P90X

I am in phase 2 week 6. I can tell you I still find new things getting sore but it is amazing the transformation I am seeing. I am very impressed. I also found I have to eat more with this program, especially a couple days prior to the Plyo day that one is a killer! Good luck.

I loooove me some P90x!!! :drinker:

Love love love P90X! I've done 5 rounds of it. I'm currently doing the newest BB program, ChaLean Extreme but ask away if you have any P90X questions! Stick to it and keep the meals *clean* and you will see incredible results!

I am curious about this product. How long each day do you work out for? Do you need to buy any accessories for it to work?

Hi Deedun! P90X is a 90 day program. Most of the workouts are an hour except for Ab ripperX which is 16 min and YogaX which is 90 min. You do need either weights or resistance bands and a way to do pullups (pullup bar or an attachment so you can use the bands). HTH!

I ordered the P90X program the other day and I can't wait for it to arrive.

My husband just told me today that he ordered P90X for us! I am so excited that he wants to do this together! I know I will need all the help I can get. It's great to know that I can come to all of you with all of my questions too.
Good luck to all of us starting out!

Besides the initial order confirmation email, have you received anything else from them?

Just FYI. They were doing their end of year inventories so if you ordered December 31st til now, the orders won't be shipping until today. But yes, you should get a shipping notice. If you have questions, you can contact your coach (you should have been assigned one when you bought it) or send me an email and I'll see if I can help.

Hey fellow "X-er's"! I'm on day 2 of Pahse I....Plyometrics? O-U-C-H! I'm looking for some help with the diet...I am trying to follow the Nutrition guide that came with the P90X program, which basically says that Phase I (Fat Shredder) of the diet calls for 50% Protien, 30% Carbs, 20% Fat. I used a calculator to figure out the actual grams of each I'm allowed (from freedieting.com), and then started manipulating my diet here on myfitnesspal...All of my food is pretty clean, with the exception of 2 cups of coffee with a tablespoon of flavored Coffee Mate creamer. Is there anyone who could give me some input/advice into this diet? Thanks in advance for ANY help/guidance...

Good for you! PlyoX... the Mother of all workouts! Do you know what level you should be eating? Basically just stick to the guidelines, it pretty much spells out for you how many carbs/ protein/ dairy/ fat/ etc that you should be eating. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or shoot me an email!

Hi everyone!

I just started P90X today! I could barely get dressed after Chest & Back...can't wait to see what PlyoX is gonna do.

Hahaha, I remember that feeling too! That means that you were BRINGIN' it!! :bigsmile:

Wow. Those BB folks made some bank over this holiday season, didn't they? I, too, ordered it and started the program today. Humbling.

My wife actually came to the door of the room where I was working out and asked if I was okay. :embarassed:

Not sure if I am looking forward to PlyoX tomorrow or not...

Hey Everyone,

I just started my second attempt at P90x yesterday, I lost momentum during the holidays and just decided to start over at the beginning. The first time around I made it to the second week of phase 2 of the classic version. I lost around 17 pounds in six weeks and became considerably more fit. This time around chest and back was just a little easier than before but no less soreness. The good thing about the design of the p90x program is that the workouts seem to work out the soreness from the previous night but add new soreness in different places at the same time, I guess that is the muscle confusion thing.Got Plyo tonight and it is a monster workout. Even after six weeks the first time around I still struggled to make it through it without pushing pause several times. Good luck to everyone and keep pushing play as you will see results both in strength and overall fitness.

S&A is my favorite weight routine, and plyo rocks for cardio. I agree each workout works off of the last one to ease pain or make me focus on a new sore body part

What do you think of Ab ripper? I have done a lot of ab routines over the years and this one hurts my back, but I still plug at it. Any thoughts?

I finally got an email stating my order shipped today! Hopefully I'll be on the program by the end of the week. Started back with the 4-5 mile runs and just got back from the gym trying to wake some sleepy muscles and may be not be so sore when I start. Trying to do alot of pushup, pullup, and abdominal type exercises anxiously awaiting whats coming. Best of luck to you guys, you're definitely very inspiring!

One thing I've found on this website is trying to watch what I eat. I've switched over to lots of poultry and fresh vegetables with no junk food, but the workouts are making it IMPOSSIBLE to consume the recommended 1700 net calories. Is this bad or what? After a 5 mile run and afternoon walking 18 holes of golf yesterday, I had burned over 2000 calories that I was supposed to eat and replace. That's impossible without eating alot of junk. What do you guys think, am I looking at this wrong?:ohwell:

I'm using a heart rate monitor which is calibrated to my weight to get the calories burned. I've also used my calibrated Nike+ ipod to ensure the counts are accurate and they are close enough that it's easy to see I should look like a horse if I eat what they recommend. I presently have my goal of loosing one pound a week. I just don't want to burn muscle instead of that disgusting fat!

I'm struggling with you here...based on my weight (240lbs) and activity level with P90X, I should be consuming 3400 total calories per day! I can do it if I'm eating Oreos and Root Beer floats, but it is hard to get that many calories and maintain the 50% protein, 30% carbs and 20% fat balance that the P90X nutrition plan calls for. How many chicken breasts can I eat, for crying out loud?!

Hopefully you haven't been reading this thinking I have an answer. I have none. Anyone have suggestions?

Btw, fair warning...on day 2, PlyoX is not your friend. :sick:
