P90X Day 1 August 16th

Hello, my name is Joe, I am deployed in the middle east from another 4 months and I will be starting P90X on the 25th Or as soon as I get the heart rate monitor watch that my wife is sending me. I don't have much space and I'm really worried aout the diet part of P90X, I know it is a major part of the overall plan, you think if I just cut back on the amount of food I eat, it will still be ok? I wish you luck with the program, as well as myself, I never stuck with anything long enough to have it help becase of time being a factor, out here I hoping that won't be problem.

I did Legs and back Saturday and it was a good calorie burn. I am really wanting a workout to target my back because I HATE my back. Hopefully P90X will be exactly what I need. Everyone Keep up the good work!!

Good Luck, Susan!!! I'll be watching your progress, hoping someday I'll be able to get on the P90X bandwagon. I think it's just the kick in the @ss I need! :bigsmile:

All you guys/gals gotta do is Press Play First 2 weeks were a complete *kitten* kicker for me, sore ALL the time. Looked forward to day 7 because it was "just stretching" ... wow, bs on that one :P lol Now, after Day 1 Week 3, I'm actually looking forward to leaving work on-time to get home and do the videos. I enjoy the *kitten* kicking, makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something, and I judge how far I pushed myself the next morning on how sore I am. If I'm not sore enough, I just make sure to ... wow, can't believe a Tony-ism crept in, "Bring It" on the next work out.

Gotta admit, I was extremely skeptical when I bought P90X, thought all the forum posts and reviews were done by people on the Beachbody payroll, but man I'm glad I did get it and am doing the videos. Main thing is like I said in my first line, Press Play, stay focused, and (wow, another Tony-ism) do your best and forget the rest.

Also, remember you don't have to keep up with Tony and the gang, just do YOUR max reps, meaning until you cannot possibly do another one (Tony calls it muscle failure), believe me you'll catch up to Tony and "the kids" soon enough, today on Cardio X, I had to pause to do more reps, *thinks it's time to start adding some wrist/ankle weights*.

Danielle, I'm guessing you're doing the "Classic"? Just don't expect immediate results, gotta give it a couple of weeks and you'll start to see some subtle physical changes. At week 2 I was wanting to give up, the scale didn't show any weight loss, but one night I went to jump in the shower, and tripped over a rug, caught myself on the counter and I noticed ... THAT'S A TRICEP and a DELTOID!!! Since then, I've been amped to see exactly how P90X will make me look after 90 days. As I said above, keep pressing play =D

Kimberli11, I'd say it is about time to dust off those disks, maybe rearrange a little bit =P Get those disks in and get going! =D

Michelle, alot of the above applies to you seeing you're just starting. Invest in recovery drinks!! =P If you don't, ya can't say I didn't warn ya =D haha

Kath, sooner is better than later, but of course later is always better than never Hope those of us in this thread do motivate you to get the disks and get started.

Keep pressing play everyone.

Best of luck! 3x P90X grad here starting my second week of a P90X/Insanity hybrid. It just keeps getting better & better as you go along and so will you. You're gonna love it! :flowerforyou:

I started yesterday.. doing the classic version... so today is plyometrics (which I've heard is killer). Planning to take pics today before hand though so I can get staged pictures.
Is everyone also following the P90X nutrition plan? I'm not planning to, but am just making sure I keep the calories in check and eat fresh foods and lean meats. Also trying to make sure I get plenty of protein, which is usually a problem for me.

hey susan! ive been so busy this week i hadnt had time to read posts and see that you did start p90x YAY!! you go girl!! today is rest day for me....which im soo happy about. we just finished week 3 and i am tired! it has been tough!

as far as diet goes..im not following their diet. but the way i see it..its all about calories in vs calories out right? i think if you are monitoring your calorie intake and working out you are bound to lose weight...maybe that means you dont come out ripped...but for someone my size..it will take a lot more than 90 days to get ripped LOL.

So Plyo was difficult and I'm definitely feeling it in my calves. But I did arms, shoulders, and ab ripper today. Ab Ripper was soo difficult as they still ached from tuesday's ab ripper session lol.

Good luck with that!! I'm on Day #6 of Week #10. I have certainly noticed a change in my stamina and energy. The scale and inches aren't cooperating... but my body is just weird. (yes, lots of fluid, good on calories, good on fiber, good on sugar, good on sleep, good on everything....)

Keep it up!! I am starting ChaLEAN Extreme in two weeks!

LOL..I think I may have more room then you... I have started eating smaller partions, buy the food is just there and some time, its all I could do to avoid the food because of bordom. my family has come though by sending me healthy snacks. My new start date is going to be around the 5 of Sept, still waiting on the HRM watch as other equipment.

So I LOVED the second half of the Yoga X video... stretching was AWESOME and so greatly needed for my sore muscles. First half of the video... I started to hate Vinyasas lol. I do love yoga though...
