    Oh man just finished core syn. and burned 409 cals!! I am whooped!

    Great burn! I have to say this my least favorite workout, lol. I am doing a modified lean program and when I was putting it together I really considered skipping this particular dvd.... but I put it in. We'll see how it goes this weekend when have to push play:laugh:

    I am sure you will fight through it!!! I just tell myself that it's only 1 hour and I don't have to do ab ripper x after it so it's worth it!

    I had that conversation with myself everytime I put Core Syn in the dvd player this spring, lol.

    Yoga X done... my asanas need help, and I had to laugh at the last downward dog. I would NEVER grace the cover of downward dog magazine lol! And I realized during tree pose I should not have been wearing my shoes. Whoops! Loads of room for improvement. Looking forward to legs and back/ ab ripper x tomorrow. Can't believe I just said that :) Good work guys! Best part....day 4 is DONE!

    I started a few days before Aug 1st not knowing there was going to be a thread. I am on day 8 today and my butt is so damn sore from Legs and Back and Kempo still. Seriously, it hurts to sit/walk/move. Who knew I used that muscle so much.

    WOW.
    10:20pm and literally just finished Yoga, I'm in two minds - I started it thinking this is gunna be boring, it's not my cup of tea and 20mins later I was still thinking the same thing - repeat, repeat, repeat.

    HOWEVER, I actually think I quite enjoyed it !!! I do think 1hour would be better than 1.5hours but I can't believe how much I sweated during the first section !!! Really opened my eyes to it and I would love to be able to extend / stretch further each time - again, I would enjoy it more if I get to see progress.

    Not one I'll ever be able to get to do during the day though because of how long it takes !!!

    I logged it as yoga - I think it was 187 calories burnt, or thereabouts and I even saw Tony(sp) in a different light !!!

    I also realise that I have issues with my wrists - a lot of them hurt !!!

    Day 4 Yoga X done - I have to say, I really like this workout! I'm a big fan of Yoga so I think that helped. I agree with others that this is a bit long though. It's really like two separate workouts in one (a power yoga session and a stretch yoga session). There is definitely room for improvement in the first section, I would love to be able to do all the moves without breaks but right now its killer on my knees and my arms (which are sore and stiff from arms & shoulders yesterday). I absolutely did not attempt crane and I can't do that standing leg extension thanks to super tight hamstrings. Tony is right though, I was so much more flexible in the stretches at the end than I normally am. I feel awesome and stretched out right now :) Somehow Ialso managed to burn 460 calories!

    I REALLY did not want to workout tonight, and because of that I pretty much hated every minute of yoga! I must admit that I really didnt give it my all, but I did it. Looks like everyone had a great day, keep up the good work!!!

    Week 2, Yoga X here. I have to say I definitely got a lot more out of the workout this week than I did last week. My goal is to be able to complete crane pose before the end of 90 days, although that's dependant on how much weight I lose and how much strength I gain in my arms!

    Good luck ladies! can't wait to see your after pics, p90x is one heck of a ride. The best tip i can give anyone is. Pace your self the first couple of weeks learn the moves then master them.

    Today is my rest day then I start WEEK 5 tomorrow! I'm thinking of throwing a short Bodyrock workout in today, not really in the mood for a full rest day. Lots of work stress and I need to get all that out in a healthy way.

    Just finished Day 5 - Legs, Back, and Ab ripper X. I didn't really feel like working out today but I did it any way. I'm happy that I'm done. While it's somewhat painful, I do like the burn that I feel when doing ab ripper x. I constantly feel challenged, which is a good thing.

    Have a wonderful day and continue pressing play!

    Rest day for me! I'm seriously modifying the program this round, so I will be all over the place schedule-wise. Sticking to a plan of 3 run days, 2 to 3 (hopefully 3) lifting days and a rest/stretch/yoga day. I figured out that trying to adhere to the strict schedule killed both my training (I am a distance runner) and my sanity...so I'm indulging my exercise ADD and doing whatever I feel like on a given day.

    Hope y'all don't mind if I continue to hang around here. :flowerforyou:
    Great job and Happy Friday!

    Legs & Back plus ARX for me this morning. During L & B I doubled my reps from last week. But my biggest improvement was definitely with ARX.
