New round of P90X starts Feb 28th! Join me!

michelegrayson

Ok, I finally got my P90X DVDs and I'm ready to go this morning. I am starting the Leanprogram for the first time ever and I was a bit intimidated by watching the Core Syn DVD last night. However, all of your posts have inspired me to just "push play" and not to fear the pain!

I'll let you know how it goes!

Did Kenpo this morning. This basically finishes my week 1 of Classic, although I do plan to stretch tomorrow. I like to do the stretch if I'm sore when it comes around and I have been very sore all week so I know I need it!

Good job all, keep it up!

I'm in the first week of phase 2 of Lean and did the Shoulder, Arms, Chest, and abs workout for the first time. Let me just say, that workout totally wiped me out. I was tired really early, and didn't want to get out of bed this morning. Just wanted to sleep more. I was exhausted, but have a kid to take care of, so had to get up.

Suppose to do Yoga today. I'm so sore from yesterday, not sure how that's going to work out.

I think that's about the only thing that changes for phase 2, the chest workout rather than just shoulders and arms.

Yoga X is history for today. I actually made myself get up at 4:30am to do it. Unfortunately both boys woke up then as well, but were content watching cartoons in the other room. I made it through, and can definitely see the benefit in it. However, 90 minutes was a long time, and I didn't really enjoy it. Anyone out there get major benefit from it, or recommend something to do in it's place?

I just did mine. The whole time I think "is it almost over yet?".

My kid was weaving in and out between my limbs when I was in downward dog, then he kept turning the workout off on me. Yeah, the trials I have to go through to get a workout.

Today was Plyo for me. I went through the whole workout and finished thinking: well that wasn`t so bad. Then I went shopping and my legs felt like jell-o. On the bright side I did find the door attachment for the bands. Note to self: do not go shopping after P90x.

The package I bought said that it should include 2 bonus workouts, but i can`t find them. Are they on separate disk or included on one of the 12 regular disk??? Maybe they are just missing????

Week 4, Day 2: Core Synergistics. DONE...so, week four is a rest week...not. A recovery week?...recovery from the realization that the last three weeks have only been a precursor to more P90X hell. I seriously thought that this would be a "slightly" easier week. How wrong I was! At one point I was on my hands and knees, sweat dripping off my face and panting for breath when Tony asks "Are you ready for the bonus round?" Yeah, I brought it. Even the bonus round!
Keep pushing play....I swear, someday it will get easier.

I have officially made it to Phase 2!!! Week 5 Day 1 is a new workout. I loved it! Chest, Shoulders & Triceps. I can feel it everywhere above my waist. And then I did all 349 moves of Ab Ripper X for the first time ever to throw the waist in too (with many breaks and a lot of panting for air). Thanks for the inspiration reepobob. It hurts, but I TOTALLY brought it today. Keep up the great work everyone.

Hey everyone! Well, my fiance was stuck in traffic for over an hour, so being that we didn't want to eat at 9pm tonight, we did Stretch 40 from Turbo Fire instead of yoga x and wow!!!! What a good stretch!!!! Tomorrow is legs & back and ARX and I'm looking forward to working the legs!

annyshay: way to go girl!!! Nice job on ARX! Keep it up!

kimmi: your post made me laugh at the end......lol......yes, it does get easier! It just has to! It's absolutely amazing what your body is capable of doing and then some! Bring it!

soccermum: way to go on plyo! It is the mother!!!!! And I totally know what you mean about your legs feeling like jello! But, good job! And yes, you should've received 2 bonus DVD's from Tony's One on One series. If you don't have them, you can call Beachbody customer service at 800-470-7870; they will definately be able to help out!

Dara: Glad to see you bringing it girl! Good job! I was actually looking forward to yoga today as I am incredibly sore! lol

Stay focused everyone! You're all doing fantastic at pushing that play button! Love to see your energy and read your posts every day! Keep up the good work!

Deb! Did u see my 30 day pics I put up today?! Lost a total of 5 inches throughout my entire body, and lost 6.4 lbs! !!! N

emmaleigh47

I did it! I made it through the entire Arms and Shoulders DVD ... OMG my arms are soo sore right now.
I still cant do tricep dips at all, but I did suprise myself at the end.
When they showed the one arm tricep raises I looked and said "no way I can do this" ... and the first round I could only eek out 3 of them. Second round I really concetrated and I got out 8 on each side.... with straight arm! I am psyched!

Dara: I did see your pics! Awesome job girl! You look great anyway, but those are some great results! I can't wait to see your 90 day pics! Keep up the good work!

Emma: Way to go!!!! So proud of you! For some reason, I don't feel anything on those side tri rises, so I just do tricep kickbacks and overhead triceps; I don't know why, I never have. But, you've inspired me! Maybe I'll try better next time. Nice job!

Yesterday I took a break. Too exhausted and busy. But I had also been working out hard since Sunday. Today I'm going to do Legs and Back, Ab Ripper, and throw in the Chest exercises I skipped on Monday. No sense in doubling the pullups. Should be a good afternoon.
Tomorrow I'm subbing TaeBo for Kenpo to see what my burn is instead. Not sure about Sunday. Might try Yoga a 3rd time...

