Power 90...Who's With Me?

Sweettart

Ladies I just wanted to correct myself. When I said I only have 1.4lbs to get back to my xmas day weight I was wrong, I will be back to my NYE weight!

Lana: What supplements are you taking? And I hear you when you are so sore it feels like working out is a chore but keep going and you will feel so much better! What helps me out tons is I tape over the time on my dvd player and on my tv so I have no idea how much I"ve done or have to do.

Hey Everyone! Well, I finished my Jillian Shredder 1-2-3. It was the best ever!!! I burned 791 calories!

I already had my shower because Mike is starving... Oh well, he will just have to wait till I redo my make-up, blow dry my hair and straighten it! hahaha

I think tomorrow I might do that short Jillian Cardio Kickbox just for the fun of it... Even though it is my rest day...

Well, gotta go get ready. We are going to a new restaurant that opened in Bixby called The Santa Fe Steak House. I hope they have chicken!

Hello Everyone!

Well today is usually my rest day but due to the fact I didn't work out on Thurs and made that my rest day for this week today was Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100.

I got up feeling nauseous and didn't want to work out but pushed myself. Once I started warming up and then getting into the power yoga I was feeling worse and light headed so I stopped. I am kinda upset that I didnt work out today but at the same time if Im getting sick I dont want to push myself and make myself worse.

A lot of ppl around me are sick so keep your fingers crossed that Im not going to get it! I have mono about 5-6yrs ago so I get sick very easy, it doesnt help that one person that is sick is my bf.

Have a great day! :flowerforyou:

Hey Everyone! Well, at 1:00pm I did Jillian's Cardio Kickbox. It is only 28 minutes and I only burned 229 calories. Immediately after that, I got on the Wii Fit. First I did the daily check in and balance check. I am now officially down to age 45! That is 2 yrs younger than I really am!! WOOOOTTT!!! Then played on it for 95 minutes and burned 572 calories! It is awesome to have a calorie burn like that by just playing! I am done now and worn out! I plan to hit the shower and chill for the rest of the afternoon and evening! This was supposed to be my Rest Day but I decided to do that short workout and then play on the Wii. Tuesday is when Jillian's Wii is supposed to be delivered. This week is Recovery Week and the end of Phase 2 of Round 6. This morning I was busy typing up my essay portion for the Beachbody grand prize. That was hard. I hope it is good!

Jenn: I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well. But, way to go listening to your body! That is what you have to do. It is best to just rest today! Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!

Sweettart

How do you all add the ticker to your post???

Tena

Sweettart

Tena: You go to tools and make a ticker. I think it just adds it for you.

Well wow I just did my new My Fitness Coach for the Wii and omg she kicked my *kitten*!!!!
I can't believe that I am admitting this but I was more sweaty from that 30min cardio session as I am doing the Power 90!

If you have a Wii I strongly suggest investing in it!

So today I did P90 Sweat 1-2, Ab Ripper 100 and 30mins of My Fitness Coach! I don't have a HRM yet so I go by the calories burned off here and I burned 792 calories today!!!

psyknife

Girl, you are totally rockin' this out!!!! Proud of you! :flowerforyou:

I don't have a HRM yet so I go by the calories burned off here and I burned 792 calories today!!!

Jenn... If I may suggest, you might want to have a look on eBay for a HRM. You can get some really decent prices on them. Mine's a model that monitors the index finger rather than using a chest strap. Bowflex sells it for $100; found it new on eBay for $38... Sweet..!!

nicolet04

i am going to be getting power90 soon!!!:happy: ....im just wondering how much weight have you all lost since you started it??

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! Well I finished my workout! I am in Recovery Week so tonight I did P90X CardioX and Ab Ripper X w/extra abs. It was AWESOME! I love doing Cardio X. I had a great calorie burn and feel awesome! Tomorrow I have 1 on 1 Road Warrior! That is such a good overall workout!

Well, time to hit the shower! I will be back later. I have to watch Diet Tribe at 9pm CT on Lifetime!

Welcome Andrea! I just began last week. Keep it up at the gym!

Way to go Tammy! You kept going and didn't give up. You're an inspiration to me. I hope I can get thru AB Ripper 100 soon. I had a rest day yesterday so I'm not sore today and Sweat 1-2 was easier. I still can only get thru the first set of lunge jumps before I konk out, but that's a little better than last week.
You asked about supplements. I'm taking Beachbody's Total Health Women's Formula. What is Fitness Coach for Wii? My son has the system. Is it part of Wii Fit?

Nicole: I just started last week and haven't weighed in yet, but my husband did Power90 last year and lost 40 lbs. I like it because it's progressive. You get a chance to build strength and stamina before moving to the next level.

Tena: I got my ticker from www.tickerfactory.com

Lana

Nicole: I have been doing Power 90 since Dec 1 and have lost 11.8lbs.

Last month was hard with my bf's bday, his xmas party, xmas and new years. I lost 11.4 last month so this month my goal is to lose more then that!

Lana: Who is Tammy?

tenaarnett

Ok, now I am back to catch up...

