in Motivation and Support
The Time has come. It is 2011 and we are about to change our lives and turn ourselves into the strong confident individuals that we know we can be. This is the 2011 P90X CHALLENGE!!! In the next 90 days we are going to be strong and confident in all aspects of our lives. There are going to be days when we will fall and start to lose our drive but our main goal is to not let falls or failure define us. We are gonna fight and support each other along the journey and give motivation and tips. This is not going to be a piece of cake, this is gonna take work and dedication but if you are willing to take this challenge with me, i will try to help in anyway i can with emotional support and tips.

P.S. If anyone would still like to join or if you know that you will be starting a day or 2 later because of a new years hangover. It is all cool.

Before i start explaining the diet and workout program, i would really like for everyone to record there starting weight and measurements. You can also take your Day 1 photo as well. When you post you weight and measurements in the board, follow this format

Starting Weight:
waste:
hips:
chest:
right arm:
left arm:
right thigh:
left thigh:

I am going to host voluntary weekly weigh-in every week on saturday. At the end of every phase, it is mandatory to do your current measurements and weight.


P90X DIET:

For the Diet aspect of P90X, I would really like everyone to concentrate on a 1800 calorie budget. That is the lowest you can go on P90X supposebly. If you need more info, check online. Within your 1800 calorie budget, try to put in as much protein as you can. Protein is essential to getting you through your workouts. Remember, no less than 1800 calories!!!!!


WORKOUT PLANS:

For the P90X workout plan, i am going to concentrate on the Classic and Lean Programs since knowone signed up for doubles. You will need dumbells, resistance cord, pull up bar and a mat. Yoga blocks opitional. You can also adjust the moves if you don't have a pull up bar. I will post information about those programs in another post

    Day 2: Plyometrics (58:36)
    Day 3: Shoulders & Arms (59:53), Ab Ripper X (16:07)
    Day 4: Yoga X (92:24)
    Day 5: Legs & Back (58:56), Ab Ripper X (16:07)

    Lean Program Phase 1

    WEEKS 1-3:During this period your body is going to get accustomed to the rigors and demands of P90X by forming engrams, or neuromuscular patterns that allow you to turn new movements into routine. Your aim should be to finish each workout and perfect each movement, as opposed to focusing on weight or resistance. As your body gets used to exercises, it will do them move efficiently and the amount of weight you can use will greatly increase. You should begin to see this skyrocket towards the end of week 3. Remember to record your rep count and weight amount on you FREE P90X Worksheets, downloadable at Beachbody.com/P90X or TeamBeachbody.com/P90X

    Day 1: Core Synergistics (57:27) –
    Day 2: Cardio X (43:18) -
    Day 3: Shoulders & Arms (59:53), Ab Ripper X (16:07) -
    Day 4: Yoga X (92:24) -
    Day 5: Legs & Back (58:56), Ab Ripper X (16:07) -
    Day 6: Kenpo X (58:46)
    Day 7: Rest or X Stretch (57:32)

    and the challengers are....

    Side note: We still have some challengers who have yet to post which program you will be doing. We also have happinessblossom who is going to take on the P90 program which is basically an easier version of P90X, SO give her support, she's got 90 days to go as well.

    Please add me to classic.
    I have been running about 20-25 miles per week for last year. I will have to cut down mileage in half to fit P90X workouts into my schedule. I will post measurements and pics soon.

    Hi all, Today was my first day of the Lean program. I feel like i did really well on Core Synergistics but some things were really hard. First off, i couldn't take it serious whenever Tony says "BANNANA". It just sounded really funny to me but i do think i will get over it.

    I also have a question for anyone who might have an answer. Does anyone have tips or suggestions on how to dreya rolls. I was having a bit of an issue getting up once you get down. i tried pushing with my arms but no luck yet. Hopefully it will improve in time.

    Why not, i give you total props for taking on insanity. I will probably try that after P90X. Heard lots of great reviews.

    I wish I could be in ...
    I have to put P90X on hold until after my half marathon.
    But I have ordered my resistance bands and my pull up bar...
    And I am planning on starting February 14th....

    Oh, what is the difference between the classic and the lean program. How do you know which one you want to do? How can I still fit in my running 3 days/week with P90X?