Substituted Cardio X for Yoga this morning, and my lovely wife joined me for it. I'm so proud of her. It's nice having a little eye candy during the workouts too. :bigsmile: Burned about 552 calories.

Rest week next week, and then on to Phase 3!

Oh yeah, down an extra two pounds this morning! Switching to morning workouts has jumpstarted my weight-loss again.

My kid was weaving in and out between my limbs when I was in downward dog, then he kept turning the workout off on me. Yeah, the trials I have to go through to get a workout.

Me too. I think I made it 10 minutes (thinking I had done 30) and checked the timer... Are you kidding me ?!?!

How old is your kid? My almost-3-year-old likes to pat my tummy while I'm trying to do ab exercises... not fun, especially when 1year old brother decides to help too. I also had to give up kettlebells because I was afraid of smacking him in the face with a 10lb piece of steel all the time!

This morning both boys wanted some cuddle time, so I'm going to do my Legs/Back/ARX tonight. Gotta love kids

blueviolet20

Whoo! Just did Legs and Back with Ab Ripper X....burned 958 calories?! What?! We'll see how accurate that is. Oh well, it was tough! I missed Yoga X yesterday, so I need to make that up today...I might do Cardio X instead though...Yoga X is just so....long. Oh well...down 1.2 pounds and about 5 inches overall. Whoop!

Hi everyone. Am I too late to join in here? I am in week 5 of my first round of p90x. Today is Kenpo x .....not my fav. workout. Anyone know how many calories burned while doing this one? I am also trying to find my right calorie amount, I am breastfeeding so I cant gauge calories I need to work out and breastfeed to lose weight. Anyway I hope that I am not too late to join in

He's 19 months and a handful.

PS. I have to tell you that P90X kitty makes me laugh every single day!

I'm copying and pasting a response I just gave to someone else:

"Someone your exact same height, weight, age, etc could do the exact same workout as you for the same time period...guess what? Both of you are going to have totally different caloric burns. How hard are you working out that day?

My caloric burns for the same workout can vary as much as 100 calories from week to week. If I were to log P90X under "Circuit Training" like so many people do, I'd be off by 200 - 400 calories per workout...that's almost an entire meal!

So, save yourself a lot of headache, and get a HRM to know what YOU are burning."

That's not unheard of. I've burned over 1000 calories twice while doing P90X.

I just burned 725 doing Legs, Back, and Abs tonight. That was a record burn for that, I think. Still had trouble doing the abs because they are trying to recover from the Chest and Yoga workouts, but I DID actually do about 10 mason twists in a row with my feet in the air. I was proud of that, since before every single one was with my heels on the ground. I'm proud of that.

Day 5, Legs & Back & ARX is in the books!!! Feeling good! Wish I was ending week 2 but oh well, I’m feeling much better after that cold I had so I’m glad I didn’t push it.

Lizard: Keep up the good work! Let me know if you burn more doing TaeBo than Kenpo.

Adam: Woo hoo! Glad to hear your wife joined you! Isn’t it nice to have a workout partner?! Victor, my fiancé, is doing great!!! His energy is up and I can just tell he feels better! I’m soooo proud of him! Congrats on the weight loss! Nice job!

Blueviolet: Dang!!!! I doubt I burned that much during L&B! Nice job! I was however sweating bullets! How do you like those wall squats?! Killer!!!! Congrats on the weight loss and inches, that’s fantastic!

Rjb: Nope! Never too late to join in! Welcome! Wow, week 5! Bring it! Have you looked over the guide book thouroughly to figure out your intake/outtake?

Onawhymm: Here’s some motivation……….BRING IT!!!! You can do it, just push play! Have a great workout!

Nice work everyone! Way to bring it! Love to hear all the daily stories and it’s kind of nice that we’re not all doing the exact same thing so it keeps it different! Have a fantastic weekend and I’ll see you tomorrow after my Kenpo!

I can't believe I only just found the thread! I am doing P90x classic, with ocasional doubles since I sometimes cycle 25 miles a day to get work and back. Today was day 8 Plyo, this is my first round. I hate Ab Ripper

annyshay

Plyo X, oh how I have missed thee. Nothing else gets me so beet red in the face. :0)

dyiaane

Did shoulders and arms, ab ripper, and 45 minutes of Yoga today. I was going to do yoga tomorrow but didn't feel like spending all that time on my Saturday since I'm not the biggest fan. So skipped around to the parts I thought were worth doing. Now I can do cardio tomorrow!!! Way more burn. Weighed in today lost 2.5 lbs. 5 more to go.

MAK_01

I just found this thread. Today I completed day 46 of the classic program (legs & back). I'm still struggling with arx. But I still try it every other day. Love Kempo struggle with yoga. But I do try. Biggest obstacle has been Tuesday's. Get home do plyo then run out for my bowling league. And by the third game I'm totally exhausted.
