    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 .

    P90X Day 33 complete - Kenpo (instead of Yoga)
    Duration: 01:02:45
    Calories: 632
    Fat Burn: 00:19:30
    Fitness: 00:43:15
    Average HR: 122
    Maximum HR: 164

    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.

    Even with my kids grown it's still hard to find time to exercise so I understand. Just keep up the running when you can and throw in some P90X routines on the weekend if you get the chance. Every little bit helps.

    Completed my 90 days of P90X doubles in June. I just wanted to tone up for my outdoor activities; rock climbing, skiing etc. Started at 190 pounds. Last I weigh was 158.3 lbs. When the workouts get tough, dont get disappointed. Keep it up and dont quit. The program does work. You just have to commit to it. I travel a lot for work so I converted all my CD's to AVI so I can play them on my Laptop when I am at the hotel. I put in about 2 hours a day no matter how busy I am. For those of you that are thinking of throwing in the towel, hang in there guys. Just do it and track your workouts through wowwy at beachbody.com

    The tendon in my foot is almost healed so didn't want to take a chance doing all the jumping in Plyometrics. I can hike and walk without hurting the tendon, but all that side to side jumping/landing in Plyo aggravates it.

    Day 34 done!! did Cardio X instead of Yoga X I've noticed I have been slacking and taking extra restdays when its yoga day. Maybe because that dvd is a eternity and sometimes I don't have the time so me and the hubby made the executive decision so we don't to lose the momentum were not going to force it on us and do either cardio x or core or x stretch if I don't have the time. I would like to stick to what tony has but not if It's costing me motivation plus I'm a fan of working harder not longer lol.

    I had the same problem with doing Yoga X which is why I replaced it with Kenpo. I look forward to doing Kenpo so it keeps me motivated to do a workout that day. Cardio X wouldn't be a bad choice either but I don't know if I'd want to do Core in place of Yoga since Yoga usually comes between two days of having to do Ab Ripper. All that matters is that you find a reason to press play.

    When you get one of those days where you aren't feeling good then just swap that day with your Rest/Stretch day for the week or just take a day off from working out and get more rest. It doesn't matter if it takes you more than 90 days to complete the program. All that matters is that you keep going.

    I'm heading to the beach for a week starting today. I'm going to try my best to get my workouts in every day. I may end up making this week my Recovery depending on what's available in the hotel gym. I am bringing my bands just in case.

    Day 37 rest day yesterday & day 38 chest shoulders & triceps done today!! I must admit I'm finding it hard to keep the motivation but knowing I'm halfway done is making things way easier but I refuse to quit because I've already came this far and I really want to see some 90 day results.

    Can I join your thread?
    Today is day 33 for me (lean version) and i still cannot do a real set of pushups- I can belt out "girl" pushups like no body's business though. :-( i dont have a pull up bar (do with bands) but am sure i couldnt if i did have one. any suggestions or tips for building the upper body strength?

    Legs & back tonight, so am guaranteed to walk bowlegged tomorrow. Still does that to me 5 weeks in. lol.

    Havn't posted here in a few days. I think I went 36 days without a hitch and then started doing alternative exercises taking a break etc. I still post my food diary every day but I kind of hit a bump in the road on the p90exercise. The one routine I was liking , back and biceps, was skipping and sticking and just not cooperating.
    So I hit the gym a couple of times and did some of the excercises which I actually liked because of all the available dumbells.
    I have been saying that I cant do a pull up but all of the effort is starting to work. There is an assisted pull up machine at the gym that you just cant cheat on. I was using plate 14 . I used plate 8 the other day. but I cant rember the difference in pounds .
    Keep up the good work everyone.

    I'll be heading home from my vacation tomorrow. I haven't been able to do the actual P90X routines while on vacation but I have made sure that I burn at least 600 calories a day while here doing bits and pieces of the routines in combination with the hotel's gym equipment.

    I'll be able to start back doing my P90X routines in the next day or two.
