Happy hump day! Woo hoo! Another great start to the day! Turbo Fire 45 and abs in the books! Tonight......back & biceps! This is my last week before my 2nd recovery week! Then, it's on to phase III! I can't wait!!! Yesterday I walked the lake twice with my friend, about 6 miles and burned a ton of calories! I'm still amazed at what walking can do for ya! I blasted my 10,000 step goal out of the water with a whopping 18,674 steps!!! :bigsmile: Feeling good and eating good too! Not getting too tired of the tilapia just yet! lol
I see everyone is kicking butt and taking names as usual!
Adam: So sad....no more Tony. But, now you get to have Shaun T in your face! Woo hoo!!!! :bigsmile:
Mak: Nice job on your balance moves! You've certainly brought it this round! So proud of you!
soccermum: what BBL workout did you do? Sometimes, I'll add in the high & tight! Ouch!!!! Talk about a butt workout!
AnneMarie: Exactly what Bob said! Do your best girl! You are rocking it!!!! Keep it up!
Hope everyone else is doing good today! Bring it hard today with your workouts! I know you will!

It is Wednesday and I STILL feel the workout from Chest and Back on Monday...got Shoulders and Arms + ARX this afternoon. It will be like meeting up with an old friend...haven't seen Shoulders and Arms since week 3! Looking forward to upping the weights and seeing how I do on this workout...I have been doing a lot of pushing, pulling, and lifting since I last did this workout. Going to try to fail at 8-10 reps.
I am so ready for the long weekend. I would be lying if I said that work today has been one big goof session since this afternoon. Ready to go back to the hotel and BRING IT! plus I have a nice plate of shrimp waiting for me as well *smacks lips in anticipation*
You all are doing awesome! Keep it up!0 -

Adam, keep me posted on Insanity...it's on my docket for early September this year. I gotta finish this round of P90X and then I am doing another round of P90X Classic in early June...will finish late August.0 -
Core synergistics - DONE. I feel like I really pushed myself today and really focused on getting the core engaged. And It felt great.
Keep it up everyone. Everyone is doing awesome!0 -
My good friend "Shoulders and Arms" returned into my life after a six week absence...I love that routine. Arms are feeling like jelly...I upped my weights substantially and did 20 or more side tri rises (last time I topped out at 16)...I love the steady improvement even after a significant break from this workout. The 20# weights got plenty of use tonight...I will need to get more weights. Ab Ripper X was another good round. I am getting frustrated that my heels STILL hit the deck with about 7 seconds of Mason Twists left. I WILL conquer the bonus round of Mason Twists before I finish!!! I warned my wife if I conquer 100% of Ab Ripper X that I am getting a weighted vest, weighted gloves, and the Tony Horton push up stands. She has been warned!
Phase 3 has already kicked my butt...I have traded sore pecs/lats from Monday for sore arms and shoulders tonight...No Pain, No Gain. You guys keep doing your thing, I will keep doing mine. Travel home a day early tomorrow...I cannot wait.
Take care, everybody!!!0 -
okay - 2 days in a row without a P90x workout - I am going insane! The kids are home from spring break (I have four kids ages 8, 6, 5, and 3) and finding it a bit hard to work it in - along with their schedules of gymnastics and softball (which I coach) and tomorrow I will be at a flea market all day - eek! Not sure exactly what to do to stay on track - it is 2014 and I just got to eat dinner. kept it light though... on a side note, I keep dropping and doing push-ups all over the house - sometimes 7, sometimes 8, sometimes 10, and when I feeling happy up to 20.0

Oh and I finally got a HRM today!! Woo Hoo! I cannot wait to figure out how to use it!0

Good job! That is really a cerebral workout as you can really cheat yourself if you don't engage the core muscles. I had a hard time with this workout in the first phase, but have really gotten better after the "engagement" part finally clicked in my thick skull. I tell you what, I am really running on fumes by the time the bonus round comes up. That workout really takes its toll not only from a strength and conditioning standpoint, but it really has a heavy cardio element as well. If I was forced at gunpoint to throw all of my P90X DVDs but keep one, I would keep this one.0 -

Will do. I've done one of the sessions and it was crazy. Can't wait to get started on it next week.0 -

Polar FT7 (after reading on here it seems to be pretty popular) and it seems super easy, I added my information and it is ready to go! I am very excited!0 -

That's what I use! The only issue I had with it in the early days was getting it wet enough. I get the sensors soaking wet, wet my chest, use water based lubricant on the sensors, and even wet down my shirt to make sure that the darn thing is wet enough and haven't had an issue since.0 -
Made it through 40 minutes of Yoga X tonight for a burn of about 280 calories. I know I should have stuck it out more but I was just dying and my arms and legs were sore. I went 10 minutes longer than last week though and I did a much better job at the Vinyasa's.0

I strongly suggest that when you are to the point of wanting to stop the DVD, that you at least skip past the last VERY HARD vinyasas (twisting half moon...OH MY) and work on the balance postures, stretching exercises, and yoga belly sections...also, the extended cooldown at the end puts me in a nice mellow mood for at least an hour after the workout is over. The best analogy is the first part of Yoga-X (vinyasas) is like the B&W portion of the Wizard of Oz and the second half is like the color portion...night and day. I love getting through the tough part to enjoy the last part...like eating the brussel sprouts to get to the chocolate cake desert...*wink*
Namaste!0 -
hold on there BOB!!! Brussell sprouts are my favorite food - no kidding - if you asked me what my favorite food is, I will always say brussell sprouts - pizza is a close second, but brussell sprouts are my number one!!0

