Anyone starting P90x soon? (Sunday sept 25)

tuneses

I'm starting P90x tomorrow and was wondering if anyone is starting soon or has started recently. I'd love some support from others that are doing it!! I've completed Insanity last week and I'm looking forward to toning up this flab!!

spongela

i want to start it, do you have a pull up bar or resistance bands? i have a pull up bar but i fail at it right now.

I have a pull up bar and i can do like 1 or 2 lol. I dont have bands, i really hate bands. I'm going to buy weights.

spongela

oh i have weights but i only have 2 x 6 pound handweights, do you think i need heavier? also are you doing the classic or the lean schedule im kinda confused with that lol

JeffGDDG

I'm starting week 5 tomorrow. Good luck to you!

tuneses

I'm not sure about weights yet, i was gonna start with the 3lb hand weights i have and then go buy what i think I'll need. I'm doing classic because I also do cardio kickboxing and bike riding for extra cardio exercise. Lean is just more cardio videos than classic.

spongela

oh cool I think I'l go with classic it looks more strength based which is what I want, i will go with using the weights i have and go from there then seems the best plan, can adjust as you go along i guess

I just finished week 1 and I am sore but proud of myself LoL... I use 3lb weights because I don't want to bulk up at all, my arms are too big and I'm trying to get them smaller. I do more reps since I'm using smaller weights. I have a pull up bar and what I have done so far is use a folding chair to rest my foot on while I am doing them. This modifies the move for you and trust me it is still challenging! I can usually do about 10 with the chair. I do the classic version.

tuneses

Sounds good! I do wanna "bulk up"!! I'm going to do the fit test today and pictures. I'm itching to start! Btw starting tomorrow should have it end on Xmas eve.

spongela

what is the fit test?

faith_76

i use 12lbs. weights for most of it. if you dont have a mat you may want to get one for yoga.

spongela

oh didn't think about a mat, where can i buy one from?

Btw, how was insanity? From the commercials looks like it lives up to the name!

You can buy a mat at walmart, target, or any sports store like Sports Authority, etc.

Insanity was INSANE lol But I really really loved it. It's taken my cardio endurance to a whole new level. I never had this kind of endurance even when i was enlisted. I almost did a second round but decided i want to tone more.

The Fit test you do before and after. It's in the booklet but there isnt a video. You just have to see how many pull ups and stuff you can do, take your measurements and photos.

Dont get the cheapo ones. I have cheap one from walmart and it's falling apart after like 5 uses

I seriously think this is one of the best workouts even though i'm only on Day 4 today. I like that its a different workout for everyday of the week because I know your not suppose to work the same muscles everyday. The videos are fun and I don't feel like i'm really working out till its over and realize I've sweated away all the water I drank in the whole day and the soreness sets in. i'm doing the lean version

spongela

Day 1, just did chest back and ab ripper, it really does work you hard but the workouts are made fun at the same time, i think i am going to love and hate p90x at the same time lol. I also took before pictures, did everyone else?

I just started week 5 today, 1st day of phase 2.

Tpday is day 2 for me. My husband wanted to start again, so I took the initiative and started for both of us. Day 1 went ok, only got through half of the core synergisitcs. Dropped the motorcycle the other day and things ar a bit sore, so it was harder than usual.

Day 2 cardio shouldn't be as bad. I am doing lean

tuneses

Day 2 Plyo wasnt bad at all, well after Insanity it's not that bad lol. I did cardio kickboxing tonight too at the Y.

spongela

oh man i have a new dislike for Plyo, youu're lucky you did insanity first, i didn't do to bad its just learning the moves but im sure after doing a few i will get better. My Abs were really sore today from ab ripper oh well more fun tomorrow lol

jfinnivan

I just started. I've done the first two days (chest and back, plyometrics), and tonight I will do the biceps/shoulders. Using a HRM, I burned about 600 cals for each workout. It's as intense as you want to make it. I've been working out for a long time, but I'm still feeling muscle soreness from these two days!

spongela

Just completed my first week of p90x, my legs are killing me from the last 2 days, and my arms and abs were really sore the first 3 days lol, but anyways its been a great first workout week. I had never done yoga before, so i found some of it hard but i kind of like it, so I look forward to hopefully getting better at it. As well as being able to do more push ups and eventually be able to do unassisted pull ups. The only thing i think is that because i am doing the lean programme i am not getting enough cardio, but will see how the second week goes

Julieelliott12

Well I missed 1 maybe 2 workouts this week due to scheduling. Hope next week goes better.

tuneses

I was having a hard time with the length of the workouts so I made a Hybrid with Insanity so i can get the best of both worlds. I can only do so much while the kids nap. I push as hard as I can with the time I got.
