    I'm on day-32 of P90X3 and have lost 9lb so far. Started the program at 223 so I still have a ways to go. Didn't bother with the nutrition guide and just continued doing what I was doing with MFP.

    I am thinking thinking of buying x3. I did p90x a few years ago but didn't complete it because it was to much time for me to invest at the time..... I was working long hours and driving my kids around their sports and activities. I like the idea of 30 minutes a day as I can fit that in pretty easy. I would love to hear what most peoples results have been, as I have about 15 lbs to lose. I am only moderately active now, mostly do light cardio and some weights about 3 days a week. Also want to know how much cardio is in it as I have a friend who is training with a personal trainer for the last 9 months and she is only doing heavy weight lifting but her results are amazing. She used to be a avid runner and carb addict, but now has completely changed her body with only doing weight and eating low carb. She has paid almost almost $2000.00 for the training, and I cannot afford anything like that. I was hoping that x3 would be a good fit for me to help me get in really good shape, but I know now if I want to change my body I have to do more weight training and not waste my time on cardio. So how much cardio is x3 and are you seeing a change in your body composition like the people in the test group? Thanks for any tips!

    the lean phase has way more cardio in it and i saw NO results after block 1.. so i am doing classic now.. I know i will see a change now.. it is more difficult and has more weights in it... way less cardio...

    I am on the third day of block 3. In the first block I lost 6lbs. and in the second block I did not lose or gain anything. I try to keep my cals at 1200-1600 a day. The weekends I always go a little crazy. The results are not as good as I expected,but they are good none the less. I figure I am going to have to do it again and cut the cals lower to get lean. All in all, compared to the hour and 15 minute p90x, these results aren't too bad. Keep up the good work everyone!

    Started 1st day of block 2. Triometrics the day after I went jogging for the first time in months was not a good idea. I was thinking that after a month of P90X3 that I was ready to go back jogging again. The jogging went fine but I felt that on my legs a back. The next day Triometrics. It goes without saying I struggled. With some muscle pain on my legs and back Triometrics was hard. I have to take some breather on some exercises.

    After doing Lean program for a month I did not lose any weight. But my cardio got better. Now I'm thinking of changing to classic just like what lin7604 in the previous post.

    Anybody still around here? I know I started a month or so behind most people who started along with this topic. I suspect that many of you have finished or very close to finishing by now. What is your overall impression? I felt underwhelmed with block 1, but block 2 nicely picked up the pace. Now starting block 3, I have a feeling this will be very similar to block 1 again :( Deccelerator seems somewhat similar to total synergistic, which is the most mediocre of all the strength training days. During the transition week, I went to lift in the gym, and I got so sore that I have never experienced with P90x3. Now I am thinking that I will replace Total synergistic and maybe even decelerator with a gym session with some compound movements.
    any opinion on that?

    Personally.... I kinda just do whatever I want to do during a program like this. I switch workout days around, sub workouts I like for ones I don't like, etc. I think it's important for the program to be enjoyable and if you wake up thinking ugghhhhhhhh it's total Synergistics day! Then you are more likely to quit altogether, so you may as well do something similar that you actually enjoy. I'm in week 10 and I've never done mmx. Don't like martial arts style stuff. Would rather do agility x, cvx.... go for a run, do jumping jacks for half an hour, dunk my head into a toilet.... literally anything else than mmx. I would like to think it hasn't effected my progress at all.

    I bought this program around Christmas but didn't really have the time to commit to it. I did 2 weeks and then stopped

    Now that the weather is getting nicer and summer is around the corner, I'm ready to really buckle down and do this.
    I started Day 1 this morning and am looking to connect with others who are doing P90x3 and seeing results.

    Thanks!

    Mine arrive today, so fitness test and start Monday, I'm also looking to link up with others on P90x3.
    Might be worth starting a new group!?

    Hey everyone. I made it! I am in my final transition week starting today. I have some bad news though... my start and finish weight are the same(My diet was not the best!) My before and after pics are the same as well. Instead of doing the transition week, I went ahead and started the Elite Block today and it is no fun. I am hoping that in the next 30 days I can shred some lbs. or see some abs poking through. lol. I really enjoyed the P90X3 and I know if I would have kept with the diet I would have had better results. So keep it up everybody.

    I started two months ago, did a few weeks then got sick, so was off for two weeks. I've started up again and now I'm starting week 4 of the first block. I'm doing the mass schedule. I'm noticing a difference in my arms already and some in my legs though I am doing extra leg work (weighted squats, etc.) a couple of times a week.

    I really liked the schedule of the first block, though I'm looking forward to starting the upper and lower workouts and hopefully focusing more on building muscle.

    My hubby and I have been doing p90x (1) since February. In the second portion of the 90 days I got sick for like two weeks and then he got sick and then I had oral surgery so it got really hard to keep up with the workouts! We have p90x 2 and p90x 3 and we decided about a week ago that we wanted to switch to 3 because the one hour workouts (plus ab ripper x 3 times a week) were just not happening with out busy schedules.

    Today we completed day 2 of the program. So far we LOVE that it is only 30 minutes. It goes so quick and I'm not standing there going omg we have 30 minutes left halfway through like with p90 1. I really do like that program but we also felt that there was wasted time with all of the chit chat and tips (which are great). We both also feel like it's kicking our butts already! So far during the workouts we were both huffing and puffing and getting our heart rates up.

    I have a long weight-loss journey ahead of me and he has been the same weight for at least the past 6 years. So for him, he's trying to just be healthy and he is really getting into being active (I think he's becoming a fitness junkie!). For me I want to get in shape, obviously lose a ton of weight and also of course be healthy as well. I'm 25 and I've basically struggled with my weight since high school.

    Anyway, I wanted to share my p90 story and I'm excited to see so many others doing it and having success and liking it too! I love having solidarity with others with similar goals. It's important to have a support system and even total strangers can be part of that too! Good luck to everyone wherever you are in your fitness programs and all!

    Just finished my 90 days of the p90x3 Mass workout schedule. My goal was to build some muscle and physically get
    stronger. I did well on both counts including improving my numbers in The Challenge big time. I was able to handle
    the 70lb sandbags I use for traction in my truck that I struggled with at the beginning of winter easily.
    Going to shift gears now.....and do Les Mills Body Combat. Will also throw in a pushup/pullup/weights day as well. Try and
    maintain my muscle gain. Another round of p90x3 mass to follow me thinks in about 7 weeks. Good luck everybody !!

    Awwwwww man! I don't start my P90X3 until my bday (Sept 8). YES I'm bringing it on my birthday. It's perfect, its the best way to celebrate turning 35! LOL. I'm currently doing Focus T25 - Beta series, then Gamma, then the X! Hopefully there's a challenge or support group going when I get into it!
