P90X Advice

I think C and B is the hardest P90X workout, just a brutal one. Plyo is Plyo, I like Shoulders and Arms I think the best. Yoga I hated in the beginning but believe me youll be looking forward to it sooner than later, but it is tought in the beginning. Legs and Back is another tough one for me, and Kenpo is a nice one to round out the week. X Stretch I did for about 7 or 8 weeks my first round then I just rested. Just wait until your recovery week. Also when the workouts change in week 5.
Nutrition is the hardest part. I planned everyting out ahead of time. I prepared all my food before I left for trips. I fly 4 day trips mostly, so I just found it easier to bring my food with me as opposed to trying to find food in airport terminals.0 -
I think the biggest hurdle is spreading my meals out to several a day. Starting to get the hang of it. As long as I avoid fried foods and the occasional greasy burger, I think I'll be fine.0

Yep I eat 6 meals a day 3 are shakes.
Breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, snack, dinner, casein shake before bed.
Try to eat clean like 90 % of the time and you should be golden.0 -
Let me know if I'm doing this right. Here's today's menu:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with a little milk and sugar
Snack: Special K protein bar
Lunch: Spinach leaves with strawberries, peanuts and raspberry vinagrette dressing
Snack: Banana
Dinner: Grilled chicken with rice
Shake before bed0 -
that looks like alot of carbs. If you are following the P90X plan thats probably a little heavy on carbs for the first month. More protein less carbs. The first phase you are trying to cut, you gradually increase carbs and dec. protein in the following phases.0

Gotcha, that's probably why I'm not really losing any weight.0

Recovery Week #1 has begun. I say recovery loosly, since there's a lot of Yoga in it, which is pretty sweat-worthy.0

Your body needs it enjoy it while it last cause you should change up the diet and the workouts a bit M and W anyway. Keep plugging away man!0
