support group like this one. Wide open for advice, critic, and pointers. Thanks for listening.0

Welcome skinnywitt. Glad to have you. You will definately get some encourgement here as well as any tims and tricks we have learned along the way. dont worry your yoga will get better. If I can even halfway do it then there is hope for anyone lol. without a doubt fix the nutrition as it is over 80% of your fitness goal. You dont want to look back on day 90 saing "Man I wish I had just ..." anyways welcome to the group and make sure to post about your success.0

Oh yea and Skinnywhitt I do feel you on the nutrition thing I am a Huntsville AL native very hard to keep on track with all that good southern food arround lol0

Rachel, 26, from GA. I've owned P90X for about 3ish years now, and I have finished phase 1 about 6 times, never could seem to get beyond that.
Husband bought X3 for me for my birthday. Started just before the new year. I did complete phase1 without a missed day. But, I have missed a couple of days the past few weeks, but I just pick up where I left off, so a little behind schedule.
I like seeing the progress so far, and I can tell I am getting stronger. After a shoulder surgery (a little over a year ago)..labral tear and rotator cuff, I healed great, and recovered quickly, but my strength just isn't the same. Still am having to do knee push ups, or leaning against the counter at times. Pull-ups are coming along nicely. I use a chair, but I am able to do a little more each time.
I hate Yoga from p90x, but I actually enjoy x3 yoga. I like the fact that all workouts are only 30 minutes long. So far my favorite day is MMX, didn't care for it the first time, but this last time I did it, I had a lot of fun.
I wish you all the best in your P90X3 journey, and fitness goals!0 -
Hi all. Just got my basic kit yesterday, read through everything last night and did the fitness test. I just turned 48, I'm married and have 3 kids. I need to stay healthy for myself and for them so I thought I'd give this a try. Myfitnesspal has been great to me with all the support I've been getting from guys like you! I lost a lot of weight last year but gained most of it back so now I'm looking for something new to motivate me. P90x3 seems to fit the bill. I've always been somewhat skeptical of exercise videos and have never bought one until now. I like Tony's style of instruction and attitude towards exercise. The only shortcoming I find is with the constant push to sell products. The intensity of the sales pitch for beachbody supplements comes in close second place to the intensity of the workouts! Maybe I'll change my tune after few weeks of 'bringing it' but for now I'll use my own supplements. I'll be starting in a few days. Wish me luck and friend me if you want to exchange some support! 0

Welcome thergj I think you will enjoy the program many people have been seeing great results with it. as for the BB supplements. thats just how they work but you definitely don't need them to be successful. I have only used their MRP (not the shakeology one) and I only use it on occasion if I have skipped a meal or just need that little extra at the end of the day. I don't think there is anything wrong with their products (in fact I think they are quite tasty) but you don't need them. just make sure to bring it and share your success with the group. again welcome to the group.0

Welcome! I think PX3 is an easy program to commit to, although the workouts will be tough! It's nice to have a group to come back to and share those tough moments. I think even in the beginning you can feel yourself getting stronger week to week so it keeps you motivated. I have three kids too- thankfully they're a bit older so getting my workouts in is easier. Glad your here!0 -
Welcome to the new X3ers!! We are here EVERYday so hang with us & we'll get to the end together!!0

Hello, everyone! My name is Jeff. My wife (Tasha) and I just started P90X3 last weekend. Liking the workouts so far. We're doing The Challenge tonight. I watched the workout last night to see what we're in for. Question about that...Did you set your goals low the first time you did it? I know I can do 10-15 standard pushups the first go-round, but not sure if I'll be able hang with that number later on in the workout.0
-
Thanks! I set what I thought was a realistic goal for pushups and it worked out about right. I did a bonus pushup on 2 of the sets, but my last for of the staggered pushups were 4 sets of 1. We're using the bands for pullups right now. I picked a pretty good number that, too. CVX tomorrow.I try not to set goals. If I set one too low, I kind of give up knowing I met my goal. If I set it too high, I feel bad if I don't meet it. I just do the move until failure. Then I push pause, sit in childs pose, catch my breath, unpause and resume. You will find in week 3-4 that you can do many more than in week one, and that feels good enough for me!0 -
Hi All,
I am about a month into P90X3. I completed Insanity before this, which I loved (I am a cardio girl), but I never had time to run or train for races (something I also love) while doing Insanity. The 30 minute P90X program seemed like a good way to keep some verity in my routines while I run and force me to strength train (something I don’t love so much.) Its a bit crazy learning all the moves in this program. I never did P90X so it's all new to me.0 -
Hi Everyone,
I am on Day 2 of P90X3, and was looking for a little accountability and support. I am a working wife and mother of 2, and always seem to be short on time and energy, but have a large supply of extra weight to lose, so this workout program seemed perfect. I am doing the Lean version, so I have only completed the Accelerator and the Warrior.
I find that I feel too much pressure when I set weight loss goals, especially if the scale or tape measure does not budge, so my goal for this workout program is to finish a complete round, and to be able to do at least 1 unmodified push up by the end.0
