New Round of P90X!

Had a migraine headache yesterday so I ended up doing nothing. Still feeling the headache a bit today but it is better. We'll see how I feel this afternoon when I get home from work. Sitting in front of a computer all day is not helping.
I'm repeating a week so this is technically my 4th week. I feel a difference already in muscle definition although my scale hasn't indicated much change in body fat or muscle % (but those are not the most accurate measurements due to body water). I have to eat a LOT more to keep my weight from dropping, usually close to 3000 calories a day. My reps & weights used are slowly increasing - to the point that my existing weights are not heavy enough for several exercises. I think we will upgrade to the adjustable Bowflex dumbbells that go up to 90 lbs. Just waiting for any discount.0 -
Day 11/90 done (yesterday). Did my second go at Yoga and was AMAZED at how much I could do this week as opposed to last. I held the wheel AND crane (not for the whole time mind you, but I DID get into position for both) and definitely felt much more flexible and strong during the yoga moves.
Day 12/90 tonight and I have legs & back. Those wall squats are killer! lol0 -
Those wall squats are killer! lol
I love the wall squats! I do one every night and challenge myself to hold it a little longer. I'm up to 3-1/2 minutes without moving. Hoping to be at 4 minutes by the end of the week.0 -
Im on week 7, round 6.0
-
Day 4/90 - Yoga X done0
-
Morning! Yoga done. I did the Fountain of Youth and it was good but I have pretty bad carpal tunnel in my right hand and even push ups are uncomfortable so doing the vinyasas wasn't too good. I'm thinking I might either do some Brazil Butt Lift High & Tight (my problem area) on Thursdays or Cardio X.
Oh yeah.....................HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Hope everyone has a good day!0 -
Happy Valentine's Day! Getting ready to do legs/back, woohoo! Almost done with week 5 and feeling great!0
-
Day 5/90 - Legs and back done!0
-
Chest & Back - DONE0

Happy Friday everyone! It was supposed to be Kenpo today, but I wasn't feeling it and did Cardio X instead. Also, I'm down 2 lbs this week!0
-
Day 6/90 - kenpo x done!0
-
Shoulders and Arms - DONE
Yesterday was supposed to be an off day, but my wife talked me into doing one of her Insanity DVDs. It was pretty tough, even for a "recovery week" workout0 -
Day 8/90 - Chest, back and abs done!0
-
Anybody have one of those weeks where you totally get off track? That was me last week. I did the Chest & Back last Monday but the rest of the week I had bad headaches and pain/tightness going down both sides of my neck and into my shoulders. I don't know what I did but it felt like hot wires going down my neck with lots of spasms. I didn't feel better until Saturday. I felt great yesterday and even went out mountain biking for close to 10 miles.
I'm going to get back into it today and probably reduce the intensity a little. I'm thinking about just starting over from day 1 due to missing so many workouts over the past 2 weeks.0 -
Kenpo X - DONE! Also did One-on-One Cardio Intervals. I'm off work today so I figured I might as well crank out some extra cardio0
-
Good morning! Sorry I was MIA this weekend; lots going on. But be assured, I got in my workouts! I am however, not happy with my eating this weekend! Ugghhh! Not complete crap but not totally clean either!
This is my recovery week before starting phase II but I will be doing some kickboxing and then I also have my P90X classes that I teach too. Keeping in the back of my mind that I have to be in a bikini next month!!! Aaaaahhhhh!!!!! :frown:
timeasterday: I hope you're feeling better! That didn't sound good at all! Did you ever figure out what it was?0 -

No, I'm not sure what happened. Maybe I strained something in my neck. A hot pad and lots of rest seemed to help loosen it up. I'm ready to go this week!0 -
Good for you, I started last year in April my starting weight was 149lbs, I am now 131lbs and I am 47 years old! So keep up the good work!0

Awesome results!!! So, are you starting another round?0 -
Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps - DONE0

