    Hello.....I am currently doing some of the discs from my P90X set....I am trying to get back into running. I havent been able to for 6mths...Its hard to fit the entire program in with a running schedule..?? I dont want to over do it. I would LOVE any advice that someone can give me on this....and since I am new to mfp....HOW do I log the exercise on here when I do one of the p90 dvds...???? I am sweatin' like crazy...I know I am burning calories....LOL...~!~ Help please...???!!!

    If I were running I would only do it on the cardio days, and do your regular strength training days.
    As far as logging the calories burned... do you have a heart rate monitor? If not I would recommend getting one. You will go to log exercise- add exercise - search(don't put anything in box) - then add exercise to database - enter whatever exercise you did that day and how many calories your HRM said you burned

    Legs and Back + Ab Ripper completed last night - I found this ok and enjoyed the fact it wasn't repeated all the time.

    However, my legs this morning weren't feeling best and it did knock my jogging pace quite a bit this morning.

    Kenpo will be done later this evening!

    Day 6, Kenpo X, Done. This workout was quite fun. This is probably the closest I'll ever get to the Karate Kid or Bruce Lee. I was suprised to see how much I sweated. Kenpo X was a great way to end Week 1 of the P90 program.

    Congratulations to my Fellow P90Xer's on "bringing it" day by day.

    Week 5 Day 1, Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Totally killer! This was definitely the hardest workout for me in this set so far, but I loved every minute of it. I'm seeing such an incredible improvement in my push-up ability. Seriously just a few months ago I couldn't do a single push-up and now I'm well into double digits on full push-ups. I've also noticed a huge change in my muscle definition, especially in my arms. I can't wait to see how I look on day 90.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    X stretch done! I need to work on my flexibility so I think I will do this every week on the off or "stretch" day. I may even add it in on the days I am super sore.

    Week 2, Day 1, Chest, back and ab ripper x comeplete! I had a little bit of trouble getting up this morning but with a little bit of self talk, I reminded myself of how great I felt last Monday so I got up and pressed play. This is probably one of the most challenging DVDs for me because I do not have much upper body strength. Thankfully, that is changing.

    HAPPY MONDAY. Seize the day!!!

    Week 2 Ladies!!!!
    Gonna get mine on this evening after work. I had a terrible time getting out of bed this morning-probably b/c of not eating very good this weekend! We went camping at the lake and my hubby surprised me with a surprise b-day party!! So lots of cake and bad stuff!!! Back on track today though!!!

    Legs & Back/ARX - DONE!!

    Thinking that I am gonna switch a couple of days on my schedule: Gonna do Kempo X on Tues. and Plyo on Sat. Kempo doesn't jump around so I don't have to worry about waking the whole house up sounding like an elephant wearing tap shoes! Plus, I really just don't feel like plyo at 5 a.m.!! I also am going to switch Yoga on Sundays, and X Stretch on Wed. just to save time.

    Congrats to Chelsi for PULL-UPS!!!

    Welcome to WEEK 2! Still doing the 30 day trial but so far I think it is challenging yet do-able. Still modifying where I need to and doing my best. Core synergistics done, and this time I added hand weights for the ones with hand weights. Can't wait for the 30 day check in!
