    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?

    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!

    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--

    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 journeys

    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.

    WRT Dreya Rolls. Momentum helps me. I try not to pause or stop between the two positions.

    Legs totally worked me to the point I was sighing in relief when I was about to change positions. Ab Ripper X is getting easier! I'm excited to be able to say that.

    Day 3 In the Bag ... Shoulders and Arms ... I LOVE IT !!!!! It seemed to go too fast! ARX I got a little better this time. The bicycles are KILLER. I hadn't realized that they tack on the ARX on the end of the disc so day 1 I switched out and tonight I found out totally by accident. I made the banana cream drink for my recovery and MAN IS IT GOOD! I am going to make that again for sure! I have to enter the rest of the recipes into the data base so I can switch them out. I am psyched for Yoga X tomorrow for sure. I am going to take a hike before coming home to do it though but I won't do my double back routine, just a straight shot.

    Now what to eat for dinner to use up the over 700 calories LOL

    Hi everyone,

    I need advice. I am here in a hotel room and have managed ok for the past two days doing the DVD's in a smaller space but I can't do the Kenpo here and give it justice. I am headed down to the exercise room and plan to swim after that. So...I will get exercise in today but not specifically Kenpo...should I ...

    A. skip it and pick up tomorrow with 'Saturday's work out?
    B. Do Friday and Saturday tomorrow?
    C Do Friday on Saturday and then Saturday on Sunday which is supposed to be the "rest" day?

    Thanks! If I do option C,I will still do the C stretch.

    YOu guys are rockin!

    I am not sure what day you started and what program you are doing but Kenpo is day 6 (classic) and day 7 is rest or Stretch X. I would say exercise today or use it as a rest day then do Kenpo tomorrow and the Stretch (I LOVE the stretch it feels good and isnt really a work-out to me but a reward).

    I may have to do the same every Saturday because I work at my gym on Saturdays for a full day that starts in the early morning and I have a hard time getting my butt in gear on Saturday mornings and I don't like to exercise after 6pm because I can't go to sleep until 3am if I do... which throws off my whole schedule. So I think I will do the Kenpo tomorrow morning then stretch afterwards.
