P90X

Mine's finally out for delivery! It's been two long weeks and still nothing but promises. I hope the program is better than their service up to this point. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a package more, fills like Christmas did 30 years ago! Will post after the first workout today and report how it went.

You should have been assigned a coach when you purchased, so contact them with your questions or let me know if I can help. I've never had to wait for over 4-5 days when ordering so that is strange. However, last weekend they were doing inventory for the New Year and weren't shipping out workouts until the 6th so that might be why they were a little delayed.

You won't be disappointed in the workouts!!

Take goodness it finally arrived! I met the UPS man at the road. Brought it in, put my pull up bar together, and put the disc in (I've read the materials and watched the intro disc before) Went straight to work. Being the eager beaver I am, jumped right to work. My Lord, my arms turned to jelly. I've been doing push ups for 2 weeks trying to get ready, but switching back and forth and trying to work to failure proved to be too much. Of course, after about 10 minutes to catch my breath, I jumped on abs (actually it jumped on me and squished me like a bug!) What a great workout. I'm so excited that I'm on my way to improving myself, my body, and my health.

Tomorrow I'll try and get the guys at work to do Plyo with me. I can't wait to see a bunch of manly firefighters whining like a bunch of babies. Not that they don't already, but I think I've got something that will work the best of them!

Jess, what group do you mostly use at beachbody for accountability. I started to post in the over 40 group but it's not a very active group. May go with healthcare workers (also a Paramedic) but am looking for an active and motivated group to keep me going.

You are motivated and on the ball!! Good for you! Chest & Back is a killer workout and I am sure you will be sore tomorrow!! So you are are firefighter? Good for you! My neighbor is a firefighter also, I feel safe having him next door. I mainly check in on the SuperMoms thread that I started a while ago and a new ChaLean thread. I will send you the link to a few that you might enjoy though!

Good luck to you both. Just started p90x today and what a great workout. Still managed a short 3.5 mile run tonight but I suspect I'll regret that tomorrow during plyo! Can't wait to improve so that I don't have to make so many modifications during the workout. I tried to go to failure my first round and don't think I ever recovered!

I'm new to this board and am sooooo excited to find my fellow P90Xers!!! My husband are doing it together for the first time and today is day 10 for us. We are also sticking to the nutrition plan and in the first week, we both lost 5lbs!!! I was crazy sore last week after plyo but today I'm so much better. I can't wait to see results at the end of the program and we better because we are following it to the letter and working our rear ends off during the work outs.

I loved your blog!! Good for you! My hubby and I have had a great time working out together as well. Keep working that rear end off! :laugh:

I've looked into this program and it looks awesome - only problem where the heck are you supposed to put a pull up bar close enough to see a tv/dvd player?

<sigh> I guess my choices are to have a very obtrusive bar hanging from the ceiling in the front room, or clean the garage out.... :noway: I think I'd rather give up bacon than clean the garage - oh wait I *did* give up bacon. :sad:

We got the bar from beach body and it works great in a door way. My hubby and I are on week 7 and love, love, love the program. Plyo is a burner OMG! I wasn't the biggest fan of the yoga and even that has grown on me.

Good to hear you are finally off and running, GFR. I was out of town yesterday and today, but got chest/back and AR X in early yest morning and am off to do Plyo right now. Recovery drink should be getting here soon.

Jess, I don't recall being assigned a coach when I ordered...where would I have seen it?

Btw...went from 240lbs to 235 in the first week. Eating clean and bringing it during every workout. Can't believe I'm actually looking forward to Plyometrics. I must be crazy.

You should have gotten an email. If you didn't, let me know and I can help!

Great job on the 5# loss already! :bigsmile:

Jess

Jeff, the only problem I had with the pull up bar is my door frames were too wide. It doesn't permanently mount and only catches on the trim on the opposite side and then gravity does the rest. Others probably don't have this problem since my house was built in 1948. The bar is very high quality and I would buy it again.

Shoulders and Arms today along with Abd x. Trying to stay within my limits this week to prevent injury they give good workout, I'm still sore, but they don't hurt as much as I thought. Well all except the abdominal work! Plyometrics was a blast, although I still felt like I should run afterward. Had an apartment fire 20 minutes after plyo though so didn't get any other in, nor did I want anything else. Woke up this morning and I was definitely feeling it. So far, it's GREAT!

Still holding up Joker?

Great job, shoulders and arms is a great workout and a lot closer to the types of exercises I'm used to, although there are some pretty original moves in there! I'm doing yoga tomorrow, and flexibility is one of my weaknesses, definitely intimidated by the thought of 1.5 hrs! Have a good trip and keep up the good work. We'll check back in next week.

Still going strong. Actually down 10 lbs in the first 9 days. Was too busy to get my workout in today, so have to do Shoulders and Arms + ARX tonite after my son goes to bed. Heading out of town tomorrow through the weekend, but think I can still get all the workouts in...switch Legs and Back to tomorrow morning since I need the equipment and then do Yoga X and Kenpo X on the road this weekend.

Thanks for asking.

Great job!! Men always lose weight so much faster, not fair! :grumble: Sometimes you've gotta switch up the workouts, you're doing great! Have a good trip!

I just started the lean version of P90x and am on the second day. I was hoping to do some yoga at night as a little extra boost but the dvd doesnt work . Unfortunately I bought mine new on Ebay so Im pretty sure I can't get an exchange....

If you bought them on ebay then no they are not guaranteed from Team Beachbody... sorry!

Would love to hear monthly results of weightloss on the program from everyone....especially the women My goals are to lose 20-30 lbs and tone up for a bunch of weddings I have to go to in June. Any tips?

I'm on day 13 today and have dropped 6lbs so far so I'll post my monthly total later I guess . What day are you on?
