    I will start my workout today for p90x lean, but the thing is I cant finish my whole workout because I can only do my workout on my 1 hour break. So I need to stop by 45minutes then cool down. After work need to take care of my 6 months baby and if she sleep early and I still have energy I will do by ABripper X... I hope this will be enough

    This is what happens to me everytime, no time for Ab Ripper X cuz of my 8 month old daughter. Good luck and just do your best! :)

    Week 4 day 1 for me. Shoulder is still wonky. Made through half of the yoga DVD before it really started to tweak the shoulder. :-/
    I'll just baby it a little more.

    Good idea. You have to rest it up to not injure urself any further.
    Do you ice/heat it?

    Oh it BURNS!!! But I was able to keep going and not stop. Still feeling it this morning! Plyo today, hope I can find the energy to BRING IT!!

    That's cuz you're a lean, mean, fat burning machine!!!! :-p
    Good job! And thank you. Your attitude keeps me going when I wanna skip a workout. (but not Yoga. lol)

    Yea, I've done ice/heat. Pretty sure I jammed it while I was fighting last week. I was fighting someone new to the sport and didn't really know what they were doing. It'll get better. I'm just impatient and have never been good at babying injuries.... :-/

    Starting week 2 of the lean cycle. Loving the program. Adjusting three schedule a little bit though. No getting enough out of cardio x so I'm going to alternate between kempo and plyometrics each week. Tomorrow I'll do plyo.

    Also, i added ab ripper x after core synergistic today.

    I hate it when that happens. Its always the newbies you have to look out for.

    Week 4 day 1 Yoga. It was as ok as Yoga can be I guess. So far I'm down 2 lbs since starting. Will be interesting to see my measurements at the end of the week but I'm not expecting any huge changes at this point. Who knows though maybe I'll be surprised!

    Kenpo X was a good workout today. Still my favorite DVD. Another day done. Couple more weeks to go.

    Plyo is officially my most hated workout. I dread it every week. It just really kicks my butt, which I guess is good, but I can still hate it. As if Monday's weren't bad enough. Plus there is the Dominick thing, I have to look away when they show him, he gets my blood boiling. I think I love the other 6 days of the week though, yep even Yoga now.

    if you can afford it get p90x + as the cardio workouts are only 52 minutes our less including warm up and cool down. Just as hard work as plyo but slightly shorter.

    My problem with Plyo and any other workout where I'm supposed to jump or get air, I work out in a room where I can touch the ceiling if I stand on my the tip of my toes. I have a two long hanging light fixtures with a pull up bar attached to beams half way in between them. I have an area of about a foot and half between the light fixtures and pull up bar for my head to go between during each jump. Plyo sucks.

    I must say, doubles isn't that hard afterall. The cardio in the morning feel great! I'm so glad I saw your post before I started it. Thank you!

    Just posted this elsewhere, but I thought it is worth sharing with my fellow p90x'ers. I started taking my apple cider yesterday and we'll see what it does
    ===

    From the Cleveland Clinic Daily Wellness Tip: A daily dose of vinegar helps get rid of body fat.

    Want to rev up your body’s fat-burning engine? Add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to your daily diet. Research shows that obese people who took one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar a day dissolved more body fat than those who were on an identical vinegar-free diet. According to the study, the tart condiment packs a one-two punch for people trying to shed their love handles. Not only does it help the body burn fat, it also makes it harder for the body to store it. Though two tablespoons of vinegar a day may help keep fat away, it should not replace a sensible diet or exercise — your golden road to sustained weight loss. When dieters stopped taking vinegar, their levels of body fat returned to their pre-study levels within just four weeks.

    Hey everyone! I just ordered P90X today. I was going to wait until I got back from my vacay in June but WTH, why wait right? I can get started, miss the week and either pick it up when I get home, bring the disks with me or redo the previous week.

    Wow, a serious amount of protein! Not sure whats up with my recommended Protein intake from MFP, it says about 78 grams, but I normally do 125 grams+.

    Did Kenpo X+ tonight, much better work out than the standard Kenpo as it doesn't let up with all those paused. I ended up losing a tiny bit more calories over a shorter workout.

    It will only work if you make it work. Do the time. Eat right. You'll see results.

    Oh and the burn goes away. I was sore all over the first week. No more.

    Oh dont worry about that. I'm all in on this thing. I'm just a little nervous because I have worked out before(cardio adn weights) and ate right with not a lot to show. i lost weight but didn't get the definition I was looking for. I know I will get some results, but I will be disappointed if I don't get results I'm hoping for.
    I'm not expecting to look like the guys on the video, but I want a flat stomach and a lean look.
    From the before and after pics that I see from people on here, I think that should be attainable.

    did My Plyometric today...
    what kind of exercise can I put in my log aerobics?

    Day 2 Recovery week. Core Syn. I liked it when I was doing it in place of Plyo the first two weeks but today I just wanted to shut it down. Dreya drives me crazy (in all the workouts she's in). I'm not sure why. I think I get some kind of "Teacher's Pet" vibe from her. Lol maybe I'm nuts. It's possible!
    Anyway - day 2 done. Honestly I don't think I'm going to see much progress by the end of this week! Only down 2 lbs and don't feel that different although I do really like the program regardless.

    the only way i've see people, including myself, track p90x workouts is logging it as cardio with the calories burned from your heart rate monitor. create an exercise (i have created about 10 of them) and log it.
