p90x

I just started the program yesterday...good luck to the both of us!

I've had the program for over a year .....
A girlfriend recently posted on FB that she was starting Day 1.
Well, I figured that was my sign
I just completed day one. I'll let you know how I feel tomorrow! LOL

My question to you all is are you doing the exact nutrition and all the workouts to receive the results of can you adjust the program a bit to your individual lifestyle. I'm concerned about the nutrition portion of the program. (don't have it yet but I will be getting it)

I don't have it but a few of my friends do and I've seen pics of the before/afters on this very forum, and it's hardcore! They get so toned.

I don't follow the eating plan. I just eat what I want and make sure I balance myself out and eat the healthier choices and eat proper portion sizes.

I am a P90x graduate and have done the Insanity workout for 60 days. I have just started a P90x/Insanity hybrid. I have lost less than 10 pounds, but transformed my body.

Day 2 today ... My upper body is soooooo sore from yesterdays workout.
I switched it up and did legs today
This way my entire body will ache tomorrow!
Feels great though seriously.
They are TOUGH workouts

I have a HRM ... never thought to use it!/
I use it for running. Would it work for something like this?
I didn't think it would give an accurate calorie burn on weight reps ....
Maybe I'm wrong?
Besides ... the benefit of muscle is that it burns calories when at rest - WOHOO to that!

Hey all!

My name's Sara and I was browsing through the message boards and came across this thread...it's perfect timing!!! I, too, am doing P90X (just started on Monday 1/3), and could definitely use some accountability partners!!! I've always been that girl that LOVES to work out, but I'm always looking for something different. I must have a short attention span or just get distracted easily haha. I tried P90X before, but I never did it all the way through. I would just pick a workout here and there...I don't even think I ever finished a FULL week's worth of workouts!!! Over the new year, I was thinking about ways to make 2011 MY year, and I decided that one of my goals is go actually FINISH something. So, I decided that something is going to be P90X this time! Woo Hoo! My planned end date is supposed to be April 3, so I'm REALLY hoping I can make that. Who knows with unforseen circumstances, so I'm planning on my end date being sometime during that week. Right in time to go to Vegas!

Anyway, about the nutrition plan: I know a lot of people that don't follow the plan to the T, but I do know that it's really important to at least keep the portions of fat/carbs/protein/etc as close to the plan as possible. This is because the different phases of the plan coordinate with the different phases of the workouts. I'll be honest, I do not follow the nutrition plan that was givin, BUT I do make sure that I'm eating way more protein than fat and carbs right now.

About the HRM: I also use mine during the workouts!! My caloric burn hasn't been very high, but it won't be with lifting weights. I just do it to see what my HR gets up to, not necessarily for the calories.

I'd love to keep posting on here and seeing everyone's journeys! Keep up the good work!

Hey everyone!


So yesterday was Yoga X, but I didn't get to do it. However, I did do an intense workout on the elliptical for 40 mins. and then followed with some of my own yoga. I know it wasn't the actual workout planned, but I'm glad I at least got in something. Today's Legs/Back and ARX!!! I remember this one as being brutal, but I LOVE working legs. Love it.

I hope everyone's day is going great, and that you are able to keep pushing play!

TTYL!
Sara

I've done P90X twice - had amazing results. So if any of you have any questions, let me know.
I also have printable schedules and have even made some revised schedule - these should be free to download - but for some reason scribd was acting up lately. If you have a problem printing them, let me know. I find it VERY helpful to have my schedule on my fridge so I can mark off each workout as I do it.

did you all do the fix test i know that i can pass its not a matter of being ready for the program and i know that i will get stronger and fitter by doing P90x so do i really need to take the test?

Taking the fit test is nice because you take it again at the end of 90 days and you get to see how much you blow your day #1 numbers OUT OF THE WATER!!!

I'm in week #2 of my fourth round.

Hey everyone I just started P90X lean on Monday and I'm loving it. I also can hardly sit down today because my butt and hamstrings are SO sore! But that's a good thing!

I'm not following the nutrition plan because I don't have the info, I'm using borrowed DVD's and they don't have the books anymore. I did just double my protein intake the last 2 days and I feel much better after doing that. I'm also going to add some more cardio next week. I might do the cardio dvd or elliptical on my weight days just to get my calorie burn up those days.

I've only done Core Synergistics once but I didn't feel like I was working at all. Anyone else feel that way? And Kenpo kicked my trash today and made me realize how uncoordinated I am!

Good luck everyone!
