The Original Power 90 Check In?

I missed a couple days last week, but just picked up where I left off. It doesn't seem like I really lost any ground, and it's nice that P90 is structured in a way that you don't need to start only on Mondays. Haven't done my 2nd weigh-in yet, but I'm hoping for a little bit of weight loss. I definitely feel stronger and a little less winded after each workout. Today is Day 16 for me.

Started Power 90 today!
My boyfriend and I are doing it together, hopefully we can keep each other motivated.

We are using resistance bands, but I really want to get hold of some dumbbells.

Way to go Kath712!!! 4 more days until your first 30 days!!!!!!! I am so glad you love it - that felling is really great knowing you are getting fitter and stronger!!!!

My son is impressed with me - so you know I am doing good. Its' funny - he laughs at me but really helps me do better. Once when I was trying really hard to do a pull up he put his hand under me and said just step on it for a minute - if was just enough that I did the pull up. He worked with me until I can finally do it without any help!!!!

Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!!

nehptune,

Doing power 90 really help get stronger. In the begininng I could barely do the narrow push ups (girl style) or the dips (one leg bent). But slowly I could start doing them. About day 60 - I started trying to do the pull ups. I used my step to give be a little boost when I need it or I kinda jumped a little to get all the way up. I did that everyday. I never thought I would be able to do a full one on my own without the jump or step or help. But slowlly I was able to do it. I am almost there on the second one..... but just can't get my chin up over the bar...LOL It's kinda like the narrow push ups. You have to keep trying almost everyday or everyother day to do it. Your muscels will get stronger if you keep using them.

Also I am sure if where you do the pull-ups - I do my at home with the door frame bar. I am not too sure about how sturdy the bar has to be for this but my friend has the whole workout gym thing. She used the resistance bands - she had one over the bar and would put one foot in the handle and use that to pull up when she needed. She was doing push-ups in no time. She was doing p90X - it has lots of pull ups.

Hope that helps!!!

Have a happy healthy day!!!

I just started Power 90 and finished one week. Pretty tough for me but I plan on making it through. Not sure how many people on this post are just starting it seemed to me like most have been going a while. I just started a new thread under Motivation for P90 and will see if other brand new people jump in. Hope I can stick to it! It is wonderful that you have your boyfriend doing it with you..that will keep you motivated!

I have just finished the first week of power 90 too! i'll friend you so we can keep each other on track

I'm starting Power 90 today, I'm pretty excited about it. Just wanted to get a post in so I don't lose the thread.

Hi Clarissa!
I'm on Day 34 and still loving it! I agree, P90 is totally simple, to the point and informative. I wouldn't say 3 pounds is so bad. I guarantee, if you stick with it, you will be moving up in no time! I started with 5 and quickly moved up to 8, although I still use 5 when Tony says, "You might want to lower your weight on this move." :laugh:
Welcome!

Just started P90 today. Can't wait to see were 90 days takes me.

Today will be day 16 of power 90 for me.

still enjoying it, and progressing with weights and reps. i am using 5lb, 8lb and 10lb weights... but i think i may have to invest in some 12lb-ers soon for the back exercises... i'm not feeling the burn as much as i think i should! still using the 5lb weights for shoulder flys though!!!

i haven't been using the supplements that are meant to go with the workouts, but i'm wondering if i really need to? does anyone have any advice about whether or not to use them? or alternatives?

Hi,
Neither am I!! I'm curious to see what others have to say. I wonder if they could help us see more dramatic results and in less time? Thanks for asking this.
Kathy

Day 9 here.... feeling great...

Keep pushing play!!!

I am ready to get back into it. After completing 120 days of power 90 and master series - I took a break of about three weeks of no structured exercise (this included my wedding and honeymoon) I am back with my walking and classes at the gym. So, I just order the Power Half Hour. I think I will try that for maintainance???? I can always switch in the power 90 and master series when needed. Just trying to get back into a everyday routine - an adjustment from time off. LOL I surely don't want to loose the muscle or gain back any weight.

So how is everyone doing??? Still pushing play I hope!!!!

I will be back pushing play real soon!!!

Good morning all. Had a great weekend. I actually eat pretty good and healthy and that's good because I didn't get in any formal exercise. Really busty from morning till night runnign errands, cleaning and attended a horse show.

But got up this morning, (pretty easy becaise of time change) and di the fat burn express of Power 90 . I should be getting my Power 1/2 in any day now. So now trying to eat healthy today. I made my lunch a nice shrimp salad and two healthy snack. Some mixed nuts and a banana. I had a nice dinner fixed but I may have to eat on the run.... my son needs me to run something up to school for him - either I eat on the run or eat really late... not sure yet. But other than that doing really well. I feel like I am back into the swing of exercise, so just have to keep at it.

How is everyone else doing? Still pressing play???

Power 90 1/2 hour - arms this morning. So, I thinking that I really like the Power 1/2 hour. Each dvd is sort of spot specific - arms, thighs, butt, arms and strech! So, I can target specific spots!!! If I continue to do my cardio three times a week and then do these DVD's in the morning - that should keep in good shape. I am pretty satified with my fitness and weight right now - but I don't want to loose it or gain any weight back!! I need to stay motivated !!!!! Ialso have a really good library of Tony, Julian Michaels and the Biggest loser so I can also switch up and add in!!!!

So has anyone else done the power 1/2 hour????

Hope everyone is have a happy healthy day.

I am still talking to myself huh?? Oh well it works for me LOL

had a bit of an off week last week, so started again today... i think we're calling it day 35 or thereabouts.

am wondering if doing the same set of exerciese for 90 days is really a good idea. i hear a lot about muscle confusion and mixing up your workouts, so i'm going to mix up my cardio a bit. tomorrow i'm going to substitute a spinning class for the sweat 3-4 session, and maybe do the same this weekend.

don't worry, i won't forget my 200 reps of ab exercises!

how is everyone getting along? still pushing play?!
