    Hi all, Today was my first day of the Lean program. I feel like i did really well on Core Synergistics but some things were really hard. First off, i couldn't take it serious whenever Tony says "BANNANA". It just sounded really funny to me but i do think i will get over it.

    I also have a question for anyone who might have an answer. Does anyone have tips or suggestions on how to dreya rolls. I was having a bit of an issue getting up once you get down. i tried pushing with my arms but no luck yet. Hopefully it will improve in time.

    the banana thing has me laughing at 12:20 AM over here. i find him super cheesy in the classic videos too

    How do you feel today after having survived day one? I actually feel pretty good am am just about to start my day two workout. Hope that everyone else is doing fine and still motivated.

    For me, it helps reaching my arms all the way out to the front and imagining a rope or sth like that and then lift myself up by virtually pulling on the rope.

    My husband and I just did Legs & Back + Ab Ripper. I have to say I have a LOOONG road ahead of me because some of those sets are so hard for me!! I am excited for this, though!! I have my calendar on my fridge marking each day off with a smiley face lol

    I just did Chest & Back and it was super hard. I kept taking breaks & drinking water, so I took 2 hours to do the one hour :) and there's kinks also to work out, like I need some heavier weights for the lawnmower.
    I feel really good about starting this because I know it's going to be thrilling to see the improvements from my numbers today!
    Yaaay us!

    I wish I could be in ...
    I have to put P90X on hold until after my half marathon.
    But I have ordered my resistance bands and my pull up bar...
    And I am planning on starting February 14th....

    Oh, what is the difference between the classic and the lean program. How do you know which one you want to do? How can I still fit in my running 3 days/week with P90X?

    To my knowledge the difference between the classic program and the lean is that lean is more geared toward weight-loss and cardio while the classic is with muscle definition but there is cardio as well. If you are already running 3 times i week, i would recommend the classic because you are already getting in alot of cardio in with your running.

    I definately feel pretty good and am still motivated. I am also still on my high from seeing Wicked the musical 2 days ago. I am so Defying Gravity. On the 2 dvds i have done so far (core synergistics, and cardio x) i have been able to get through the entire dvd but the dreya rolls i am still having issues with. But i am hoping for the best, right now i am comparing it to me never being able to do a push up until this fall. I've always had a really weak upper body and i never thought i would be able to do 1 real pushup but now i can do 15 in a row off my knees. That is a real accomplishment for someone who couldn't do a push up for 20 years. So i am hoping the same thing that happend with my push-ups will happen with the dreya rolls as well.

    P.S. Tony said Bannana again today and it cracked me up :)

    Maybe you should try lighter weights to get into the groove. You might be starting to high and that could be why it feels so hard right now. I would play around with it

    I did plyo this morning. It was tough. I am glad I have a 10x10 wrestling mat too soften the impact.
    This program is great. I really enjoy Tony's style of coaching. This reminds me of combination of wrestling practices and boot camp.
    It's been a long time since either, Lucky I have my base of conditioning from running a half marathom last fall>
