Anyone doing P90X3?

I just joined this group because I will be doing P90X3 this winter and wanted to team up with some others on MFP who are doing it as well for accountability and encouragement. Anyone out there getting ready to start it as well? I completed the ChaLEAN Extreme workout last year. Ready for some Tony Horton in 2015! :)

    I'm thinking about trying this program soon! Let me know how it is when you start. I've done Insanity and I'd like to buy T25 next....but P90X3 looks interesting too. Maybe your experience will persuade me to change my mind and go with P90X3 as my next purchase :)
  • I am in Phase 3 of P90X3 and I love it. It's different than T25, but I can feel and see a difference.

    thanks ladies! I'm finishing up the last phase of my chaLEAN Extreme (I did it over again this fall to get myself back into a more rigid working out schedule) so I will pick up P90X3 probably mid-January. Smckee422, I do not have a pull up bar...is it absolutely necessary that I use one or does Tony offer a modification in case a person does not have a bar?

    No pull-up bar is needed! You just need bands; however, if you can afford a pull-up bar, I'd recommend one! I've completed the program and am about to finish my second round right now, and I can say that after completing several other programs, P90X3 is the one that has single-handedly transformed my body the most.

    Best of luck to you!

    Hey thanks, Ryan Horn! I appreciate your response! I have the bands so hopefully that'll do the trick. Have a great New Year's Day!

    P90X3 reverted back to the original P90X. P90X2 utilized additional equipment.

    Just started P90X3 today. It's my first time trying to do the entire program. I've done bits and pieces of it here and there. I've been doing Body Beast mostly for the past year. Wanted to try something different and am curious what kind of results I might see.
  • My wife and I started P90X 3 on Monday. We both did P90X and lost a lot of weight almost 2 years ago. We had our 6th child and got a little lazy again and now he's a year old and it's time for mom and dad to get right again! We're excited and sore but we know we can get the results we want. Wish much success to all in 2015! Good luck everyone.

    P90x3 was the only program I wanted to stick with. It transformed my body and relieved my back pain to the point of changing my life! I did not miss a single day in the entire program because I looked forward to the workouts and couldn't believe how quickly and completely I saw results. Good luck to all those starting out, you will be amazed at what you can do. I could do chin ups by the end:-) I'm doing t25 now just for some variety but I will start another round of X3 as soon as I'm done.
  • I decided to start it again. We had a group going and kept each other motivated but with my recent move it was hard to start back. But I'm glad I found this group. I just started fresh with P90X3 two days ago. The toughest part for me is letting go of the sweets. My willpower is weak when it comes to that. When I started the first session I lost 27 pounds (Aug 2014-Oct 2014). I have 33 more pounds to go. I'm excited to see everyone's progress. Happy 2015 and good luck everyone!
  • Yes, and I love it. I do not follow the actual work out routines. I mix it up with all kinds of workouts and do two workouts a day. Easy to fit into my schedule with 2 kids and a full time nurse. I include PiYo, Insanity, P90X, P90x3, free weights, Tap Out, etc. I love mixing it up for max results and no boredom.

  • I started P90X3 a week ago and love it!! I'm not overweight at all I just need to tone up. I did P90X in Iraq 5 years ago but had another baby and got lazy again. I'm hoping to see results again.
  • I like the diversity. Good luck. :)

    My husband & I are incorporating both p90 & 3 to fit our busy schedule of driving girls to their sports! If we have time, we try to do p90x hour workout, otherwise 1/2 hour of p90x3. We just started myfitnesspal app & tried to log in p90 in exercise, but quite time consuming! Anybody knows another app that we can add on that calculates p90 workouts?

    I'm in month 3 of my second round of P90X3, and I remember Total Synergistics being so easy my first few times around. It just seems to be getting harder and harder every time!
  • I just started P90X3 today. Healthy eating too. Looking forward to the new me.

    On my 2nd week of P90X3. Dabbled with the other P90 routines but I am loving the 1/2 hour workouts. FYI - doing the Mass routine. Can't wait to see the results.

    I just started p90x3 Monday. (5 days ago). I'm having a little bit of a problem figuring out my nutrition. getting enough calories(about 1900) in while keeping the carbs low(like one serving a day).. does anyone have a example daily log that would work for me? or can someone help me modify mine? would really appreciate the help. :)

    here is a link to what i did today... not enough calories! not really sure what i should do for my snacks.. I thought about buying protein bars but I really cant afford 2 of those a day..

    Also I have a feeling that bananas might not be the best snack because of of the high carbs?

    my goal would probably be 300-310 cals per 'meal' including snacks = 1800-1900 cals.

    trying to maintain a 50% protein, 30% carbs, and 20% fats ratio..

    basically a p90x 'fat shredder' approach

    also... I'm trying to do this without spending more than 50-60 bucks a week at the grocery store..

    Wish I could help you Vieous. I'm not following the nutrition regime. Just the fitness part. I've found that I am more prone to lapse if I do both. To boost your protein intake with low carb go for nuts. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios. Good luck!

    Is anyone interested in sharing their success on P90X3? I am on week 3 of mass routine. Needing some motivation please!
  • I am on day 17 of P90x3 and loving it. I am also following a wheat and grain free diet. I read the book Wheatbelly and use the 30 minute or less cookbook from them faithfully. Lost 40 pounds in 10 months last year and doing P90x3 to tone things up and burn the remaining fat!

    StArted block 2 of x3 this week I like it so far
  • I am at the end of my 2nd week if x3 I like it but think that P90x is much more challenging. But it will be easier to complete. More realistic time to cut out of your day. Good luck on your venture.

    On day 6 of my second round. I love this program. Have tried a few other programs since completing my first round of X3 and came back to it...nothing else compares to the results I got from it. Can't wait to see where another round will take me. Feel free to add me for support/ enciuragenent/ mutual complaining of sore muscles ☺ best of luck to everyone

    Hi everyone! Just finished day 10 of P90X3 Classic routine, really enjoying it so far and can't wait for the results! I'm also following the nutrition guide (1500 calories, 150g carbs, 113g protein, 50g fat) and it's simple enough so far. I'm pretty much weaned off my carb addiction at this point and am cooking from scratch 95% of the time with a green smoothie + protein powder for breakfast every day.

    I think my favourite workout from X3 is Agility X, I dunno why, I just really like this one. Also, Tony really makes me laugh which helps, I know a lot of people say they just wish he'd shut up but if I'm listening to him rambling on, I'm not focussing on the pain in my legs!

    The only thing I'm not happy with is that I cannot do pull-ups! I even got super strong resistance bands to help and I can't even do one with two of those, haha. My upper body is so weak. My legs are crazy strong and I can leg-press 100kg for ten reps (I'm a 5'2 girl) but I can't get anywhere near a pull up unless I use a chair, with one leg helping me it's super hard and I can just about get six!!

    I'll be starting a round of p90x (the original) tomorrow. Although they are different, feel free to add me as a friend anyway. I love p90x and always looking for friends who do it as well.
