I really feel great today. I did shoulders and back and upped my weights from 3 and 5 lbs to 8 and 10 lbs. I actually got so much stronger from P90X. I can even do 1 push up. Okay it's not much but it's a real one, not a girlie one on the knees. When I do the Ab ripper X Feifer scissors my legs are straight now. It's a huge accomplishment to me.:blushing:0

Great progress! Every time you do a routine, you should be doing something a little bit better than last time and that is really all you can ask of yourself is doing your best. If you are doing your best, there HAS to be improvement. Great job!!0 -
Happy Saturday, all! Did Kenpo-X today with 3 pound dumbells for the punches, blocks, and elbow moves and burned an extra 120-130 calories than normal...I highly recommend small weights or weighted gloves for those that don't feel like they are getting all that they can out of this workout. My highest heart rate was 175 bpm and my average was around 148 bpm (that includes warmup and cool down). I would venture my actual workout average heart rate at around 153. It was normally hovering between 133-145. I love to eat back my excercise calories and I just earned a snack...WOOT!
I will be scarce on here until tomorrow night after I travel...so Happy Easter! And watch out for that damn candy!! Self-control!!0 -
Back and Biceps is in the books -- and with that I have survived week 5
This was my first attempt at this video, and I did made it all the way through so I am psyched about that.
The pull-ups are getting slightly better - I am still on my chair, but I am totally bringing it and feeling it!
Tomorrow is either a run ... or yoga depending on what my stupid blistered foot will allow me to do!0 -
question for my P90x friends - today is the last day of week 3 phase 2 (or day 49) - however, this past week, I missed tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (or days 45, 46, 47, and 48) workouts. I did Kenpo X tonight just because I wanted to try out my HRM.
So my question - should I do this week over so tomorrow is day 1 of week3 phase 2 (or day 43) or should I just go into recovery week and finish out the program?
Thanks in advance!0 -
It sounds like you missed 2 strength workouts... I personally would do the week over. I am always ok missing the cardio workouts ... but I try very hard to get in the strength workouts!
And now Yoga ... I have found a love/hate/love relationship with Yoga! Its like a mountain that I try to climb!0 -
Core synergistics again today. Tomorrow is yoga but I think I'm going to have to swap it for cardio x. I dont think there's any chance I can carve out 90 minutes during the day. After tomorrow is day 90!!!!0

yes - I missed 2 strength workouts - and that is what I was thinking, I should do the week over, but then again, I also feel like pushing on, I plan on doing another round of P90x (and another and another...hehehehe)
I don't know what I am going to do, but I know I am not stopping!0 -

I would do the workouts you missed before moving on.0 -
Yesterday was YogaX for me. I find it hard to put in 90 minutes workout with the children around so I put them to bed, went to the basement and dimmed out the light. Yoga is supposed to be relaxing so dimming out the light helped with the mood and i wasn't afraid to be interrupted. It really helped me calm down and by the time I was done I was ready to go to bed.
Once, I tried yoga with the heater on. I heard bikhram yoga is done in an overheated room so I tried that. The heat is supposed to help with flexibility and it did help me. However, I sweat enought during YogaX so I have not repeated that. 0 -

If you are trying to stay on a schedule, then move on. If you got some time to work with, I would do the week over to get those strength workouts in...in the long run, it won't make too much difference, especially if you plan on doing multiple rounds.0 -
Happy Easter evening!
Back in the hotel
Heading into week two of Phase 3 and I will need to shake up the week to account for my travel day on Friday. I want to have Cardio-X on Friday due to it being a short work out and I need to knock it out around 4:30am. I am looking at the following schedule (let me know if any of you see any issues with doing it this way):
Monday: Chest, Shoulders and Triceps plus ARX
Tuesday: Kenpo-X (usually Cardio-X)
Wednesday: Back and Biceps + ARX
Thursday: Yoga-X
Friday: Cardio-X (usually Core-Syn)
Saturday: Core Synergistics (usually Kenpo-X)
Sunday: X-Stretch
No strength routines back to back, Core-Syn is pushed back to allow a little more muscle repair and no back to back cardio either and I get the short work out in on Friday morning. I think it will work.
@Soccermum...don't think I would like the increased heat with Yoga-X, I sweat enough...but I may dim the lights. I do everything now by sound anyway. I may try that this Thursday...
@MAK_01 Your are so close! Are you planning another round or are you doing something else?
Enjoy the new week, all!0 -
As it turns out i was right, with all the Easter festivities today I didn't have time for yoga so I wrappped up day 89 with cardio X. Tomorrow is day 90!! I'll post pics and measurements probably later in the day tomorrow.
As for what's next. I'm going to take a couple days off then I'm going to start a new program but not p90x. I'll still work some of the DVD's in during the week. Over this summer I'm going to try doing my workout in the morning (and I honestly don't think I can get up an hour early to do the p90x DVD's). In the evenings I run agility with my dog so between that and all the other stuff I have to do after work I'm not sure I can work an hour in for p90x. 0 -
P90X is over. :sad:
Insanity Day 1 is set for tonight or tomorrow. :sad: :sad: :sad:
Goodluck to the rest of ya!

Is anyone else getting "bored" with the workouts? I am in week 9 of the Lean Program (Shoulders & Arms today). I love the way I feel and how my body is changing, but I am ready to move onto something new, maybe it's just my ADD acting up, lol0
-
Great to know their are P90xer's on here! I finished day 11 today of the Lean. (Legs and Back) Totally loving it! Haven't seen the weight loss I would like but I know it will happen. Has anyone calculated how many grams of protein are required for a Level 3 Phase 1 diet on P90x? Feeling a little bonked from lots of protein and little fat and carbs.0

That depends on your body weight. Set your nutrition guide to custom and put in the percentages P90X recommends for Phase 3. There ya go.0 -

I am not getting bored, but I am taking zumba 2x a week in place of yoga and cardio - but otherwise, I like the fact that I recognize the workouts and know what to expect and I look forward to improving with each go around...0 -

I finished day 44 (again) today - doing week 3 of phase 2 over - did Zumba and used the HRM - I burned 688 calories - cool, I have previously only been logging between 400-500 (just guessing) so I am happy!0

Happy Monday, P90X Peeps!
Killed Chest Shoulder and Triceps today...upped the weights and failed pretty much where I wanted to. I kept off of my knees a lot further in to the routine than normal and upped my pushup count. I can really feel it in my shoulders and chest right now which means I will REALLY feel it tomorrow.
Saved best for last...ALL 349 moves of Ab Ripper X CONQUERED...Did those damn Mason Twists with a couple of fumes left in the tank at the end of the bonus reps. It is now time to go out and hunt and kill a weighted vest (I don't shop, I hunt and kill merchandise). I need something to make it harder now and BRING IT! a little bit more. I still can't see those damn abdominal muscles, but I know that they are there waiting to poke out like Puxatawny Phil. Gotta get that fat percentage down...
Doing Kenpo-X tomorrow instead of Cardio-X (saving Cardio-X for the travel day) and plan on using the 3# dumb bells...makes a huge difference in the calorie burn, all and really works the shoulders, forearms, and obliques when you sling those weights.
Huge props to Adam and MAK_01 for completing P90X...congratulations on the dedication and progress! In four weeks, I will be where you guys are!
Past my bed time, gang. Goodnight!0
