    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!

    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!!!

    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)
