    The first week is going to hurt...I was sore almost every day for the first couple of weeks. Make sure to stretch a lot and obviously take breaks during the workouts when you're no longer able to do something or anything hurts. Being sore means you're pushing yourself which is awesome!

    keep pushing play, the more you do it the more you will get use to it. It get easier. Make sure you are eating enough as well. if your MFP goal is 1200 I would suggest eating between 1500 and 1800 on the days you workout, you need to fuel your body for the workouts and to aid in recovery. If your goal is higher than 1200 I would eat even more than the 15oo I suggested.

    Keep pressing play as they say and modify if you need to. I am doing my second round now. At first the soreness and not being able to do it all is discouraging, but it works if you keep at it. It is a really good feeling when you can do it all or close to it.

    Congrats and wanting to stay with it!! P90X will KILL you the first week...I agree with lots of stretching but also try relaxing in a warm bath before bed at night...helps your muscles relax too=)

    1) I hope you're doing the classic version and not messing with the Lean version

    2) Just keep going. Don't let one day decide your fate!

    Didn't you hear the guys inthe video say that first month was "UGLY!" ?

    3) The good news is you will forget about your upper body soreness after doing Plyo X. Your legs and glutes will be incredible sore.

    4) Trust the program, Nutrition is deadly important, and will drive half of your results at least. Realize that it is at least a 90 day program so don't worry about looking for results in two weeks. Do the work and results wuill be there.

    I ordered it yesterday. I'm glad I've read a lot about it, but I am betting its not going to even come close to the doing it right? Try taking glucosamine with MSM or vice versa. The MSM is for muscle repair and the glucosamine is for joints. It can take a few days or weeks to fill the differnce but it DOES help.

    It's gonna feel that way for the first week, guaranteed. You're gonna be working your muscles pretty hard. If you're not used to that kind intensity [and I'm not sure what average person is], you'll feel it. Just keep going. It gets better.

    I'm starting round 3 next Monday. Just stick with it ! Make sure you get enough calories. I use a recovery drink on strength training days...it helps! Bring it !!!! Friend me if you like :smile:
