The Original Power 90 Check In?

Hi I am doing the p90 without the X too. The original. Was there another thread?

Thank god for the rest day. Its so draining to do this everyday but still seeing a little improvement each time. Im realizing supplements are probably a good idea, so I ordered some pills to help muscle recovery. Im starting with those tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes. Im on day 10, level 1/2 about 85%. I've lost 4 pounds already!

Four ibs in one week! Awesome! I started last week on p90. I used this dvd several years ago after my first child and saw pretty good results. It's time to start it up again! I am also trying to walk/jog during the week, and I am excited to have another group of people doing this workout to hold me accountable! I think that is my problem. I do pretty well for several days, life gets busy and I get out of the routine. So, my hope is, that by checking in here, it will keep me on track! Thanks for starting this up!

2lbs this week....I will keep pushin play

Im here and into week 4. Lost 8 lbs total and 3 inches off waist. I added Hip Hop Abs to routine fro extra cardio

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to the website. I just started working out at home 2 1/2 weeks ago. I'm wanting to start a beachbody dvd. I'm debating on which one to do. It sounsd like you guys think Power 90 is a good one. That is the one I was thinking about. Can you guys tell me anything about it? Is it weights or cardio? What is it like? One dvd a week or what kind of routines do they have you do? How long are the exercises each day or week? Very curious! Thanks SO MUCH!

For those wondering about Power 90 here is a link to user reviews which also describes the workouts. that website has reviews for a ton of other videos too.

Bump! First week in and I can already see and feel the difference. I went from eating fast food to eating an almost vegan diet(eggs). Its doing pretty good. My pants are loose! Never thought soreness could be so good!

You're doing great so far! That's such a fantastic change, eating wise - I definitely commend anyone that can keep up an almost vegan diet! I love food way too much to be able to do that lol.

jwilli, thanks for that link - I had seen it before when I was doing research, it has a lot of good info.

I should be getting P90 sometime this week, I will post once I get it/get my first workout in!

Have a great week everyone!

Hey guys! According to the UPS website, Power 90 should be delivered today! I'm so excited. I will post later tonight after my first workout...it doesn't matter what day I start it, right? I'd rather start tonight than wait until Monday!

Woo hoo! Just got done with my first workout and I feel amazing! I took my before pictures and took my measurements before hand so I'm good to go. I'm really excited to see my results at the end of this thing.

Hope everyone has a great night!

Well I’m still here! 2nd week using level 3 DVD’s. week 7 total. I did cheat the last two weeks, and I will tell you why.

LEVEL 3 SCULPT IS NO JOKE!

I was really sore after day 2. On days 3 and 4 I was just going through the motions and felt like crap all day. I took extra rest on days 5 and 6 because my "body told me" I had nothing left. The 2nd week of level 3, I did 2 days on, 1 day rest, 3 days on, 1 day rest. I didn't feel so crappy and I feel like I'm ready to go all week next week. I counted up the total number of squats and lunges for the level 3 sculpt and came up with 160. The cardio is pretty much the same as dvd 1 but longer. Its just really hard to do a decent kick when your legs are jello from the day before. I have cut out the side hops all together and I either sub fast feet or jumping jacks. I find that more beneficial than the sub tony shows which is just side steps. If you are heavy like me cross hops are just a lot of strain on the knees and I would recommend that you sub them and also take it easy the first couple of weeks with the jumping jacks, concentrating on good form. I find its actually harder to do jacks slow, because your muscles are constantly flexing, so you will feel the burn Take a rest and deep breath at top if you need it. I like what tony says if it doesn't feel right, listen to your body. Right now my body says yeeeeeeeeee-hawwww its rest day tomorrow and I feel STRONG LIKE AN OX!

ps. If I was going to do it over again I would probably do sculpt 3 for the first time right before a rest day. I tried to do it on day 1 and it messed up my week. Maybe do that for two weeks then start adding the extra level 3 days mixed with level 1 thoughout the week.

Hey everyone, I have switched to p90x. Been doing it 1 week and so enjoying it. In fact enjoying it so much I join to be a coach. I have lost 16 lbs and 23 inches so far since doing Power 90 and p90x since Jan 11th.

I have only lost 5 pounds on P90 so far but I was active before and already lost the "easy" pounds. but I dropped an additional 2 inches in pant size and have added alot of muscle weight I think. the mirror doesn't lie.

Dang gentlemen, you are doing amazing!

Dragonfly - that's great! I do believe that I may become a coach as well once I get in tip top shape

I decided to just re-start since I had missed too many days in a row. Got Day 2 done last night - I can't believe how much strength even a sinus infection can zap out of you! I originally started with 8 lb. weights and moved up to 10 because the 8's were getting too easy.

I did sculpt last night and I could barely lift my 5 lb. weights! Oh well, at least I got through it!

I also agree that the mirror doesn't lie...unless you have one of those weird funhouse mirrors!
My clothes got a little more loose too, enough that I had to go buy new jeans just so they'd fit in the rear end! I don't have a butt to begin with, so that's the first place to show. :blushing: haha TMI eh?

Hope everyone has a fantastic Thursday!
