I was wondering if there was an x thread in here. Glad i found y'all. I've had it for a while and was supposed to start in Jan, but will definitely start monday with you all. I need the accountability. Does anyone want an accountability partner?

I'm all about accountability. I need it too.

finished up legs and ab ripper this morning - those wall squats do me in! Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow and then getting into week 3. I'm also going to weigh in tomorrow and see if I need to add more cardio to lose at least .5-1 lb. a week.

I'm super pumped to start this tomorrow! I have to be lame and do modified moves for anything that needs the pull-up bar.. as mine is on it's way in the mail! .. ah well.

I'm on a 2 day 'rest' as I *ahem* have been pushing myself much to hard and have lots of symptoms of Overtraining. It's still in the early stages so I'm hoping 2 days of doing nothing will leave me OK to start tomorrow - we'll see! I'm going to try.

I do yoga x with a friend and find it a lot less boring. We talk while doing most of it. I realize that we aren't focusing on it as well as we could if we weren't talking, but at least we get through it. I find that the last half goes quicker in general. So if I can just get myself to do the first few minutes of the second half, I automatically do the rest.

See if you can convince a friend to do yoga with you. Trust me it will be less boring.

Ok, I took my "before" pictures yesterday. My profile pic is one of them. I also did measurements and weighed in this morning. Feeling good about it.
I'm starting today due to physical therapy tomorrow, but will be back on board with everyone Tues. I think I'm going to do a hybrid of the Lean and Classic to see what my knee can handle. I know for a fact all that Plyo jumping is not kosher right now. Maybe by Phase 2...I'm hoping that is the only day I have to switch up. Still not looking forward to Yoga.

Since this thread is really long is there any thought to starting a new one for Phase 1? Just a thought. Either way, I'll post.
Bring it!

T minus 24 hours until P90X for me.
This is going to be challenging though ... trying to do this and get ready for the half marathon in another 6 weeks and 10 weeks.
I am going to do it when I can ... but not totally stress over it either.

My husband and I spent January going through all the DVDs to familiarize ourselves with them. We started January 31st and have completed Week 4. I have gone from not being able to do any pull-ups to doing 2. Can't wait until the end of the program to see the improvement.

Wow -- how did you work on progressing? My husband finally put up the pullup bar (after he stopped laughing)... I want so badly to prove him wrong...

Nice job! I could only do 3/4 of a pullup in the Fit Test, so I'm looking forward to seeing results.
I think I'm going to start blogging my results (start, phase 1, 2 and 3 to end).
How many people are using HRM's for this? I only burned around 275 cals today with Chest & Back, Ab Ripper. I was expecting more...

Hey tomorrow is my 5th week doing the lean version.Lost a total of 5 in and 5 lb in the first 28 days. I really didnt do so good in the eating part. I dont have the meal plan since my brother lend me the dvds and he lost them. I also havent made the best choices. So ill just have to bring it as much as I can.

Good luck to those who are starting tomorrow!

I was actually just researching how to go about building up to doing pullups and there are quite a few methods (without going to the gym) to build up to doing proper pullups, If you have a spotter that is one option.. but if you're like me and would much rather struggle through it without someone else (ie: your laughing husband) watching then starting out doing supine pullups is a great option.

My kitchen table is heavy and strong with a large ledge, and I'm fairly smallish so I'll be doing supine pullups with my legs under the table, feet on the floor for a while. I just tested it out and it's fully doable, the table didn't even creak! .. So that is an option to think about if your muscles flat out refuse to allow you to use the pullup bar yet.

Edit: link to youtube video showing an example of a man doing supine pullups (with a proper bar.. but still)

Good luck to everyone starting today!!

blueviolet20

Yay! Just did Day 1: Chest and Back w/ Ab Ripper X! Used a HRM, and burned 450 calories doing it too! Awesome...I'm pretty darn excited.

How is everyone counting the calories from the workouts? I don't have a HRM. How many calories are you eating while doing this?

