HI!!!!!!!!!! I did 51 minutes of Core!!! oh my gosh, I sure hope I can get up tomorrow to head to the gym!! hahahaha0 -
Just finished Day2... Yesssss! CardioX was way better than Core Syn!!! Hope everyone has a great day!!0

Am I the only one doing the Classic version? For the first round I started with the Lean version too but switched it to the Classic in Phase 2.
Chest and Back was yesterday + Ab Ripper and it was GREAT! Tonight I am on to Plyometrics (work out at night)... can't wait!
I am also doing doubles four days per week with a couple of girls from work. We did Hip Hop Abs on Monday and today we did Turbo Fire... loving this!!
Make it a great day!0 -

I was thinking of switching to classic because I hated Core soooo much and I noticed you don't have to do that one for the first three weeks lol
Good for you girl! Keep up the awesomeee work!0 -
Day 2 done. I also got up at 5:20 to go to the gym with a friend. I sure hope I can make it through my night class and the drive home!!0
-
Left my home at 9:15 for errands-- supposed to be back latest around noon. Lonnnnnnnnnng story, and many hours later, I just got home with $600 of unexpected car repairs to my name.
Doesn't look good for day 2 today-- 5th birthday for my son, and family festivities therein-- and I have to work tonight-- dammit.
If not tonight, tomorrow-- crap, crap, crap.
Whaddyagonnado?? Onward.0 -

I'm the same. I just finished day 3 but needed heavier weights!!0 -

I did that DVD a couple weeks ago, and really liked it. I can't do the pull-ups, but I use the universal when it's time to pull-up, and I pull down. It works.
Glad you enjoyed.0 -
Yay!! Day 3 done! Oh are my abs going to be sore tomorrow but in a good way!:happy: Hope everyone is enjoying it so far!!0
-
Day three done here too... I was using 15 pounds for all the bicep exercises and won't likely increase weights next week... may by the third. Loved this workout but forgot how hard those darn crouching Cohen curls were. I subbed out Ab Ripper for a walk on the treadmill for two reasons:
1. I am in a flare up and wouldn't be able to get through half the exercises
and
2. Because I have been doing doubles with HIp HOp Abs, so I did not feel guilty about subbing it out
Had a great workout last night though... and tonight is my most dreaded night of all, the Yoga from hell DVD.
Wish me luck, cause I am gonna need it to get through!
Make it a great day fellow Xers!!0 -
hey-- day 3 done.
I already plan on subbing Winsor Pilates for the Yoga-- I tried the yoga last week. Who the heck has 90 minutes? Bored the snot out of me.
So on Yoga days, I'm gonna Pilate it.
Later-- great job, everyone.0 -

OMG agreed... it was awful! I think I will do the same. I love Pilates. I only got through 50 minutes anyway!0 -
Well, I did the Yoga last night because I subbed it all the time during round one and this time I want to try and love it... that being said I mixed it up a little (hehehe)... but I got 303 calories out of it and I ran on the treadmill (as my warm up) and burned over 400 calories... so it was a great day. Now today it is legs and back... one of my faves.
Make it a great day and KPP.

My husband and i are doing the p90x (we are on week 4). we have yoga tonight. My husband hates it, but I have really started liking the yoga. It is really difficult for me (I have pretty much no flexibility) but it really gives me that feel good all over feeling and a sense of accomplishment. It is really one of my favorites. How are you figuring out the amount of calories burned on it?0

I use a Polar Heart Rate monitor... to calculate my heart rate.0 -

I don't have a heart rate monitor YET lol so I just put yoga in the cardio search and put in how long I did it for. HTH!0 -
Day 4, complete-- 50 minute Winsor Pilates instead of the 90 minute Yoga, but it's all good. Still worked on strength and flexibility-- youch!!!!!
Have a great day.0 -
Maybe ill need to break out the manual for my heart rate monitor. I wasn't sure it would be effective for yoga or lifting or things that are not cardio intensive0
-
Great job everyone!!!!!!! I havent looked on this post for awhile! sorry.....
so, day 3 is done! today was shoulders and arms, and I LOVED IT! I feel so great, but i'm only using 5lbs, so this weekend i will be buying at least 8lbs, since i could tell it was a little bit too light for me.....
ab ripper x killed me today, i'm just so darn sore from yesterdays plyo!
I have to say though, i'm really enjoying these work outs, and i love doing them! I must be crazy too, since i'm doing them in the mornings, and then i have my committment to the gym with my friend in the evenings...i just hope i dont burn myself out!
i cannot wait till day 30 just to see results!

All I can say is the first half of yoga SUCKS!!! I WILL be doing my pilates video when it is yoga days.0

Yoga x was today.......did not like it at all! It was so hard for me, I'm not flexible at all........but, I kept up with it, and finished!0

Hey all! I just started the P90X today and was looking in the groups for anybody who's started recently and found this thread. I did the Classic version day 1 this morning, but then watched the workout for the Lean version day 1 while sitting on the couch (ha!!) and it looked like more my style than wrestling with the stretchy band thing. Although I was totally amazed that I could do 8 pushups when I'd just bet my boss that I could only do 1! He's doing the P90X and talked me into doing it as well.
Well great to see you all here. Looking forward to hearing what you all think.
And as for pilates, I think I'm going to do my Pilates video instead of the Ab Ripper X. It seemed more geared for men's bodies. Anyone else think so?0 -

Good job! I just finished day 4 of classic today! I'm loving it thus far! Wow! 8 push ups!?!? That's great! I had to modify everything on day 1, Ab ripper x is hard, but, I'm already doing better! I think it's easier for men, since they are buildt differently , just do your best! The lean is more cardio ....god luck!0 -
I am just doing my own routine for this, I am doing more of just the cardio stuff not the weight training (its more for men for sure) i'll keep posting on its going without that stuff0

Totally agreed. I just hated it, and not just because it was a bit difficult. I could have handled the difficulty, and modified. It was just so flippin' boring--
As for the Ab ripper-- well, my abs are totally dead from bearing 9 children, so I do the best I can. It was hard, but I simply do what I can. I'm confident I'll get stronger and better at some of the moves, but I'll never be able to do some of the moves. Biggest problem, again, is the time factor-- on the heels of a 50 minute DVD, another 16 for abs isn't always easy for me to squeeze it in.
But, I'll manage, somehow--
Weekends are nearly impossible for me to get day 6 in each week. So, I'm just going to pick up on Monday where I left off-- day 5 Monday morning of Lean.
Glad you found us littlemiss-- and tritta, the weight training is still important for women. It helps with the fat burning, blah, blah, blah-- and you can modify it with lower weights to get toned, but not built up. For what it's worth, I'd head to Wal-Mart and get some weights and incorporate the weight routines, too-- my two cents.
have a great night all-- see y'all Monday.0
