Power 90...Who's With Me?

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! Well, I just had another AWESOME workout! I did Kenpo Cardio+ and ARX, with ab work on ab slings and the ball. That just felt EXCELLENT!!!! Tomorrow is my regularly scheduled Rest Day but I doubt I will rest much with Ashley here!

When I got done with my workout, I went into the bedroom to see why Mike and Ashley were so quiet. Mike is asleep on the bed and Ashley is asleep laying on his chest. I did take a picture that I will have to post later for you all to see! It was soooo cute!!!

Jenn: I talked the other day to another girl from Canada and she orders and gets the Recovery Drink so let me know if your interested and I can walk you through ordering it. Email me and I can call you because I have free long distance.

Well, I am starting to freeze so it is time to hit the shower and get ready for a nice dinner...
Oh and this Recovery Drink tastes heavenly!!!

great job on everyones workouts! i have been eating great still. my sister loves her junk and keeps buying chips and cookies etc and i keep saying no! maybe its b/c i don't want to end up like her. good enough motivation for me. today i only did my 30 day shred but many laps in the pool. i forgot what a workout swimming is. i don't even know how i used to do 45 min everyday after school when i was on the swim team. crazy. i also got 2 new workout dvds. i hope they are good. one has 10 min of flexability which i desperatly need. well im off. have a great night all.
ps- there was some sun today so i got a bit of colour! whoo hoo

atynk

morning all. i bet everyone is sleeping in this sunday, something i have never been able to do lol. actually i slept in till 7:30 pretty nice. anyhoo i tried out my new biggest loser dvd and it was pretty good, then did my fav 20 min ab workout dvd. that video never gets easier. last night i wanted to munch on some popcorn and chips so bad but brushed my teeth instead. it too late to eat again so i decided against it. good thing cause there is sun again today so im walking around in the bikini! we are going to my fav steak place tonight with good bread and baked potatoes so im going to try to eat less during the day today. maybe just tuna at lunch no bread. well im off to the pool and going to try to get in as many laps as poss. they really dont make bikinis for swimming, i end up flashing most people with the girls or my butt. :laugh: .
enjoy your days off whoever has an off day!

so..... today was my 4th day with the P90, I decided to try out the fat burner cardio.... It was great is a lot funner than the regular sweat 1-2. Then I did the abb ripper 100. God I was dying lol.

So I did cheat a little on my diet this weekend but I promise to keep on track this whole week.

Well I hope all of you have great work outs!
Remember keep pushing play no matter how hard it gets!!!!

Hey Buddies! Well, today has been a busy and long day! Ashley and I went and did our 2 wks grocery shopping this morning. She really was alot of help and it only took about 1 1/2 hrs where usually when I am by myself, it takes 3 hrs. I spent alot less this payday so I had her pick out a toy and she picked out a Hanna Montana cell phone and then I bought her some cute grown up kind of sun glasses. She picked out a pair of sunglasses for my grandson, Chandler and a little hand held game for him. I bought some men's workboots for work. I am a secretary at an overhead crane company. I am the only girl with 20 guys! I love my job and get to wear jeans every day. I go into the shop alot and have ruined a pair of shoes and 2 pairs of New Balance tennis shoes. So, I decided I just needed workboots like the guys wear. I bought a pair of men's! They are really comfortable too! Now I am getting ready to color my hair cause next Saturday I have an awards banquet for Mike's(hubby) work. I get to wear a fancy long, tight fitting slinky dress, size 6 might I add! It is so pretty. I will have Mike take a picture. Mike is getting the Top Honors award and a diamond ring!

Adriana: Way to go on your workout today! You are doing awesome! Keep it up girl! Today is my Rest Day so no workout today.

Tomorrow is P90X Back & Biceps and Ab Ripper with extra ab work on the slings & ball. Can't wait!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Andrea: I am so proud of you that you are being so good in Florida! Im telling Jay that you miss him!
Looking forward to you coming home since we are both umemployed bums we should get together soon!

