    Decided to go for a run tonight instead of cardio workout - 42 mins running 5.5 miles (i'm a new runner) 679cals burnt!

    AWESOME run! I decided to run instead of plyo, too. Feels good to throw the ipod on, watch some HGTV, and zone out while burning calories :)

    agreed! and it feels amazing to be ABLE to do a run aswell as P90x back when i did the shred i wasnt fit enough to throw in a run, so is lovely to loose yourself in the pounding feet!

    P90X Day 30 complete - Treadmill instead of Plyometrics tonight
    Duration: 01:38:44
    Calories: 1055
    Fat Burn: 00:14:06
    Fitness: 01;23:45
    Average HR: 126
    Maximum HR: 140

    I decided to do a long fast walk on the treadmill tonight instead of Plyometrics.

    The tendon on my left ankle was a little sore this last week and I didn't think all that jumping in Plyo would be a good idea.

    I have flat feet and this weekend I decided to buy one of those Dr. Scholl's orthodic inserts for my shoes. Walmart has one of those computer kiosks that you step on to determine which insert is correct for your feet. Boy, did that make a HUGE difference. I never realized how tired and sore my feet were getting with all this walking and jumping. This inserts make me feel that I can walk forever and never get tired. It only took a couple days of using them for my ankle to nearly stop bothering me and for my feet to feel great!

    Nice work guys ;)
    Great to see committed X'ers. Phase 2 is going to work on endurance - feeling weak after all those pushups?
    Don't be too critical on your apparent lack of progress. Have a friend (better yet, a stranger) compare your before and after pics. They are much more perceptive about progress. Everybody has SOMETHING about their body they want to change, and often can't see past that to their progress.
    Your guys' number look awesome though
    Bring it!
    You could be a Spartan/Amazonian Warrior for Halloween :)

    Hhhmm Chest, Shoulder, Triceps is a big fat drag. Too many gimmicks. I mean you already have to be fit to be able to do the weird exercises. Sorry , One handed push ups. Give me a break There were 5 exercises I didnt even try. thats redilulous. Tony that is not the best workout.
    Now the one I did yesterday, back and biceps was pretty demanding and had some serious calorie burn.

    This is my 3rd round of P90X and I still skip the one handed push ups. When I come to an exercise that I think is too hard or takes more coordination than I have I just do a different exercise that I can do. When they get to one handed push ups, I just do regular push ups instead.

    Day 31 done yesterday! Chest, shoulders and triceps and like VBtim180 & ljd0693 I found this one a little ridiculous!! 1 handed push ups, clapping push ups, and the pike press like really? I tried to do the 1 handed push ups and couldn’t do it and fell knocked all the wind out of me lol. I did finally get the scale to move today only 1 pound but since I’m practically in my goal weight,

    Yah, I forgot about Pikes Press lol. WHEN I do this routine again I will be just doing regular push ups. I can bust out some regular and wide push ups . military are a little bit difficult though. day 32 done .

    It was hard talking myself into exercising tonight but since I went way over my calories tonight I took a nap and then a little Jack 3D to give me the energy to do it. I needed to burn off those 632 calories!

    Well I have found my new favorite excerise. I LOVE Back & Biceps! The corn cobb pull ups were very interesting! I think I like this workout more because I still can't do regular pull ups, so I have to use a chair, lol. If I were doing them for real I'm sure this wouldn't be my favorite workout anymore. I also agree that Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps was a little demanding. I managed to do the clap push ups in girl mode, but I looked like I had shallowed a jelly fish when I saw Tony do the plyo version of that where he was clapping his hands and feet together! O.O

    Day 32 done! Pylometrics I still find this one very hard my stamina is definetly getting better but it's still challenging enough where I get a good calorie burn and drenched in sweat at the end.

    Week 5's Yoga done, and I kicked butt this time. Although I can't do warrior 3's moves I nailed the rest pretty much. Finally was able to do crane too. Although I did fall on my face at the end which really hurt.

    Going to finally start the phase 1 diet on Monday. While I have greatly increased my strength and endurance, I'm not losing fat at all. The scale isn't moving. Hoping I can change that this coming week.
