    won't b able 2 get 2 exercise til 2morrow then it'll just b a mile or 2 walk/joggin, haven't decided yet. plus i'll b back on the p90x =P

    keep up the good work every1!!!! u're doin AWESOME!!! :drinker: <--water

    Wow! I am sooo proud of you for finishing the half marathon ... I just did my first one about 1 month ago and it was a great feeling. Was this your first? You did an awesome job... its not about time its about finishing. Did you know that less than 1% of the US has completed a half or full marathon... you rock! Too bad you didnt live closer... I could use some running buddies.

    Its my rest day today ... my legs are quite sore from the combo of Kenpo and Legs and Back... so what am I doing...
    Yep, I am going to go run 7 miles because thats what my training plan says!

    See, that's a great attitude. That's why I continue to follow my hybrid of workouts on a calendar that I create with each round. Of course I have a calendar at work, calendar in my email at work, but I have a fitness calendar that i created and X off each day. I made it through Windows calendar maker. No excuses!!!

    I got over zealous on Friday and overdid it with the pullups. The muscles below my armpits are so sore I thought I pulled something. I have been using IcyHot like an addict. I can barely raise my left arm.
    I only got 4 hrs of sleep Fri night, so I took a 3 hr nap instead of working out yesterday. It would have been pointless. So today I am going to suck it up and do Kenpo and some stretching. Tomorrow I doubt I will want to do pullups so I may do Core Syn instead. (It's funny, I can hear my husband doing Plyo in our basement right now, hopping around like mad, we have to share our basement tv so I'm "scheduled" for this afternoon!)
    Looking forward to Week 2!!!

    Congrats on the marathon. That is great!

    Got my burst of energy somehow today. Warmed up with 10 min on the elliptical. Then KenpoX. Then tried the second 30 min of YogaX but still didn't like it. So I went back to the elliptical for 15 min and then ran 1 mile. Wow, where did that come from?!
    The Yoga is fine. I can do it. But my HR is around 90 and I barely burn any calories. I think I'm going to start doing my own cardio on Yoga days and then do Yoga on the rest day.
    I also think some of my TaeBo workouts are better then Kenpo as far as sweat inducing. I enjoyed the Kenpo, but thought it was a little slow at times. Does anyone else substitute for Kenpo?
    At the end of Week 1 I am down 1 lb! I'm not taking measurements until Phase 1 is over. How is everyone doing?

    Week 2. Did Kenpo today. I was dragging since I am so tired. This week I'm going to go to a gym kickboxing class instead it is way more intense. I feel like Kenpo is kind of easy. Chest and Back tomorrow...When will I be able to do a real pull up or push up?

    I'm just finishing up my third week on the lean program. Did Kenpo today and then got on my treadmill for 30 minutes. My HRM came yesterday and I wanted to see where the calories would be according to it. My HRM's were higher than what my treadmill gave me but I'm thinking that's because my heart rate was up from the Kenpo. I love that I will actually be able to log the calories that I burn doing p90x. Tomorrow is my rest day and then I start my recovery week. I haven't looked at the what I do that week, but I hope there's a lot of cardio. I'd like to use that week to really burn some calories and lose a couple of pounds.

    Keep up the good work everyone!!

    We haven't done Kenpo is a long time. My husband is trained in Krav Maga, so he thinks the moves in Kenpo are pretty weak. Subbing it out for TaeBo is a good choice.

    Yay! Day 4 down! Yoga x wasn't too bad. The repetition in the beginning was a little boring but I liked the rest. I'm a yoga fan anyway though! Tomorrow legs and back and arx....that should be interesting since my legs are still really sore!!

    Day 4 down here as well. I actually enjoyed yoga x. I thought it was a pretty decent yoga program.

    I restarted today, and have Day 1 under my belt. I didn't push as hard as last time, so hopefully I won't be as sore, and can actually complete a whole week. :wink:

    Finished Legs and Back today for week three. I have come to think that the Legs workout is the hardest one in the series so far that I've done. Every time it wears me out and I get a really high calorie burn from it as well.
    What is your Favorite/ Best Burn cd in the series???

    I'm really digging the Plyometrics. I was afraid my knee wouldn't like it, but it hasn't been a problem as long as I have my brace on and I modify some of the jumps.
    The funny thing is that all the exercises in Legs are things I have been doing at physical therapy for several months now, so I actually find it easy. There is the one move where you put your back leg on a chair and do lunges... and instead of putting your front foot on the floor (P90X) I have to put it on a Bosu and balance at the same time! Try it if you are looking for a challenge. Tough stuff.

