Mike... I couldn't wait til the morning. Haha - did Cardio tonight! I was reading through the guides etc and planning out the 90 days and I couldn't hold it in any longer! I caved and pushed play tonight for fun!! I am SO looking forward to Kempo in the morning!!! Love it
Man this is going to be AWESOME!!! Gotta get some sleep so I can kick butt in the morning. 0 -
Day 2 of done - just finished cardio x.
I usually do my workout in the morning, but ended up doing it in the evening today just cause of the way things went with the kids today. And it was actually nice. Definitely takes away any urge to munch!
Sassy - I agree with Mike, Kenpo! How did you like cardio x? Kenpo is probably my very favorite workout of all of them. I'm sure you'll enoy it tomorrow.0 -
Started P90X Lean Monday. Core Synergistics is a butt kicker. After the vid, I did a short (very short) cool down run. I felt like I worked hard during this video. I burned a lot of calories and kept my heart rate up.
Yesterday was Cardio X. I'm kind of torn about this video. Maybe the problem is me. Maybe I didn't push myself hard enough. I just didn't feel like it was a good, complete workout. I burned what I would call an adequate number of calories, but just didn't feel like I kicked my own butt.
This afternoon I will do Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X. I love shoulders. I think shoulders are my favorite body part to work. I love the Ab Ripper too. I'm looking forward to today's workout. Not so much with tomorrow's Yoga X....0 -
Perfect. Thank you.0

jackelyn... Kempo is by far my fav aswell and I am looking forward to it today. I ended up sleeping in this morning after a late night but am pumped that I get to leave work early and can push play when I get home - burn it up and rock it out!!! Can't wait to get on the program and mix it up with the "weight work-outs" because I haven't tested out any of those as of yet.
For the brave early risers - I plan on doing my routines before walking the dog in the mornings - how do you make sure you have enough energy not to crash first thing in the morning? I would love some tips LoL0 -
Well Day 2 of my P90X is in the books... Plyo kicked the crap out of me to the point I didn't even attempt the Ab Ripper. (Thanks Drew for the suggestions of other workouts) I am going to work super hard at it tonight since its a strength day. I am also taking my dog for a 45 minute walk before my workout since I have been slacking the past 2 nights due to late nights at the office. Tonight will be interesting. Can't keep up with the video but its only week one. I have set goals for myself to attain after I go through each workout to push myself that much harder in week 2. Starting a week early gets me right into the beginning of basketball season so I am excited. Hoping to buy a smaller sized officials uniform this year.
Thanks for the support... please don't let me fall off the wagon after the first few weeks, I will need your motivation and excitement to keep me going. That has been my biggest fail with my health. I do great for the first few weeks and then back to my same old routine.

Lisa - if there is anything that this group will NOT do is let you fail. We will do our very best (hopefully speaking for the team but definately know I am speaking in line with Drew) to support you through the weeks. There are bound to be ups and downs. Days where you rock it and days where you struggle to keep up but that is normal and expected when you are working your body 6/7 days a week for 90 days. You CAN do this! And we WILL support you!0
-
You got this Lisa! I know how easy it is to fall off the wagon.I woke up super late today, so I have to wait until after work to do my day 2. Cardio tonight and I am super excited, it was always my favorite.0

Hey, we're all in this together, whether it's your 3rd round of P90x or, like me, it's all new to you. We'll keep each other going!
I'm already planning how I can fit it in on days I KNOW my normal schedule is going to be interrupted.
Eg. Friday 30th Sep I have to go out on a work function straight from the office and in all likelihood I aint gonna get the usual workout in (which will be X Stretch on recovery week) so I plan on taking that day as rest day and shifting it all a day forward for the rest of the week - so I'll do X Stretch on Sat, Core Synergistics on Sun, Yoga X on Mon and be back on track for the start of phase 2 on Tues!
I'll be here to give everyone whatever support and motivation they need - and you can be damn sure I'll be needing some back to help me over a hump at some point when it all looks impossible!0 -
Good Morning Yall...
Lisa... You can DEFINITELY do this. I just know you will be in that smaller official's uni in no time! You just keep on pushing play and check in with us as much as possible! You are ALREADY 2 days ahead of most of us! Way to go!!!
Sassy... That's an interesting question. Like you, I am definitely an AM burn chaser. I have my coffee pot set for 5 minutes before my alarm goes off. I wake up, brush my gibbers, and throw on my workout clothes. By the time all of that is done, I'll pour my coffee and push play. At first I am a little groggy, but by the time the "warm up" is done, I am fully charged and focused on the workout. There are definitely days where I start to "bonk" at the end of a workout... esp plyo. I have read that raisins are an awesome energy booster in the morning, but I don't wanna waste my serving of fruit before breakfast! haha!
JME... Interesting point about Cardio X. I have a similiar feeling toward that workout. I say give it one more shot next week and REALLY try to push yourself. Make the kicks, punches, and jumps as intense as possible. Really follow through on the punches and "go down to fo up" on the jumps. If you still don't feel enough burn, I say switch over to plyo. Plyometrics will definitely kick your butt... Let us know how you are doing.
I am DYING to move forward yall... I can't wait to join you. Keep on pushing play and PLEASE keep on signing in!
Drew
btw... jaybone and sassy... You are fully equipped now! BOOM! Awesome!0 -
Day 3, Shoulders & Arms / Ab Ripper X DONE.
I'm feeling pretty sore overall... Still sore from Monday's Chest & Back, and now sore in the legs from yesterday's Plyo... Took a little while to loosen up the arms and shoulders this morning because of the stiffness, but once I got going it was all good.
Shoulders & Arms was a good workout... I like the pace of it. And I improved a little bit on Ab Ripper X today. Don't get me wrong, it still kicked my *kitten*, and I was like Jell-O by the end, but I got more reps done, and my form improved somewhat from day 1.
Tomorrow....... Yoga X. Mommy, help me.
-Mike0 -
Mike - I found I had a delayed response to the aching from Plyo. Didn't feel it much at all yesterday which was one day after the workout but I'm really feeling it today - all up my calves. How strange!
Starting my Yoga in T minus 45 minutes and counting. I'll check back in about 2:15 and let y'all know how it went!0 -
Haha moment - So I told you guys that I picked up the P90X for my bfs birthday September 27 but am going to start the program with the group on the 6th (and admittedly have already started using it because I am like a child and could not leave it in the packaging).
SO I am on the phone with him *we don't live together* and he is telling me how he has been using his brothers set and is coming down for the weekend so he figured he would bring a few of the disks for us to do on the weekend. HAHA :laugh: So I am on the phone secretly dying because I have the set for him at my place and have to say "that sounds great I would love to do them" :laugh:
Can't wait till (a) I give him the "gently" used set for his birthday and (b) :blushing: I give him the rest of his gift
.... results baby - keep your minds out of the gutter! :noway:0 -
Is it to late to get in on this group? I've had P90x for 2 years and never did it. Been working out at the gym for the last three weeks to get ready and hoping to start on 9/5. Little worried about it, I've got a slightly herniate disc in my c6/c7 that i start physical therapy for tomorrow. dont want to aggravate that any more or next step is surgery.0
-
Sassy! hahahahaha! @ "The rest of the gift!"... I cant wait to hear how your boyfriend reacts to the gently used gift!
BikerMike.... It's never too late to join our group man. WELCOME! Glad to have you on board! I will say that p90x is an intense workout regimen... I would definitely consult a doctor to make sure your back can handle all of it.
Let us know how you are doing man! Bring it!
Talk to yall later...

