CALLING ALL P90Xrs!! A little help please..

Heart rate monitor! :-)

I log all my workouts under cardiovascular and then use a similar heading like aerobics, strength training, kick boxing, yoga, etc... then I would make note as to which exact workout it was plyo, yoga, chest/shoulders/triceps in the exercise note field. If you were really a go-getter you could create your own workout heading, but it seemed like to much work for me.

I am planning on starting P90X either on Sunday or Monday (Lean). I had to hit the road for my job and I was missing a few things (ordered the B-bands...didn't like what was offered at the sporting goods store and couldn't find a body fat caliper at any store). Those items will be on my doorstep tomorrow and I fly home Thursday night. i plan on doing the fit test on Friday or Saturday and starting P90X on Sunday or Monday. I will send those on this thread a friend request. Maybe we can kick each other's butts while P90X kicks it at the same time.

Most message boards on here have been saying to note it as circuit training with the HRM reading be the calorie burn noted under "Cardiovascular". This is the first thread I have noticed where the actual workout (plyo, cardio X, kenpo, etc.) was noted in the comments. That is a good idea. It can give you an idea what workouts tend to burn more calories.

I plan on heavily leaning on the HRM and trust it implicitly.

Hell, you could call it "rodeo bull riding" or "jumping to conclusions" (lame joke) as long as you are logging earned calories properly from the trusty HRM.

Good luck future P90Xer!!!
