P90X Advice

You do not do the discs in numerical order. The way it works is basically a weekly rotation followed by a non lifting week. Week 1 Day 1 is Chest & Back w/ Abripper, Day 2 Plyometrics, Day 3 Shoulders & Arms w/ Ab ripper, Day 4 Yoga, Day 5 Legs & back w/ Ab ripper, Day 6 Kenpo, Day 7 rest or stretch. You repeat that for the first 3 weeks. Week 4 is a combo of other things. Week's 5-6 have another combination, etc. You need the worksheets. You can get them off the beachbody website or from a number of other sources on th web. Could also get an app for your phone. I personally use 90Droid for android phones.

I would agree with what you NEED before you start, if you want to be successful in finishing the entire program. The fitness and nutrition guides are just as important as the discs, if not more. Can you get your hands on those from your friend?

I have some information I posted on P90X: http://bit.ly/WhatisP90X. And yes, I'm a Coach too, but only here to help if need be. You can have success with it and reach your goals...just have to be prepared before you dive in.

Best of luck