Hey group - I just wanted to say that I was checking out some other threads on P90X and I think that (so far) ours is the most supportive! I think we are going to make MFP history with the amount of encouragement we pack into these little posts. Keep up the great work - lets try and get those original eager beavers out and posting about what they are doing to prepare, how they are feeling and how to stay committed!!
Let's do this!!0 -
If your looking for a great way to track your workouts, there are some good spreadsheets out there. This is the one I'm going to use.

Hell yeah man! I can not wait!! Make sure you pre order ASAP though! Which bundle are you getting? Or you just getting the DVD's?0 -
I know a lot of people ***** about Yoga X so I may be in the minority but... I really rather enjoyed it!0

I thought it was hard when I started the first time, but started to love it after a few times. I burn hella calories and can't wait to get to it.0 -
I just logged on to see this thread and I'm wondering if I can join too. I've done P90x once, but only did the workouts and not the diet--big mistake. I didn't really see any results. This time I'm hoping to really stick hard to the diet. Maybe we could post daily intake/meals? That would give some accountability and maybe get some suggestions as to what else we should be eating. . .0

I am down to join
i am a newbie and I am kind of scared lol we will see how it goes:D 0 -

.... results baby - keep your minds out of the gutter! :noway:
:laugh: Love it!! My mind was totally in the gutter!
So I had to switch my workout to after work, which is all good either way. Just knocked out day 2-cardio, felt great! Burned 627 calories. I just hope I can keep the pace up for 13 weeks.0 -
Nikki... haha Yeah, it's where mine went too when Drew suggested the results will be gift enough haha
Did KEMPO tonight! Kempo, KeMpO, KEMPO!!! Love it, always LOVE it and can't wait to get into the full routine!!0 -
Time for bed and I didn't get my workout in tonight. I'm PO'd. It's partly my own fault, in that I pulled a dumb move yesterday and am still suffering the consequences. I'll pick it up again tomorrow and get back on track. I'm trying not to fall off the wagon. On the bright side, my lamb chops were tasty!
Keep up the great work, fellow P90X-ers!0 -
Just had a thought... Should we have a P90x group banner for our signatures? I've knocked up a quick one below but I could make it a bit more funky if people think it's a good idea...?
Code for it is:
What d'you all think?0 -
Hi folks :happy:
I'm looking to start p90x on Mon 5th sept can I join your gang? .
I am hugely overweight (obese) due to health problems and being on steroid treatment for the past few months but fairly fit as I have been going to gym to stave of the worst effects of the steroids
the steroids are now being reduced so I thought I would give a more structured programme a go and p90X is going to be it , just trying to decide which program will be best for me at the mo Classic or Lean ? and how to merge it into my gym sessions as I do enjoy going to my local one the pool and the spa being the best bit :happy:
Jo0 -
I am in. I love Beachbody and need a team to maintain motivation.0

Here's another 2. I think I prefer these ones as they aren't as cumbersome in the signature.
They're the same one but with UK date format and one with USA date format so you can pick whichever you prefer.
UK:
Here's the link (change the IMG at each end to img to post them to your sig)
USA:
Here's the link (change the IMG at each end to img to post them to your sig)
That's about the limit of my banner making skills I'm afraid but if anyone can do better, throw them in! 0 -
Jay... YOU ROCK I am so adding that to my signature - thanks for thinking of the idea! (PS UK and Cnd are the same farmats haha) Thanks again!0
