p90x - Round 1 beginners

markymark39

So I just returned from my visit to my Sports Nutritionist...results thru (almost) week 5 show a 15 lb. loss. Some other measurements (waist, hips) were taken by the fitness center close to when I started so I will be curious to see those when I am done around day 90.

Keep pressin' play!

Wow...the results here are inspirational! I just started P90X last week, and was only able to complete about half of each workout. I'll get there, but I've got a long road ahead of me! How are you tracking calories burned?

i use a heart rate monitor!!! I just got it about 3 months ago, and I absolutely love it!!!

Finished legs/back! This was the first time I did it all the way through...last time I did about half to save some time, but I'm glad I pushed myself through the whole thing! Loving the recovery drink afterwards!

I'm going to buy a heart rate monitor with my next paycheck...I alredy have a Garmin GPS watch with HRM capabilities...now I just need to strap!

chelsiburnett

Shoulder is hurting a little but I'm not one to baby. Did legs and back and ARX last night. Did Kenpo X this morning before work. ;-)
Congrats to the new comers!
And absolutely freaking awesome for those who have posted pics and stats! I'm hoping my pic at the end of next week will be something to post!! You're inspiring!

Rest day for me today, though I will probably do Just Dance 2 with my girlies. Cannot believe that I'm starting week 6 tomorrow! The weeks are just flying by! It seems that each workout is getting easier and easier though the "real pull-up" still escapes me. :grumble:

Did Interval X from P90x+ tonight instead of Yoga and I really enjoyed it. I found it about the same impact and calore burn as Pylo but in a 45min package. Fun watching my heart rate drop from over 160 to under 120 during the cooldown. Looking forward to the Kenpo from P90x+ on Tuesday now!

I fancy purchasing some of the one to one cardios that Tony has done, particularly the ones labels MC2 for the final 30 days of my first cycle. I want to keep my intensitiy up and get a head start on P90x 2. Anybody tried any of the MC2 one to ones yet?

BananaBee3

Hi-yah! Kenpo X is done for the day! I can't believe I'm already at the end of week 2! It feels great and I'm actually looking forward to chest/back tomorrow to see if I can pump out a few more extra pushups.

Might sneak in some StretchX tonight since I didn't do it on my rest day Friday.

I would just like to annouce that I can do 2-3 pull-ups and chin-ups now! :bigsmile: When I did the fit test I couldn't even do a full pull up! I'm excited to show my boyfriend haha

I sooo enjoyed using my new weights that I got for mother's day for Chest shoulders triceps!!! I had VAST improvement with ab ripper x, made it through the whole thing, no breaks, not ONE missed rep!! YAY!! It wasn't pretty... :embarassed:

That's great! I can do all of ARX except for the bike and reverse bike, my legs just won't cooperate the whole time, mostly my thighs, they just burn.

I ate out Friday (Culvers), Saturday (Chipotle) and Sunday (Bubba Gump's) but tried to pick a heathier food option and I ended up staying close to my daily nutritional goals anyways. But I still feel like I cheated. Made up for it today with the 5k walk this morning for the Walk for the Cure and a good P90X workout this afternoon. I've noticed I'm not hitting the pause button really anymore, so my endurance has really picked up. I'm not nearly as wiped out afterwards either. I love the strength workouts, pumping iron is a good time for me.

Good start to week six!

BananaBee3

mbeach1977: Great job! I still can't keep up with the dvd, let alone do 25 reps of each exercise...but I'll be back at it tonight when I do ARX.

chelios: We all slip up sometimes and at least you aimed for picking healthier choices. Sometimes that's hard enough as it is. Congrats on the improved endurance

Completed DAY 1 of WEEK 3 this morning! Week 3 already! Wow! It feels great though Going to do ARX tonight.

First day of recovery today and did Yoga this morning. I got it over with and then went back to bed for an hour before my son was up. That was a nice reward for finishing it. I'm not excited about 2 days of Yoga on recovery week. Guess I'll be doing measurements at the end of this week but will NOT be posting picture lol. I'm not sure my measurements will even be down. That's ok though I feel good anyway.

Week 4, Day 1 complete. Didn't make it up this morning for my usual 6am workout, but had my morning open up with a cancelled meeting so I took an early lunch and punched out Chest Shoulders Tris. Supplemented my weekend workout with a bunch of yard work and a nice bike ride. Cheated a bit for Mother's Day dinner but I figure you have to treat yourself occasionally.

How goes it out there?

smurfguru

Week 4 day 1 for me. Shoulder is still wonky. Made through half of the yoga DVD before it really started to tweak the shoulder. :-/
I'll just baby it a little more.
