Hey guys/gals I found this site while searching the p90x forums and I'm excited with the exercise and food tools as well as the forums. I'm currently a physical therapist with a history of personal/strength training who is on the way back up. I'm on the way back up because I didn't heed my own warnings of sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise. We Mine Eyes have seen the Glory and praise Jesus He has motivated me beyond what I had when I was a professional baseball player. I look forward to sharing my success stories as I'm 3 weeks into P90X at this time. I'm already seeing results, but I need to be a better steward of the nutrional/supplement aspect of the routine. Thanks for a great site and I'll be getting to know (prayerfully) many of you soon.

God bless,
Angelo

    I love it, it's been one heck of a challenge. Breakdown below
    - chest/back tough especially pullups
    - plyometrics - kicked my butt, but I can hang with rest breaks
    - arms/shoulders - my easiest day because of my weight lifting background
    - yoga - KICKS MY BUTT IN THE GROUND AND WHILE UNDERGROUND. I can't do all the moves, poor flexibility with weight lifting background and poor stretching background
    - legs/back - Can hang pretty good
    - kenpo - Can hang well due my experience with taebo

    I've been struggling with the diet area, meals are a bit extravagant but I'm trying to do better. I've lost ~2-3 pounds, but can tell a difference in inches. Gotten a few compliments so I'm excited about weeks to come.

    Be blessed

    That's great! Kenpo is by far my favorite because I too have experience in Taebo and Taekwondo. Just did my Kenpo this morning as a matter of fact. Good luck on your journey!

    Thanks, I'm doing better with the diet/supplements aspect but I'm going to have to get more strict and knowledgeable about what I'm taking into my system.

    I too follow P90X and x+ and have been since December. I love it. Lately just been fooling around with all sort of BB products, but on Monday start P90X Lean (did classic first time around)

    Hang in there, it does get easier especially yoga aka blowga! You are in for a great ride; if people are already noticing and you are only in week 3, imagine after 90 days!!

    Thanks carvan, it's amazing how a few words can serve as motivation.

    Thanks again and pray I keep pushing play.

    But seriously, welcome to our "we put the fun in dysfunctional" family! :bigsmile: There are a scant few of us Y chromosome carriers about, but it's to our advantage! ...just don't look in the Pit, right Shannon? :noway:
    So I have two questions;
    1. what is p90x?
    2. What team did you play for?

    Hey jamerz, I'm sure Ezzie isn't looking at me at least not during the first 90 days :laugh:

    p90x is a 90 day extreme fitness program designed to increase strength, mobility, lose weight/body fat without allowing the body to adapt or plateau. The routine changes every 30 days to prevent this from happening. As for baseball, I played in the Montreal Expos (I know they don't exist anymore it was 1993-94) organization. I miss it tremendously, especially since I blew a perfect opportunity. Well, it wasn't worth my soul, so I'm content with where I am now. Thanks for dropping in bro, good to see another y chromosome LOL.

    Heck yeah it is. Sometimes it feels like it's just Banks, Cal, Grey and I around here, and we're in the episode of Futurama where all the men were sentenced to death by Snoo Snoo...