Well I just finished Sweat 3-4 and Ab Ripper 200 and feel great about my workout but did something dumb! I took my firelean and Omega 3-6-9 before my workout without food and by the time the punches came I was dizzy and light headed I had to stop and just walk around.. I tried to do as much as I could of the punches but didnt get through too many. I also did as much as the Ab Ripper I could too. Now I know too much of a workout for no food in system. I felt so bad I am glad I had the yogurts with 14g of sugar in them to bring me back to normal, still not there yet but its coming back!

Have an awesome workout today everyone!

tenaarnett

Jenn: Way to go on trying the workout and mainly for listening to your body! We all learn from our mistakes so just shake it off. I am so proud of you for continuing and doing your best. That is what counts! WAY TO GO!!!

Well Friday I did Sculpt 1-2 and Sweat 1-2 with abs... so two workouts in one night and i worked out with my girls, they attempted to do the stretching and then got bored and played inteh basement while i worked out. I felt great doing it, especialy since i was without my hubby for the night and the girls just loved being able to play in the basement. I didnt work out all weekend, but I did get prepared to start p90X on monday. . I bought myself pushup bars for me and hubby and then a full set of dumbells and then resistance bands (stronger ones since mine is so easy)

Tena - any other equipment i will need to do the workouts? You sure make me sweat just thinking about all the workout you can do.. I sure hope I will get to the stage you are at with fitness.

tenaarnett

Jen: Way to go on your workout Friday! Double one! WOW!

Sounds like you are pretty set to start P90X. I do recommend some weightlifting gloves, otherwise you will develop callous' and my hands do not get sore.

Be positive. Don't hope you will get to my stage of fitnes. YOU WILL! It just takes time, consistency, hard work and a positive attitude that you will succeed! I know you will do great! Can't wait to hear what you think!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Tena - this is a great post - very motivating.

I had to rest Friday and Saturday to allow my hip some rest therapy -but it is doing better and I did level 1 on cardio blast yesterday...I made the mistake of doing it right after eating - was out of breath really fast. I will do it again today but after food settles.

Here's to a great week ladies....:drinker:

Sweettart

Well I just attempted my first day of P90X Core Synergistics. I only did 20mins of it because I started to feel lightheaded again like this morning so I stopped. I was actually surprised with myself I did more then I thought I could!

Going to continue P90 3-4 this week and next monday start P90X again!

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! Finished my workout and I am wiped out! My arms feel like they weigh 10 tons! Tonight I did Back & Biceps and Ab Ripper X with extra ab work on the ab slings and exercise ball. I even did mason twists with weights! Even using weights I did 50! I burned 515 calories in Back & Biceps and 230 in my ab workout! Now I am cooling down and starting to freeze. But I tell you what that Recovery Drink is AWESOME! After a workout like that I need it!!! Tomorrow is Plyometrics!

I will try to come back after shower and dinner.

geeze there are so many dvds i have no clue about lol. i did my ab one this morning as we are going to be walking around a lot today. it looks kinda sunny and i bought a new bikini yesterday so im excited to try it out. if i dont eat heavy or have a lot of salt you can actually see definition in my abs lol! although this excites me i still know i have lots of work to do to get down to my ultimate goal. i need to get all that extra fat of me. it seems to be hanging out in my arms lately lol!
so yesterday at lunch i did what i said and got a salad and a slice of pizza. bad idea. i hadnt eaten any dairy in a while and i sometimes get ibs so my stomach did not enjoy having that cheese and some ice cream also later. so no more dairy for me. well maybe an ice cream here and there :laugh:
i sure hope we can go down to the pool so i can get some laps in!
have a great day all! we are going to an amazing steak place tonight so im really going to take it easy during the day. last night here!

Good Morning Everyone! I had a very good nights sleep. Too good in fact! When the alarm went off, I was in a deep sleep and it took awhile to register it was going off. In fact, it took one of my German Shepherd's, Tasha to wake me up! It is supposed to be sunny and in the 40's again today. I can handle that! We have been super lucky so far this year and only had one week where we got ice and on and off really cold days.

Well, tonight I have plyometrics! I am ready!!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day and excellent workout today!

I just finished Sculpt 3-4. Starting to really love P90!