I am mid week 3 in Phase 1 of P90x. I'm a couple days shy of recovery week.
So far I have lost 0lbs and my pictures still look the same.
I haven't missed a single workout and my eating has been on target and is 40/40/20 which i found do-able.
I've seen so many great starts to transformations by Day 30 and here I am, and it's not happening.
Did anyone else not see any results by Day 30?0 -
Day 9/90 - plyo X done! A tenth of the way there. After a round of ice skating this morning, it took a lot of motivation to push play today. I'm so happy I have a group here to keep me motivated.0
-
great job Nate! Plyo is a killer eh? I love it though. Makes you feel like you're really doing something! I have Yoga tonight.....hahaha ;/0
-
Hey guys! Well, I'm technically in my recovery week. However, I still teach classes 4x per week and two of those are P90X! So, I'm still getting in some workouts other than yoga. Last night I did Combat Power Kata 45! LOVE that workout! Keep in mind folks....I have to be in a bikini in March so this body's gotta keep moving!
MissAnjy: Keep going girl. Everyone is different. I know some people who didn't see major results until the last month. You will! Sounds like you've got everything under control! Keep up the good work!
Nate: Woo hoo! Gotta love plyo! Keep pushing play!0 -
I completed a round of P90x and a round of P90x2 last year. Injured my middle finger, and waited in a splint just
doing cardio for it to heal for about 12 weeks. Hope I'm not too late...I started my new round on Feb. 11. I will
be subing in p90x2 Yoga for the original. It's only around an hour long.
I feared the soreness and it hit my HARD after chest and back on day one. I wasn't paying much attention to form
on my push ups...and I paid the price with soreness in my scapula and Lats(me thinks) equally on both sides. I gutted
out the first week anyway... no quit in me !! I went searching and found some stretching exercises for my trouble areas.
I'm pleased to say that my soreness was almost zero after chest and back for the 2nd week. I managed to increase
my push up total by 10 even !
I punched the ticket on Plyo yesterday, and find myself really looking forward to Shoulders and Arms today. I fairly well
stunk up the joint with the ab/ripper last week...better somewhat on Monday.
My goal is to get even with my finishing numbers in my P90x 1st round last year ASAP. Even with 12 weeks of no strength training, I'm still starting from a better place than last year !! Good Luck Everbody !!0 -
@ MissAnjy and ddavies - Thanks for the encouragement. I have a love/hate relationship with plyo.
No extra motivation needed for today, though. Arms, shoulders and abs done! Day 10/90.0 -
Back & Biceps - DONE
And I'm only 4 pounds away from my goal
That might get adjusted somewhat once I reach it, but I'm feeling pretty good about my progress so far. 0 -
Good morning! Well, last night I had a great P90X class! It's a total body workout, even including some Kenpo and plyo! It's like the X all rolled into one! I love teaching it!
Today I teach again and tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to phase II! I just love lifting!
lars: Welcome! Congrats on your first round! It sounds like you're doing great the second go around! Please stay and join the group! Let us know how you do!
razor: I wish I was only 4lbs away from my goal! lol Way to go! Keep it up!
Have a great day everyone and stay focused on those results!!!0 -
Hello everyone!
Hope I can join in. I started P90X again on 2/12/13 and began week 2 yesterday. I'm still trying to get the nutrition down as far as macronutrients go. The first few times I attempted the program I didn't follow the nutrition plan very closely. I am DETERMINED to get it right this time, so any advice would be appreciated!0 -
last night I completed Yoga X for the 3rd time. It doesn't go any faster lol
I still have trouble with some of the half moon and standing splits. I'm not all that great at balance moves either. I have however mastered the wheel, which is awesome. No big surprise though, I was in gymnastics when I was young and did that ALL THE TIME (and so easily too). We called it "the Bridge" back then! It was tough the first week and was a no-can-do, but second and third week I was able to. Second week I held crane for a couple seconds. Yesterday (third week) I held it, but only briefly and then crashed hard on to my head/face. Not a good scene LOL
It's amazing how much more flexible I am already though!
Tonight is legs and back. This one always kills me. I have jelly legs for a couple hours after usually!! Can't wait though because after tonight and tomorrow, I'm officially in "recovery week" and near the end of Phase 1!!! Can't wait to dive into the next 30 days.0
