Hey group,
Here are some helpful tools to getting yourself ready for your P90X experience. The excel (I think made by Beachbody) has a tun of great tracking tools. Just glancing through it and I am already wishing it was the 6th!!!

Hope everyone's Monday is rockin' enjoy the last week non-insanity haha. Then it's GAME ON! :devil:0 -
I did p90x in January (for the whole month!) but fell off of the wagon after missing several weeks due to an unrelated injury and illness
Happy to see a motivation group with the same start date I intend to begin the program once again. I will be doing the "lean version." Can't wait to see everyone's results and get back to exercising again!

I am trying to figure out what program I am going to do for my FIRST round of P90X - I am jugging between the Classic and the Lean... trying to figure out the motivation and what I would like my end result to be. Glancing through the schedules it looks like the major difference is more weights vs. more carido. I admit I
LOVE Cardio X and Kempo X, I pretty much die during Yoga X but enjoy the pain. I have yet to try Core Synergistics so I am reaching out... Thoughts?
I want a leaner, sculpted figure. I am athletically built from years of rugby, hockey, football and volleyball so I want to trim down. What do you think? :ohwell:0 -
Whoo! That is a good sheet. I have a similar one which is pretty good but I reckon this one tops it.
Thanks Sassy!0 -

Sassy... Here are my thoughts. With your build, it's tricky. Whenever anyone EVER asks me what version they should do, I always tell them do the classic... I think I am gonna stick to that. The classic version is the perfect combination of strength, endurance, and cardio burn. I say do the classic and then reap all of the rewards... then try the lean afterward. I know you will love the results with the classic...
Let us know which way you go...

btw... Those workout sheets ARE awesome!0

Megsr.... Welcome! You got through a whole month of the program before, so I know you won't have a problem kicking it into high gear when we get the ball rolling next week. Get ready to bring it! We are happy to have you with us!

Hey all! I kicked off day 1 this morning, Chest & Back / Ab Ripper X. WOW what a workout!!! I'm certain I'm going to be sore tomorrow....
I got thrown an unexpected curve ball for my first P90X workout... No power thanks to hurricane Irene. So I had to do the workout by candlelight and use my laptop to play the Dvds. It took every last bit of laptop battery power to get through both workouts. But I got them done and the power came back on later in the day. So now I'm ready to go for Plyo in the morning.
Will check in again tomorrow!
-Mike0 -
Mike... Way to stick with it! That's determination for sure - no power and using the last bit of batteries in the laptop :drinker: Hats off to you!! Yay plyo!! Rock it for us!
Getting exited to pick up my resistance bands and chin up bar along with the P90X set TOMORROW!!!!0 -
What are some examples of High Protien foods?0

What are some examples of High Protien foods?
Chicken breast - you can pick up big bags of frozen chicken breasts and roast them off in batches for the week for easy meals.
Cottage cheese
Quinoa
Egg whites - you can make an omellete or scrambled eggs using 1 full egg and 5 whites only
Fish - tinned tuna is good and easy. Most fish fillets and steaks are solid.
Pork
Beef
Turkey
Tofu
Quorn
Peanut butter
Lots of nuts - brazils, almonds, peanuts, just make sure to get unsalted.
Lots of different seeds - pumpkin, sunflower etc0 -
Well I started P90X yesterday. I would have loved to wait until after the holiday weekend but I've been putting this off way too long as it is.
I used the bands for the pull-ups and did modified push-ups. (I don't think I have ever been able to do a real push-up in my entire life). That is my goal though, by the end of the first 30 days is to be able to do at least one set of "real push-ups". I currently struggle with them. As Tony would say... Also, I had no idea there were so many versions of push-ups.
The Ab Ripper X just about killed me. I attempted all of the exercises but by no means did I keep up with the workout. I will probably continue to do the Ab Ripper video after every workout and build my way up.
Plyometrics today... I am nervous but excited to see what the workout tonight brings.0 -
Imp - Good job in getting an early start!
I realised this morning that at the rate I'm going with my 'test run' workouts, I'm going to end up completing week 1 before the round has properly started. I'm not counting this week though for a couple of reasons:
Firstly, I'm not neccesarily completing each workout in full this week. I had to skip half of ab ripper X and 20 minutes of Plyometrics as it was a bit much for me. Secondly, I'm still waiting on my 5kg plates to be delivered so some of the movements aren't at the full weight I'd like to use for them.
So I'm treating this week as a run up of sorts so I can hit the ground running when the round starts in earnest next week.
Anyways... Arms and Shoulders tonight! 0 -
Hey! I started lean yesterday. Core Synergistics was awesome - and, yes, I'm definitely sore today! But loving it. For those of you who have done p90x already, I find dreya rolls super difficult. I really want to be able to do them as gracefully as they are done in the dvd by the end of this. I have Cardio X today, looking forward to it. I LOVE being sore like this, knowing my body changing - wahoo! Hope everyone else is having a good week before starting. 0

