P90X Classic Starting June 6th, Who's in?

On to week three! I've been keeping up with the workouts but haven't had good access to my computer so been a little MIA lately. I liked Kenpo much much more this week, I'm actually really sore from it - which is great!

Chest and back today, gotta keep working on the "arm pit fat" (do you guys have that or am I a crazy person??)

Happy Monday!

Today is the start of my recovery week. I have to do Yoga and Core Synergistics twice? Oh well, just ganna push play and watch the calories burn. Day thirty will be inthe middle of next week.

Also, my wife is starting week 2 of the Lean Program and my sister has agreed to do an altered version to get back ready for high school basketball. She will do the fit test today and begin the reall stuff tomorrow.

Sadly it took me until the very last time of doing ab ripper before I managed to do the whole routine and the bonus twists. It stopped hurting after the first phase. Or I should say I stopped waking up the next day feeling sore. It still hurts while I do it. This time around I am trying for arms up the whole time and crossed legs. Basically the harder moves. We'll see how that goes. I need to make it harder not easier just to make it through.

day 15/90 is done .....chest/back and ab ripper x. feeling my abs today, i think doing turbo jams ab jam yesterday wasnt a great ideal after ab rippers today. chest/back pushed myself more and got more pushups out before i had to hit my knees and do them.

Week 2! Did chest/back last night and have plyo tonight. I really need to get a pull up bar. I try using a band, but I don't really have anything to wrap it around. I used a chair, but it doesn't give me the right angle I am supposed to be in.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Wanted to check in. Just did Core Synergistics and man oh man, what-a sweat. I think the carpet in my living room needs the night off to dry out. lol. Hitting a Chinese buffet tonight with 888 calories to spend. I need quite a bit of protien so my plate will be full of mostly shrimp, chicken, and steak, some fried rice and veggies on the side.

Did plyo yesterday and I did WAY better than last week. My legs felt like jello when I was through.
I don't know if this has already been asked on here, but how do you log these workouts without a hrm?

Did Arms & Shoulders this morning and I can really feel it in my triceps already. Been doing 15 reps of each exercise in Ap Ripper X!!

Bryn, you can create custom workouts which is how I log mine.

hey everyone! do you mind if I hop into this thread? I'm 60 days into my fourth consecutive round of P90X classic... totally addicted! I just found this site for calorie counting a couple of weeks ago and decided to up my game a bit and count my daily calorie intake as well. It's been a real eye opener!

Today was my first day post recovery week so I officially started my Phase III for this round. I'm on target to finish Round 4 on 7/20. Looking forward to meeting some fellow P90X lovers

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies guys, I was hoping I could add all the excercises and bunch them under one heading like Chest, Back Abs but I see that as MFP doesn't add the calorie burn I need to go back to putting it under cardio.

I know this is a vague question but, how many calories do you reckon for a session of P90X? I've been estimating 600 for plyo, 300-350 for the resistance days and maybe 250 for yoga.

I'm 5'8 and 86k

so i've been doin p90x for almost 2wks. the program says that it will burn 600 for every day u do the exercise.

but i'm a big girl & i burn more than that. lol :laugh:

so when i work out i'll only put 600 for calories burned but i know when i do kenpo or plyo it's closer to 800-850. :noway:

i don't count the extra in case i miscalculated my eatin that day & ate more in caloric intake.

what's ur opinion on if i should keep doin that?

& i know there r days where i eat too much so i figure it pretty much evens itself out lol

It's very difficult to judge calorie burn from person to person. Level of fitness is but one part of the equation. How hard you push yourself during the DVD is another facet. Are you max rep'ing? Or do you stop after 5 cause that's all you can do? Are you pushing until your head wants to explode, or are you pacing yourself. I tend to avoid generic estimates of calorie burns. Especially if you are trying to eat back ALL of your exercise calories. If you aren't coming close to your calorie limits, then having an incorrect calorie burn isn't as big of a factor. If you are coming close to your macro limits every day, then you need more accuracy. Just my opinion. Ultimately it comes down to whether you are making progress in your workouts, on the scale, and with the measuring tape.

i do 15reps in my workouts except for ab ripper i'm currently doin 12reps this wk. next wk i'll add another 6reps then do all 25 in the 2nd phase, if i feel the weight is to light then i get a heavier weight. yes i'm profusely sweatin durin the session. i sometimes hafta do a quick rest durin the b4 finishin up lol (but tony says that's ok LOL! :laugh: ) i do have an ok cardio fitness level already (i did 3half marathons in 6wks a few months ago :happy: ) i do have a hrm but i don't use it all the time. i've burned as much as 1000calories durin kenpo & plyo b4. no i'm not close 2 my limits at all when i do 600calorie burn input. i try but no way i can eat all that food. sometimes i run as well b/c i'm trainin for another half marathon so i try to eat enuff durin the day & catch up when i get home if i can. (may have 2 start eatin peanut butter again :grumble: lol)

i have made progress on the scale. the 1st wk i lost 2lbs. not sure what 2 expect this wk... normally my body will go back up then drop significantly in the 3rd wk.. :mad: :explode:

I hope I didn't sound as though I was accusing YOU of not trying hard enough. That wasn't my intent. I was using different examples to illustrate why I don't recommend people using "average" burns. It sounds like you have a close approximation of your calorie intake and burn.

And, most people who have done the program saw their most significant losses/changes from the 2nd and 3rd phase. So don't get frustrated if you don't see a huge change the first phase.

Stay focused. It does work. Just keep pushing play.
