There's a classic cycle that most people follow first.

The first three weeks go like this.

Chest & Back, Abs
Plyo
Shoulders & Arms, Abs
Yoga
Legs & Back, Abs
Kenpo
Stretch, Rest

Week 4

Yoga
Core
Kenpo
Stretch
Core
Yoga
Stretch, Rest

Then it goes into phase 2 which I haven't looked at yet.

Hi! My husband and I are starting today!.. My goal is to lose weight and tone up versus his is to gain weight/muscle. We are both doing the Classic and going to take it one day at a time!

I was just wondering, do all of you follow the nutrition guide or do you do what works for you?

Have a great week!

Finished Chest/Back and ARX. Was killed by dive bombers, diamonds, and pushups in general. Goal 1: Improve, improve, improve! I don't have a pull up bar, so I'm using resistance bands and a door -- anyone else using this method?

I just finished day 3 of p90x. Please add me to your friendlist. I'd love to keep up with everyone and their progress!

You could get an iron gym for your door, they work really well and are sturdy. It holds me up fine and no damage to the door frame or anything and I'm 230+ pounds.

I started the second week today. I improved on most of the exercises, but got worse with the dive bombers. :ohwell:

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.

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!

LOL thanks! I started week 4 today, it seems a little less intense (which makes me think week 5 will be hell). P90X was my boyfriends idea, and he got me into it by making it a competition...that may be one way to get your boyfriend into it lol! Hope all is going well!

Yes Week 4 is the Recovery Week, so it backs off a little and gives your muscle a chance to heal. Get ready for Phase 2, because it's a whole new ball game. Good luck!

Plyos again. I honestly think it's my least favorite..lol

Hi all! I'm joining in here as I just started yesterday. I've gotta say my upper body strength has *no where* else to go but up! After 25 pushups on the first exercise, I was lucky to break 4 or 5 in the push ups after that and the pull-ups were even more dismal.

Gotta start somewhere tho I'll keep pushing play!

johnjely

Day 2 done. Plyo is evil! I'll get better with time and effort, I'm sure, but today was a struggle to finish!

jane77

chest back abbs today. went better knowing what was coming next. used more weight and few more reps but actually burned less calories guess because i wasnt jogging waiting for the kids lol felt great
no matter what or how it went you did great got off the couch and pushed play GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Today was not a good one...but I have to stay optimistic. I cannot get discouraged. Keep it up guys!!

jane77

Today is plyo for me. Definitely the toughest one of this cycle, but it feels so great afterward. Not looking forward to Core Synergistics next week...lots of difficult moves, but good for the body!
