p90x - Round 1 beginners

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!

I just keep it simple. I log everything I do each night under one exercise, and just enter the calories burned according to my HRM.

So today is Yoga...I just don't think I can bring myself to do it. I'm thinking of doing plyo again, LOVE the calorie burn I get from it. Thoughts or suggestions?

I've notice a big difference this week in my my strength and I'm not as sore as I was the first week! I'm surprised how fast I'm improving on my ability to keep up!

You enter the exercise yourself and log in the calories your HRM says you burned.

how about you add the stretching to the end of the plyo workout or do a few of the yoga positions? i

It's yoga for me tonight, but I'm sticking with it. I like to think big picture and I figure the benefits of keeping it in my routine will benefit me in the long run. I don't think it would have included it if it wasn't important.

Day 8 done now. 82 more to go. Going to love typing "Day 82 done. 8 more to go."

week 2 day 1, chest and back is done! This workout along with back and biceps are the two I look forward to the most. Now at work and I can feel the pain in my abs from ab ripper. love it!

Week 2 day 4 Yoga done, it wasn't as boring as last week.

I actually agree. I didn't mind it as much. I wish it was maybe 15-20 minutes shorter though! My goal here is to do the wheel by day 90, I don't know if my body was meant to bend like that!

I agree that it could be a litte shorter, 90 minutes is a long time! I "can" do the wheel, BUT, I choose not too, as I get a cramp when I do!, lol I'm glad I stuck with it. Good for for you for plowing though it too!!

Week 2 plyo done! as far as yoga, i do mix it up a bit. I do the first 50 min until it gets to the balance postures (no thanks) I then fast forward until yoga belly 7. it takes about 20 min off and it helps. In the past it didnt seem to effect my results at all.

Today was day 5 for mefor the lean schedule! I think the hardest part for me to do si the ab ripper - its almost impossible ... Also the 1st 45 mins of yoga was pretty bad too.. but the last 45 mins not so much. Im excited to see what my results are going to be at the end! I love it!

I'm doing Lean. I got to the 3rd week, but I took 3 days off one time, and 2 days off another... Both due to drinking. I've vowed not to drink anymore as it's just an all-around setback, and now I've restarted to punish myself! Today was Day 2 of Lean, but I'm doing extra. Yesterday I did Core and Abs, today it was Cardio + an 90 mins of studio yoga. If anyone wants a p90x buddy I'd love to chat about it! I think my friends are getting sick of hearing about it.

Ok I only made it 30 minutes with Yoga ... (first time was yesterday) but I didnt think it was boring... hmm you must in much better shape than I

Me? In better shape?? haha! I don't think so but I have always been quite flexible so that helps. I didn't mean boring as is too easy, it's more the repetitive slow nature of yoga. It most definitely was by NO means easy, LOL!

And I have to tell you that I am SOOO impressed with your running abilities!! I'm very jealous! :flowerforyou:

Finished Plyo yesterday. Just didn't post it in time. Still pushing play.

Okay, I work in the liquor industry, I'm a wine buyer. I love beer and wine. I honestly have tried to go 30 days without a drink in the past and have never been able to. I don't drink a lot, maybe a bottle of wine or so a week and/or about 6-9 beers a week (mostly in the summer, on weekends). I had a party last weekend with 50 people over, lots of beer and drinks. I was grilling all the food, I love to drink a few beers while grilling, especially on a nice day. It was very hard, I thought about having "just" one, but then I figured that might lead to another, etc etc. I stuck to water the whole day. I was very proud of myself. I'm going to hold out as long as I can!

I'll be your P90X buddy, I love talking about it.

Thanks for the messages of support you guys, that really helped motivate me to give it my all today. Week 1 Day 1 of p90x and my arms are sore like crazy, but I feel really energized! I actually am liking the format of it with the periodic one minute breaks. I'm not used to that set-up in my routines but that made sure I didn't have to stop and take my own breaks at any point. Looking forward to tomorrow, although my arms may protest some haha.

Wow, I really Kenpo X! Week two *almost* in the books, tomorrow's my day of rest, so close enough! 11 short weeks to go. Weeeeeeee.....!
