    I just started my P90X workout yesterday. I am doing the Lean workout with hopes of losing 15-20 lbs by June. Does anyone have any advice on the Nutrition Guide as i did not receive it? Also...I keep hearing about Insanity. Can someone fill me in on what that is?

    Kempo is done WOOT! I am confused about my calorie burn....last week I burned about 50 more calories than this week and this week I used weighted gloves and felt like I pushed HARD....any ideas? We are also thinking about cutting our recovery week down to 4 days cause we are going on a cruise the end of March and are wanting to try to get our last week to line up with the cruise so we can workout (treedmill...eliptical ect.) on the boat...any thoughts?

    I have noticed my calorie burn was lower last week than the first week. My heartrate has not been as high even though I am working harder. I guess because my heart is not having to work as hard as in the beginning. As for getting ready for the cruise, I don't see what cutting out a couple of days would hurt.

    Great job pushing harder!! Keep it up girl!! :)

    We are using the Nutrition Guide and its set up in 3 phases. We are on phase one right now. Basically high protein and low carbs for muscle building. You may be able to find the info online. Insanity is more of an intense cardio workout, more for fat burning than to build muscle. I hear it's great too! I plan on doing it after I complete P90X.

    Tried day 1 yesterday and it was a fail. :sad: I didn't realize that you still needed a chin up bar to use the bands, so I really just did a lot of half a$$ed push ups and tried to look at their form. I can't even do a real push up! I know I will be able to do it if I stay committed, but man was it hard to picture my future rock hard body as I was trying to keep up!

    If you have a Sports Authority near you they carry the resistance bands, and the strap that fits over your closed door. You don't really need a chin up bar. We have one, and I've never used it. I use three resistance bands on one handle (Sports Authority).

    I bet you are being too hard on yourself :) I can't do a real pushup yet either but I am getting there! (forget pull ups, I can even hold myself up but I am going to get there!)

    Core is one of my favorite P90X workouts. It is so important for the mid-section. Simple crunches just don't do it because you need to strengthen the lower back as well. Core will give you a good calorie burn without jumping around. Hope you love it.

    I ordered P90X last week and am still waiting for the ship notice. When I get it I and my husband will be starting it. My main goal is fitness though I would be thrilled to lose some of the many pounds I'd like to downsize. :)

    Hey Knit! Welcome...

    I promise you this... When you bring it every day and stick to the diet plan, the lbs just fall off! It's incredible! I have two partners who started the program with me 44 days ago. One has lost 12 lbs, one has lost 13lbs, and one has lost 19 lbs! We are bringing it! You will be soooo pleasantly surprised! Let us know when you get started! :)

    AWESOME NEWS!!

    Hubby went for a follow-up for his high cholesterol. Since he's been doing P90X daily and eating good he's not only lost about 5-7 lbs, but his cholesterol is down tremendously!!! Doc told him if it's still down in 3 months he will take him off of his meds!! Woohoo! Maybe it will do the same for his blood pressure!!

    sooo today I did chest shoulders and tris...umm I made it through 35 min. and had to stop...my back held up o...k... but I took it slow...I am also doing a 3 day shakeology cleanse so since I am taking in VERY low calories for 3 days I figure it will be ok....the push ups however..dang! I am thinking I am gonna need like 10 rounds just to be able to do em on my toes! P90x really lets you know how OUT of shape you are lol. I did my 30 day pics. and measurements...I am down 12 inches and 8 pounds....I am really hoping phase 2 is nicer to me :)

    Way to go girl!! A friend of mine just did the Shakeology cleanse and lost 9 pounds! I am going to try it but am going to wait until after I get done with P90X.