Day 2, Plyometrics IN THE BOOKS!
WoW!!!!! That is a KILLER workout.... KILLER. As in, I've never done anything so hard in my life.
But I made it through! I had to pause the DVD a few times to catch my breath and get my heart rate down out of the 170s (I'm 41), but other than that I kept pace reasonably well, and did all the exercises with just a few modifications here and there.
I wore soft braces on both my knees because I knew this workout would be killer on the knees, but so far they seem OK. I'm icing them now just in case.
I'm definitely sore in the pecs/triceps/lats from Chest & Back yesterday, but it's a nice burn. Feels like I got a good workout LOL! I'm sure my legs will be barking tomorrow!
Hope everyone is having a great day, and for those of you who have already started..... BRING IT!!!

Hey all!
Would love to join you guys starting the 6th. This would be my almost second round (more or less-haha). I dropped out the first round 2 weeks before my finish date! 2 weeks!!...ugh, still upset with myself about that.
I plan on doing classics. Also, is anyone a vegetarian? I REALLY struggled with getting all my protein as one.0 -
Mike... you ROCK!! Way to go on day two - making me want to start right now haha - I am so excited to do my first plyo during the first round CLASSICS!! - That's right I am doing Classics first time around (mainly because I want the @$$ whooping that comes with completing Plyo!)
Keep up the awesome work - can't wait to hear how your shoulders and arms are feeling after tomorrows routine! Press on!0 -
Super sad it starts the 6th. I started before and got to week 6 and stopped. I have been determined to start again and kept putting it off, and started again today. I don't want to stop, even after day 1, but good luck to everyone!0
-
I might jump in on this. I am debating which workout I want to start. The problem with P90X is I won't finish it due to P90X2 right around the corner.0
-
Nikki... gf there is never a problem starting now! We are here for support no matter when you start, it is just the idea that we will all be around the same page feeling similar pain and recovering together. You being a week early only means that we can count on you to cheer us all on while you are on recovery week and we are busting balls to get through week three. You and Mike will have tuns to talk about as you motivate the group!!!0
-
I found this "tread" under my topics, wasn't sure how to access your page. I do have one question, I am not a fan of Yoga so can I just replace it with Stretching that day?
I do appreciate you getting us all together, it so much fun to be part of a group, I found great pleasure with my running team and I seem to do much better when I join a group verse a solo player.
Enjoy the Day!:flowerforyou:
I am not a yoga entheuasist *sp* but the yoga in P90X is intense and an excellent work-out. Give it an honest try and see how much you sweat haha.
I agree! I hated doing yoga after my first time! So I switched it out with cardio X. But I decided to give it another try at the beginning of my 3rd month.. And now I love YogaX! Even when I'm not working on P90X I stick it from time to time.0 -
I'd like to join. Should I be scared?0

Well thanks! I think I can be your cheerleader, I may be a weak one from busting my butt, but count me in!0 -
Day 3 of my preliminary test run week. Shoulders and arms done - and guess what, I managed to complete Ab Ripper X all the way through too! Although I only got about half the number of reps as Tony and the crazy kids
Might have a rest day tomorrow and run Yoga X on Thursday - or I might just jump in tomorrow
Loving it!