Like I said last night I did try P90X and it was hard but when I was going my P90 today I was thinking that I am going to do all 90 days of P90. I have never finished a whole workout routine so I am going to prove to myself that I can do it!

Tena: You always have great sleeps I wish I was like that! Any tips?

Have an awesome workout day everyone!

TRLTAMPA

I'm just starting my P90. I had it a while ago and lost it, so a friend just burned it for me again. I'm kinda scared and pumped at the same time. I know it's gonna kick my butt.

huskeymom

Sleep - whats that??? My oldest dd got me up at midnight to go pee, then one of our huskies woke us up at 130 wanting to go outside, so dh just yelled at her and then at 230 she was up at our bedside again. I of course got up and took her downstairs to let her out and she had gotten sick... so let her out, clean up the mess and then get her back in... Then 30min later she wants out again. I am so tired. Of course I couldnt fall back to sleep until 5 and my alarm went off at 6am.argh i give up.

So yesterday I screwed up and did Arms and shoulders P90X instead of hte back and chest... opps so that will be my wednesday workout. I am not sore at all surprisingly. I was able to do 10lbs and did 15-16 reps for all excersizes. And I was actually able to do 20-25 chair lifts and 25 side ab lifts (whatever those are called) they bruised my hips. ouch they are killing me. ANd then we did the ab ripper, I didnt do so well on those, I think I did maybe 150-200, it was so hard with my hips hurting and some of those ab workouts really hurt my tailbone.

Trltampa - good luck on starting today.

sarabear

Can't wait till mine comes :happy: I'm super pumped!

Jenn: Way to go on your workout this morning! I am so glad you had a good one today! I think that is a good plan to do the whole 90 days. That way you build yourself up for the X. The X is an intense workout... About sleep...I think it is a combination of working all day and the intense workout I do when I get home. I do not do anything special...

TRL: Welcome to our group! I am kind of a veteran here. I have been doing P90X for over a year and half now. I am a coach on the beachbody thread. First, don't be afraid. You will be surprised at what you can actually do when you push hard enough. I never thought I would ever be able to do an unassisted pull-up on the pull-up bar and now I just whip them out. Day 1, I could not do any. I was doing the X for about 8 months before I could actually do one unassisted. So, first rule never say never... Just say I will be able to do it (any exercise) one day. Have the right mindset. You will do great! Jenn, aka sweettart is doing P90 and doing great! You will too. Best of luck and we are here to help you succeed.

Well, back to work...

Tena

tenaarnett

Wow! Look at the posts that came while I was posting:

First: Welcome Sara! What I said to TRL pertains to you too. It can be intense but as Tony says "Do your best and forget the rest!" Best of luck...

Jen: I have done that before and mixed up my Mondays and Wednesdays. It is no big deal. In fact this weeks rotation it is set up to do C/S/T on Monday and Back & Biceps on Wednesday. I moved those 2 around because Back & Biceps, you do pull-ups. Then I do tons of pull-ups again on Fridays with Legs & Back. So I moved it to Monday so they are not so close together.

I have alittle hint for you on what I do. I always do my ab workout before my weighted workout! You are more refreshed and will get the burn and feel it better. Try it! Alot of people do it that way.

Sorry about your night! I have been there many times.. I have a chihuahua-Gidget, a Border Collie-Molly and two, 2 yr old German Shepherds-Tasha & Tory. We have learned that when they wake you up like that, you better get up or there will be some sort of mess....

Well, gotta get back to work...

Tena

Sweettart

Wow I am SO happy with everyone that has joined me on my journey with P90!!!!! I know some of you are doing P90X and some are doing totally different workouts but as long as you are doing something!

TRL: Welcome to our group. Like Tena and Tony say do what you can but listen to your body and DON'T push yourself further then you can go!

I am now on P90 3-4 and Tony kicks my butt!!!!! I can't do push ups hardly at all. I am so surprised how far I have become already with P90.

Have fun with it and just do what you can!

Hey all!

Back from Philly and back into Sculpt 1&2 this morning. Am considering moving to Cardio 3&4 tomorrow but sticking to Sculpt 1&2 for a week or two more.

