    I did 3 rounds of P90X//P90X+ in 2009...did other workout programs in 2010. This Thursday I'm starting a 90 day hybrid round of P90X and Turbo Fire. Using strength training/ab workouts from P90X, cardio from Turbo Fire, and a shortish yoga workout from the Tony Horton One-on-One series.

    I'm in week 4 now. Although MyFitnessPal says I've lost 7 pounds I've truthfull lost 17 pounds since 19 Nov 10 as I didn't start MyFitnessPal until after I had been dieting already. I started SOME of the dieting on 19 Nov but I didn't really start the full P90X diet pyramid until 6 Dec 2010. I started after seeing the UNBELIEVABLE results my 28 year-old son had after only 72 days on P90X. He has been "chunky" ever since he turned a teenager, but you should see the muscles and 6-pack stomach he has now. THE PROGRAM WORKS!!! I've already lost from 163 to 146 since 19 Nov (although I didn't really start the program until 23 days ago). But more importantly I'm in much better health now and starting to get much more fit.

    But I want to stress to all that you should REALLY WORK THE PROGRAM. My son failed at first because he did the diet some times and did the work-out some times. He saw only a little weight loss and no added muscle. But once he started over, ate the right foods (primarily tier 1 and 2) every 2 1/2 hours (yes - you heard me right), ate not until full but until not hungry, kept a diary up EVERY DAY (I suggest MyFitnessPal), and did the exercise EVERY DAY (no excuses) ---> THEN HE SAW UNBELIEVABLE RESULTS! AND YOU WILL TOO!!! I'm at work or I would post his YouTube video showing his results. Maybe later I will do so.

    BTW - I'm VERY glad I didn't wait until the first of the year but started P90X during the three holidays. The diet has been the easy part and I don't feel I've missed much. Getting up at 0430 every day to work out before going to work so I'll be working out on an empty stomach as he suggests has been the hardest part. But I love the results I'm already getting for a 52-year old man. I plan on sticking it out for the 90 days unless I get injured. Feel free to check up on me as I believe it helps to have people hold you accountable. Sorry for the length of this post but I really want to encourage others to try it.

    Congrats on starting P90X. My wife and I completed it back in Feb 2010. We will be start P90X Lean on January 16th as we needed 4 weeks to get in back in shape for it (completing Slim in 6 & couple of Jillian Michael Work-out 2 a days to get back in P90X shape). Good luck and will post back soon as we start. Will also be starting Insanity 15 days after we start P90X (2 a days).

    I did Shoulders & Arms today...really tried to up my weight over previous rounds completed in 2009 (I've been doing other programs in 2010). 20 pound swimmers press is BRUTAL!!!!!! I was pretty wrecked by the end...still need to go walk some dogs and put together a demo video of a fitness challenge for New Year's Day.

    I'm in! I got it for Xmas and didn't want to wait till New Years to start (why bother??)

    Today was Week 1, Day 4 (W1D4) - Yoga X. I wish it burned more calories, but it was a very good yoga workout. No way I'm doing wheel or crow, though! I'll work up to crow eventually maybe.

    I'm still sore from day 1, but this may have helped stretch some of that out a little...a little.

    Looking forward to the stretching DVD on Sunday.

    Hi! I was able to borrow the DVDs and just started P90X today (lean). I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with it once school starts back in a couple weeks, but I'll try my best! All I have are 5 lb hand weights and my fiance's 20lb kettleball, but I could probably use my cats if need be... They're a good 8, 10, and 12 lbs! :laugh:

    The Core Synergistics had some pretty tough parts, and some relatively easy parts. Is it normal to be able to do the banana roll perfectly on all but 1 side??? For some reason I can't do it while lying on my left side. Weird... Couldn't do the similar move in the Ab Ripper as well. At all. Either I'm more uncoordinated than I thought or extremely weak in my right obliques... :ohwell:

    P90X Lean W1D2 - Cardio X
    Oh man... I'm so sore from Core Synergistics and ARX yesterday!!! But I did everything on Cardio X except for those banana and Dreya rolls! Yay! Tomorrow is Shoulders and Arms, so hopefully my meager dumbbells will be up to the challenge...

    Wait till you do ARX while still sore from the last time you did ARX! I'll be doing it for a 3rd time today (legs&back)...still sore!!! :sad:
    It's challenging, and it hurts, but its a GOOD kinda pain :devil:

    Regarding available weights....buying hand weights every time you need to increase would get very expensive. But a full set of resistance tubes with multiple colors can be had for about $20. That takes care of increasing weight since your 5# and 10# can be used together to make 15, etc. Plus, it can be used for the chin up bar exercises (make sure the set has a door attachment - which is just a nylon strap with a stop at the end).

    That would definitely be a better solution than using my assortment of cats... :bigsmile: Where would you recommend getting them. I've heard the Walmart variety tend to snap and hit you in the face. Ouch...

    The resistance bands at Walmart are crap. Sports Authority has a great assortment, plus a handle that holds three bands at a time (for back). There is a site by Bodylastics that you can look up. Their bands are great and the site has a video that shows you how to use their bands with the P90X program.

    I started week 4 3 days ago (did a day or cardio and a day of yoga - slightly off schedule due to time restraints. Yesterday during yoga I started to feel nauseous and it just got worse throughout the day. Icame down with a stomach bug (it's going around my office) but have been feeling better today, so hopefully back on track tomorrow. Thanks for the advice on the bands - I have a set from my BF's parents and I've already been hit once!
