    I did it for 90 days with a friend. The only reason I stopped was because by the time we got together, it was too late for my tastes. I enjoyed it with a lot of success. Keep it up. It works.

    Good work!! I've done the program twice and now I just add some of the workouts into my weekly routine. It took me 2 weeks to get through the Ab Ripper with Tony, but the results are awesome.

    Keep it up!

    Nice Job! I just finished Day 11 myself and I'm loving it. I'm a pretty big girl but with all the exercise I've done in the last year I have built up quite some good endurance and my husband and I are loving it. It is a great time commitment because we have to get up super early for both of us to get it done together at the same time-but it is great!

    I'm thankful so many people said they had great results because right now the scale went up from the start and I know I'm building muscle too-so I have to be gracious but I am also so easily discouraged lately.

    Anyway-keep up the good work!!! Day 2 here you come!!!

    If you already have both, I would start with P90X. Insanity is just, well Insane.

    Thank you all for your kind words and support!!!!!

    Just finished PLYO and HOLY COW! I had to modify so much, since I couldnt get as low as i wanted, but still pushed through, and kept up with it! I really loved the monster tires and the heismans! I feel so great right now!!!!!!

    All of you doing P90X, are you doing the diet as well!? I havent really read through everything, but I have been on a healthy diet for about a month now, so I think I"ll be fine...and I really need to get a recovery drink...what all do you use!?

    THANKS!

    BRINGING IT for sure!

    If you reached the end then you did AWESOME. My first time doing plyo I got through only a half hour. I lost 24 pounds during my first round of 1700 calories. At the time my carbs were high, but the low calories and cleaner eating allowed me to lose fat. I recommend that you increase your protein percentages on MFP to at least 35%. Read the dietary suggestions in the P90X book. They recommend that women take in 2,000 plus calories, but a few of us have found that that is too high.

    Thank you! I had issues with the jumping and really getting low, but I know I'll get it sooner than later. I have been going to the gym religiously since October, and feel like I havent done much, and I can tell this is going to help. I have been intaking at least 1,4000 calories a day, but im still confused about replenishing them! I'll really have to read the p90x nutrition guide..do you have a recovery drink?

    I used the P90X recovery drink in the beginning, but it did nothing for my nutritional needs. I switched to whey protein, which is great for recovery. So, right now I switch off between BSN Lean Dessert Protein and BSN Syntha-6. We workout in the morning, so it just works for me to have a banana and protein shake then head off to work. I don't do that every single day, but that's been the norm.

    I don't know about those particular brands, but GNC does carry protein powders. That I where my husband and I buy ours. Good luck with P90X!! I am currently on week 3 of Turbo Fire and plan to do P90X after I finish Turbo.

    I got lucky and a friend of my Husband's gave me the px90 set. I don't want to start it until after I finish the program I'm on now, but I'm curious, how long is each workout? I've heard its anywhere from 20-90 minutes, so I'd really like a solid answer from people who've done it. Thanks!

    P90X has 12 DVDs all but one is an hour long. Yoga is 90 minutes long.
