    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.

    Legs & Back/ARX-DONE! I actually like this one, my legs are probably my strongest, now ARX is a different story!! It is getting easier though!!

    If I were running I would only do it on the cardio days, and do your regular strength training days.
    As far as logging the calories burned... do you have a heart rate monitor? If not I would recommend getting one. You will go to log exercise- add exercise - search(don't put anything in box) - then add exercise to database - enter whatever exercise you did that day and how many calories your HRM said you burned

    Day 5 done! Got my polar ft40 heart rate monitor in the mail today...422 calories for legs and back plus ab ripper x. So far I think legs and back is my favorite, but I may change my mind tomorrow! Good work everybody! Looking forward to kenpo tomorrow!

    Legs and Back + Ab Ripper completed last night - I found this ok and enjoyed the fact it wasn't repeated all the time.

    However, my legs this morning weren't feeling best and it did knock my jogging pace quite a bit this morning.

    Kenpo will be done later this evening!

    Day 6, Kenpo X, Done. This workout was quite fun. This is probably the closest I'll ever get to the Karate Kid or Bruce Lee. I was suprised to see how much I sweated. Kenpo X was a great way to end Week 1 of the P90 program.

    Congratulations to my Fellow P90Xer's on "bringing it" day by day.

    Week 5 Day 1, Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. Totally killer! This was definitely the hardest workout for me in this set so far, but I loved every minute of it. I'm seeing such an incredible improvement in my push-up ability. Seriously just a few months ago I couldn't do a single push-up and now I'm well into double digits on full push-ups. I've also noticed a huge change in my muscle definition, especially in my arms. I can't wait to see how I look on day 90.

    Keep up the good work everyone!
