kandyjo

OOooooo... Sounds fun!!!! I just started p90X today, so this post totally caught my attention.... It KILLED me, but I suffered through it :laugh: I actually feel AWESOME now... just a little sore (I'm sure tomorrow and the next day will be worse, but I'm digging it!) :bigsmile:
I'm excited to be doing this with a group... How THAT MUCH MORE motivating!!! :happy:

I wish you luck. I would do it again on 4/25, but I will still be doing Insanity. I used to hate P90x, but I now have a love affair with it. On my easy, lazy days I will do one of the P90x videos to gain some muscle, yesterday I did Core Synergistics. If you haven't done it before, I warn you that you will feel sore in places you didn't know had muscles. It's a good sore, so don't get freaked out. You are welcome to message me if you have any questions about it.

I'm just finishing up my first 90 days, but have no plans of stopping!

here is my 30 day photos...actually it was only 3 weeks when i took them...im doing the classic version

kandyjo

I have a question.... Do you guys plan on using a HRM to log your calories burned? I have heard "mixed reviews" on this since we are doing a lot of "weight training" type activities... I'll admit, I'm confused...

I am on my second week but I modified it somewhat. For example where he says use dumbbells or resistance bands I use balloons, and instead of doing Yoga X I just lay down and eat a bag of pretzels. Also, the Kempo X seemed rather violent so I just use that time to arrange flowers. I may have to give that though because I think I sprained my wrist on the begonias.

I'll start it with you on Monday 4/25. Let's get motivated.

debgomes90

I'm in!!! I was planning on starting today and just saw this!!!!

kandyjo

YAY!!!! Today is the 25th!!!!

I am actually "starting again"... When I started, I started the Classic version... A friend of mine told me I should do the Lean version, because that is what she is doing and that is more of what I want... So I decided to "start again" with everyone today :drinker:

I'll let you know how it goes in a couple of hours.... Starting on Core Synergenics today...

SCFancher

Well I survived day 1!! I started the Classic version so I did arms and chest last night. Feeling good so far. I also had my husband take before pics of me...GROSS!! I really wish I would not have done that! lol.

Just keep thinking about how amazing your after pics will be :drinker: :bigsmile:

I started the classic and then decided to change and do the Lean... Missed yesterday because of school homework and baseball practice... GRrrrrrrrr.... Starting TODAY!!!! (restarting today... I already did some of the classic routine lol)

SCFancher

I also don't have an exact amount of calories burned from p90x workouts. I did some research and it says each workout is about 600 calories, so I'm just going to go with that What do you guys suggest?

I was just jumping on here to ask a question about calories burned... I don't have an HRM, but heard that for some reason, you don't get an accurate reading with P90X because of the types of exercises...

I just did Core Synergistics and let me just say... WOW!!

I am not sure how to log it though.... SUGGESTIONS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!!

SCFancher

I did Plyometrics last night and that was craziness. It was by far the hardest workout I have ever done....EVER! So glad it's only 1 day a week. hahaha

kandyjo

Just did Shoulders and Arms and I have NO IDEA HOW TO LOG IT!!! It's strength training, but it's so many different exercises... Just not sure how to log it....

lexierae

Im a couple days late but i would love to join... I ve been trying for a while and got of track but im ready to get focused again. I need to do this so any support i can get is great...

kandyjo

Welcome to the group, lexierae :drinker:

srbomb

I am about to start my 3rd round of p90x. Once you get through the first two phases the results will be enough motivation you will need!

kandyjo

:drinker: srbomb... Wow!! 3rd time!! That's encouraging to hear

I literally ran out of time yesterday to squeeze Ab Ripper X in with my Shoulders and Arms, so I'm getting it in this morning and then later this afternoon I have Cardio X .... I'm really LOVING this program.. It kicks my booty, but it's FABULOUS!! :bigsmile:

How is everyone else doing? Who all is doing the Classic and who all is doing the Lean? Is everyone still on the band wagon? It seems as though we've lost a few along the way :laugh:

AwMyLoLo

Good morning, all! I'm starting a round of P90X on Monday, May 2nd. Thanks to Kandyjo for the link to this thread :drinker:

I completed 120 days of P90X a little over a year ago, and have been doing ChaLEAN Extreme for the past 8 months. In addition to that, I hit up the gym on my lunchbreak for a half hour of cardio 3-4 times per week. I've been trying hard to get better at running, but have been slipping backwards in my progress, so I decided to follow the Couch to 5K program (Starting with Week 3). I'll be doing C25K on the treadmill on my lunchbreak. So, my plan for this round of P90X is a kind of a mix between all 3 versions - Lean, Doubles, & Classic :laugh:

Monday: C25K, Core Synergistics
Tuesday: PlyoX
Wednesday: C25K, ARX, Shoulders & Arms
Thursday: 30 minute elliptical, YogaX
Friday: C25K, ARX, Legs & Back
Saturday: 1 hour of cardio - either a jog/walk or KenpoX
Sunday: REST :sick:

I feel like I've gained some solid strength from doing ChaLEAN Extreme so I'm hoping I will be able to BRING IT a lot more in this round of P90X. I plan on lifting heavy on upper-body days, aiming for 8-10 reps rather than 10-12. Also this time I promise to complete YogaX every time. I've been doing Rodney Yee's yoga consistently since my last round of P90X so I don't think I'll dread the 90 minutes so much now.

I'm going to follow the recommended ratios from the nutrition guide and stick to 1800 calories per day. I'm really going to focus on this and I hope to lose about 8 pounds and get ripped by mid-summer!

Keep up the good work, everyone! I look forward to checking in here!
