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

I was just wondering the same thing....I really want to join this challenge, but I don't want to build so much muscle as much as I want to reduce fat. Therefore, would it be better for me to do the Lean, or the Classic? Also, I want to train for a 5K in June. Should I do running as well as P90X?

Welcome! I'd love to have you join us. But, don't think of it as a challenge necessarily, just a group of us getting together to talk about our experiences with the program and to support and motivate each other. Don't worry about bulking up, won't happen. You can do what I'm going to do and that is, I'm going to lift heavy but not too heavy and try to do more reps with lighter weights as opposed to less reps with heavier weights, make sense? I want to maintain my lean muscle I already have so I think that's what I've decided to do. Also, I do have (somewhere) a schedule from a friend who is a runner on how to incorporate running into your P90X schedule if any of you would like it, let me know.

I wouldn't mind seeing the running schedule... Thanks.

Ok..if I were to do this..(.have the cd's ) ...what equipoment do I need...can I use just resistance bands? Do I have to have the pull up bar??

MCLAHEY - to get started you can use resistance bands. The DVD's will show you how to modify with that bands. I would also recommend some weights and a yoga mat.

Dara - I couldn't do those Rock Star jumps at first either. My husband still does them better than me. You will get better. I hope tomorrow's workout and day goes better for you.

HEy, I just started P90X on Feb. 14th with my boyfriend along with myfitnesspal. So far it's going great. Hope to see results soon. Our first time round. Good Luck to everyone.

awesome! today was day 15 for me, and I have already lost 1.5 inches in my hips, and 5.4 lbs, you will see great results! keep pushing play!

I still can't do Rock Star jumps the "correct" way...same with Jump Tucks. My body just freezes halfway through and I cannot get my legs all the way back. It's like I have some fear of not getting my legs back down fast enough to catch me. So, I modify them. With the Jump Tucks I don't bring my legs up at the same time. I'll jump off the ground with one leg, bring it up to tap my hand on the way up before getting it down quick and bringing my other knee up to hit my other hand. I then switch which side I bring up first. I can do that easily, just not both legs at once. I think it's more mental than physical. I still try to do them the "correct" way whenever I first start.

I really did NOT like YogaX! I got through about 40 minutes of it and had to stop as it was beyond uncomfortable and boring. (Please note: I've never done an actual yoga program before. Just a few sporadic exercises on the Wii). So I switched over to StretchX and that felt wonderful! I'm hoping that next week when I'm a little stronger and a little less sore I can do the yoga. Although, they sent me two free workouts with my P90X set and one of them is a 40 minute yoga program from the Plus program. I think I may start with that one and work my way up to the longer one since I've never done yoga before.

I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be today though so that's good news! I'm a little nervous for tomorrow and those legs and back. I watched it and it looks pretty intense! Will I be able to walk Saturday? My kids have 4-H Rifle shooting and I have a paid cake order to do! :ohwell:

Oh and I have to comment on Leg & Back. That's one of my FAVORITE p90x workouts! It's so intense, but thats why I like it so much. You can definitely feel it the entire weekend, but for me when I can feel the workout I am so happy because I know I did something good for my body. I am so excited for legs & back tomorrow! I just dread yoga.

Hello all. I figured it was time to say something instead of lurking. :0) I'm actually on Day 15 of my first round of P90x Classic. I just wanted to say hi and thanks for all the support you've already given me. Also, is it weird that I'm starting to like Chest & Back? Have a great night!

Did day 4 today: YOGA. Not really a fan... I feel like an hour and a half is very long for yoga, or anything really. Oh well. Hope you all are doing well.

Just finished my shoulders, arms, and abs. LOVE that workout. I got a better burn than the cardio.

The abs workout kills me, but I am definitely improving, and fairly quickly.

I'm at the same place in the program - lovin' shoulders and arms, too. I'm thinking I need to go out and get 10 lb. dumbbells for a couple of the moves, but on most of the others my 5 and 8 lbrs. work. Can't wait to see more improvement on the ab ripper.

Found out today my husband and I are going to Cabo at the end of April so I really have something to keep me motivated!!

I will receive mine in 5-7 business days- lol. see y'all then im already nervous and yall all have me scared of hating the yoga eeeekkkkk :glasses:

Lindajay - that should definitely keep you on track. My husband is putting the down payment on our annual vacation next week. And I found some cute clothes in one of my fave clothes catalogs www.metrostyle.com. So bring on Spring!!! :happy:

Can I see that schedule? I am going to continue to train for my half marathons!