Yeah I just found out that had I stuck it out for 5 more minutes it would have changed to another type... without Vinyasas!
All in all I am proud with what I did ... I schedule Yoga on Saturday next week so that I would have time to do the whole thing... hopefully! I might just stand there during the last 5 mins of Vinyasas... I would like to stretching though ...I need to work on flexibility.
Can I ask a dumb question to the group:
Ok for stretching exercises when they say put your hand on the ground... I can only do that if I slightly bend my knees... but then Tony says straight legs... so which is it? I cant do both ... and I am feeling the stretch.. ?0 -
I haven't posted in this thread for awhile, just been doing my thing (but I am still doing it!) Today was day 60 for me though and I'm too excited about my progress not to share. Weight loss is pretty insignificant (a measly 4 pounds over the last 30 days) but I've lost 9.5 inches in that same 30 day period! My husband will be putting me through the torture of taking pictures here in a few minutes so even if I have to inspect with a microscope at least I know the inches have been coming off!
Other progress, I'm still babying the knees on Plyo but I am still doing plyo (and have lovely new knee braces that have helped immensely! ) My pushups are increasing and I've now done Yoga X twice (whereas before I wouldn't even try and found something else to do). Today I made up my new charts and put them in my notebook so when I'm done with this round I'm already ready for my next go at it. I'm really excited to see what my results are come August when I finish this thing again.
Oh, and it's impacting my Taekwondo very positively! TKD is the whole reason I was interested in P90X in the first place (need to increase the fitness level if I want to earn my black!) My jumping kicks are getting higher and prettier, I'm able to work harder and not feel like I'm going to die and I love how tight and strong I'm feeling! BONUS: My dobok (uniform) is getting really loose on me and the ties at the sides are as tight as they can go! One of my rewards is a new uniform. (The other is a tattoo. Can't wait for that one!)
I've been reading, just not posting. Glad to see new faces and everyone seems to be doing pretty well!0 -

I feel the same way about the DVD as well. Tony was right it quickly became one of my favorites! Today was my other favorite kempo. This might sound lame but I had a personal victory. I was able to do full jumping jacks during the breaks! I've had 2 arthroscopic knee surgeries (1 in each knee) and a pretty major surgery on my left knee and jumping especially carrying extra weight has been extremely painful. (I've always done plyo all modified) i usually do odd 1 leg jumping jacks. But today the knees were feeling good and I was able to them. I so so excited.
Have a great night everyone

Good Friday to all!
erniemj: Different strokes on the brussell sprouts...you can have my share...LOL
emmaleigh: If you aren't currently using a Yoga block, you should be. That is the only way I can maintain some of the poses with straight legs. I don't have the flexibility to go all of the way to the ground with straight legs on a lot of the triangle, right angle, and half moon poses and use the block to compensate.
knittnponder: Great progress at the end of your phase! I am glad you added to the thread again.
MAK_01: I want to clarify something. Core Synergistics is OK, but it is not my favorite. But, in the spirit of fitness, it is the most well rounded video of the entire series in terms of strength and cardio and would serve well as a stand alone video. My favorites are Legs and Back+ARX (cuz of the burn I get) and Kenpo-X (cuz it is fun as hell).
Enjoying the day off...speaking of Core Syn. Got that puppy out of the way today so I can enjoy the day. Take care, all!0 -
Happy Good Friday and Earth Day everyone! Well, yesterday wasn't yoga for me, it was a 9 mile walk, a brisk walk at that! My legs are loving it! Hopefully, they won't give out on me today for legs & back! lol I plan on getting in some cardio too!
Bob: Nice job on Core Syn! I am looking forward to that one next week!
Mak: Great job on the jumping jacks! There was a time when I couldn't do all of them either, like I always say, celebrate every success, big or small! I had knee surgery too, a long time agon and sometimes it does act up. Keep it up!
Fran: We missed you girl! Glad to see you back! Congrats on the results girlfriend! Woo hoo! Nice job! You gotta be happy about that! Sounds like you're just improving everywhere! So, what kind of tattoo are you going to get? An X?! Ha! Ha!
AnneMarie: For that stretch you are questioning, you don't have to put your hands on the ground, but for that particular stretch, it's important to keep your legs straight, but if you can only put your hands on your thighs or shins, that's fine.
Michelle: Mmmm....I love brussel sprouts too! I mean, they're not my fav food; I love pizza way more! But I do like them!
Well, everyone! I may not be on tomorrow, busy day! My son has an all day track & field tournament so I gotta get my lazy weekend butt outta bed early and get my cardio done! But, if we get home at a decent hour, I'll hop on!
Keep up the awesome work all! Have a good weekend and I'll be back!

Happy Earth Day everyone! Just thought I would pop in and say hello. Congrats to Adam and everyone else that is finishing up this round of P90X.
I have been doing lifting/abs, but leaving my knee alone. Today I am contemplating trying Legs and Back. My therpist told me squats and lunges are ok. Just no jumping. But we'll see. He had me doing some crazy hamstring things the other day. Talk about hard to bend over the next day...
I've managed to keep my weight down. Probably losing some leg muscle, but oh well. I'll get it back. I did take measurements again and have lost another inch on the hips, half inch on each thigh and half inch on the belly.
My neighbor/co-worker just started P90X two days ago. I am having fun hearing how sore he is each morning. He said he almost tripped going up the stairs twice this morning from Plyo yesterday.
Have a good Easter weekend!!0 -

bob: you are too funny. i only dab some water on the sensors with my fingers and it's usually enough.
deb: i follow the schedule of brazil butt lift but only one workout a day and not the 2 recommended because it would take me too much time between BBL, P90x and C25K.0
