P90X - First timer

Keisha604

Hello everyone! I just finished day 1 of P90X. Is anyone else wanting to start today or this week? I'd love to have someone to talk to about the workouts, our results, and just the journey through the 90 days!

I just began week 3. I'd love to have a female to relate to about the workouts as I am doing the workouts with my boyfriend.

Hiya first timer! I just wanted to say that don't quit. It may seem hard but you only get results if you try. If you need some extra motivation daily, you can friend me. I have been trying to keep a motivational blog. It has some of my troubles that I went through on there.

Hey I just started today too. I honestly did more pushups today than all of last year!

Hi, I'm going to the gym for my 1st ever time tomorrow, will need so much support because I'm really nervous. I am so unfit and i'm worried people will look at me, but need to get over my fears and go.

Hope it goes well for you, i'll add you as a friend as i'm new to here too and the more encouragement we give each other the better.

Would welcome any advise you can give Mel xx

I was nervous the first time I went to a gym too. It's normal, but what you gotta realize is that you're there for you and it doesn't matter if others look or not. Besides I'm sure it can't be as bad as my first day was because I walked into the locker room to see a butt naked old man shaving his armpits.

haha! I think I did more push ups than I have ever done in my life!

You guys are great! I think your responses are the perfect example of why I love MFP. Everyone is so encouraging and helpful!

I was very nervous my first few times I went as well. I was extremely nervous even going in to signup but after a few times of going I loved it. I now do spin classes 4 days a week as well and it helps me a ton

I tried to get my boyfriend in on the p90x action, but he refuses to do workout videos. Maybe at the end of 90days he'll be a believer! lol Keep up the good work! 3weeks seems so far away!

Not really I am just following my calorie guidelines on MFP mainly. I try not to eat processed or pasta's though. After yesterday I can already feel changes in my strength even from 1 week though

I'm finishing up week #2 (though it's my 4th round). Stick with it...you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish in 90 days!

Flawlessk

I am starting day 1 of P90X tomorrow (Mon Jan 10th).

Great to have a girl to chat to

i'm not sure if i'm going to follow their diet or not. I won't be having any protein/energy drinks/bars but i will be cutting down and healthying up xx

I'm doing the same thing. Just curious to see who actually follows the diet.

I will start week 2 tomorrow! Today is my day of rest--thank goodness! I need a break! I wore heels to church today and my legs were killing me whne I walked up the stairs.

I'm on the 2nd week of my 5th or 6th round (P90X/Insanity hybrid although I've done P90X 3x's) and I have followed P90X's nutrition plan 3x's. It's VERY effective although too many carbs for me. I somewhat follow the (P90X) nutrition but my current nutrition is more paleo (50-100g's carbs, max, per day).

I'm starting a hybrid round tomorrow (P90X/Insanity). I've done 2 rounds of P90X (one lean and one classic) and one round of Insanity.

I agree that the best thing about MFP (or one of the best things) is the encouragement you get from everyone.

Jrak1980

I'd love to get your feedback on P90X when you are done. I started Insanity today because I'm actually getting a bit bored with the gym. I constantly have to change it up in order to keep myself going. Good luck to you all!

cmarsh1

I also started P90X today. There were alot of push ups! Would love to keep up with you and discuss. I have been absent from here since last summer and I am ready to get back into the swing of things.

DesperateDancer

I have P90x and would like to start it asap but im not sure if i should follow classic or lean i want to really drop my body fat percentage any advice as to which plan to follow?x

SweetCharity

Hey Everyone! I've done two rounds of P90X myself and I love how strong it made me feel! @DesperateDaner - I always suggest doing a Classic round as your first time. And then if you want to do a second round after that, you can tweak the program as needed. But they give you everything you need with the books that come with it - so just do the classic program as laid out. Feel free to add me as a buddy everyone and ask me any questions you might have! I've also done Insanity, Slim in 6, Turbo Fire and am currently rockin' Chalean Extreme!

Day 2 down! I felt kind of dumb today though because I could barely do some of the workouts. My legs aren't exactly the strongest.

Creiche

I start week 2 tomorrow after getting halfway through the program last year. It kicks your butt, but I love how quickly you can see and feel yourself getting stronger and more fit.

doo1963

Started my hybrid round this morning. Chest & back (will do Abx tonight). I forgot how many pushups there are in this session. Holy cow. I think I did pretty good. I concentrated on my form versus quantity (tried to go really low in the pushups). Pull ups are still my downfall but I tried to less help from my leg on the chair in the second go through.

Also did the elliptical at lunch for 35 minutes. I'm trying to get extra cardio in on the strength training days. We'll see how my body holds up.

Well... I'm going to claim being a P90X virgin because I only survived the first 3 wks of the program last spring. Honestly, my first night last year... my 16 yr-old found me a heaping pool of sweat and nausea on my family room floor. After her laughing, I told her to just get me a pillow. It wasn't until I did my second round of Core that I realized I must have passed out during (or just blocking out) the last 15 minutes.

Although that first night should have been a wake up call that it was more than I thought, I kept at it and it was awesome. I even looked forward to my time with Tony every night until... I didn't keep up my calories one day and tried to work out. I had a ridiulous headache and nausea that kicked in about 10 minutes into the session. It lasted me about 3 days. I lost my confidence and never regained my motivation to do it.

I am doing the 30 Day Shred in the mornings and would love to add this to my evenings. I will be doing the LEAN track.

Let's BRING IT all!

Day 2! Just got home from class and although I'm a little tired...I'm ready to rock some Plyos!

Also--I was feeling really good after yesterdays workout but when I got up this morning..HOLY COW! lol I am so sore. My upper body...abs and up...is killing me!

doo1963

Day 2, Week 1 of my hybrid: Plyo completed this morning. Burned 400 calories. I think going through Insanity really helped me with this workout. For most of the sequences, I was still going strong when the time was up.

awesome! I did plyo for the first time yesterday and I was definitely struggling on some of the moves!

Keisha604

How many of you wear a heart rate monitor while doing p90x? Last night while I was doing plyo Tony was talking about how high his heart rate was(about 145-150) and mine was blowing his out of the water. Is it because he's in amazing shape and I'm not? What kind of numbers do you guys get?
