New round of P90X starts Feb 28th! Join me!

I finished up Day 5's workout today - legs and back/ab ripper x. Really felt the legs and back workout. I can't do all the ab ripper moves now, but my goal is to be able to do them by the end. I used the bands for the chin-up bar parts and that worked great.

I only made it through 45 minutes of yoga yesterday. I saw some of the other posts on the yoga dvd and I've got to agree that it is boring. I kept waiting for Tony to move on from the vinyasa (sp?) and we just get doing it again and again. . 45 minutes into it I'd had enough. I'm thinking I'll pick up a yoga dvd that has less repitition to it and switch off with the yoga x.

I am on day 11, yoga still kills me, I'm just not flexible, and get confused with a majority of the moves, but I still kept up with it! I'm looking forward to legs and back tomorrow, and as many times I've done Ab ripper x, it still kicks my booty! Keep pushing play!!!! Good luck to you

I did the legs and back yesterday and didn't think I would be that sore. I was wrong. I'm waddling around today because my legs and butt are sore.

Still have to do Kenpo, but I was feeling light-headed. Had a hard time eating breakfast this morning because it was making me sick to my stomach. Then had some spaghetti hoping that would help with being light-headed.

Trying to get the gumption up to do Kenpo, and I'm just not feeling it today, but if I can just make it through it, then I have rest day tomorrow. As badly as I've been dragging this week, I really need it.

I probably should have taken the days off when I was seriously sick, but I didn't want to get derailed. I think it's catching up to me.

Awe - hope your feeling better soon!!!! I love kenpo x! I was sore my first week, and now I'm not! Just push through, you'll be fine!!!!

I pushed myself to do Kenpo. Almost upchucked a few times near the end. I was pooped out by the time there was 15-20 minutes left. By then, between the upset stomach and weariness, I was really dragging. I did the best I could with the rest, but I was thrilled when it was cool down time.

I burned about 560 with the workout, butt dragging and all.

Awe, sounds like you need to take a rest day! don't over do it!!!!!!!

I did the x stretch on my rest day at the end of week 1, it was much needed!!!!! I start week 3 of phase 1 on Wednesday !!!! Enjoy your day off!!!!

Well, tomorrow is my rest day. I'm looking forward to it because I'm pretty sure I need it.

Then starts week 3 of phase 1.

Well, I am pretty bummed. Today was scale day, and I had gained weight. It was only half a pound, but with as fat as I am, I was hoping I'd shed some weight.

I need to be down at least 25 lbs by May, and this is not very promising.

Don't get too upset about the scale. So many things could be a factor. And I'm going to bet that you've gained some decent muscle with all this P90X work!! Pretty soon it will start to melt away! Maybe if you weighed in after your rest day to give your muscles time to recover it would be different. At least that is what I am planning to do.

Well, we took our photos tonight and will start the X tomorrow! How is it that I've been married to this man for more than 20 years and given birth in front of him four times yet found those pictures to be so awful?! Yeesh! I have them though and hopefully in 30 days I will be able to see some improvement. And if I start to lose focus I know where to look first! Those pictures ought to get me back on track!

On the Yoga X: my 14 year old daughter did it the other day since she LOVES yoga. She ran through the whole DVD and seemed to enjoy it but I'm not sure I will and I'm pretty positive that my husband isn't going to be doing 90 minutes of yoga! Fortunately for us, in our set that we bought they threw in two extra workouts, one of which is a much shorter (40 minutes I think?) yoga DVD so we might just sub that one for the super long. If we can't stand either of them I'm just going to buy a good yoga DVD and use that but we'll see.

I'm excited! Tomorrow will be tough for me with all those pushups and pull ups (I'll be using the bands) but I know it's going to be worth it! My biceps are bigger than my husbands and it ain't muscle in there so I'm looking forward to slimming those babies up!

I did Kenpo last week just because I needed some cardio and wanted to try it. I LOVED IT! I do Taekwondo so many of the moves were familiar and it was nice having his twist on a few things. However, being that I do already do martial arts I found some of the things I modified to do them the way my TKD instructor has use do them. I don't want to mess up my TKD and the changes aren't anything major so I don't think it's a problem.

So I finished my first week. I don't know about anyone else, but P90X is kicking my butt. WOW! In 1 week I can feel my muscles getting firmer. This is awesome. I also found my ideal time to work out (4:30AM before everyone is up). I am sure to get it in then. So excited!!!!

Very excited to start 7 days from now!
My Body Media should be here in a few days... and I will be all recovered from my illness!! Perfect timing -- and knowing that I have friends and support make it all the easier!

Yay!!!!! I'm excited to start with you girl! You are going to love your BodyMedia! Wow, this must be just like Christmas all over again for you! So much to look forward to!

Haha its better than Christmas! Hopefully the end result will be some weight loss and a better healthier body (and maybe some faster running times too)

I am also going on a scale diet from March 9 - April 24th as well... allowing me to solely focus on the process!

I started my new round today and am feeling AWESOME! I am so proud of myself, I was able to finish the entire Ab Ripper workout as well and I havent worked out in 2 weeks. Woo-hoo! Love P90x soo much! I feel awesome.

Dont feel bad - I am anticipating about 60% of the video I will not be able to do, but I am going to try and maintain a positive attitude!

I did it! I brought it (and then it tried to kill me but I prevailed!) I was actually surprised by how I did. I was expecting to struggle through most things even with modification but found that I need to buy a higher weight resistance band and I need to bump up my dumbell weight. I was doing a 30# band and 10# weights. By the second round I'd switched up to 13.5# dumbells and that was better.

The pushups I'm still on my knees but I was actually able to accomplish them that way. I do 20 on my knuckles during my TKD classes but I don't have very good form. I chose to start on my knees to get my form where it needs to be and then I'll switch to toes.

I don't have a pull up bar so I did all those exercises with the band and definitely need a higher resistance or I'll never move up to the bar!

But I did it! I survived day one and I'm now watching Plyometrics to see what I'm up against tomorrow. Now to see if I will live through my TKD class tonight!
