Hi!!!

Im doing P90 X as well. I am in Phase 2 recovery week. So far I am enjoying the progra. I can relate to the crazy soreness in the beginning. That shall pass! Good luck on your journey!

I am in phase 2 week 6. I can tell you I still find new things getting sore but it is amazing the transformation I am seeing. I am very impressed. I also found I have to eat more with this program, especially a couple days prior to the Plyo day that one is a killer! Good luck.

My wife an I are in Phase 2 of our 2nd Round. We still have muscle groups that are sore. That is the beauty of muscle confusion. Some of the workouts we hadn't seen in 6-8 weeks and our bodies need to get used to the rigors again. It is a wonderful program, you will like the results, if you Bring It!, and if you keep your diet clean.

Best,

Craig

Just finished the program for the first ninety days. Trying to workout my fitness plan now; want to incorporate my running back in, but keep th strength training from the X.

Love it!

Love love love P90X! I've done 5 rounds of it. I'm currently doing the newest BB program, ChaLean Extreme but ask away if you have any P90X questions! Stick to it and keep the meals *clean* and you will see incredible results!

I am curious about this product. How long each day do you work out for? Do you need to buy any accessories for it to work?

Hi Deedun! P90X is a 90 day program. Most of the workouts are an hour except for Ab ripperX which is 16 min and YogaX which is 90 min. You do need either weights or resistance bands and a way to do pullups (pullup bar or an attachment so you can use the bands). HTH!

I ordered p90x over the holidays and am still waiting for it to arrive. I've started back running and throwing in some pushups, situps, and pullups trying to ease the transition. They said I'd receive a tracking number when it was shipped but still nothing. Don't know if they shut down over the holidays or what but I'm truly excited about the program. Done a lot of research and it seems to be as solid as anything I've found. Can't wait to start!

I ordered the P90X program the other day and I can't wait for it to arrive.

Besides the initial order confirmation email, have you received anything else from them?

My husband just told me today that he ordered P90X for us! I am so excited that he wants to do this together! I know I will need all the help I can get. It's great to know that I can come to all of you with all of my questions too.
Good luck to all of us starting out!

Good for you! My hubby has done it with me also and lost 17#!!! It's an awesome program! Feel free to ask if you have questions!

Just FYI. They were doing their end of year inventories so if you ordered December 31st til now, the orders won't be shipping until today. But yes, you should get a shipping notice. If you have questions, you can contact your coach (you should have been assigned one when you bought it) or send me an email and I'll see if I can help.

Hey fellow "X-er's"! I'm on day 2 of Pahse I....Plyometrics? O-U-C-H! I'm looking for some help with the diet...I am trying to follow the Nutrition guide that came with the P90X program, which basically says that Phase I (Fat Shredder) of the diet calls for 50% Protien, 30% Carbs, 20% Fat. I used a calculator to figure out the actual grams of each I'm allowed (from freedieting.com), and then started manipulating my diet here on myfitnesspal...All of my food is pretty clean, with the exception of 2 cups of coffee with a tablespoon of flavored Coffee Mate creamer. Is there anyone who could give me some input/advice into this diet? Thanks in advance for ANY help/guidance...

Good for you! PlyoX... the Mother of all workouts! Do you know what level you should be eating? Basically just stick to the guidelines, it pretty much spells out for you how many carbs/ protein/ dairy/ fat/ etc that you should be eating. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or shoot me an email!

Hahaha, I remember that feeling too! That means that you were BRINGIN' it!! :bigsmile:

how is the chalean extreme??? i want to buy it so bad but i'm using it as a motivator. i'm not allowed to purchase it until i finish p90x. let me know!

jokerrn

Wow. Those BB folks made some bank over this holiday season, didn't they? I, too, ordered it and started the program today. Humbling.

My wife actually came to the door of the room where I was working out and asked if I was okay. :embarassed:

Not sure if I am looking forward to PlyoX tomorrow or not...

kak1018

Plyo is tough but my favorite. Make sure you are hydrated for that one. My husband and I are doing it together and I have to say it helps motivate me. When I first started there were many times I wanted to stop.

Hey Everyone,

I just started my second attempt at P90x yesterday, I lost momentum during the holidays and just decided to start over at the beginning. The first time around I made it to the second week of phase 2 of the classic version. I lost around 17 pounds in six weeks and became considerably more fit. This time around chest and back was just a little easier than before but no less soreness. The good thing about the design of the p90x program is that the workouts seem to work out the soreness from the previous night but add new soreness in different places at the same time, I guess that is the muscle confusion thing.Got Plyo tonight and it is a monster workout. Even after six weeks the first time around I still struggled to make it through it without pushing pause several times. Good luck to everyone and keep pushing play as you will see results both in strength and overall fitness.

I'm into Week 2 here. S&A and ARx tonight! :drinker:

kak1018

S&A is my favorite weight routine, and plyo rocks for cardio. I agree each workout works off of the last one to ease pain or make me focus on a new sore body part

What do you think of Ab ripper? I have done a lot of ab routines over the years and this one hurts my back, but I still plug at it. Any thoughts?

nunley25

I was having some back pain on the ab ripper so I bought an exercise equipment mat like the ones you would put a treadmill on to protect the floor and put my yoga mat on top of that and it seems to help alot. You can get the mat from wal-mart for about $20 or so. Its really good for taking some of the impact out of plyo as well.

I finally got an email stating my order shipped today! Hopefully I'll be on the program by the end of the week. Started back with the 4-5 mile runs and just got back from the gym trying to wake some sleepy muscles and may be not be so sore when I start. Trying to do alot of pushup, pullup, and abdominal type exercises anxiously awaiting whats coming. Best of luck to you guys, you're definitely very inspiring!

One thing I've found on this website is trying to watch what I eat. I've switched over to lots of poultry and fresh vegetables with no junk food, but the workouts are making it IMPOSSIBLE to consume the recommended 1700 net calories. Is this bad or what? After a 5 mile run and afternoon walking 18 holes of golf yesterday, I had burned over 2000 calories that I was supposed to eat and replace. That's impossible without eating alot of junk. What do you guys think, am I looking at this wrong?:ohwell:

I'm using a heart rate monitor which is calibrated to my weight to get the calories burned. I've also used my calibrated Nike+ ipod to ensure the counts are accurate and they are close enough that it's easy to see I should look like a horse if I eat what they recommend. I presently have my goal of loosing one pound a week. I just don't want to burn muscle instead of that disgusting fat!

I'm struggling with you here...based on my weight (240lbs) and activity level with P90X, I should be consuming 3400 total calories per day! I can do it if I'm eating Oreos and Root Beer floats, but it is hard to get that many calories and maintain the 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fat balance that the P90X nutrition plan calls for. How many chicken breasts can I eat, for crying out loud?!

Hopefully you haven't been reading this thinking I have an answer. I have none. Anyone have suggestions?

Btw, fair warning...on day 2, PlyoX is not your friend. :sick:

tracy24

try protein shakes and bars, should up both your calorie and protein intake
