I've done Insanity twice and classic P90X once and I am going to start P90X3 tomorrow since it is a shorter program. Anybody else starting this program, or any program, and wants to have a support group? I am not a beachbody coach so I won't be attempting to sell you anything.

    Hey! I just started the P90x3 program yesterday. My sister has been doing it for three weeks now and she's seen some pretty decent results. I figured I would try too.

    I just started P90x3 on Monday (6/8) as well - support would be nice! I think I died a little in that crane pose.

    Not following any specific meal plan with the program, but we'll see how it goes! I've done classic P90x in the past but T-25 got me hooked on the shorter workouts. :)

    I did the YogaX workout today and found it to be really easy and a little too short, I am going to have to make liberal use of the pause button the hold poses longer next time in order to get a workout. I hated 90 minutes of the same boring Yoga in P90x, but this seemed to be lacking.

    Try P90x2 yoga, it is about 45 mins, but is more high pace.

    Hi all!! I'm not doing P90x3, but my hubby is about to finish (he'll be done next week :)! Just thought I'd share a few things he's learned.

    1. Don't be frustrated if you don't see significant changes in the #'s. His fitness has improved tremendously, but actually gained weight (muscle) and his bmi is down. Measure success by how well you can do each move the next time. He realizes now he thought he was in better shape than he actually was when he started.

    2. Take your rest days! He was doing seven days / week but found quickly his muscles needed the day off.

    3. You can't out exercise a bad diet. Follow the recommended program as close as possible. You won't be perfect but if you are 80-90% perfect that is OK :).

    I do random BeachBody workouts. My trainer (who does happen to be a BeachBody coach along with a huge list of real certifications lol) knows my performance/racing schedule and gives me workouts based on that. Feel free to add/message with questions!

    PS - I've been seeing amazing results in my performance. I also sometimes pretend Tony Horton is my boyfriend because he is like the only guy I see on a regular basis.... #trainingproblems

    Not yet, but it definitely comes with time. I'm in week 2 as well. I can't imagine doing some the workouts without a yoga mat, but then I only have tile floors.

    This is my first time doing p90x3 but with T-25, it wasn't until my third time through I was finally able to do a squat hop. I still can't do a regular push up or a full out side plank! I'm getting better though and you will too! :)

    Lol thanks. I cant do burpree's either haha have to laugh at myself for trying. I did the warrior this morning. My sister just gave me her mat yesterday think i need to put it to the test and my carpet doesnt give me the support i need for the downward dog lol i slip but i found im to short to even touch the floor so once my block comes it should help me out a bit lol

    On my 3rd week as of today :) bought a pull up bar at the weekend and i cant even pull myself up. I even tried with a chair and its to high hahaha. So i either need to do steps for the moves or stick to the band :( until i strengthen my arms more to pull me up. Also burnt less today than last monday :( my chest strap was being a pain according to my watch lol. must have no picked up my heart beat few times from where it was laying :S or something. anyways how is everyone else getting on with their workouts?

    Dripping after CVX today...and Warrior tomorrow! haha

    We have still have 10 more weeks to improve so I wouldn't fret too much about not being able to do a pull-up yet! I'm pretty sure I couldn't even do a pull-up now, so I haven't purchased a chin-up bar. I'm sticking with the band for now as well as "girl" push-ups! :smile:

    Hello everyone! I've done 5 rounds of P90x in the past and was very successful at it. Got myself in a rut and gained 20 pounds and a lot of inches. Took a while to forgive myself. Now, I'm on at the end of week 2 of P90x3 (I started June 15th). I already lost 7 pounds and 6 inches total!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE P90x3! Never again do I try to force myself to get up in the morning (I'm NOT a morning person) only to go back to sleep..."I do not have an hour. I'll be late for work." Now, I look forward to each workout and with 30 minutes, you just cannot beat that! I'm DRENCHED in sweat within 15 minutes...more than I get after 1 hour of running (which I abhor). Even my 11 year old is working out with me (though, he's not as intense as I am. He says "this is more fun than running!").

    I thought I'd come here to see how people like it and I found you guys...it seems we are in the same round. I look forward to reading about your successes.

    I definitely love the 30 minute workouts! I really only have 30 minute blocks of time in the morning and after work, so P90x3 fits in perfect and I am definitely pouring sweat after workouts like CVX and today's Warrior!

    I finished this program about 7 months ago and still use it as part of a hybrid system I use.

    I just started t25 this week (I know its not P90x), but if anyone is looking for some accountability friends, add me. Love the program so far and I am excited to continue next week!

    T-25 is what got me started on my fitness journey last year - Shaun T is a great motivator! I wish I had signed up for MFP last June instead of waiting almost a year; I'd probably already be at my goal! My office has a workout group and we do T-25 during our lunch break. We just started the program up again and will be on week 4 come Monday. :)

    I usually have a day that I don't do too much, but I always try to do something. It will usually be my day I have X3 Yoga or Dynamix scheduled. Of course this will be changing as we enter into week 4 and then Block 2! (I'm doing the classic P90x3 schedule.)

    Hi everyone. Just HOW successful are we all with those crazy Donkey Kicks? I manage to lift my feet about 2 inches off the ground before I drop them back on the floor. Ha! My goal is to lift higher each time I try until get it right. I believe I can do it eventually! :)
