Hi everyone,
I will be starting a P90X challenge group for 5 people beginning September 15th. I love using a combination of my fitness pal (for nutrition) and Facebook (for open communication). If you were planning on starting P90X soon, leave a post below or message me. If you have questions about P90X I'm here to help:)

My wife and I have completed P90X three times and it has changed everything for our family.

    Simon,

    I love your programs! I was thinking about doing P90X again...but I completely understand if you need to recruit some new names/faces.

    I would love to have you join Allison. I could do with your experience in our group. Your participation and positive attitude is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your kind words .

    Hi Simon! I'm in another part of the world/time zone. Could I still join? I started my first round of P90X four days ago.

    SImon,

    Is the plan for us all to stat on 9/15 (that's what I assumed) or is it just for anyone at any stage of P90X?

    Hi Alison,

    I actually wanted the group to start 8/15. I made a mistake in the original post. Does that work better for you ?

    Funny, that's what I originally thought it was and then when I saw 9/15, I figured I must have read the original post wrong! 8/15 works for me. Still curious, is the goal for us all to start on 8/15 with Day 1?

    I'm excited!! I have to see what starting on a Thursday does for my schedule. I may start on the 12th so that I have weights M, W, F.

    BUT, I like the idea of being on the exact same day as my fellow p90xers!

    A friend gave me p90x this week. I want to start the program on Monday 9/12. Any advice for someone that has not worked out in many years. I don't know the difference in the programs. Which one should I start with lean or classic? What do I need in addition to the videos. I think I may have a couple of 5 pound weights and some resistance bands.

    How about we start on Monday the 19th? Would that work better? I'm flexible

    Hi Scases,

    I started with the Lean Version for my first round. In retrospect the classic version is a better choice. I would recommend subbing out Plyometrics with Cardio X to begin with. Plyo is very hard on the knees etc, especially of you haven't worked out for a while. The 5 pound weights and resistance bands will work well.

    Make sure you preview one of the DVDs first. I would recommend you watch Chest and Back to see how the pull ups are done. I started with bands for pulls ups and it worked great. It will involve a little logistics as far as where to set up up your pull up band station.

    You will also need a Yoga mat and 1 yoga block (depending on your yoga experience)

    I am a Beachbody coach and I run support groups for the people I help. If you would like to join our upcoming group message me and I can add you. The groups are free :)

    Have a nice day
    Simon

    Don't change the date for me! I actually leave for my next business trip on the 19th, so I'm more likely to stick with it if I've started before I leave. I will aim to start on the 12th.

    For the person doing their first round of P90X, I wanted to add that I started my first round with bands - it was a great way to start and as soon as I got the hang of it/felt more confident, I started looking for weights at garage sales, on craigs list, etc. and built up my free weight collection.

    Looking forward to our start!!

    I would love to do this too and start at the same time as y'all, i've never done it before and i'm getting the feeling i'll need the motivation to keep going! I've ordered my weights and waiting on them arriving. So what is the planned starting date ? (:

    Hi Riha
    I'm trying to lasso everyone together for a mutual start date lol if you start tomorrow Allison (above will be starting). Alternatively I have a few other who have recently started that you can join. I'm finishing off my current P90X2 round but I support my peeps everyday. I'm an official Team Beachbody coach and I have quite a bit of experience with P90X. I'd be glad to help:)
    . That's so great you're joining the British Army:)
    I will send you the get details now...

    I'm feeling pressure! How about I start on my own tomorrow, just to get my routine going, but redo week one and officially start with the group on the agreed on date? Would that work? I think it would.

    I really would love to be on the same day. It's got to be great to cheer each other on knowing we are ALL doing the same workout!

    I want in! I planned on starting my next round in the morning. 8/12. I will be making you my coach. I am looking for a group of people who can stick with the commitment they are making. I hope to be an encourager to others too.

    Hi Simon, I stumbled upon this thread while looking for a support group that wanted to start P90x in the upcoming days. I would love to join the group and hopefully start any time in the next week. I have all the equipment and look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks.

    Hi, I just found this thread. From what I've read, I think you guys are starting on the 19th? I'm starting my first round of P90x right now. I actually started yesterday but haven't worked out in a while so I wouldn't mind repeating the first week. Can I still join the group?

    I also read that you started the lean program first, but wouldn't recommend it... did I read this correctly?

    Let me know! Thanks so much!!