WOW!!!! Where do I start??? You guys FREAKING ROCK!
Jackelyn.... Way to go on getting started. You are tearing it up already. I'm actually kind of jealous!
imp... Awesome job getting the ball rolling. AB RIPPER X is literally my favorite workout of all time. I am eternally grateful for THAT workout in particular. Changed my life! You mentioned that you are gonna do Ab Ripper after every workout. If that means you are gonna do it after yoga, plyo, and kempo, I encourage you to not do that. Your abs are like any other muscle in your body, if you over work them, they will not respond as quickly for you. The experts will tell you that you need at least a one day rest period in between ab workouts. I don't agree with that entirely, I would say that you can work your abs 5 times per week. But they cant all be the same workout. Soooo... I would suggest picking up another short ab workout if you want to work your abs more than three times per week. Message me if you want some suggestions... there are a couple of really good ones out there. Nothing can top ARX though! It's the best...
Nikki... Welcome! It's definitely nice having trail blazers (like you) clearing the way for us. We are here to cheer you on... You keep it up!
Sassy... I think you made the right choice. I totally forgot about Plyo not being in the lean version... Plyo rocks.
Jaybone... Dude, you are kicking *kitten*! Its incredible that you are so eager to get kicked off with this program. I love it! You are doing P97X! Way to go man!
gsenriquez...That's an interesting question. Should you be scared? Well, I was pretty nervous before I started my first round of p90x. BUT, looking back at it now, it was the best 90 days of my life. Welcome!
I AM SOOOOOOO FIRED UP YALL! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED.
Thank you all SO MUCH for jumping in and for all of the support you are giving. You guys are truly AWESOME!
Someone needs to name this group.... If anyone has any ideas, please feel free.
Spitfire... Im really excited for p90x2 to come out. We will be starting that particular program on 1/8/12. Its gonna be awesome.
m0 0m... welcome! I can't believe you made it 75 days in last time! wow! This time you will definitely make it all the way through! We have your back! get ready to bring it.
MIKE! PLYOMETRICS! It's one hell of a workout... .I thought I was gonna croak after the first time i did. I cant wait to get there with ya man! Way to go... Keepp bringing it!
This group is making my (and my fiance's) last week of summer very interesting. Every night we climb into bed and I say "Maybe we shoud just start tomorrow hon."
And every night she says "If you wanna start, go ahead. I'm not letting you talk me out of these 2 dinners and tialgating on Monday for the Phillies!"
hahaha... She is just as ready to bring it, but she is sticking to her guns! I wonder how the conversation will go tonight! haha..
Talk to yall later! Have a great evening!

Hey all, I'm really happy this group is here. This seems like an awesome bunch, and I can't wait to see everyone else get started! Welcome to all the new folks, and to those of you who have already started, I'm glad there are a few of us "paving the way" so to speak!
Drew, You're a great resource for us as well, having done the program before. I'm sure I'll be picking your brain at some point.
I can't wait for Shoulders & Arms in the morning (I'm a 5:45am workout guy, have to get it in before work!!). Tomorrow is my first day back to work after being on vacation for the last week and a half.
By the way, that spreadsheet on one of the previous pages looks great, I have one for P90X+ that looks just like that. I'm using a different one for P90X, I got it here in case anyone is interested: http://www.weightloss-hq.biz/weight-loss-forum/p90x-forum/p90x-classic-routine-excel-spread-sheet.html
By the way, you guys can all feel free to add me for support/encouragement, etc.
BRING IT!!!
