Great workout today - Legs & Back !! Ab Ripper was tough on me though! I may try AR-X again tonight, as I didn't get through the whole thing & I really had a tough time getting through the part that I did do. We'll see! :laugh:
Thanks for saying that!! It's good to know that I'm not alone! I was really wondering what was wrong with me!0 -
Thanks pjilly! I am realizing that I need to just buckle down and log everything again! Planning and logging got lost over the last few months. I really appreciate your input!:flowerforyou:0

Hey ladies! Nice job on making the time to get those workouts in!
I'm finishing up Week 4 which is "recovery week". Core Synergistics is tough! I like it though, because it works everything basically. I also went for a 4.5 mile run yesterday (good stress reliever). I have yoga tonight which will feel nice on my tight muscles.
For nutrition, I am not following the P90x diet but I did up my protein and cut back on carbs (I was wayyyyyy high on carbs). It seems to be working for me. I also found that I wasn't eating ENOUGH so make sure you are fueling your body!0 -
I think I definitely wasn't eating enough in the beginning--which helped fuel my de-railment. I am good at getting way too many carbs too which is definitely one of my problems. Thanks for the input.0

Cardio today was great! Still have a run this afternoon and hoping it doesn't rain the whole time. Hope everyone has a great workout today!0

Whew, I made it through Plyo. It gets easier in some ways, but my energy level today wasn't quite where it usually is. I think it's because I worked out a little later than usual (darned work anyway interfering with my workouts) and if there's ever a workout where you need your energy, it's Plyo!
On that note, I am going to go eat a nice lunch. See ya!0 -
I was supposed to do Kenpo tonight. I did Cardio x instead. I just don't feel like I am working hard enough with Kenpo. Some people really love it. Do you think that Cardio X is a good substitute, or I am sabotaging my workout?? Thanks guys!!

Besides Plyo I burn the most calories with Kenpo. Do you really work it during the video? Really throwing the punches with force without over-extending your arms? However how you feel with Kenpo is how I feel with Yoga. I find the Yoga a complete waste of time lol0

I feel like I "work it" lol. Maybe I am just spoiled because I want to be dripping with sweat and almost dead to feel like I got a workout, maybe that is not the way to be. I will try to really get into it next time, and see if I can not make it work for me. Thanks for the reply0 -
Posted this on my other P90x topic page...In case you're not on Facebook, Tony posted his second (of 5) videos on the P90x FB page. Here's the link: http://www.wesh.com/health/23291685/detail.html You can watch the two available posted videos there.0

I just finished my third time doing the killer abs in 350 moves or less lol. The first time I did it I felt really old as I was hurting for a few days after. I do have a question though.. why is that part of the exercise not counted on the calories lost portion of myfitnesspal? I am in like flynn with all you p90x'ers! Lovin it and wanting to be see results Good luck everyone!!!0

Skipped Yoga and did advanced Pilates instead. One day I may enjoy Yoga. Right now any exercise I have to force myself to do is not a good one. I coach baseball tonight and I will run on my elliptical too. Hope you all have a good workout today0

Shoulders & Arms with Abs today. I ran a mile before working out just to warm up some. I enjoy the shoulders and arms workout but still feel really inadequate when it comes to the Ab workout. I'm lucky if I can do 10 reps on some of the moves! I don't know if I'm just really weak or if I'm not trying enough...its really frustrating. I know I should be satisfied with what I can do now and just keep pushing myself for more.0

That is probably true. I didn't think of it that way. I try to overdo it sometimes.
Thanks,

I think it was by week 3 I was able to do the leg climbs with some effort lol I was so excited. Keep trying and it will get easier0 -

LOL The mile is the easy part for me! I may try and switch it up on friday and do the ab workout first then legs and see if I want to run afterward (on leg day I'm ususally walking but this week got screwed up).
Thanks for the encouragement and input! It really helps!0 -
Woke up feeling not quite right. Did 49 min of Legs and Back and finally shut it off as I felt sick. If I feel better later on I will do Ab Ripper but if not I won't be upset about it. I think some days you need a rest and I have been going hard for so long one day wont kill me. I still burned 299 calories with Legs and Back. Hope you all have a good workout today0

Today is Yoga for me. I'll probably do it pretty soon, as I have a lot I want to get done today. I want to give both our dogs baths and then groom them as much as possible. They're Shelties, so there's plenty to groom! Then my son has his last physical therapy appointment early this afternoon (he had knee surgery in February). After that, I want to go visit our horse and give her some lovings and maybe sneak in a ride. It's a beautiful sunny day today, and it should hit about 70 degrees this afternoon. Spring is finally here! :happy:
Have great workouts today, everybody!0 -
Yoga for me today was great. I was a little sore before I started but once I was in the groove, I felt much better! Hope everyone had a great day and workout!!0
-
I also woke up today not feeling quite 100%. I did 45 min of Legs & Back and finally shut it off. I am debating about going to the doctor, I don't want to end up well into the weekend and be completely sick. Feels like it has moved from my head down into my lungs. :ohwell:0

Great Job mommyh!! That's awesome!
Legs & Back and Abs today. Legs & Back was great as always and I really tried to set a goal for myself on each move of the ab workout. I managed to reach my goals on all of them except roll-up/v-ups (this is still extremely difficult for me to maneuver). I think that I'll stick with this plan and inch my way up in reps each workout.
Hope everyone has great workouts today!!0 -
Just finished my Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X. For some reason, my lower back is a little sore, which made those Fifer Scissors even harder than usual!0

I suffer from lower back pain also (side effect from childbirth last year and I have already gone through 2 rounds of physical therapy, I just need a stronger core). I struggle with all of the ab exercises and some of them really bother me (Banana comes to mind). I try to do as much as I can, the Yoga helps to stretch everything out for me though.0 -
My "rest" day today. I coach little league and we have a tournament so not sure just how much "rest" I will get lol Then going camping for the night. Hope everyone has a good weekend Remember to keep hitting play and do your best and forget the rest0
-
So I should have done Kenpo today, but ended up spending 3 1/2 hours using the trimmer on the trees so will do Kenpo tomorrow.
Hope everyone had a great workout today!0
