W1D6 & W1D7 complete!
-Kenpo X & Stretch X-
Done over the weekend. In all honesty, I was quite disappointed in the Kenpo X. With all the remarks and reviews I'd read I was expecting something really hardcore...something that would make me BRING IT!!
I mean, I sweat, I get a good workout, but not at all nearly the hardcore workout I was expecting or hoping for. Perhaps had I never done the original, I would be more impressed with the 'X' version. I think the only disk that impressed me (so far) & left me feeling absolutely spent was the legs & back disk. I am going to stick with it and continue to workout hard since it's my nature to do so....but I am hoping to get some of these great results everyone raves about.
And so, today.......begins W2D1.....here we go!! :bigsmile:0 -
X Stretch for me today. It was absolutely heavenly!! I am one seriously hurtin' unit after this week, haha!
Also, I'm wondering who is following the nutrition plan... last time I did Phase 2 of the diet for the first two months, and this time I'm trying Fat Shredder. It's only been one week, but holy moly, I am so sick of protein!! It feels like too much, and I think it's making me a little ill, like feeling nauseous and icky stomach-wise, but I'm trying as best I can. There is no possible way I could eat as much protein MFP recommends if I customized my numbers according to P90X's plan - I'm Level 1 at 1800 cals/day, and at 50% protein MFP says that's 225g a day!!! The best I've done is 150g which sounds like plenty enough. Anyways, I was just curious what everyone's eating and how that's going! :happy:
I am trying to follow the fat shredder plan... however it really is A LOT of protein.... I'm doing the best I can with it and I'm kinda using the portion approach to things.... just eyeballing my 5 proteins.... 2 dairy....1 carb.... etc. and following the chart the best I can!! I have been adding some extras in... often I'm having an extra fruit... or an extra dairy ... I will say that I'm NOT doing the diet perfectly... but I am doing my best!! :-)
Week 2 for me today already!!!! Here's to a great week everyone!!!0 -

So Week 2 begins today for me... Any Arrested Development fans out there!? I swear, every day Tony reminds me more and more of Jobe. Anyhow, great work and lets keep it up!!!0

W2D2 for me!!!i haven't got the workout in yet today but I think I might change it up and do it this afternoon since there is like 4 inches of snow and I have nothing to do and can't go anywhere!!! i actually am looking forward to working out!!
Does anyone else exchange another dvd for the yoga??? I am sorry I just get so bored, and for an hour and a half!!!!! Any suggestions??0 -

I sometimes do the Tony One on One: Fountain of Youth Yoga (two of these dvds came with my program) and the yoga is about 45 minutes.... I have a hard time doing the 90 minute one... i try to do it fi I can... if not i'll do the 45 minute one and add some extra cardio in!0 -

I agree completely! Others had mentioned using other yoga dvd's, or using the Stretch X dvd instead. For me personally, I am finding it hard doing so much toning and not much cardio...I usually add a bit of running on the days I don't do Cardio X or Kenpo. For the yoga, my issue is the arthritis in my wrists makes it extremely hard to do SO many of the SAME moves throughout much of the dvd....I may replace it with Stretch X.0 -

The soreness is CRAZY! Gotta love the BURN!0 -
Hi all, Just finished W1D3 Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
Today i switched from my 5 pound weights to a resistance cord and it wasn't that great. I barely got any resistance on the "Two Arm Tricep Kickbacks", "Static Arm Curls", "Flip Grip Twist Kickbacks", and "Crouching Cohen Curls". I ended up switching to my 10 pound weights and writing a note about it in my book. On Ab Ripper X, I can definately tell that i am getting stronger. I still can't hit the 25 reps that they want, but i can do a couple reps with proper form. Around 8 at a time than a 10 second break, sometimes 5. I am very excited about yoga coming up.
P.S i saw that we had some more weigh-ins and i will update the list tonight0 -
Wow just got done with cardio X!!! i love that I actually know what I am doing this round, and it makes the work out that much more hardcore!!! The sweat is dripping off me and it feels good!!!0

W2D1 is done, did Pure Cardio of the Insanity DVD's. Brutal. Just wanted to do a bit more cardio and less weights this go-round so I will try this instead of the Legs/Back DVD. Really going to concentrate on the diet as looking at the chart many of the challengers lost a bit of weight so I want to get that down a bit as well.0

Hey guys! I really had a great weekend with 5 workouts (including running - but without the overcrowded gym
). I really feel kind of sore today - but it was totally worth it - I am so proud of myself! And I still managed to do Kenpo X today. I love Kenpo X - especially the beginning, but it gets too easy (for me) towards the end of the workout - although I still struggle with my coordination when they accelerate the movements...
I actually try to get a little ahead of schedule because I will take my mom to an extended shopping-musical-sightseeing-girls-weekend in New York on Thursday. And I am so excited about it - but I guess, I will not find much time to do the P90X workouts according to the schedule. I still hope to be able to go running in Central Park - I love that place!0 -
So i was a little discouraged after weigh in this week. I actually gained one pound. Hopefully just water weight.

Anyone have any suggestions for some extra cardio dvds??? We've been doing cardio x for our double.... we tried a couple other dvds (they were all too easy) I just think doing cardio x all the time i'm going to get bored.... i have an elliptical and i do use that, however my husband and i have been working out together most of the time and we're looking for some more intense cardio..... anyone do the biggest loser cardio max workout?? I put it on my netflix Q.... any other suggestions (especially something rather inexpensive please!) would be great!!!0

Actually, If you have access to the insanity programs, I would suggest "PURE CARDIO" from that program. I think it'll give you that spice and burn you are looking for. Its anything but boring I kid you not!...
On another note I just completed W2D2 Cardio X and I truly feel like I may have to step up this program also. Don't get me wrong, its not like I can do the Dreya Roll or anything, LOL. but once I truly master the YOGA X I would have completely OWNED the cardio portion. but I feel good, I recommend just exhaling on most impacts, it really does save energy.0 -
Hi All,
Just Did Yoga X and didn't get through the whole think. I had 20 mins left but i really gotta start getting ready for work. I think tomarrow i will finish the last 20 mins before i start the Legs and back/ab ripper tomarrow. It will be an extra warmup. Even though i didn't finish the yoga, my body is still pretty shaky, It was a good wake up for my muscles.0