I am done lurking on this thread. Today is the first day of the second week of P90X lean for me (Core Synergistics). I already feel stronger and am excited to see the positive changes in my body. Down over 2 pounds since my fit test and feel great!

Quick question for those that are using an HRM, are you discounting the calorie burn on the strength training and yoga routines? I had some unbelievable burn numbers in my first week and they really appeared too good to be true (i.e. over 1200 in Yoga-X, over 1300 in Legs, Back, ABRX). I have discounted those calories by about 1/3 (only logged 2/3 of the burn). I am afraid of overeating and derailing progress.

Any one in the same boat as me on this?

Thanks.

Today I will be starting my 2nd week of P90x. It would have been my 3rd week but I was under the weather last week, so now it's time to get back on track. Good luck to everyone.

lindajay3

good luck to all who are starting today!

I'm on the rest day of week 2 - I plan to do some cardio and see if I have time for stretch x. Lost 2 lbs. last week doing the lean version so I might try to up my calories this week; I didn't want to lose much weekly.

You need a heart rate monitor. Even if you get an inexpensive one for now. I still have my Sportline hrm from Walmart that I got for under $30. I'll upgrade eventually to the Polar, but the Sportline has done a great job.

Well today kicked off ROUND FOUR. I didn't feel revved up this morning when we first started, since I knew I would have to drop down and start with Standard Push-ups. But it ended up being a solid workout. I'm definitely getting stronger and I'm knocking out as many push-ups as Marin in the DVD.

I started Round 5 a week ago. I have a custom schedule but should be at least as hard as P90X Classic. First phase for me is, like this.

1on1 Chest Back & Balls
1on1 Plyo Legs
1on1 Just Arms ARX
1on1 Diamond Delts ARX
Running 6 Miles
Rest
Yoga

Second Phase is
Chest Shoulders Triceps
Plyo X
Back & Biceps
Rest
1on1 Back & Belly
Running 6 Miles
Yoga

Havent made the final decision on what Phase 3 will be for me. But I have almost 60 days to figure it out.

Good Luck to everyone that starts today. I am on Day 2 of my 2nd week. I feel awesome!

No HRM here, either. I'm adding 300 calories (instead of the 600 p90x says) right now to see how it goes. First week lost .5 lb., this week lost 2 lbs. so I'm thinking I may add some calories. I'd rather lose around a pound a week.

Good luck to everybody starting today. Don't let it scare you! You can totally do it! Today was day 19 for me, legs & back and ab ripper. I was still tired from a busy busy weekend, but managed to push hard and get some serious work in. Now for a nice bath. ;0)

ddavies919

Hello everyone!!! Today's the day and I've been eating my food, getting fueled up! I wish I could've pushed play this morning but I'm waiting until my fiance gets home because he's doing it with me and I want to support and motivate him as much as I can so whenever he wants to do it is when I'll do it! Although, you have no idea how bad I want to start!!!! Aaahhhh!!!!

Everyone is doing great! Love to see the energy! I've posted my day 1 pics in my profile to hold myself accountable to myself and to everyone here! I am determined this round! So, feel free to check them out! They're the last 3 in my album.

Keep up the amazing work and keep pushing play! I'll be back later to check in!

I started on the 18th, so today is day 11 for me. I've been doing the Classic version and lost 2 lbs the first week, have since put 1 back on, but my thought is that it is a muscle gain. Tonight is supposed to be Yoga, but the first time I couldnt' even bare to stick with it for 5 minutes so I gave up. My plan is to swap Cardio in for Yoga.

I bought a HRM and started using it at the beginning of week 2. My calories burned according to the HRM so far have been astronomical (1000 for Chest & Back w/ AbX, 1200 for Plyo, and 950 for Shoulders & Arms w/AbX) so I've been estimating about 65% to be the actual number. Does that sound about right? That makes my calories burned 650, 780, and 600 respectively. I'm a male with current weight of 205lbs.