    Did chest and back today. It's week 3 and I'm still terrible at push ups and pull ups. Getting discouraged... I thought I was pretty fit until push ups and pull ups.

    Hi Everyone,

    I started week 2 today of phase 1. I'm doing the Lean program. This is my first time doing P90X. Was wondering which program the girls are doing? Classic or Lean? If you've done both, which one did you have better results with?

    Well, I was going to do my Legs & Back workout on Friday but got distracted by all of my new baby chickens and never got to it! The weekend was crazy busy too plus somewhere along the way I tweaked my knee a little bit. So I decided to just wait on the workouts until today in hopes that I would feel better. I does feel a lot better but I skipped Taekwondo just to make sure. I did do the Arms and Shoulders workout along with ARX and that went fairly well. The Arms & Legs I was feeling wimpy but I just realized that it's probably because I cleaned out the chicken coop today (for my big chickens) and that was a pretty good workout in itself (especially on the arms with all that shoveling!)

    ARX went better than any other time so far so the days off apparently were a good thing! I think tomorrow I will do the Legs & Back workout since I missed it last week. Then maybe I'll do Plyo on Thursday since I hate YogaX. I have to admit to being tempted to flake out this evening and skip my workout since my schedule was all messed up but I knew if I did I'd end up quitting entirely so I made myself push play. Once I started I was fine but man is it just hard to push play some days!

    Are chickens your hobby, or a living? Sounds interesting.
    I have been changing up my routine due to scheduling and soreness. As long as you round it out and push play 6 days a week I think you are doing great. You have to listen to your body. I gave my arms another rest day and had an amazing Plyo day instead!

    They're a hobby but as the new batch comes into lay I will probably sell the excess eggs. I already had 8 grown layers and now I've just purchased 16 little ones so around July we'll be overrun with eggs! At least we high protein diets, lol. I love the baby chicks but I find sitting out next to the grown hens reading a book, gardening or knitting to be one of the most relaxing things ever.

    I will keep pushing play! I will see this program through! Tonight was a night I had to really decide if I was going to keep that promise to myself and the fact that I did just got me all fired up all over again! Plus I like that my jeans are getting loose! :wink:

    Thanks for the encouragement!

    Day 2 Plyo done! I'm a little sore again from Day 1, but not near as bad as the first time I did it. I should be able to continue to day 3. I really want to see this through, and have rewards set up for myself as I go.

    Keep it up guys. I'm in the middle of Week 4 and enjoying the lighter load. So glad I decided to do P90x went from 192 to 181 in less than 4 weeks! I feel so great...getting those looks I haven't since high school! So keep it up guys. If you eat right and follow the plan, it is well worth the hard work!

    Hello!!!!! I'm baaaacckkkk!!!!! Yesterday was the restart of week 1 and I felt great! It felt soooo good to push play again! And the bonus.........I felt stronger than I did last week! I got in more reps this time around so woo hoo for me! Today is plyo and I'm ready to bring it! I'm also down another pound so I know all this protein and the eating clean is working!

    You guys are doing great! Keep up the energy and continue to push play! Summer is right around the corner and I know I'm going to be ready, are you?! Let's do this!

    I started my second round of P90X on Saturday 3/5. Doing the classic version this time, as I did the Lean version last year around this time.

    I haven't had any problems getting back on the horse so far, except Plyo killed me. I never did it in the Lean version so that was a totally new and rough experience. I still feel like I can barely walk the stairs, even after doing Yoga this morning!

    Oofda, Plyo kicked my butt today...but I burned about 900 calories according to my HRM, so that's awesome! I also lost over 3 pounds between yesterday and today....so, I'd say, not bad! Hopefully, they'll stay off....but, I'm doing my best to bring it, and keep on pushing! I love this group!

    cnance: Welcome! So, what were your results like with the Lean version if you don't mind me asking. I have a friend who started with the classic recently and then decided that the lean was for her. I bet plyo was an eye opener for ya! Way to bring it!

    blueviolet: Woo hoo!!!! Nice burn! 900 calories left behind! See ya! And congrats on the weight loss, incredible! I bet you feel awesome! Just makes you want more, huh? I love that feeling! Keep up the great work!
