The Original Power 90 Check In?

roylawrence87

Glad you guys are still at it! Use Power 90 as a stepping stone. It worked for me. I have completed one round of Power 90 and 2 rounds of P90X. I now take Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsui as well as doing P90X for strength training. I know this program works so stick with it!

What's the best way to add the power 90 workout to the fitness pal?

lobster888

Good Morning all,

Trying to get back into it. I am doing a running program to prepare for a 10K at he end of April. So with that and my regular classes at the gym and my new walking program with the ladies in my neighborhood I been really busy. But on the mornings I am not running - I will do the power 1/2 program. So that will be about three times a week right now.

So I did the power 1/2 arms this morning. Felt pretty good ... I miss it. So here's to back to Power 90!!!

Hope everyone is doing good!!!

There doesn't seem to be a way to enter a custom workout like the ones provided in the dvd's...

Actually, you can. Go to the exercise tab and click on My Exercies. There you can select Create Exercise and create an exercise based on the workout dvd you used. This is what I did for 30 Day Shred and my P90X DVDs. I name the exercise the same as the workout dvd, put in the length of the workout, then enter my calories burned from my HRM.

Morning all, today I will try to get in my power 1/2 of abs - I took a ab class on Tuesday at the gym and it was a killer. So, I figure that tonight would be a good night to do it. (one day of rest) I did my run program yesterday morning and I also walked last night. so I am trying to keep up...

Keep pushing play!!!

Morning all, still doing my running program - ready to add power 90 back into my plan. Got up this morning and did the power half hour ab routine. Then did 20min of running on treadmill. (slow pace) . So my new plan is to do power 1/2 every day this week (except Sunday) and fit in my running. I should do at least 30min of running too. Then next week I will add some other tapes - maybe level 1/2 of power 90?? I will see how it feels. Maybe able to move up fast .. maybe not. But for now, that is my new plan.

So day 1 of 90 plan (not the regular plan - but a plan of power 90-power half/hour-power master series) I should be checking often because it helps keep me motivated!!!

Anyone else out there starting anything?? Need some support and motivation!!!!!

I started Power 90 today. I'm having a hard time with figuring out how many calories I burned. It's not in the database and I don't have a heart monitor yet. Any ideas about the average calories burned with sculpt and cardio 1-2? Thanks!!!

lobster888

I logged my in under circut training general. I used the exact amount of the timed DVD - it changes depending on which one you do. I have a HRM and it was pretty close to the same reading. I was very disappointed because it seemed low - but since both gave me about the same I figured it was close. I figured that it kinda will all even out. I know some days I work harder - the sweat dvd but then maybe not as hard on others sculpt. I just use it as a base. I figure the the extra calories I burn that are not logged make up for that bite of my husband dessert I didn't log either!!! LOL

Day 2 for power 1/2 - I did thigh burner this morning and I also did 30 min on the treadmill. I was also able to get in a walk with the hubby last night.

I made a egg white omelette for breakfast and packed a nice healthy salad and snack. So my day is off to a good start. If I can get in my spin class tonight - I will be happy!!! (i missed last week)

Keep pushing play!!!!!

Lobster888 I started the Power 90 system Monday as well. I have been dieting and working out since the end of January and have lost about 20 pounds since then. I have been mostly running on the treadmill 4 to 5 nights a week for about 3.5 miles, and upper body lifting two nights a week, but not getting the results I want so I thought I'd give this a try. I am presently at 264 pounds (lost a pound already since Sunday) and am hoping I can burn more this way than running alone. I hate those legs through the arm stretch too, I get the leg up as far as I can then step back with the back leg to get the 90 degree front leg (my little cheat). I'm doing it on carpet and my shoes are too grippy to slide around so I have to do a lot of adjusting my feet which is annoying and throws me out of rhythm with the people on the show, but I will be moving to the basement cement shortly so hopefully that will help there. Keep up the good work everyone and I will try to check in regularly on this topic often.

lobster888

Hey everyone - Day 3 sculpt - done

bensford66 - Sounds liek you are on the right track. Running is great for cardio and to lose weight but strength training can build muscel and really help get you where you want to be. At least that has been my experience. Your program sounds great.

I think everyone hates those leg though the arms things haha - If my son had video my first time trying - he would have won funniest home video's!!!!!

Have a happy healthy day!!!

stgipson

Hey everyone day 2 p90 cardio/abs 100 it was a butt kicker for me but I did it and I feel it all over. Still going strong on the diet I wish they had power 90 in the exercise database so you could put it down in your diary but generic info is ok to anyway talk to ya'll later.

Just push play !!!

stgipson

Day 3 circuit 1-2 went good was able to do everything ( push-ups and dips) but was able to do everything else feel good now off to the showers and work have a great day everyone.

Just push play and bring it.

lobster888

Way to go Stgipson!! I have trouble with those dips too!!! I usually have to bend one leg for the few reps.!!!
Day 4 - I did the fat burn express for the sweat dvd today!! Had a good workout.

Just finished my larabar and a cup a coffee and ready for my day at work - then off for three day ...Yeah!!!

May not touch base until Monday--- lots to do!

Have a happy healthy weekend!!!

Keep pushing play!!!!

stgipson

Day 4 cardio 1-2 another butt kicker but its done now on with the day have a great day everyone.

Just push play!!!

stgipson

Hey everyone just did Day 5 scuplt 1-2 power 90 it was to bad still not able to do the dips I was able to do a few push-ups not very many but it will get better yesterday was my day of rest not going to to say its easy but it is getting better and can do more and more each time I work-out. Well hope everyone else is doing well talk to you soon.

Just push play !!!

lobster888

Happy Monday!! Well I was able to push play on Friday - Walked on Saturday (4 miles) and took Sunday off! (unless you count chasing Godchildren around working out!!!)

Completed day 6 Power 90 MS 5/6 this morning!!!

I agree stgipson, it gets a little easier each time you do it. I can push myself a little each time. It's not easy - but I guess it not suppose to be!!!! I use different weights for different exercises - some I use a higher weight some i use a lower weight. But I do try to do all the reps.

Keep pushing play!!!

I'm one day 21 rest day today. I'm looking at my Power 90 calendar and thinking of that day 30 photo day. I'm hoping to see some improvements, so I'm really sticking to my guns as far as calorie tracking and following the workouts goes for the next 10 days.

I can't believe I'm only on day 21 because although I haven't lost significant weight, I feel stronger when I wake up every day.

Wish me luck, and good work everyone!
