Edorice ... SERIOUSLY hear you on that. I have to stop this and the push up bars were my last "exercise" expenses for a long time.0

Great attitude! BRING IT!!!!!0 -
Great job to everyone who has made it this far!!! Yoga X is certainly one of the hardest work-outs on the p90x scale for many of us.
Day 4: P90x - Yoga X, Preparing for Karate belt testing this weekend, more Wing Chun and Shaolin training, and that'll be my work out. for the day
Good luck on your belt testing. What belt are your working towards. I achieved a Blue belt in Tae Kwon Do back in highshool and more recently an Orange in Kenpo (but then my school closed).
Hello there sir, I'm going to be testing for my Yellow belt (Karate- Okinawan Shonen Ryu), but I have a Orange belt (equivalent to Brown belt) in Tang Soo Do (for my school), a 2nd Degree Black in Hapkido, and over 15 years of experience in Snake/Crane style Shaolin Kung Fu, I'm also training in Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Jujutsu, Aikido, and JKD.0 -
Listen to Tony...Do your best and forget the rest. If you do your best every day, PROGRESS!0

Yeah today is the day that I seem to be "feeling" everything... especially after the AM Yoga without the cardio blood flow -- never again! I keep reminding myself it is all for a worthy cause. I see a date with my tub and some epsom salt tonight!0 -
Yoga complete and I forgot how crane can make me feel like a failure...will I ever be able to complete that 60 seconds...I'm not sure...I will keep trying...I also did a 5k on the elliptical for some extra calorie burn.0

My legs are killing me! That was some yoga!
Wow, I am not really looking forward to legs tomorrow. Well, I guess I'm nervous.
I hope everybody is having a good week so far!0 -
All I can say is Thank You DH for talking me into the hot tub!!! I spent 20 min tonight stretching and soaking and all my muscle pains have disappeared!!! YEAH!!! Our tub is outside and we had a high of 40 the last week or so... I haven't been going out. I was sooooo sore today that I said F-it and decided to soak. WOW my muscles needed it. I will be keeping the tub on standby for the rest of the workouts...0

Day 2 DONE ... the plyometrics nearly killed me. No really ... I wish I had listened to Tony and brought a bucket cuz I felt like I was going to puke at least once ... and pass out a couple of times. I love how he says during the LAST water break that this is the exercise to have a little recovery mix in your water ... NOW HE TELLS ME!
All in all not too bad on the knees. WATCH PAM PEOPLE most of the time (like 85%) she is doing modified moves. I was following her a lot but found myself not modifying too too much. I think once I get into the swing of things I won't feel like puking (too much) LOL.
I am looking forward to shoulders and arms although my arms are KILLING ME from yesterdays Chest and Back LOL. I was going to make one of the shakes but have to FREEZE all the bananas LOL so guess I am going to be cutting and bagging banana pieces tonight! The Vanilla Isopure is great in plain almond milk with a little ice to make it cold. My friend gave me a shaker and everything LOL.0 -
Karen: Next week you may want to try Plyo first thing in the morning. I drink two glasses of water when I wake up then putz around for about 30 minutes then pop in the DVD. It really helps to NOT have anything in the digestive track. Another thought is a pre-workout drink - I use Nitro NCG about 20 minutes before long runs or strenuous exercise. It gives me nice smooth energy and that extra kick. Another popular one is Jac3d (which I also like and I think it tastes better).0

Ok, you all might think I am totally crazy, but I loved the yoga! I guess I am still fairly flexible from my days as a gymnist when I was younger, but it was great. I was certainly shaking along with them when I was holding the pose to the very last seconds, but I could do just about everything. Crane is difficult for me. I have seen it done many times before, but never knew it by this name. I couldn't do it when I was younger, and right now, I can't do it now either. But soon! Soon, I will do it!
I took the advice of a few who went before me, and I warmed up doing 1 mile on the elliptical trainer. I wore my heart rate monitor from then until the end of yoga, and do you know what it told me I burned doing all of that? 1,708 calories! I didn't even eat that many calories today.0 -

I can do crane for a good 2 seconds still.0 -

I couldn't do this before work ... I have to be at work at 7:30 and I am not a morning person LOL ... I will just rethink my strat before I do it next week thursday. I ate a fiber bar right before starting.0 -
My legs are so sore from plyo. Yoga X is long! I knew my balance was bad but I didn't realize it was that bad. Hot mess!0

hahaha ... I get to do Yoga on Saturday which is nice because I don't have to work. I bought yoga blocks too 0

