    Shoulders and Arms + Ab Ripper today. By far the easiest workout so far (not easy, just easier)...with the exception of the Ab Ripper. Felt too early to be doing it again. I was really sore from Monday still!

    Feeling good after day 3...87 to go!

    I seriously think that the muscles in my face are the only muscles I own that aren't sore right now...

    It's such a great feeling. :wink:

    Way to go jokerrn, keep at it. Worked with one of my Lt.'s yesterday and he's got the program too. Lasted all of 2 weeks before he dropped it. I'm STILL waiting on mine, seems UPS got the shipping info Monday and it's still sitting in California, getting very frustrated. We're working out together on duty Saturday using his disc's, so one way or the other I'll finally get to feel what you guys are talking about. Still doing lot's of push ups, sit ups, pull ups along with the running trying to prepare.

    Great job, stick to it!

    HAHAHA, sorry didn't mean to laugh! If your face muscles aren't sore then you weren't working hard enough... j/k

    Are you using the recovery drink?? I didn't think it would make much of a difference until I tried it. WOW, it really does help. (it has glutamine & a little creatine in it) My hubby swears by it otherwise he gets super sore!

    keep it up!

    Hope you get it soon! It is worth the wait!! Pushups and pullups will help get you prepped. Tony knows how to work you out in a variety of ways, all different kinds of pushups and pullups.

    I am on Day 1 of Week 2! I'm feeling absolutely wonderful and I've already lost 2 pounds (my goal is 2 pounds a week). I'm still sore all over but i think it gets easier and easier to stick to the workout. and the further you go, the more focus and strength you want to put in your workout. it's freaking fantastic! i hope you all love your P90X as much as I do!

    Alright, you talked me into it. I ordered some of the recovery drink. We'll see how it works. Thanks for the advice. Off to do Yoga X for the first time...

    I just did yoga for the first time and guess what!

    I hate it. :angry:

    Please tell me it gets better. Don't get me wrong, I sweated my *kitten* off at times...but I was frustrated at not being able to do the moves, or not knowing what the moves were, or falling on my butt. And 90 minutes is a long workout. I actually cussed at Tony Horton (well, at the TV, really) during the workout.

    Okay, enough venting. I will now get back to my regularly scheduled praise of this program.

    I love P90X. :flowerforyou:

    Could NOT agree with you more on the Yoga X thing!! I felt like an idiot, and did more falling over then actual Yoga! :mad: You did better than me though, I got so frustrated, I turned him (Tony) off after 45 minutes!! ....then I felt REALLY bad though! :frown: I actually got on my Wii Fit just so I could get used to the moves....I'll be ready to BRING IT next week!! :wink:

    Yoga is NOT my favorite either. But... it does get easier and it *is* good for you! If you can make it through the first 50 min (vinyasas) the last 40 min is balance postures which are not as difficult. :bigsmile: Get ready for Legs & Back!!

    I don't like the yoga at all but i've never been a fan of yoga either so i just replace it with either cardio x or kenpo x. :-)

    Just did Kenpo X for the first time in my life...what a BLAST! That was a FUN workout, and I kept in the "zone" for 40 minutes!! Worked out all of the soreness from lesg & back yesterday!!

    I am sitting here wondering how in the hell I am going to get through Legs today when I can barely walk...My hamstrings and butt muscles are sore still from Plyo!

    Hopefully the warm-up is good and I will be loose and ready to go when we start the lunges. Can't wait.

    Just as I suspected, Legs and Back was brutal...but awesome. Sweat more than any other workout, I think. Then, just when I thought I was done...I looked at the sheet and noticed I had to do Ab Ripper X. Yes!

    I will not be walking tomorrow.

    Keep pushing Play Joker, great job. Still sitting and weighting for mine to arrive, it finally arrived in NC yesterday and I should get it Monday. Weighed in this morning and lost 3 lbs this week with clean eating (except for one slice of pizza yesterday....) over the past week and running, push ups, dumbell work trying to get ready for the real thing! Hopefully you'll have another workout partner next week.:bigsmile:
