p90x - Round 1 beginners

Just finished Kenpo and LOVED it! Kept "in the zone" for all but beginning and cool down!

Just finished Kenpo, what a great workout, got a great sweat going. I was able to do everything so I feel good about that. Looking fowardr to a day of rest but I'm going to give the stretch a try since it's the first time and I gotta see what is all about.

Hi there -- one more workout tomorrow and then it will be time for recovery and then onto Phase II
I am doing a hybrid of P90x and half marathon training...

To the person who said Legs and Back is easy ... OMG I envy you so much right now. I can make it all the way through the arms and chest video... but legs and back I have only made it 2/3 of the way...

Oh and I cant do a pull up -- me and my chair are friends!

Oh yeah, the wall squats were a killer!

Day 5 done. I agree wall sits are killer. Legs definitely started to wobble during that. Overall still feel pretty good after the exercises. Soreness is there but a good sore.

Finished Kenpo. Loved it. Also got my HRM today. Said I burnt 883 calories doing it. Makes me wonder if I might of way undercut myself for calories burnt during plyo with saying 600.

For those that have a HRM, do you stop the training recording before cool down or when your heart is back down to normal? I waited till my heart was back down to normal to stop it and I kind of feel like it effected my average heart rate. While exercising it seemed to be steady between 165-175 with the max being 185 according to the HRM. But since I waited till my heart rate was below 100 to turn off the exercise tracking, my average dropped to 150. But I guess the calories burn would be more accurate waiting till heart rate is below 100. What do you think?

Week 2 day 1 of lean - man i love dripping in sweat after the Tony Horton workouts!

Just finished day 2 of p90x. Any others out there who are just starting? Check in here for questions, answers, and support.

I just ordered it a day or 2 ago, can't WAIT to get started!

Quick question to my fellow P90X 'ers. I've incorporated the P90X cardio exercises into my weight lifting program since running is just way too boring for me, and was wondering how you chart down the cardio done on this sites workout charts.

By the way, I can't wait for Plyo tomorrow!

Did the yoga this afternoon. I found it kinda boring, maybe I'll like it better next week. What do you all think of the yoga x? Those with HRM, how many calories are you burning?

I dont' like the Yoga either. It's way to long. I'm going to start sustituting with another Yoga. Either Jillian Michaels Meltdown or Biggest Loser Yoga.

Doing Day 2 today (Classic)

WOW!! 883? I Just finished plyo and burned 450. Really wanted over 500 and pushed hard but didn't get there. I wait until i'm out of the zone before stopping my HRM.

LOVE kenpo as well, it's a fun work out!

Thanks for the info. I was thinking about it a little more and it doesn't really matter if it effects my average heart rate. If I'm checking my heart rate during every mini break between exercises, I know if I'm dogging it or not anyways. So the main thing would be knowing when I should turn it off for the most accurate calorie burnt number.

And congrats on making your Feb and March goals!

Day 10 in the books. I'm amazed at my improvements just in one week. I lifted weights before, not a lot, but enough where my arms are toned, so that has helped. But, comparing week 1 to week 2 so far, I upped the weight on each side by 2.5 lbs and still did the same # of reps. I also don't wear out as quick.

Ab Ripper is still tough for me, I hate the bicycle and reverse, I can do about half of each. I can do them all, but just not the amount they do on the DVD, they are tough. If they are doing 349, I'm probably doing 250 at best.

I also started a recovery drink (Dark Matter) over the weekend and that seems to have helped, my body isn't sore really much at all.

Down 3 lbs as of this morning. Having an impossible time trying to consume even 1800 calories a day but getting close to the 50/30/20 p/c/f ratio. Love my healthier eating habits and haven't had much in the way of cravings. The temptations over the weekend were there, lots of good beer, cookies, and pizza. And none of interested me. Sticking to my goals, no matter what. Well, I hope!

Keep with it all!!