Andrea: Welcome to our group! Sounds like you have a great plan with working out at the gym. I love working out at home. I used to go to a gym and had an idiot stalking me! That is why I quit that. Now at home, I do not have to worry about weirdos. I have my 2 german shepherds sleeping next to me while I workout and feel super safe.

Nicole: P90 is a great place to start. The programs by Tony Horton are excellent because they are progressive. Once you master P90, you move onto P90 Master Series and then P90X and P90X+ and so on. There is no plateauing with these programs. He sets out your daily routine and you just follow it. Add clean eating and you are on the road to succeeding. I definitely recommend it as I am a true example of how you can change your body. Look at my pictures and you will see what I am talking about. It works....

Lana: You are really doing awesome! Keep it up! You will see that you will get better each time! I am so proud of you.

And my Jenn: What can I say??? I am so SUPER PROUD of you! Look at how much you have accomplished in such a short period of time. Just remember, this is not a fad diet, it is a lifestyle change and a lifetime journey that we are all taking together. Together, we will ALL SUCCEED AND REACH OUR GOALS!!!

Tena

Wow Tena thank you SOOO much for the comments about me. Honestly I know I am doing the work but YOU are the one that is keeping me motivated! I have had some accomplishments and its only been 36 days!

How old are your shepherds? My bf has a huskey/sheperd mix, Bear is 41/2. Once he gets a house soon he wants to get a king sheperd. I told him thats not a dog that is a pony!

I also had a gym membership and hardly ever used it. I love working out at home espeically since it is winter. You don't have to get dressed, out in the cold, clean off your car, and the best part.. your clothes don't have to match lol

Sweettart

Well another day done!

Just finished Sculpt 1-2 and I REALLY hate those damn push ups! I am getting better at them but still wish I could take them out lol.

Its official, today is the day that I have NOT eaten fast food in 3 weeks!

Have a great workout everyone!

PS-Andrea where is your post young lady I know you were at the gym at 6am!!!!

huskeymom

Hi everyone,

by pressure from my dear friend Jenn, she has convinced me to start P90 and to post on here... I love her anyways. hehe

I just did sweat 1-2 with ab ripper, really I feel like maybe a did a long walk/jog yest, I really want to feel the burn (you know what I mean)

Ok a little history on me... Jan 2008 i weighed in at 220lbs, my dad ended up having double bypass surgery and that is when i decided i am going to make a healthier me...So I started dieting and doing pilatis once a week. Then by spring time in May 2008 i weighed 185lbs and then started to jog during my lunch hour at work. At first I could only do a 2km jog and then by the end of the summer I was doing 10km in an hour time. October 08 I finally acheived my goal of 150lbs. So a total of 70lb weightloss and feeling great still. Yes with the holiday junk food/drinking I did gain 3lbs but I really dont care, just want to tone up the flabby belly and thighs so P90 and advanced pilatis class is going to be my solution (hopefully)

Tonight is P90 sculpt 1-2!

Ok so day 1 of my lay off and i managed to stay on plan. I still got up at 5:40 this morning and went to do my cardio at the gym. Then I came home and did for the first time ever my 30 day shred dvd. I really liked it. I really prefer to work out at the gym because I find I go harder with people watching plus I cant get distrated..only workout. but im going to continue with the 30 day shred as well as my cardio at the gym. I find its hard in the evenings because I dont' have a lot to do now so I think about eating bad!
I must not think!! lol.

Hi there,

This is my second week on Power90. I've been very active for the last couple of years (running, weights, Tae Kwon Do). I was using 25lb dumb bells. Here's the deal. I use 15lb dumb bells for Power90 and do full push ups. The only thing I feel challenging is the 100 Ab Ripper. Is it way too early to move on to Phase III IV? Alternatively, I was thinking of moving up the weights to 20 lbs, 15 reps (just like on the tape), doing this for the a couple of weeks and THEN moving on to the next phase.

Comments, suggestions?

(This topic is VERY encouraging BTW.)

Thanks.

Holy Krap Andrea, so sorry about your recent goings on!

Well done with the work out schedule!

Hey Everyone! Wow! Alot of new people!

Well tonight I did Tony's 1 on 1 Road Warrior and it was AWESOME. He has weights, legs and booty! He is also alittle nuts/funny in it! I burned over 400 calories and it felt great! Tomorrow I do P90X+ Intervals. That is a really tough workout!

Paula (I guess that is your name??): I am doing P90X, P90X+, 1 on 1 , 10 min trainers, you name it and if Tony made it, I do it. On your question, you know your body better than anyone. It sounds like you are really rocking it and if it seems easy, move on now, don't wait! Do you have the P90 Master Series? You may want to consider moving on to P90X soon! You are doing great! Keep it up!

Andrea: Way to go on your workouts! I love the 30 day shredd too sometimes. Which session do you do? I did all 3 Saturday and burned 791 calories. It was AWESOME!

So now I am confused... Is there 2 people named Jen??? :embarassed:

Jenn: Way to go on your workout! I told you the push-ups will get better. Not easy, just better...

Jen: Way to go on starting P90! You are on the right step to health and fitness. Just remember it is not a fad, it is a lifetime journey we are all on. You have to make sure you eat healthy and workout and the results will come fast, like with Jenn...