P90X Lean Day 5: Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X
Wow, that was a great workout! I was soaked with sweat, still am actually, lol. During the Legs & Back DVD, my BPM were often in Zone 5 and if not 5 then Zone 4. 145 AVG BPM over the 87 minute period it took me to do the DVD. Had to pause fairly often after each exercise to let my BPM go down when it got too close to my MAX BPM of 180.
Not able to do unassisted pullups yet, but I did as many as I could with the chair assist. Halfway through the DVD I paused and made myself a protein drink cause I didn't know if I would make it if I didn't. Sipped on it between exercises.
Did better on the Ab Ripper X this time. More reps per exercise. Getting there

Ouch! 7:30am? I forgot that when I lived out west I usually had to be at work that early too -- we worked on East Coast time for the most part. It was "nice" to be out so early but I am not much of a morning person either!
Those blocks will come in handy. I didn't have any but am going to go purchase one this weekend for sure!0 -
Legs and back done.This may well be my favorite. I do use a band instead of a pull up bar. We have one but I like the control of the band better for myself. Besides, I want tone and some definition but I am not looking to build a ton of muscle on top. To be honest, I don't want to look like Dreya Weber. :blushing: She is amazing but not for me. Abripper done but still really hard for me! That is a work out I would love to master over time.
Loving my protein drink this morning.
Planning a nice long swim today, not fast but long!

I posted this on my wall but want to ask here too:
Here's the deal; I am going to do elliptical after work on the days that I have weights with the P90X. I just feel "naked" without at least 40 minutes on the elliptical and tomorrow is Yoga so I am going to take my "stroll" in the hills early in the morning before Yoga to help clear my mind. The more "cardio" days (like with grrrr Plyometrics) I will just come home and work out. What do my P90Xers have to say about Kenpo. Do I need to supplement with cardio on Monday?0 -
Day 5 Work out plan: Legs and Back, Ab Ripper X, Wing Chun/Shaolin training, and some nunchaku/sword practice. Preparing for an upcoming martial-arts tournament too, 20th of this month. Oooh yeah!0

Legs/back/ab ripper and a 10 minute warm up on elliptical...my calves were screaming today!0
-
Legs and Back done. I was a little hesitant this morning becuse yesterday my left quad was killing me and I felt so stiff and sore (note to self that is what life will be like in 20 years IF I don't stick with this lifestyle) -- but I got up and pushed play and it was not bad at all. I kept up on most of it (used light or no weights). I did assisted pull-ups/chin-ups but guess what.. it wasn't so bad!! I may not dread Monday as much as I thought I would.
I got a little bit of a late start becuase I forgot that I had a 10 am appointment so I have to do ARX at lunch after my cardio OR tonight when I get home (just depends on if I feel like doing it with or without the DVD). I am optimistic that I will see an improvement here too. The first couple of times I did it with shoes... this time I will try it without.
Weight loss wise I seem to have hit a plateau but I am not going to stress about it because I have heard countless times that the scale is not your friend for the initial stage of this program. On the bright side, I tried on a pair of pants that were waaaay too tight 10 days ago (Could barely button them which left me with a muffin top and a toe :grumble: :noway: ) and I thought.. well, let me just see how much further I have to go before I can wear these.. .. Guess what? THEY FIT... PERFECTLY!! I am sporting them with pride today!!
Have a good workout today--0 -

YAY! You are going to have a love/hate relationship with it ... I have only completed 2 days but man I really can't wait to get home tonight to do Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X ...
Can't wait for you to start posting!0 -

I just ordered P90X from my library and got it 2 days ago. The first day i got it, i made a copy of all the dvds and read the books that came with it. The day after that i started it.
Today i am on day 2 of the Lean program which was the cardio x dvd. I am doing pretty well with it i think but i am having a hell of a time on those dreya rolls i think there called. I am 5'4 and 185 pound but i cannot seem to get back up on these things once you get down even though i have pushed really hard with my arms. I hope in time it will get better, if anyone has got any advice on dreya rolls, plz let me know. I know they are in the cardio x and core synegistics dvds. Good luck everyone in your journeys0 -
Had to change next weeks workouts to take Thursday off instead of Tuesday which means my first break from P90X isn't going to be until THURSDAY yikes! I have a birthday party thing to go to that night and its at a swanky place so I have to get dressed up. The following week is back to normal.0
