    Completed Power 90 3-4 last night. Whoo! Talk about challenging myself! I'm glad I moved up early though because it is a faster workout and more intense. The first video was kind of slow, even if I can't do all of the moves, I'm much better than when I started. Kinda nervous for the Cardio part tonight, Sculpt was hard enough.

    Ha ha...I replied to that board too....but I think I was one of the few that understood what the OP was trying to convey. I knew once I saw that title that he was going to get bombarded...and he did!

    I find it extremely sad that is what happens to people who post a different view or opinion as the majority. The discussion boards should be used for the purpose of 'discussion', all too often members are smacked on their butt if they do/say something others don't agree with. Sad.

    I agree with you completely about the different opinions I think everyone to each there own, I just thought the title was a bit much cause it struck me the wrong way... I don't mind people giving there opinions, as long as I can give mine also :smile:
    Don't mean anything against anyone or anything and I am sorry if I struck people wrong with my comments....don't mean to come off the wrong way...

    I completely get what you're saying...and you're quite right, I think that is one of the downfalls of the message boards...it's very hard for people to convey what they want in a way that doesn't offend other people or make themselves 'sound' ignorant. (Not you, the OP, among others)

    I hope you didn't think I thought this of you! I think you're great and I love when people voice their opinions! :)
    I was struck wrong as soon as I saw his title too....that's why I just knew it wasn't going to turn out well for him...lol...poor guy. I can see why so many were put off by his thread, I was just able to get where he was coming from and what he meant. I looked @ the thread again today...holy wow...it is STILL carrying on over there. I thought by now people would have tired of it all....I say, WHO CARESSS!! Do you and let others do them! :drinker:

    Personally, I think I am falling in love with P90X!! (Seeing Mr. Tony each day is a bonus....that lil stud muffin!) :love:
    So nice to have a group of fellow X'ers to chit chat (or vent) to....we've got a great group! **Butt Slaps all around!** :p
    Have a great day peeps......get to sweatin'!

    Girlllllllllll look at you go! I do miss the original at times......enjoy the Cardio, don't get too worried....it's pretty much the same as level 1-2, except some parts are a little faster and a couple sections have an additional reps with a few new moves at the end. I'm sure you'll do great! Get it girl! :drinker:

    Still on board. Too tired to post much. Keeping Calorie Limit at 2030 daily.
    Have to get up at 3:45 am most days to fit P90X due to crazy evening schedule.
    I am not complaining.
    I think "How lucky I am to get to do the P90X workouts as not everyone can for any number of reasons.
    Keep up the hardwork everyone.

    W3D4 complete!

    Waaaaaa Hoooooo! I am hella happy!

    I had planned on replacing the Stretch dvd for the Yoga dvd since I hated it, hurt my wrists to do it (arthritis), it was too long, and it was too boring. Today I thought about what Tony says, "Do your best & forget the rest"....and what I said to MYSELF...."YOU'RE the one who wanted to 'challenge' yourself, dumbass"....SO....

    I made myself put that stupid Yoga disk in....and I just DID IT. Didn't think about how hard some of the moves were...didn't think about how much LONGER I had to go.....................and I finished the whole thing (AND was able to do all but a few moves correctly!) Yeahhh baby! Sorry, had to let it out before I burst! :tongue:

    ok kids, how are you doing hitting the 1800 calories? I've been doing pretty poor at that and think that I'm gaining. :( Do you find that eating all that food helps a ton?

    My first 2 weeks i was at 1600 calories a day and i was feeling really queezy in my second week. I then got off my butt and went to the store and bought some protein powder and made some shakes and planning on smoothies as well. This week i can definately feel a difference, i have more energy and i can make it through my workouts without feeling sick. Buying protein powder will get your calories up to 1800 for sure. I really do wanna lose weight but i think this program is more about being stronger in all aspects of your life. Right now, i just really wanna make it to the end correctly. If i get weightloss that will be great, but i already know that my clothes are fitting better and i am alot faster at work.

    Yeah I agree about not caring so much about the weight as I do losing these inches!!! I can't believe how great my clothes are fitting also!! I can wear my jeans directly out of the dryer and they are still loose!! I haven't lost anything all week but I can tell I am toning and losing inches so I will take it where I can get it!!!

    Hi everyone! Just finished pure cardio and yogaX today. I noticed that i get really really cold after the workouts, and i am wondering what is causing that. Is anyone else experiencing that?

    Other than that great day, great workout...

    That was great, thats what i think when i am getting ready to do yoga too. But the reality is that the sooner you put in the dvd and get started, the sooner it will be over.

    Wow!!! I am always surprised at new things that I can accomplish! I love this program just for the fact that if you really try hard you can always surprise yourself!! Oh and my brother in law just said he could tell that I have lost inches..I didn't tell him I had until after he told me that wonderful compliment!!! What a great evening!!! LOL!:wink:

    I am on my second round and still surprising myself!! It is such a great motivator and keeps me going all the time!! I'm always pushing myself to do better than the last workout... and I LOVE the idea of writing everything down... it makes it really easy to see the progress in my fitness every day! Congrads with your success and keep it up!!!

    Ab ripper x is still REALLY hard for me.... that is the one workout where I just can't keep up at all!!! But just do your best and forget the rest right???

    Only of the few problems I have with the ab ripper x is keeping my legs straight throughout all those exercises...It seems that all they want to do is bend. I fight to keep them half way straigh, but it is really hard!! I am going to keep working on it and hopefully this improves with time!

    I hear that! It's still weird to me that we're only 3 weeks (+) in to the program, yet many of us can already see/feel ourselves progress! I am already able to keep up/do the moves properly better than I was the first time....and it's only week 3! (???) Seems unreal.

    I did want to say though, what helps me learn the moves and be able to DO them, is pausing the disk. A few of the moves take me longer to reach 25 reps than it does for them. I figure, I'd rather be a little slower but reach 25, than try to keep up, without proper form, and only reach 15-20 reps. It takes longer to finish the dvd, but I'm hoping to work my way up to their pace.
