P90X - First timer

Hiya first timer! I just wanted to say that don't quit. It may seem hard but you only get results if you try. If you need some extra motivation daily, you can friend me. I have been trying to keep a motivational blog. It has some of my troubles that I went through on there.

Hi, I'm going to the gym for my 1st ever time tomorrow, will need so much support because I'm really nervous. I am so unfit and i'm worried people will look at me, but need to get over my fears and go.

Hope it goes well for you, i'll add you as a friend as i'm new to here too and the more encouragement we give each other the better.

Would welcome any advise you can give Mel xx

Hello everyone! I just finished day 1 of P90X. Is anyone else wanting to start today or this week? I'd love to have someone to talk to about the workouts, our results, and just the journey through the 90 days!

I just began week 2 yesterday and am loving it so far!

I was very nervous my first few times I went as well. I was extremely nervous even going in to signup but after a few times of going I loved it. I now do spin classes 4 days a week as well and it helps me a ton

I just began week 2 yesterday and am loving it so far!

awesome! are you doing the diet as well?

Not really I am just following my calorie guidelines on MFP mainly. I try not to eat processed or pasta's though. After yesterday I can already feel changes in my strength even from 1 week though

I am starting day 1 of P90X tomorrow (Mon Jan 10th).

Great to have a girl to chat to

i'm not sure if i'm going to follow their diet or not. I won't be having any protein/energy drinks/bars but i will be cutting down and healthying up xx

I will start week 2 tomorrow! Today is my day of rest--thank goodness! I need a break! I wore heels to church today and my legs were killing me whne I walked up the stairs.

I'm starting a hybrid round tomorrow (P90X/Insanity). I've done 2 rounds of P90X (one lean and one classic) and one round of Insanity.

I agree that the best thing about MFP (or one of the best things) is the encouragement you get from everyone.

I also started P90X today. There were alot of push ups! Would love to keep up with you and discuss. I have been absent from here since last summer and I am ready to get back into the swing of things.

Hey Everyone! I've done two rounds of P90X myself and I love how strong it made me feel! @DesperateDaner - I always suggest doing a Classic round as your first time. And then if you want to do a second round after that, you can tweak the program as needed. But they give you everything you need with the books that come with it - so just do the classic program as laid out. Feel free to add me as a buddy everyone and ask me any questions you might have! I've also done Insanity, Slim in 6, Turbo Fire and am currently rockin' Chalean Extreme!

I start week 2 tomorrow after getting halfway through the program last year. It kicks your butt, but I love how quickly you can see and feel yourself getting stronger and more fit.

Well... I'm going to claim being a P90X virgin because I only survived the first 3 wks of the program last spring. Honestly, my first night last year... my 16 yr-old found me a heaping pool of sweat and nausea on my family room floor. After her laughing, I told her to just get me a pillow. It wasn't until I did my second round of Core that I realized I must have passed out during (or just blocking out) the last 15 minutes.

Although that first night should have been a wake up call that it was more than I thought, I kept at it and it was awesome. I even looked forward to my time with Tony every night until... I didn't keep up my calories one day and tried to work out. I had a ridiulous headache and nausea that kicked in about 10 minutes into the session. It lasted me about 3 days. I lost my confidence and never regained my motivation to do it.

I am doing the 30 Day Shred in the mornings and would love to add this to my evenings. I will be doing the LEAN track.

Let's BRING IT all!

Day 2, Week 1 of my hybrid: Plyo completed this morning. Burned 400 calories. I think going through Insanity really helped me with this workout. For most of the sequences, I was still going strong when the time was up.
