I don't think I'm ready for P90x. I'm still kind of sore from Plyo from day 2. I think I'll just stick to going to the gym to build up more tolerance. I hate to quit, but I think I have to. :frown:
And to all of you who are continuing to to this, I commend you. I look forward to starting up again. Good luck!0 -
I wasn't well yesterday, so workout missed (well postponed)
I've done legs & back this morning and I'll do kempo this afternoon / early evening, not doing ARX as doing it tomorrow as I'm bringing my days forwards as I'm doing another challenge that runs Sun - Frid, so will be doing shoulders & arms tomorrow with ARX.0 -

Sarah, don't quit. remember there are ways to modify everything. If you're not quite ready for plyo, try cardioX it's still tough, just not as intense as plyo, and when you are ready, move up to plyo. It still kills me every time. jus modify every thing. and if you're going to the gym, take your workout sheets with you and try some of the exercises on your own terms (just watch the dvd's first and make sketches of the ones you might forget-stick figures work for me). Try it for a few more days. The soreness is the DOMS-delayed onset muscle soreness and means that you broke down muscle fibres and your body is repairing them. the first time I did plyo, I was sore for about 5 days...but keep moving and that soreness will abate and you'll be ready again. Keep trying!

its a cardio day for me. I go over to my 'rents and make my mom and sister workout with me once a week. The Spartacus workout is on the docket this morning, and mabe kenpo if I can convince my sister to do it. (we'll just skip the warm up as well have already done the Spartacus!

Day 1- Chest and Back, AB Ripper X
That was brutal! I'm definitely not fit enough for this, and it didn't help that I didn't have the right equipment. I couldn't even finish.
The upper body workouts will be the hardest for me. I will keep going, though, and finish whatever I can. I'll probably work out in the morning when I have more energy. I'm also going to buy a mat and pull up bar. Better luck tomorrow! Plyometrics seems a lot more doable for me.
We need you don't leave us. :frown:0 -

Thank you so much Katy, this means a lot to me. I guess I was just up too late last night thinking "I can't". I knew I joined this group for a reason. I suppose I can stick with it and power through. Again, thanks! :flowerforyou:

Dont quit, this workout is ment to be tough and hard, especially when just starting out. The first day i did plyometrics i seriously could not make it past the dam warm up. But i kept up with everything as best i could and did MY best. Each week it got a little better and better. Now im almost to week 5 and im able to get through all of the workouts (with little breaks here and there) but i look back at it and i am sooooo glad i didnt cave.....Just remember, you are worth the work. Go at your pace, do what you can do and forget the rest.0 -
That's awesome that you going to keep fighting .Shows true grit and spirit .we are all on that journey .Stay strong:)0

Kenpo X DONE!!

Kenpo X = Done! It is my favorite!0

Sarah, I'm glad you're staying on:flowerforyou: keep fighting!
Went over to my mom's and made my sister do Spartacus with me all 3 times through, then jumped right into kenpoX today. Skipped the warm-up, since I figure, that was Spartacus LOL. 80 min of sweat, and some family drama thrown in for flava...
then it was off to the city with my 5yo to look for a new swimsuit for this mama. Note to self-NEVER take a small child shopping ever again.
We both survived, all thanks to Lego...and some chocolate0 -
Day 7 the last day....Rest or Stretch~~~> i'll be stretching later, can't wait I need it.
Hope everyone is having a Happy Sunday! and getting ready for the 2nd week

Thank you, this means a lot to me. I'm glad we're all here to support each other. I'm definitely not going to quit because of all of your kind words.0 -
Finally pulled myself together and did X Stretch...Week 1 COMPLETED! I liked the Stretch it made me feel refreshed!0

active rest day at the zoo! walking for about an hour, then shopping and stuff. fast food on the way home, A&W, I love you. not again for a long long time though. thank goodness I only measure every 2 weeks-I have 1 more to go to unload this sodium and bread bloat and eat clean clean clean!
Stretch or the like tomorrow, my hammies are TIGHT!0
