P90X

im trying to find out what this p90 is

i need a response cuz it sounds like it really works, Im getting excited about doing it

Shoulders & Arms is one of my favorites... the glamour muscles!! Love the static arm curls, crouching cohen, alternating shoulder presses, etc. Great workout! You can do it, at least make it through the first 50 min of Yoga (vinyasas).

No way would I go 50 minutes and not finish the last 40! The first 50 minutes are the WORST pain I've felt during a workout in a long time (the good kind of pain) At work we use weights and I'm a runner, so the "normal" workouts are much easier that yoga. I've never really had a very strong core but that's going to change!

I am absolutely pumped!

Legs and back done. What a killer. Those wall squats are deadly. So far, 11 days without missing a workout. Feeling great.

Diet is a struggle on a daily basis...not following the plan to the letter, but have cut calories down to about 2000-2400 and fat intake down to almost none. No fast food and no junk. Man, do I want some junk.

Keep it up, everybody!

:laugh: That's awesome! Your abs will be sore from yoga, mine always are (especially the obliques!).

Wow, just found you guys and am excited to see others who love this as much as I do! I am on day 14 and am thrilled that I can keep up better already. I did P90 first, took a few days off and started the X.

Question: although I'm eating well within my limits (maybe not enough) I've gained two pounds. My body is already firming up and clothes are getting loser. is it possible I gained muscle? I thought a pound of fat = a pound of muscle, just looked different.

Tonight is Kenpo- my favorite!

hey hey I just finished week 3

man P90X is awesome, I am doing the Lean workout routine

anyone else doing that?

I luv it

:drinker: :drinker:

Okay, here's my advice...don't travel.

Let's take stock of the last few days. I left town on Thurs, but managed to get in Legs and Back before I left (switched days since I needed the equipment for this workout). I stayed the night at my inlaws' house on Thurs night and it took me all of about 10 minutes to break my diet...must be something about getting out of my routine...I traveled to GA on Fri and got no workout in, while still cheating on my diet with Taco Bell at the airport, beer at the hotel, french fries for dinner.

My sister got married Sat, but I managed to get in half of the Yoga X workout...sweated a ton, but had to quit as I was late for pictures. Drank way too much beer, ate way too much cake, and generally gave no thought to my diet at all on Saturday night.:drinker: :sick: :embarassed: :sad:

Felt guilty all day today traveling back to TX, but still ate fairly bad on the way back. Got home to a package on the porch with my Recovery Drink Mix in it...did Kenpo X and AbR X tonight after putting my son to bed and had my first recovery drink. Whew.

All in all, I ate like a pig, but only missed 45 min of Yoga this week. I am back on the wagon this week and don't have any travel plans for the forseeable future. Sounds like everyone else picked up my slack.

Hey Joker, glad you had a good trip. It's tough when you get away from home and everyone else around you is doing one thing, and you know you shouldn't. Just strike it up to lesson learned and jump back on the wagon with both feet. I went to a baby shower yesterday and had a couple of meatballs myself, had forgotten how good real hamburger was. Still stayed within easily within my calories but sure wanted some cake/punch/etc... and actually felt guilty afterward.

Went home and did back and shoulders cause I'm on duty today, it'll be alot easier to get abs and stretching in today than having to worry about weights. Sure ready for a day of rest. I had started feeling a little lazy and little sore, so rest is coming right on time.

Best of luck with getting back in the groove.

Christina know the feeling. They just had a good discussion on beachbody (I'm in the East Coast thread) about adding and loosing weight intermittently without any obvious reason. So many variables affect what we see on the scales. I actually weighed yesterday and while I've lost about 5 lbs the last 2 weeks, I'm not seeing much of a change in clothes or in the mirror. Of course today is only day 8 of p90x. Looking to make myself feel better, I measured my abdomen and had lost 1.5 inches in that time! I was psyched.

Sometimes it's not as obvious to us that we are truly making a positive change in our lives as we'd like for it to be, but it will pay off. Just keep eating clean and pushing yourself, the change will happen. Best of luck on your progress.

Thank you so much for the support and I did not order a pizza for lunch! Ha! I had a nice healthy salad with my husband. I know I'm wanting results too fast but that's probably just human nature. I'm in it for the long haul and I've never been a quitter and I'm not gonna start now. Congrats on your inches lost. That is a great motivator I'm sure. I'm sure my changes are coming soon!

I started p90x on Jan 1, 2009. almost finished with week 3. Its great so far.

I tried it today for the 1st time. I will try again another day before it wasn't successful for me.

Good job getting back on track joker. I don't eat before I go to bed but just my opinion, I think you'd be fine taking in the calories as long as you've worked out. I'm typically a runner before p90x and I exercise late at night a lot. I think you've already burned so many calories, and it doesn't stop when you stop exercising, that you're better off with a recovery drink. Sleep is already a metabolic state, and the revved up metabolism at bedtime will just add to this.

Haven't tried the recovery drink yet but am considering it. I'm typically drinking skim milk with carnation instant breakfast and it seems to be a decent alternative, just a little short on the protein. I may consider it later when the initial sting of the cost of the program wears off1:noway:

I had plyo today and pushed as hard as I could. Did everything they did except short breaks during hot feet. Man do I feel good and very proud of myself.:happy:

My brother has it but hasn't used it ONCE. So I might "borrow" them from him to check it out. I've heard nothing but good about the program!

Thanks for the reply. I've tried to compare their recovery drink with many of the others commercially on the market that I can get locally. I still us cellmass from the lifting days but it's not really like the carb/protein drink beachbody pushes. I can't blame them, read the threads and they push theirs enough it seems at least 80% of the members use it. It may really be that special, but I can't help thinking it all comes back to sales and that most all are about the same.

Post back about the new program. As it stands right now, I'm planning repetitive p90x phases. Always interested in what else is out there though. In less than 2 weeks I've dropped 2% body fat and am very pleased with the initial results.

how many times a week do you do the program i am consiering buying it but i don't want to spend the money if it is not going to work
