    hey im 3 days in with my roommates, and i was wondering what kind of resistance bands u used or weights. i bought a cheap pair from walmart but they dont say the resistance on them and for all my roommates its pretty easy. let me know if u have any suggestions.

    For me I use 2 lb, 5 lbs, 8 lbs and10 lbs. Hubby and I are looking into buying a nice set of weights for our home and much heavier because he lifts alot heavier than me.
    As fas as the resistance bands. I use medium and heavy. I bought mine at Target awhile back. You can also buy the adjustable resistance bands. You can add or remove tubes to increase or decrease your resistance.
    Welcome to the challenge. Kelly :smile:

    @Kelly

    I highly recommend Power Blocks. They go up to 50 lbs. and were well worth the investment.

    Looks like everyone is doing great one here. What a good group that Kelly started. Just finished my 1st week yesterday. Only got to do one supplemental workout at lunch this week. Oh well, such is life. Also missed my workout this morning because I had to finish some work before going camping this weekend. Just means that I have to make sure to workout Sunday when I get home.

    I did have a nutrition question and wanted to get the group's advice. Since I am only going to be doing approximately 5 workouts a week and targeting the 3 cardio during lunch, i'm wondering what my calorie goal should be. If I was following the program to a "t" then I should be on level 2 - 2400 calories. However, I did the level one because I don't think I need to be at that level since I'm doing the lean program. I noticed when I was at 1200 earlier during the week, I struggled with my workout and my energy. When I was closer to my target, I felt good, so I think this is a good level. However, when I was weighing myself, I saw the number move up (and yes, I know this really shouldn't be what I'm keeping track of, but I can't help myself).

    Any thoughts would be appreciated. Btw - I don't track what I eat on the weekend, but I try to make good choices.

    To LilyInLove: I can't for the life of me do rock star jumps either. Especially not so far into the workout. By that point I can barely get my poor rubbery legs off the floor. But we will both get there. Just keep Bringing It!

    I've read that most people don't think Kenpo X is much of a workout. I think this is crazy talk!! Maybe it's just because I'm used to Turbo Fire or maybe it's just because I'm so sore, but omg. Ouch. :)

    I am soooo ready for my day off tomorrow to recover!

    OH I LOVE the Kenpo X workout! I missed it when I was doing the Insanity. I think once people get the punches down and find their coordination it is a much more enjoyable. :happy:

    Well Kenpo X definately worked my hamstrings!! They burned in my run yesterday after I had done Kenpo the day before!!!
    Today is another run day for me and then I will be doing shoulders/arms after my run.....trying to do both today!!

    Is it crazy that I want to do two Kenpo sessions tomorrow. I will see how I feel after the first, but I loved body combat at the gym. My 12 year old will be working out with me...well only one session.

    Well, I started Week Two! I think I did a little better with the workout this time around. Almost forgot the ARX routine. I wonder if that's a psychological statement! But I buckled down and did it. There are still moves that I can't even do once, let alone 25 times! But I will keep trying, and eventually it'll happen.

    Hope everyone else is doing well and bringing it. Did everyone do photos and measurements and fit test and such so you can track progress? I'd love at the end of all this to compare results. Like, how many total inches did the group lose! That would be cool.

    Hello challenge peeps! We are heading into our 2nd week of the challenge. I'm checking in to see how everyone is doing.
    What is your favorite workout so far? How did you all survive the "sore" part of the 1st week? Do you have an questions or concerns you would like to share about the workouts, nutrition...ect? If any of you ever have question you don't want to post on the board you can always send me a private message and please do! I try to look carefully through the thread to make sure I'm not missing anything, but sometimes I may!

    My workout today is Back&Arms X. Tomorrow is my long run day. I think I have 12 miles on the schedule? Can't remember! HA!

    Have a happy and healthy weekend! XO Kelly :flowerforyou:

    Kelly - I do have a nutrition question....I am not following the p90x diet plan, just doing the calories on MFP, but I was wondering if it is bad for you to have too little fat in your daily diet?? Is that possible?? I looked at my diary and most days I am only having aroung 20gm or less of fats...is that enough??
    Not sure if you can answer that or not, but I figured I throw it out there.
    Thanks
