    Shoulders & Arms - DONE.

    Did 2 more sets of Shoulders/Biceps/Triceps after the DVD was done too. I'll probably feel that in my shoulder tomorrow

    Okay, so I bought p90x a couple years ago, but have never even popped in a dvd. I think I have been too intimidated by it. I would really like to try the program, and I would love a support system.

    It's not that bad once you get into it. I went through each DVD once just to get a feel for the moves. Then I started in earnest.

    Good luck!

    Oh yeah, Kenpo X - DONE.

    I was supposed to do Plyo but after a poor night's sleep didn't feel up to it. So I subbed in Kenpo. I might add a 10 Minute Cardio tonight after work

    Welcome! Don't be intimidated, it really isn't that bad, it's actually fun and a great workout. Your first week will be tough but do what you can and don't try to match Tony and the gang on the numbers because you will get stronger!

    When do you plan on starting? We'll be here for ya when you do! Go get it girl!

    Plyometrics done! Not sure if it was a good idea to workout before heading into work today, but at least I will get tobed at a decent time tonight!
    I also went to the store and stocked up on good, clean foods.

    Hi, I hope I can still join even though I will be behind. I am starting today, P90X Classic. I got through to week 9 a few months ago and then sprained my ankle very bad while running. I lost a lot of my motivation after that and I feel like I am about to be dissappointed with how weak I have become compared to where I was a few months ago. I just have to give that up and get on with it. I am looking forward to having a group to check in with and to have help keeping motivated. Anyway good luck to you all, it's a great program.

    I'm on week six now ( going into phase two in one week. P90 x has definitely changed my body in 6 weeks. The yoga( although I have never taken a class ) is too easy for me I think. Yet Kenpox feels like I'm windmilling in all directions lol. I like to burn at least 500 calories a work out so . I skip stretch on rest day sometimes, but yoga and Kenpox days I hit the gym an extra hour lifting weights. Now the ab ripper I HATE IT..... But I love it.

    Just finished Chest and Back and Ab Ribber. Wow! It was tougher than I remember especially the Dive Bombers. I can't believe I used to do 10 of those, I barely did 1 today. But I feel great because I got up off my butt and did it!

    Wow! Look at the activity here! I love it! Welcome to everyone who's just joining us! Please stick around, share your journey with everyone!

    @Eafears: I hear ya! I just started week 3 but I haven't done P90X in well over a year and I agree with you; that first workout was harder than I remember! lol Way to push through!

    Remember for those that are in Phase I, protein, protein, protein! Drink lots of water too! You can't get results without the nutrition part of it!

    Keep bringing it!

    Hello Everyone,

    I have maybe little bit off the topic question but it is very important for me. I am in P90X program - Day 1. I think I missed something or so but I do not understand whether I can eat less than what is in the nutrition plan.
    To be honest, I have tried today to eat as much as written in the guide but I just simply couldn't eat it all.

    I now I am big guy - Level III but ...

    Any Ideas???

    Chest & Back + Ab Ribber X done! I did a little extra credit today and worked on some negatives with the pullup bar to build strength. Even did some swings with my Ultimate Sandbag and squats for fun.

    @ mdz79 - I would watch your calories and energy levels. I am actually eating fewer calories on P90X than MFP recommends, but yet I have more energy than before, so I am not that worried about it. If you have enough energy to do everything, including the workout, you are probably fine.

    If you did the calculations in the guide book, then I would stick to it as closely as possible. Now, you don't have to eat exactly what they have laid out, but just make sure your ratios are on track. If you have the energy to get through the workouts, you should be fine. It's when you "bonk" that's no good! That's when you know you need to up the calories (the right calories of course). Hang in there and take a look at it again in a couple of weeks, let your body adjust.

    Been running around all day so I got a late work out in, but Day 2 Plyo is done! I think with this being my second go at it, Plyo was so much better today. I wasn't so concerned with getting the moves down as I was with working on landing softly and it made it easier to get through plus i still burned 600 cals. I'm good with that. Hope everyone had a great day.

    Shoulder & Arms & Abs done!!! Love, love, love this workout! I even increased my weight on most moves! Also, I've been drinking a whey protein before my workout; more beneficial than post workout! Feeling good!

    This morning, I put on a button up shirt and the sleeves are a tad bit snug!!! Love it!!!! :bigsmile:

    Man, you guys are rockin it!! Everyone starting to see some results or any progress made? Hope you're all using your workout sheets!

    Have a great day! I'll be increasing my calories today since I teach yet again tonight! Sooooo looking forward to recovery week next week! And then, on to phase II already! Bring it!!!!
