Sweettart: I found you! You know I am doing P90X with alittle other stuff but I would be glad to post workouts with you daily. Together we can keep each other motivated and succeed in our journey!!

Tomorrow I am scheduled for P90X Chest & Back and Ab Ripper with extra ab work using the slings on the pull-up bar and my ab tower.

As we have talked recently, I have full faith that you will do good. You just need to schedule your workouts and push play every day. Make sure nothing comes between you and your workouts and before you know it, you will look AWESOME! Also watch what you eat and eat clean and healthy.

I am with you as long as you want me there!

Good luck! I just finished day 90 yesterday. 32lbs. I'm going to keep going with the program for another 90 days.

Hey Jenn! Just finished my workout! I did ARX, ab slings, ab tower, ab work on ball and then Chest & Back! I had an AWESOME workout! And left it ALL on the floor!!! I did pretty awesome and was able to add 2 more unassisted closed grip pull-ups and wide front pull-ups! That makes 8 unassisted per Round on those two and I am still whipping out the 16 unassisted chin-ups per round! (there are 2 Rounds) My arms are complete toast now! Funny cause I was flexing in front of the mirror and muscles were popping bigger than last week!!! That makes me feel good.

Tomorrow I am doing Tony's 1 on 1 Plyo Legs! That is a really tough leg workout!

Hope you all had a great workout today!

Hey Tena,

Well Im not finished day 2!!! Today was my first day of Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100. I like to watch my videos before I do them and I have to admit Sweat 1-2 is a lot harder then it looks, I was sweating!!!
I am so excited to keep going!!
I am down 3.8lbs since yesterday even with the 3 fudge covered oreos I had last night!!!!!
Im glad we are both here to keep on each other!! I can't wait till Im done P90 and move on to P90X!!!

LOL thank you Tena, I know oreos are the death of me! I do have some good news I went shopping today for a new shirt for my bf's bday this weekend and Im a size smaller or two can't remember has been awhile since I"ve been shopping for dress clothes! And the shirt actually has the middle of my back showing, Im not 100% comfortable to wear it but im going to, its not that bad but I hate my back fat!!! If I could change 1 body part that would be it!!!
My workout was great this morning, thanks for asking.

Is Power 90 the same as P90X?

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! Tonight I did Tony's 1 on 1 Plyo Legs! WOW ! It was an AWESOME workout! My legs were tingling when I was done! That is such a great workout!

Jenn: Way to go on your workout this morning! You are doing great! Keep up the good work! Remember it takes time for change. Which workout did you do this morning?

trf: Power 90 is the first workout program recommended for people who haven't worked out. P90X is more intense and very hard. Then you can add P90X+ and 1 on 1 workouts.

Tena

jessmomof3

Is Power 90 the same as P90X?

Nope, Power 90 is more of a starter program. It's still a good program, but P90X takes it to the next level w/ pullups and more of a variety! HTH and ask if you have any questions!

Jess

Sweettart

Thanks for the comments, that is what keeps me motivated!!

Tena: Great job on the workout today,I love the tingling feeling after a good workout you know you did the job!
Today I did Sweat 1-2 and honestly it looks easier then it is...I was sweating!!!
Tonight I also did the treadmill and my bf's for 35mins at a 3.5 pace while watching the biggest loser.
I feel great!

tenaarnett

Jenn: Wow! You did excellent on your workout yesterday! What is on the agenda for today???

Tonight I have Ab Ripper with alot of extra abs and Shoulders & Arms. I cannot wait! I really love Shoulders & Arms and the burn you get! When I am done, I can barely lift my arms or type to post! But is a great feeling!

Well, gotta get back to work. Just got back from lunch!

Tena: I was curious instead of adding my workouts on WOWY should I just log in before I do my workout?

jessmomof3

Tena: I was curious instead of adding my workouts on WOWY should I just log in before I do my workout?

Yep, just log in your workouts before you get started! Add me to your buddies, I'm Jessmomof3 at BB also!

tenaarnett

Jenn: Sundays is always my Rest day. On Sundays I go into WOWY and schedule my works for every day the next week. Now that is because I have a set schedule and workout at 6pm every night. If you vary your workout times, you can decide each day when to set it or just log in and workout without setting it. It is up to you. Almost time to go home and push play! YEAH!!!

Edie, my best friend and neighbor, has a nice bowflex we want to start. Is that anything like a Power 90? I could look it up but more fun to chat here:) denise:laugh: :bigsmile:

I've been doing P90X for about 5 weeks... haven't really lost any weight but am beginning to tone up. Do you use a HRM? I just started with a new one with the chest strap and it says my calorie burn is alot less than the old one. What's your typical calorie burn for approx. 1 hr session?

515TeachNRun

Mrs. Alex: welcome. I usually post on the Starting P90X thread. HR really vary with each person and exercise and day. I looked back through my exercise log, though, and I tend to burn 250-300 per strength DVD and between 350-400 on the cardio dvds.

I'm 38 (39 next week!), 5 '4" and around 132, to put things in perspective.

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! Just finished my workout! It seems to get longer and longer cause I keep adding more abs workouts. I did Ab Ripper, Ab slings, Ab Tower and ab work on the ball. It was awesome and I really felt the burn. I also did my favorite weight exercise, Shoulders & Arms! I just love that workout and the burn you get in your arms and shoulders! It is AWESOME! Tomorrow I am doing Tony's Yoga workout called Ho'Ala ke Kino and the Fat Burning Express workout. My coach changed things around the Round (Round 6) to mix things up. So we have some P90, P90X, P90X+ and 1 on 1 workouts mixed in with the classic weights remaining the same from P90X.

