    Second time through Plyo today and it kicked my butt just as hard as the first time! Phew! I need a nap! I was able to do a better job on the exercises for the most part though.

    And most exciting, no shin pain! I've struggled with shin splints for some time. I've been stretching and working diligently to get rid of them and it was helping until I did Plyo last week! But over the weekend I got new shoes and orthotics and no shin pain today! At all! I am so happy about this! I did all the jumping and the only thing holding me back was my fitness level, not my shins! Now that I've got that taken care of I can work on strengthening them more.

    Tomorrow is my favorite workout so far: Shoulders and Arms. I did like the Legs & Back workout but I'll like it better when I'm stronger! :wink:

    ETA: Edorice, I am jealous of your beautiful push up form! I gotta work on that...

    Good evening everyone!!! Well, just got done with the mother of all X workouts…..plyo!!!! I haven’t done it in a loooong time but it wasn’t that bad! My fiancé even made it all the way through! I’m so proud of him! And now, I’m off to fit club to do Cardio X! WOW!!!! I’m gonna be pooped!

    Tabhig: Welcome! P90X will definitely get you that bikini bod you’re looking for! I look forward to reading your posts! Keep up the good work!

    Lovely: Ouch, a strained muscle in your abdomen, that doesn’t sound comfortable. Maybe do some stretching for it, like cobra. Hope it gets better!

    Dara: Time flies when you’re getting fit!!! Way to go girl!

    Jata: I thought getting all my calories in would be easy but it’s been kind of a struggle and not exactly eating some of what I had on my menu at the time I had but I manage to get it in. I have protein bars, those help, big calories and protein.

    Jenna: Hey! Come on in! Hope you have a good day 1 and remember that every day that you push play is one day closer to your goal! You can do it, we can help!

    Fran: Nice job girl! I got my new shoes too and noticed a huge difference! I felt like I could just jump around all night!

    Well, gotta run to the next workout! Have a great evening and I’ll see ya tomorrow!

    In week 2 day 2. Did Plyo today. I was so tired during it but made it through. I'm hoping next week I get better at everything. I wish there were more hours in the day. I really want to add in additional cardio while doing P90x but don't have the time during the week. I'll try to add in on the weekend. Hope you all are doing well.

    I am on Day 2 of Week 2 of Lean (Cardio-X). I brought it more this week than last week (682 calories burned). I made it through the entire workout with very short pauses for water breaks and towelling off. My biggest accomplishment from week one to today was I did about 5 or 6 (lost count) halfway decent Dreya Rolls. Those puppies are brutal! I also flopped around a little better on Superman-Banana, although I am still having a helluva time keeping my legs up in Banana. Overall, I am VERY happy with the progress made in just one week. I LOVE P90X! Onto Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper-X (Lovingly called "Heaven and Hell").

    Week 3/Day1 - couldn't get through core synergistics this morning as I was feeling terrible - even ended up calling off work but after taking it easy all day and reading about everybody's accomplishments I felt energized enough to push play on it this evening. I'm feeling like my bananas are better in the beginning but the last couple are tough to grind out. I actually feel like I'm getting stronger so the thought of taking a week "off" for recovery next week is sort of depressing!

    Keep up the good work everyone - this thread really provides great motivation!!

    Well, did my core tonight. Definitely much, much stronger than previous times. Still didn't do the Dreya rolls. Planned on doing it, but at that point, I STILL somehow had dinner in my stomach that was refluxing.

    I actually did a few regular push-ups, too! Probably 15 total. Probably not that perfect, but perfect enough! Proud of myself for that.

    When doing the boat, and the superman/banana I kept having a 28lb toddler sitting on me and was having a hard time rolling over to the othe positions. I'd have to pick him up, set him to the side, and roll. By the time I got there, it was time to go back, and he was back to climbing on me again.

    Yes, doing P90x can be a challenge to me, in more ways than one.

    I sucked it up and did the Plyo yesterday. I just wore my knee brace and did some of the modified moves so I wasn't hopping and spinning at the same time. My knee was hurting half way through but I stuck with it. My legs are a little sore today, but I really feel it in my back. I guess I wasn't bending properly. Anyone else have that problem?
    Pretty excited to get back to Arms today, even though I'm getting quite an arm workout at work today. Hope that doesn't mess it up.

    Day 2 of Plyo killed me. Only made through 30 minutes before I couldn't get up anymore. Next week I will get through the whole thing!

    What does everyone use for their recovery drink? Do you use the P90x stuff? I am using Aftermax.

    We use a pre-workout mix call Fuzion k-akg and BSN Syntha-6 whey protein for post workout/recovery/protein.

    I did get up and do Day 1 this morning. I'm really hoping to stick with this program and see some results. I know it works because I have a few friends that look amazing after completing it.

    To others out there that have done this before - How long did it take before you started seeing pounds/inches lost? How much weight do you think I can expect to lose (I'm 5'4", 142lbs, 24% bf)?
