The Original Power 90 Check In?

Day 1 is done. It's very different from P90X. I think this will be perfect to get back into shape before retrying X again.

Good Morning ,
A quick check in to hold myself accountable - Sculpt done!! Lunch packed w/ good clean stuff and we're off to a good start.

Hope Everybody has a smile on their face to great the day - make it a good one,
Janet

Hi guys!! Welcome to the program! Its awesome! Next month I'll start P90x!

TIps for the newbies.
Pack your lunch everyday and plan each meal.
Stop eating fast food all together. Sodas too.
Set aside a rest day. (this is not a cheat day)
Try to push yourself everyday. You will not be able to do it all on day one. You must build up to it.
Its hard. Don't give up.

Anymore questions, holler at me.
Life is worth living, so live well and happy.

I just ordered power 90 and can't wait to get started!! Is anyone just starting or ready to do it again? Any tips?

Thanks for the tips roylawrence - I already do the tips except I have a cheat day - but I knew I had to get rid of that when I start Power 90. So I am ready! I have been doing the 30 day shred, the biggest loser boot camp and I run, so I think I am somewhat prepared for power 90! Thanks for the response !

Welcome! I went through the same thing u are. U will get the hang of it. It is a process. If you could do all of, this wouldn't be the right program for u. Ur on the right track, just keep it up!

O.K. Today was day 2 of my power 90 - did the sweat 1 -2 . Took it easy like they said and was able to do the whole thing at a good level. I jsut hope I can stay motivated because I like changing things up a little more - but I am determined to see this through and hopefully lose those pesty 10 pounds by the end of 90 days. I am also following the meal plan - prettymuch what I do anyway!!! Any tips and advice welcomed!!!!

I didn't take any supplements and I got good results. I just worked hard and ate right. I'm gonna take supplements when I start p90x though. It's much more intense.

Thanks, I think I going to skip the supplements this time and but stick to a good eating plan. I also think I am going to follow msarro and do the 30 day - level 1-2 then 30 level 3-4 and order the master series to the next 30 days at 5-6 . That sounds pretty good to me!!! I will do the first 30 and then order the masters ... that's my plan. So did you guys do any other exercise while doing power 90? the gym, runnning, other dvd's. I had been taking classes at the gym and I run. I was going to give the power 90 a week by itself and then see. Any advice? What about just walking - I also do that quite a bit in the evenings ....

I'm also running every other day (usually) and doing 10k training. Only other thing is that I'm doing the ab-ripper workout every day as opposed to every other day because you can't really overwork your core.

One other thing: using a whey protein/creatine supplement daily to help muscle gain/performance. Plus I don't eat meat, so I need the extra protein.

Thanks ! I was thinking of doing the abs everyday, as a woman your abs can't be tone or flat enough. LOL I will see how I feel next week and probably add back in some other exercise when I feel it will benifit me. I will keep up with the walking because I know that I can handle that and power 90 without any problems. I just don't want to over do it or burn myself out. I want to concentrate on power 90 the first time I do it. I really want to do it the whole 90 days and not give up or quit.

Hey Dragonfly,

I have just started so you can jump right back on the wagon with me. I just finished my third day ! yeah!! I am going to need support to finish me to the end - I really want to complete 90 days!!

Hope everyone has a great healthy day!!!

Day 4 finished!!! I love putting that check mark on my calander! I got in a very brisk walk last night. (trying to beat the rain) LOL So I am feeling pretty good about the power 90 series. My eating is on track - but I found myself a little more hungry than usual - so I will work on that and figure it out. (maybe more protein? )

Good luck everyone!!!

There are a bunch of us on the Beachbody Power 90 board that started in May "Calling all Peeps"
Please come join us! We're doing great, and welcome new folks!

Hi All,
I have taken a full week OFF of exercise - WHAT IS MY PROBLEM??? Man am I feeling it. Please do not do what I've done and deprive yourselves of exercise - I can't remember when I've done this since MFP ~ it's made fitness part of my life. I feel like the not smoking has done something to my metabolism and my attitude and i'm having a real hard time getting it together - I also got a hair cut and that makes it more to deal with after I work out. I sweat alot and my hair is usually soaked!. This means I've had to move my work out to evenings and I haven't been able to get my attitude adjusted to work out in the evening.. Jut too tired after work..
Whine, whine,whine....... I hate it!!
PLease some one say something motivating to help me snap back into reality - i majorly need a solution.

Thanks for the support,
j

Come on Dragonfly - you can do it!!!!! I know you have it in you. I just finished by 6th day of power 90 for the first time. You know how much better you will feel - emotionally and physically!!! Make a promise to get it done!!! Set small goals and rewards for starting back - it helps me.

I am going to be checking on you - so you have to answer to someone if you don't exercise. - LOL Once you start up again - then there will be no stopping you!!! So just put in the tape and press play!!!

I will check on you tomorrow and remind you of your goals!!!!!