MrsAlex: 515 is right. Everyone has a different calorie burn. I have a super high calorie burn. For example tonight in Shoulders & Arms, I burned 430 calories. I average 400 to 500 on weighted workouts and on cardio, in the 500's. But that is me. I have the chest strap one too and just love it. I tried the watch type and it just did not work as effective for me.

Since we are being honest, I am 5'9" and weight 140. My body has stayed at the same weight now for about 6 months. I am leaner and have alot more muscle but less fat.

Well, I hope everyone has a great evening.

I do not use a HRM but have been thinking about getting one. I just add in my exercise in here and I use that. I know everything isn't 100% on here so I use it as a guide and it's helping!!

Tena: I have good and bad news for you. I'm going to tell you the good news first. I did drink 10 glasses of water today, worked out this morning (which you already know) stayed under all my servings BUT I did have McDonalds for dinner :frown: I know its only an excuse and I can say no but its my bf hes a fast food and junk lover and its hard for me! I have talked to him and he is supportive but hes not at the same time so Im pretty much doing this on my own, well with this site helping me too!!
I would not have eaten it if it would have put me over and I used to beat myself up when I would eat that stuff but I don't anymore no reason to kick myself for what is already done just get right back on it not that I fell off too bad!
OK my confession is done now, time for bed gotta workout at 630am!

Jenn

Jenn: Don't beat yourself up over the McDonalds... It is hard when you first start to adjust to the changes. I have been clean eating since August 2007. Now I allow myself 1 cheat meal per month. But believe it or not, when I cheat that one time a month, I am miserable and pretty sick to my stomach for a couple days.

The way my mindset is now, I workout daily and workout hard, why would I defeat the purpose of working out for a chocolate or cookie or junk food. To me, it is just not worth it. It took me awhile to get that mindset but now that is how I am. My hubby does not eat totally healthy. When he has junkfood, I just ignore it and make my own food. I even keep chocolate and candy in the house for the grandkids and NEVER touch it. With how hard P90X is, I want it to mean something to me and I want to see results.

It will come with time for you too. I will email you with alittle strategies I used...

Have a great nights sleep and great workout tomorrow. Tomorrow is a new day....

Thanks for the replies, ladies........

Yes, my HRM with the strap seems to be more accurate than my old wrist type. I was getting false readings up in the 700 & 800 range. Now, with the strap, its like 300 to 400 range. I trust that is more true....

I'm 57 and am fighting the "old age" middle & thighs. In Sept 07 I got up to 125 so I hit the gym. By Dec. I had lost 10 lbs. Kept it off and July 08 was weighing 108. Felt really toned! Quit smoking and immediately gained 10 lbs. So I started P90X 5 weeks ago. Now I'm down to 113 and still fighting! Since I'm so short (only 5' with shoes) every 5 lbs on me is like 10 lbs on someone else....

I have to make myself eat. Having trouble eating enought protein. My weakness seems to be potato chips and cookies!

I love this site - it keeps me motivated!

Enjoy your holidays....

515TeachNRun

Teena: I would be interested in some of your strategies too. I do not eat clean, but I do eat healthy, balanced meals. I typically consume 1400-1500 calories a day (my flat daily calories, plus most exercise). I am stuck at this weight!!! I would prefer to be between 122-125 lbs. but my body seems to like it here around 132. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or how much or little I workout, here is where I stay. I've been trying hard since Sept. and only lost 2 pounds :explode:

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! I had a really GREAT workout with Yoga Ho'Ala ke Kino and P90 Fat Burning Express. On the Yoga workout I burned 159 calories and on FBE I burned 343 calories. At first I thought what a low calorie burn... But then when you add them together it is a total of 502. I guess that is good! Tomorrow I have Legs & Back! Love that workout! Come on pull-ups!!!

Ok, on the diet, you are all going to think I am nuts!!! My biggest problem was eating right and not cheating. Well, last year, when Alli came out, I researched it and bought it. It is not a diet pill but a pill to teach you to eat right. If you eat high fat or junkfood, you get nasty side effects. I am sure you heard about them, so I will not get gross. So, I took it and NEVER cheated because I was so afraid of messing in my pants. I took it for about 6 months and lost 40 lbs in conjunction with doing P90X. I feel it helped me get on the path of eating right and healthy and clean. I stopped taking it last February when I knew that I had control of my eating and have not had any problems since then. I have one cheat meal a month. That is it! I have really accomplished alot with exercise and learning how to eat right.

Now, I do not have the problems alot of you have. I am almost 47 and my kids are grown up and moved out. My husband works nights so I control my eating myself. During the week, I eat alot of Lean Cuisine and Smart One's for dinner. I need something quick because I do not get done with my workouts til about 7:30 pm. Hubby is home on Friday's, Saturdays and Sundays and does the cooking then and makes low fat healthy meals from cookbooks he buys. I do not cook! I know, I am bad... But lucky he likes to cook!

I hope I helped you all. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Congrats Tena on the workout and CLEAN eating! I hope one day I get there! Ya I find it so much easier when Im alone to eat healthy even if I am hungry I do not go to fast food which I used to. But I still do eat it!

Do you have a HRM? I've been thinking about getting on but not sure. Is the exercise section on here kind of accurate? That is what I use.

Bedtime again, I have my body back on my schedule even though Im hardly working bedtime 11pm wakeup 6am!

tenaarnett

I do have a heartrate monitor with the chest belt and using it during every workout. For me, I have a high calorie burn so it is always more than this program states it should be. I am lucky in that restrospect. If mine ever broke, I would definitely buy another one fast! I have a Polar F-6. You have to watch them though cause some only do heartrate wherein the one I have does heartrate and calories burned.

Hope you have a great workout today!
