P90X?

Tons of people have done it, including myself last year to get in shape for my wedding. Unfortunatley I fell completely off the wagon at the end of last year and am just climbing back on. I started my P90X again yesterday!! We can do it together!!!!

There are tons of people here that have or are doing it...myself included. I'm on Week 3. The hardest part I've found in the first phase is the diet. 50% protein calories is tough to do especially with low fat intake at 20%. If you can stick to this, it'll work. This program pushes you, gets your heart rate up, speeds up your metabolism, and changes your body to focus on protein for energy similar to Adkins but not as drastic and unhealthy. The diet is 80% of the program but the workouts are tough and flexible too.

Rachel - Congrats! I just started a week ago. It's great.

My best tip is: don't under-eat. They mention it in the guidebook - and they're not kidding; it's surprisingly easy to NOT eat enough calories - when you aren't eating pizza, doughnuts, or other calorie bombs. Today's my first day on MFP - which I signed-up for because I realized I had no real idea how much nutrition I am/am not getting. I was shocked to realize that - after eating 2 meals and a snack - I'd only hit about 1/3 of my daily nutritional requirements.

So, if you're sticking to healthy foods, MFP should be a great tool for you - I know it's made it very clear to me why I've been "bonking" about every third P90X workout! ("Bonking", if you haven't read the book yet, is when you are under-fueled and your body runs out of juice before it should. It's actually a good analogy - because it feels just like when a car runs out of gas: *shutter* *splutter* *fizzzzzzzzz*)

Good luck!!

I was thinking about trying it, because I have a friend that did it and she looks GREAT! Not only did she lose weight, but she really toned up. The only thing its expensive, and I dunno if I wanna spend the money on it??? Let me know how it goes...I am gonna befriend you so I can watch your journey with it!!!!

Try Ebay, Amazon, and other sites that sell it. I got Insanity for 65.00 on EBAY (no bootleg - factory sealed - seller had 100% positive rating...so this person had to be working for beachbody in order to have loads of it in stock).

I almost got P90X because I heard good stuff about it and my husband wanted it but than I found out about Insanity. Tougher than P90X (from what I heard) and you get results in 60 days vs 90. For about 3 weeks I was ify if I wanted to dish out the money but I'm glad I did. Check out my results either from my blog or photos.

It's only after one month & not following the food guide (really picky w/ food so I'm still in that learning process & experimenting w/ food)

Either way both programs seem to be truly awesome! So I say go for it!

I was going to build up my fitness level before getting Insanity but after a major breakdown doing a Jillian Micheal's dvd series I said screw you and your tiny body & turn to Shaun T. I have hip hop abs (but didn't follow through) & I like how he is as a fitness instructor. Another reason why I got insanity is because I noticed I was missing a hip hop abs dvd lol

plz add me as a friend if anyone want to do p90x together and keep each other motivated..i started on 8/6..and today was my 6th day of week 1

kempo x is crazzy!!!

Awesome..but if you started on the 6th and today is the 10th...how did you get to day 6 already?? I really want to know how you got 2 extra days since I can never get enough done in a 7 day week! LOL

i just started yesterday, good luck!!! hope i can make it through

This is the beginning of my third week on P90X Classic and I have lost 9.5 lbs ever since I started. I don't really follow the diet off of the book but I have established my own diet (i.e., no table sugars, processed foods, soft drinks, fatty oils etc). I drink plenty of water and I push myself through every workout. My body fat went from 30% to 21.9%.

Honestly, it's worth the money. I think I dry-heaved a little when I bought P90X at first :noway: , but I bought it from Walmart knowing that if I hated it or didn't use it I could return it. Then I discovered I used this video more than any other I've bought or borrowed in the past. You can always get a copy from Ebay or Craigslist too, save you a few bucks. Good luck!

I LOVE P90X!! I did it and got really in-shape. Unfortunitly, I had a hard time getting back to it when I got back from vacation. But I'm back, I'm doing my elliptical and the "stretch" of p90x this week and then next week I am starting p90x again.

khskr1...sorry for the typo..i started on 8/5, and today was my 7th day...did X-stretch today

Sent u a friend reuqest too...need loads of motivation and motivators to keep going!

I had to stop before finishing week 3. Got into a car accident, hurt my shoulder and neck and now I'm bummed because I don't know when I can get back to doing it.