Well, gotta get to bed. Have a great nights sleep everyone and excellent workout tomorrow.

This is my second week on Power90. I've been very active for the last couple of years (running, weights, Tae Kwon Do). I was using 25lb dumb bells. Here's the deal. I use 15lb dumb bells for Power90 and do full push ups. The only thing I feel challenging is the 100 Ab Ripper. Is it way too early to move on to Phase III IV? Alternatively, I was thinking of moving up the weights to 20 lbs, 15 reps (just like on the tape), doing this for the a couple of weeks and THEN moving on to the next phase.

I would suggest that, if you feel like you're ready to tackle the 3-4 workouts, then go ahead and make the move. Plan on more time spent for both the sculpt and sweat workouts, and the ab ripper 200 doubles the reps (no new ab exercises there). I hope you like pushups and squats because Tony has a couple of sets in 3-4 where he does those exercises to muscle failure (as many as you can crank out until your body says, "No more left boss!"). You'll also be doing some forearm weight work and longer sets of lunge/squats. Just stick with it and push through; if you've conquered the 1-2 workouts, don't be discouraged by the stepping up in the 3-4 workouts.

Who knows... After a while, you might feel like you're ready to tackle the "X"..!!!

Morning all. well i went to the gym at 6 and did my 30min on elipitcal. then i came home and tried my jackie workout video (just the 20 min ab part) ! boy was it hard. Ive never done such a great ab workout before! and i was doing beginning modified easy version!! :laugh:
Anyway today Im going to this job fair thing with Jenn today so hopefully we can find something before money runs low. Wish us luck!!!

Hi all! I didn't get a chance to post yesterday but I did manage to get thru Sculpt 1-2! I'm going to do Sweat today. Last week I had my hardest day the first Sweat workout after Sculpt - I was so sore!
I actually made it thru the Sculpt this time but my stamina is so poor that I'm dreading those lunge jumps in Sweat.

Jenn: There is no Tammy. I don't even know a Tammy. I guess I shouldn't try to do three things at once, but then, don't we all? Great job on the fast food. We eat on the run a lot but I'd love to make a fast food ban in our house. I have an 11-yr old son who I notice is putting on weight the past 6 months and I don't want to see him end up like the rest of America. Keep up the workouts!

Andrea: I'll be praying for you as you look for a job. Keep doing the right things and don't forget to take care of yourself and the rest will come. Keep pushing Play!

Tena: You're such an inspiration. I want to get to where you are. My husband loves to mountain bike and I like it too but I have a hard time keeping up with him. I'm hoping that this road to fitness will lead me down a lot of trails someday. How did you like DietTribe? I thought it was pretty real. I can relate to the emotion that comes out when you begin to see what you've let yourself become.
Did you watch Biggest Loser last night? I love to watch the transformations - no drugs, surgery or fad diets - just hard work and consistency. Thanks & Keep it Up!

Morning all, thanks for the input!

I did Sculpt I & II this morning and decided to be realistic before moving on. I'm keeping the weights at 15lbs, and upping the reps. Today I did 12 reps and could already feel the difference! I also paid very close attention to his instructions (like on the bicep curls, letting your arm straighten out FULLY at the end) and also felt the difference.

So, I'll keep on this for the next couple of weeks, the goal being to move to the full 15 reps at 15 lbs, paying close attention to form and then move on to III & IV. That'll give me two months at the next level.

What I'll add is more cardio, so at lunch time today I'll go to the gym and run for 30 mins.

Best,
Paula

Sweettart

Andrea: Awesome job with still getting up early with your morning workouts! I really need to get back into that habit as well. I did it for the first week after I got laid off but now just do it whenever.

I just got done doing 30mins of MY Fitness Coach and now eating lunch (subway chicken sub) and then let it digest and then it is onton P90 Sweat 1-2 and Ab Ripper 100.


Tena: What kind of HRM do you have? I asked Brian for one for my bday.

I'll be back later to post after P90

tenaarnett

Jenn: Mike (hubby) bought me a new one for Christmas that is awesome. It is a Nike Imara for Women. I love it as it does the heart-rate, calories burned and shuts off after you are done to conserve battery energy. He got it at Academy Sports. It is regularly $99 and he got it on sale for $69.00. I have the Polar F-6 too (which is more expensive) but I like the Nike one better. Plus it is made just for women...

Tena

Sweettart

Tena: From reading tons of posts on here it seems Polar is the best and the Polar F-6 is PINK, my fav colour lol.

One thing I hate about living in Canada is trying to find a HRM is like impossible! The american sites have them but when you do the Canadian one they dont!

Keep your fingers crossed I get one!

Sweettart

Well I am now finished my second workout for the day!

I did learn something with my 2 workouts today. I learned that I'm not ready to do 2 cardio sessions in 1 day and to not do my P90 second.

My workout schedule is now going to be:

Mon, Wed, Fri - P90 Sweat and Ab Ripper
Tues, Thurs, Sat - P90 Sculpt and 30mins of My Fitness Coach doing cardio
Sun- REST!!!!!

I may also walk on the threadmill at my bf's or go for a walk with his dog.
