The Original Power 90 Check In?

Great Mepheston, welcome to this site. I love power 90!!! I think you will be impressed and satified with the results !! Good luck!

I'm also just starting Power 90. I started on Monday, so, hopefully we can help each other through it? I found it challenging during the Cardio phase when doing some of the floor contortions and not having a good view of the TV at the same time. I'm guessing we'll have the routines memorized in no time.

Thank you!...Day number 3 today & I'm excited to be working out...I need to keep up the good attitude so I don't stop!! I love knowing that I will suffer through the workout but I will get to record how many calories I burned

I cannot believe i found this thread. I am so happy, I bought Power 90 afraid that although i can do the fit test for P90x, i didn't feel in shape enough and up to the challege. So i was hoping to find a lighter program for just starting out. I bought Power 90 and i start my first session today. Wish me luck.

Day three complete. Feeling just a little sore, but not as bad as when I tried P90x. I did the same thing, p90x seemed a little too advanced for me, but I'm hoping to 'graduate' to it some day after P90 and the master series.

Good for you dojo123! we're pretty close I just completed Day 4...this cardio has definately been harder for me but I will not give up!!

Finished Day 2 today and wow was it a workout, the cardio is no joke and you kind of laugh the first time you see a 6:00 timer on the ab workout, but you're not laughing by the end, no...not at all... :-)

I am so excited with all the newbies!!! This is great!!!! The Power 90 Club!!!!

No, no laugh at all Mepheston...I couldn't do all of the ab exercises yet, hopefully next time.

My husband and I started Power 90 together last Tuesday, Sept 7th. We both LOVE it!! After only 9 days, I'm already noticing a difference in the way my clothes fit. Love it love it love it!!!

Me, too, Yvonne! I thought it was just my imagination that I'm starting to feel and see muscles in my legs. They weren't there 10 days ago!

I'm on day 10, maybe 11, can't remember, calendar is at home. I took one true "rest" day, and today will have to be a rest day since I have school open house tonight. I love the flexibility of this program. If I need to miss a day, I just pick right back up where I left off.

Another sign of progress for me is my 5 lb. weights are starting to feel a little easy. The next time I do Sculpt, I'm going to start using 8 lb. weights for some of the moves. I'm sure I won't be able to do them all at 8 lb., but baby steps, right?

So glad to see others starting out like me! We can support each other as we work toward 90 days!!

Great idea Clew, you don't have to wait until Oct1st. I am sure you will love it.

I did the UML from the Master series this morning. I think it is my favorite. A really good workout. I was able to get to my step class last night so my workout schedule this week has been good. My eating has been in check as so with my water. My weigh stayed the same ( all week between 125.00 and 126.00) so I am happy with that.

Again I am so happy to see so many newbies!!! That is great!!! I am thinking that when I come back from my honeymoon and settle in. (Hopefully won't have gain any or very little ) I will order the power 1/2 hour to stay in maitenance. I figure I will still do it 6 times aweek ( along with my three days at the gym) but only for 1/2 hour. I am not sure - I can always switch around the power 90 and master series too. I just not sure if I want the P90X. - I really liek the result of the power 90 and feel that this is something I can maintain.

Hope everyone has a happy Healthy day!!!

Day two this afternoon. I found that i can do all the exercises but i have to take a lot of breaks. They aren't hard but i definately don't have the endurance to do either the sculpt or sweat without pushing pause. I felt like i paused so many times but i can defintately tell the difference.

I wish this was easier for me. I can swim for an entire hour and as long as i keep my breathing (because i have exercise induced asthma) under control i am fine. Why is this so much harder, its not even as long as my swim workout. I really hope this gets easier with time. Although i feel great because this is the second day in a row i've done Power 90 and i've been working out all week long. Now i just gotta remember to eat my exercise calories.

Does anyone know how to log this. I don't have a heart rate monitor but i am curious what would be the most accurate.

I just did Sculp 1-2 using 8 lb. weights!!! I didn't think I would be able to do that many moves with them, but I did most of the workout. I guess I didn't know what my body was capable of!! I think it was the last two moves that I went back to 5 lb. I'm so excited! I'm sure I'll be feeling it in a day or so, but I'll enjoy this accomplishment for now!! Woo Hooo!!! :drinker: :bigsmile:

Had a great week with working out. My boot camp was tough but I did very well. I also did my Power 90 and went to my gym class!! So I feel really strong - pushing it this last couple of weeks. I am on day 106 for the power 90 program (I replace two days a week with boot camp) . I know that I am stronger - I can do a pull up - all by myself. That was a big goal for me.

My weigh-in is staying right in my range - so I am happy!!! My clothes fit better and I feel better. So now I just have to keep it up until the wedding then maintain it after I come home. That will be another challenge!!!

Hope everyone is doing great!!!!

I did UML with Power 90 master series this morning and willgo to my spin/ab class tonight. Last nights pole fitness was very interesting. It was very structure and alot of core stretching. Not quite sure it for me - but they also have a hooping class which may be exactly for me. I am going to look into it. The instructor said she is looking for people to taking the classes and train to be an instructor. So it gives me someting to think about.


Hope everyone is pushing play!!!! I miss you!!!!
