Cardio X done. Two awesome things about this workout: (1) it's short, and (2) no run lunges in the warmups! :bigsmile:

I'm looking forward to Shoulders & Arms and even ARX tomorrow. I'm going to attempt to do ALL of the reps in ARX. Wish me luck!

Hey all.
Smiles - Don't worry - I still start off with pushups on my toes. Until I can't go anymore, and then go to knee pushups. In a couple of weeks, you will see the number of knee pushups increase, as well as your chest muscles getting stronger. In time, you can then go back and do pushups on your toes - You will get there.

Frogman - what kind of softball do you play? ie you a fast ball pitcher? Great work

AmyQ - It's hard to keep up with all the exercises in AbX - I've always did my best to get to 25, and then did the remainder with ab crunches - Some exercises I can't do any, so I end up doing 25 more ab crunches, sometimes with legs up. If you work those muscles slowly, they will get stronger.

Jill - good luck with completing all exercises in AbX - I've already told myself that maybe Round 2 I'll be able to do them all.

Seashells - Extra Protein - I'm actually going to try this again this week. My previous round I didn't stay up at that ratio very long, but that was last year. Try to get protein in each meal, breakfast, lunch dinner, and snacks.

I get protein from chicken, turkey, Ham, beef, bacon, egg whites, eggs, beans, protein shakes, protein bars, jerky, hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, milk, soy milk and i'm sure few others.
Sometimes instead of having a 2oz piece of chicken, have a 5 oz piece.
Add 1 1/2 scoop of protein powder in protein shake instead of 1.
Have 2-3 servings of egg whites instead of 1.

I'm off to do Plyo today - Everyone have a great day.

JennyLynn - If it were me, I'd start over on chest and back. I like to keep the same workouts on same day of week - ie Kenpo on saturdays

Frogman - what kind of softball do you play? ie you a fast ball pitcher? Great work

Its a slowpitch coed league. I play for my the restaurant I work at. The last 2 years I've only played a total of 8 games at SS, so this is my first time pitching, I guess I'm good! Everytime we hold an opponent to 3 runs or less, we get free beer!

Today I have Kenpo + ab ripper since I skipped the abs last night in a rush to get to the game. My hamstrings are very sore, so we'll see how well I can do the workout. The scale in the morning has been going up the last few days... so hopefully I'm actually gaining! After the first phase I'm going to measure myself to check if my muscles are getting bigger or if its just water weight.

Glad to see everyone pushing play and doing so well...and hi to the newbies!

Back & Biceps done today...felt pretty strong, and I'm confident that I can increase weight on some of the exercises. :happy: It got pretty late, so I opted to skip abs tonight- plan to get them in tomorrow morning, though. Day 31 done...really proud of myself for sticking it out to this point!

Chest, Shoulders and Ab Ripper X! Bring it!

Do most of you do the diet or your own thing??

Plyo X last night. Was supposed to be the night before, but I felt some strange discomfort in my legs and had to stop immediately. I've done Plyo X enough to know that it wasn't good, whatever it was.

I didn't have that trouble last night so I guess all is well.

I'm going to do Ab Ripper X tonight if all goes well, but have to lay off the regular workouts for a few days. I'm taking it a little easier this round and won't be beating myself up over a whacky schedule. It took me 100 days to do round 1, I expect this round to take a fair bit longer.

Since I am now less than 10 lbs from my original goal weight and still seeing the weight coming off, I want to spend at least a little more time not living and breathing P90X workouts 7 days a week this time around

(Week 2, Day 3)
Whew, shoulders and arms went great today. I used bands today instead of weights just to see if I would like it. I do like the bands, it gives a whole new sensation of resistance.

ARX on the other hand is the devil. Purely a love/hate relationship between us. Each time I do it, I am able to do more and more reps, so I know I am getting stronger. The pain just never goes away or lessens lol.

Have a great day everyone!!!!

Great job everyone - Shoulders and arms and ARx completed today.

Do your best, and forget the rest!

Day 3 done!

Can I join? I started p90x on the 27th, but just now getting back on MFP. I'm loving the workouts and feeling really healthy and strong. It's nice to see how much more of the workouts I can do since I started.

Hey there! We meet again!!!! Hop on board.

Starting P90X hopefully tomorrow Shouldn't be as hard as Muay Thai Kickboxing is. I love kickboxing. Time to bring it up a notch. I am already take Shakeology so hopefully this will push the weight loss a bit more.

I did my Kenpo X today. It was a really hard day; just found out my little 1 year old nephew has cardiomyopothy. Pretty sad, but he's stable. I let my emotions get out of control, so I am just proud that I did the workout. Only X stretch tomorrow, which I must admit I am looking forward to.

Smiles: I love seeing you on here! It's funny we're still kind of on the same wave-length. You look amazing btw! I am back working to get of the baby weight. So hard, but worth it!

I'm starting P90X on Monday!! Really excited about it, but a little nervous too. I've only done Jillians 30DS and 20 minutes killed me, not sure about this 60 min thing!!

I finished the 30DS, and took 2 weeks off before starting P90X. It was a great "warm-up" for P90X. You will do great!!! WHich version are you doing?

what does everyone log p90x under??

I need to google cardiomyopathy - I don't know what that is... Sorry to hear of your family's struggle. Good job getting the workout done - isn't it a great way to burn off bottled up emotions? Great job on the 1 lb loss too... baby weight be gone!
