Starting P90X!

Hey, Teach 'nRun!
I hear you on being busy!
Life getting in a way of fitness - we like that not at all!
I am glad you are not doing doubles, though. I was wondering about that and seemed too much -
on top of everything else you need to do!!!!
I hate to overtrain...:mad:
I am back to more of a 40/30/30 proportion. I realised I need carbs in the morning, for sure. Eating protein only seems to mess me up.
This is only my first round of X so I will play around and find my way with food.
I was expecting my abs to hurt something fierce. I barely feel anything. :huh:
Probably 1 day delay. :laugh:
Are you feeling soreness?
Keep bringing!0 -
My hubby started P90X 2 weeks ago and he LOVES it! I am a Turbo Jam but I'm thinking of going X eventually! I just wanted to say that I LOVE Tony's quote!! (I watch my hubby workout lol)Jenny,
If you like Slim Series, you will love the X.
There are so many different routines that you won't get bored.
Yes, they are challenging and maybe you won't be able to do them perfectly at first, you may have to modify...I still do and I have done 2 rounds...
You will notice when you make improvements and celebrate them.
As Tony would say "Do your best and forget the rest"!
Have fun with the workouts!

YAH!
This one cracks me up every time:
'my head weights 600 pounds and not a thing in it!"
think because Tony talks so much, I am having trouble keeping counts of my repts!
I did a little better yesterday, but cought myself greening at his blubbler and not counting!
Got to love the man, but boy, he talks more than my husband!!!0 -
Shoulders and Arms-DONE! I like this one better than back and chest. Must be the dang pull ups and push ups, which I need!
I was a bit sore the first time with shoulders and arms. Never sore from the abs, which I am wondering about. I certainly have trouble doing all the reps :noway:
Legs- a different story. I was WAY sore!!!! For days!!! I am debating doing that work out on Friday, as I don't want to mess up my race.
Mamad: I enjoy Turbo Jam, too, but this is such a different workout. Give it a try.
I also enjoy Tony's chatter. I accidently hit , music and cues only. I got lonely and restarted
Keep PP girls!0 -
TeachNrun!
we are AB freaks, you are! LOL!
I need to do Yoga!
NOW!!!
I mean RIGHT NOW!!!
I was hungry, grabbed an apple, so now that's settling nicely in the tummy, off I go (I want to watch TV, whaw!)
Laters!0 -
Ab Ripper X-done!
How was yoga?0 -
I'm glad someone else gets distracted by his comments but it make the workout fun. You don't realize how much work your doing until it's done. I found that if I count loudly it helps keep me on track -- sounds silly but it works for me :laugh:0

Ab Ripper X-done!
How was yoga?
Looong! :laugh: but, really, I love it!!
It is really easier to do Yoga at night.

Jenny, this week unfortunately I had to go back to the Treadclimber per doctors orders. I have back and knee problems so my Ortho MD has advised me to switch back an forth for awhile until my body get's used to the extreme workout. She doesn't have a problem with me doing the program but feels I jumped in thinking I was 16 instead of 40. :laugh: So for the next 4 weeks I will be alternating from Treadclimber one week to P90X the next. Thanks for asking. How's your workout going and how long have you been doing the P90X?0

Hi, Jess!
Say your DH I said HI!!!!0 -
PIB!
I am in my second week!
Soulds like you have a very good Ortho MD!
I wish I had one to tell me what to do!
Slow and steady winds the race!0 -
Hi, Jess!
Say your DH I said HI!!!!
I will! He is rockin' the pullups and doing awesome! This is his 2nd round, and my 5th! LOVE P90X!!!!
Jess0 -
Holy Batman, Jess! You have been a busy girl! I wish my DH would work out with me. I thought that was the purpose of P90X. He has been on the treadmill a bit and he tried to join me with Ab Ripper. He made it through 2 sets. So, he's moving in the right direction.
Ab Ripper was good. The exercises that get me are the V up/ reach up combo thing and the last one with the knuckles. There is one other that I can't think of.
Best of luck, Evil. Sounds like you have a good doc!0 -
Thanks, having a supportive MD does make a difference because they will tell you when you are being stupid... LOLHoly Batman, Jess! You have been a busy girl! I wish my DH would work out with me.

That is so true, slow & steady win's the race. I believe a lot of people jump in like I did and get hurt or discourage because they can't finish a workout.PIB!

Morning!
I was tired and my contractor totally stood in my way of working out.
Can't spit against the wind: this week I exercise in the evening, so be it.
Legs and back tonight!
Feeling heavy and scale reflects it too - almost 140 pounds today, like 2-3 pounds of water weight!!!!
Just sharing with you so you can observe if you have similar weight fluctuation - SO DON'T PANIC ABOUT IT!!!0 -
Hi, Teach! :flowerforyou:
Hi, PIB - replied to your e-mail, but will check for more info later in the day.

That's me. :laugh: It took me a while for my dh to join me also. He only joins me on the weight workouts, I can't get him to do Kenpo or Yoga. A few years ago he tried TaeBo w/ me and it was hilarious!!! He has NO coordination!!! :laugh: At least he's using the TM and doing ARX!!
It was yoga for me this morning and I'll swim laps while my dd's are at swimming lessons tonight!

Jess, supermom you!
Have fun with swimming!

Kenpo is done!!!!
whew!

Jenny got your reply and when I hear back from Beachbody, i will post any/all information provided pertaining to calories burned during workouts.
I asked them to give me an estimate of how many calories are burned for each workout on the "Lean" cycyle0 -

I did my last run before the race this morning. Tomorrow I think I will try one of the P90X cardios! I am so excited to try one!!! Saturday I have an informational meeting for the relay and go to pick up my packet. The race is about an hour from our home. I will be the last runner, which means I won't run until close to noon.
Sounds like quite the remodel you have going on Jenny.
On the calories burned: I am assuming the cardio are burning 600 calories. I am burning around 350 cals. on the strength dvds.
Have a great evening, one and all!0 -
Tried KenpoX this morning for the first time. I liked it! I feel like Turbo Jam prepared me well. I knew the basic punches and kicks for I could really work on form today.
For the calorie record, I burned 379. I am 38, 5 foot 4, and around 132. Just for comparisons sake.
I was afraid to check the HRM because I did not think I would have burned that many.So, not the 600, but I'll take this.
Think I'll try to get in AR tonight, and I'll try Yoga or Stretch tomorrow. I'm up for opinions from those of you who have done those WO. Would they be good the day before my race?
Have a great Friday!!0 -
Good morning!
New day!
New work out!
Life is good!
Legs and back in order for me!
See you in a bit!!!!0 -
StretchX for me this am. It was nice!
What's up for everyone else?0 -
Well, I am a walking zombie today, but still managed to start unpacking my kitchen and even cooking dinner right now.
Since I barely slept last night, I took a day off from Kenpo. I will do that tomorrow.
It is nice to have a kitchen, folks! 5 months W/O stove or a sink teached you to appreciate running water, and all that jazz..
DH and I went food shopping and he was as excited as I to get real vegetables and meats as opposed to frozen veggies and TV dinners!!!
Yeah, so I am cooking fish, steam zucchini and a salad (not form a box either). Yeah, baby!
Hope you guys enjoying yourselves but staying on track!
Bring it!!!0 -
Morning!
Great morning for me!
I am up and ready to bring it!
This is my third week on P90X!!!!
I cannot believe it!!!
This is AWESOME!!!
See you in WOWY!
