Alright after getting work and responsibilities out of the way, I'm done with day 1 of P90X. I've been weening my way into the the nutrition plan and now I have portion control mastered. I feel like a million bucks, and I'm definitely looking forward to tomorrow. I'll be blogging daily on MFP so stop by when you get a chance and drop a comment. This is definitely one of the best fitness programs around and just by returning back to the program I can tell you that I'd recommend it to anybody who is serious about their health. Form what I've seen in other P90Xers, this program brings real results and feels good! Stick with it everybody and congratulations to everybody who's going for it.0

I'm on day 6 of lean and am getting ready for Kenpo. It seems odd that I only exercised 2-3 days per week before this and can't imagine taking a break tomorrow so I'll definitely do Stretch.
The 50% protein in phase 1 is still not something I'm mastering very well. I can do about 40%, one day was 45%.
Should I be forcing protein bars or shakes into myself to get this up to the 50%?
I'm so happy that I found P90X and I'm glad that I just plunged into it instead of worrying about being too overweight (the fitness test wasn't hard for me so I guess I'm okay underneath all of this fat). I used to diet and restrict calories. Realistically I could never be a low calorie forever eater to just be skinny. This fitness approach is so much better, I haven't felt this good in a long time.
"...and I can't imagine taking a break tomorrow..." THAT IS SO AWESOME!! Doesn't it feel great? You've made a decision to get healthy & fit and you're really doing it! I'm proud of you because I know how hard it is.
My husband and I do protein smoothies in the morning and they are yummy... maybe give those a try. Keep up the great work!0 -
Okay, so I played volleyball last night and got laughed at because I was so sore... I tried to nudge the ball to someone with my foot and had to kinda side-step to do it... After all those lunges and floor sweeps(?) it really did not feel all that great... Can't wait until tonight's workout... Already sleeping better with all the new activities!!!
I have to admit, I was really laughing out loud at your post!:laugh: I know how sore I was when I started and I can't imagine having to play volleyball like that. I could barely get off the couch! Keep it up!0 -

Day 1 down, 89 to go! You can do it! I can't believe it's day 27 for us already but man-o-man we've got a long way to go.0 -
I have to let everyone know... This thread makes everything seem more do-able. I love how I can see how others have progressed, and that there are newbies like me, people that have already started for a little while, and then others that have completed the program. I finally read all of the previous pages, and it pushes me to keep on going with it. Today I'm doing Shoulders & Arms, and Ab Ripper X. I'm not looking forward to how sore I'll be afterward, but am really psyched to give it all a try.

Good morning, everyone!!! Last night I had a blast... Shoulders and Arms workout is right up my alley. I used to love weight training, so this was perfect for me. And if anyone needs a good laugh... I'm dog-watching for my sister right now. When I was doing laying down triceps extensions, all of a sudden there's a gianormous 70 lbs dog standing over my head, and she nudged the weight that I had in my right hand. Needless to say, I bonked myself right in the forehead with it. Didn't really tickle, and I was seeing stars for a little while. :blushing: Tonight is Yoga X, wish me luck!!!0

Good luck Resa! Today is Plyometrics for me. Tell you my satisfaction rating after I do it, which is probably Xcellent.:bigsmile: This thread has been a little slow lately. Maybe after jumping around for a while, this thread will be full of updates from my fellow P90Xers. *crosses fingers*
Well, it's time to get in my Plyo workout. Can't wait to get to Yoga X and Kenpo X!
Much success to everybody,

I am not currently doing a round of P90X, I'm doing ChaLean Extreme for now. But loving it! :bigsmile: I'm here if you need some support though! :bigsmile: 0 -

I love S & A, it is one of my favorites! The glamour muscles! Funny story about the dog too! :laugh:0 -
Thanks! I did enjoy it. It's my favorite one so far. I am sweating buckets! haha. It's 600 calories per workout right? I'm adding plyometrics to my exercise log... Day 2 is in the bag. Oh and thanks for the support! It's appreciated.Good luck Resa! Today is Plyometrics for me.

Congratulations on finishing up!!! I haven't done Plyometrics yet: I have to wait until this evening when the kids are in bed before I can torture myself with yoga... I hope I don't break something that I might need later I have to figure out what to do with my sister's insane dog before attempting anything, though. I have a feeling she's out to get me:laugh: 0

Hey, everybody. Been a few days...crazy work...blah blah blah. Still bringing it, though. Coming to the end of my recovery week for Phase 1.
I did X Stretch last night and it felt good, but I am really sore today...my shoulders are actually in some pain. I think I overdid it a bit on Kenpo the night before last. I find my heart rate doesn't stay up if I follow their pace, so I tend to do all the moves really fast and with a high intensity...hopefully that's why my shoulders hurt so much today.
Anyway, supposed to have Yoga tonight, but I am going to let my shoulders rest and switch my rest day to today. I will do Yoga tomorrow and Core Syn on Sunday. Then...it's off to Phase 2. Can't wait.
Thanks for all the updates! I check this thing everyday...it's a good source of inspiration, so keep it coming.0 -
I bought it in 08. Did it twice. I'm not quite there yet. I'll get back to it though.

