A question about P90

I've been dragging my feet about starting P90, and I was just hoping I could hear about how it went for people who are trying it/finished the 90 day workout.

I keep hearing that the diet part of P90 is really important but there is little chance that I will be able to keep to the dietary guidelines. For the most part I eat smaller potions of whatever my family has made, so there isn't a lot I can do about what I eat other than the quantity.

Anyone want to give me their impression of P90? Did you like it? Did it work for you? When did you start seeing results?

And if anyone wants to start the program with me sometime soon it might help me if I had someone going along with me.

I did a full round of P90X Classic and lost some weight, but lost more in inches. It helped firm and strengthen a lot. It took me 3 weeks until I could complete a full workout and it took about 5 weeks before seeing results. If you can stick it out, it's a fantastic workout! I never did the diet plan or Shakeology and it still worked great. I had just started a second round when I was forced to quit due to injuring a bad knee and hip. I would not recommend this workout for people with knee or hip problems because all it did was aggravate mine. Too bad, I really enjoyed doing it. I still do Ab Ripper X from time to time though. Same with Kempo X.

Just a heads up... Plyometrics is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!! lol

You'll love it and you'll hate it.

I dropped inches and toned.

Plyometics and Yoga X were not my friend by the end of the 90 days, but they were a vital part.

Just be prepared to be aching in all the muscles you never knew you had.

P90 and P90x are a little different p90 you can do a low calorie diet and get great results p90x you have to eat more due to the extreme level of caloric burn. I lost 65lbs in the first 60 days of power 90. I have a good friend i just featured on my blog that lost almost 80 completing a round of power90 and p90x. he looks like Hugh Jackman now so i made a wolverine post just get started stick with it and don't stop. you can read it here if you like http://teamsuperhero.com/weaponx-wednesday-wolverine/

I am on week 9 of "Classic" P90.

I didn't have any previous history of serious exercising. I just decided that I wanted to be in better shape. Having a desk job for 10 years doesn't exactly inspire fitness. I don't need to lose weight (aside for a bit of a little belly), I want to tone up and put on some quality weight and muscle since I have always been on the small side.

The cardio is hard if you are not used to exercising but it got better for me after the first couple of weeks. I noticed improvements within the 1st month and even more after the 2nd month. I transitioned for level 1-2 to level 3-4 in the 5th week after I was able to complete all the reps/exercises properly. Now I am pushing myself to do extra reps or increased weight to ensure it continues to challenge me.

One thought for you:
2. If you really want to see improvements you will need to pay attention to your food. You don't have to diet, just eat healthy and plan ahead. MFP is great for this. I will enter my food the day before or in the morning so I make sure I don't get caught at the end of the day with too many carbs/fat/etc.
This does mean that sometimes I have to make my own meals and let the family eat their pizza, burgers, etc but if you eat smart you can make room for yummy things once in a while and not hurt your efforts.

I NEVER watched my food before I started P90 (I didn't need to b/c my weight doesn't fluctuate), but I knew if I wanted good results I had to make sure I was eating right. I am glad I did. It's much easier now that it was at the beginning and I can see the difference in how I feel and how I look.

If you need a P90 buddy or a friend on here feel free to add me.

Good Luck with your goals.