YES WE CAN!!!

huskeymom

Ok I just died doing Plyometrics P90x... oh my lord was that a workout. I made it through it just had to skip the second set of two sets since I was runnign out of time for work to start but I did it. sort of. it wasnt the legs burning that was really slowing me down it was the heartrate and breathing... what a cardio workout.

tenaarnett

Hey Everyone! Tonight I did my workout and it was AMAZING and AWESOME! I did P90X Plyometrics! I gave it my all and "left it all on the floor!" I burned 620 calories in that workout! It was GREAT!!!! I did not have a dry spot on me! I did not pause the dvd once! I am so proud of myself. I had my Recovery Drink, shower and then dinner and now I am watching Biggest Loser.

Jen: Way to go on plyo! That is definitely a rough workout! It takes everything out of you! I did feel the burn in my legs cause squatted super lower and and kept up with Dominc most of the workout!

Paula: Welcome back! We sure missed you!!!! Way to go on your workout today! It sounds like you have a great plan for moving it up...

Well, back to BL.... Have a great night everyone!

Hello everyone. I started P90 on January 1st. In two weeks I lost 9 pounds and 4 1/2 total inches. I still have a long way to go since my goal is 50 pounds in 90 days but I think I can do it. My starting weight was 284 pounds.


According to my HRM, I burn about 800 calories from the cardio 1-2. That is from warm up to heart rate back to normal. About 550 in sculpt 1-2. That seems kind of high to me but maybe with my current weight it might be right. I do go all out. If I dont come close to getting sick I dont feel I did enough. Any veterans here have any input on that? Are those numbers way too high or could they be accurate considering my weight and level of intensity?

tenaarnett

Good Morning Everyone! As usual I had a wonderful nights sleep and woke up full of energy and ready for the day! We have a warm from moving through and today it is supposed to be 60 and tomorrow 70. But Friday a cold front moves in, changing our temps to the 30's again! I just wish it would stay warm or cold and stop the up and down swings.

Fairborn: Everyone burns calories at a different rate! I tend to burn high like you! We are really blessed to have such a high calorie burn. Way to go on losing 9 lbs in 2 wks. That is truly awesome and amazing! I am so proud of you! The way you are going, you will definitely reach your goal! Keep it up girl!

Well, I have to get to work... I hope everyone has a wonderful day and excellent workout.

Morning all,

So, I did Cardio 3&4 today for the first time, now THAT'S a work out! So glad I moved up. Managed to keep up with pretty much everything except in the abs I just got to 16/17 reps in 3 of the 10 routines. VERY pleased with myself overall. I have no doubt my hips will be killing me later/tomorrow.

Will look to up my reps to 12 on the Sculpt.

Well done everyone, it's good to be back!

huskeymom

Fairborn - Thats great you have lost that much weight, keep up the good work. I know you will reach your goal in no time. I lost 8-10lbs a month and lost a total of 70lbs in 9 months so there is hope.

Tena- It is freezing here yet again, I will trade you spots!!! I get so frustrated talking to our salesman in floriday, he complains on how warm it is and we are dealing with negative F temps here. PLease take me away from this stuff.

Paulamma - Great job on doing 3-4, so glad you were able to keep up and keep going through it. I havent seen that workout yet so I am sure it is a good workout compared to 1-2.

I am so super sore today, man I thought since i didnt really feel any muslce tenseness or soreness yest night I would ok for today, ya right. i woke up and could hardly move my legs, and then sitting at my desk, it takes a while for me to actually get my *kitten* off this chair. please help me!!! lol

I think I might take you up on the drink Tena, just have to see if my bro will allow me to ship it to his US address instead so there is no duties involved.

Sweettart

AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

I am SOO happy this thread is turning out like I hoped it would! It seems like everyday we get someone new and that is great!

Today I tried to do P90 Sweat 3-4 and Ab Ripper 200 but again I have a headache today and it gets worse when I workout so I had to stop......again :explode: I just can't wait I have a doctors appt on tues and I want to know what they are from so I can get back to working out 6 days a week not 4 days a week.

Well everyone have a great workout today and push yourself a little hard for me since I can't!