Okay, so I did Yoga X for the first time yesterday, and so far, I do not like it... Not necessarily because it was too hard... Although it WAS hard and I definitely couldn't do all of the moves, but because the side of my left foot started to ache from holding the poses. It felt like when you put on a pair of ice skates that don't fit you perfectly and your feet start to ache. I loved the strech that you got from it, though. So far, it's the only routine that I wasn't too crazy about, but not because of the content... I am still looking forward to tonight's workout, though. 0

It's amazing how yoga can make you sore in so many places! :laugh: I'm still not a big yoga fan (shhh... don't tell! ) but I am always sore in the obliques and other areas when I do it! If you feel an ache and need to not hold the poses as long, then just take a little break. It will get easier! 0 -

Yeah for recovery week! I like to use weighted gloves or hold my dd's 1# weights in my hands for Kenpo. Good luck w/ Phase 2, be prepared to be super sore all over again! :laugh:0 -
Hey everyone! This is what I wrote on my blog. I'm too lazy right now to think of something new to say so here ya go... BTW, I'm seriously sore today. Dying.
I am having serious trouble even typing this... my arms are noodles!
Yesterday was stretch/rest day. We opted to rest for the first time mainly because we got home later than we thought so sleep won out.
Today was day 1 of phase 2. Oh... my... gosh!!! Chest/Shoulders/Triceps & and famous ARX. Bring on the muscle confusion! We got about half way through and I seriously felt like I might puke. We pushed through it but man, we have major rag arms right now. Jeremy asked me just a little bit ago if I wanted to do a few push ups with him and I told him I didn't even think I could brush my teeth! I've never had much upper body strength so this is really a struggle for me.0 -
Nice. My legs feel like they got tenderized by baseball bats after plyo. My abs feel a little sore, and my arms are so so. I've always had strong upper body and legs, but I guess they get into those muscles you don't normally use or even know you have. I'm going to be finished with phase one by my birthday, Then I'll feel your pain. haha. Until then, I'm pushing play everyday. Today is Yoga X and I'm ready for some warrior pose and cobra, lol.Hey everyone! This is what I wrote on my blog. I'm too lazy right now to think of something new to say so here ya go...

I did Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X last night... I will definitely do ARX 1st next time I have to do this workout... My legs felt like Jello and it was so hard to struggle through all of the ab exercises!!! I felt so good this morning when I woke up, though. Sore, but good. I've been missing all of this misery from exercise!!!:laugh: Tonight is Kempo-I can't wait!!!0

Oh my gosh... there's something about CST that gives me DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) for 3 days!!!!!!! I hope you can brush your hair & teeth! 0 -

Yeah, ARX is tough after L & B! Those hip flexors get tired! Glad that you're feeling good! :bigsmile:0 -
Jessmomof3, are you still doing that other workout? I checked it out on BB and was curious to see how you think it compares to P90X. I love weight training, and it looked like it could be fun to do after this program to switch things up a bit.0

Yep, I'm doing ChaLean Extreme. I love it! I'm on week 8 now and it's been a great change for me! I still love P90X and credit it to me really loving weight training, but a change is always good! Gotta keep those muscles confused! :bigsmile: The workouts are a little shorter (most are around 35 min long) but still intense and I am going to be half marathon training again soon so I will still be able to get in my running. Let me know if you have questions about it!

Does it still kick your butt as much as P90X? It is so hard for me to find enough time to do workouts, so I wait until my kids are in bed before I exercise, but that means not going to bed until around midnight or later. I would love to find a great workout like P90X, but in a more manageable amount of time. YogaX is ridiculously long for me...0

Oh, man. I start phase 2 tomorrow and now I know what I have to look forward to!
Tony would be so disappointed in my Super Bowl binge...I will be working extra hard tomorrow out of self-loathing. Gonna have to get up and do it around 5am as I have dinner plans tomorrow evening. Wish me luck!0 -
I had to boycott the Superbowl this year... But on Saturday we had UFC fight night, and there was all sorts of stuff around to get in trouble with. I made sure to order a vegetarian pizza, and then checked online to find out the nutritional info on it before we ate... It was still really hard to resist the junk, but I managed and have lost another pound this week and two more days to go.0

Thanks. Just finished Yoga X, got the kinks and soreness out of my legs and body. Goodnight everybody.Hahaha, the muscles you don't use or even know you have! :laugh: Keep it up! :bigsmile: Nice new pic there too!0 -
I finished KenpoX, and found myself thinking, "It's done already?!!!" It is so much fun that you don't even realize how long you've been at it for. I've done kickboxing classes before, but this was much, much better. My legs are so sore from my workout last night, that I was trembling by the time I was finished today. The stretching felt sooooo good! Monday is supposed to be my rest day, but I have 2+ hours of volleyball... I am NOT looking forward to Core Synergistics on Tuesday...:sad:0
