P90X Support Group...

Awesome Lisa! I also am on day 3, arms and shoulders. Looking forward to it, since my legs are like rocks today. The Ab ripper is not my favorite, but I will try my best.

Nikki and Lisa - looks like we're on the same schedule! How are you guys feeling?

I love Arms and Shoulders, but I really struggled through ABX last night. Yoga today, I'll let you all know how it goes.

So I find that I struggle with nutrition. I am breastfeeding my 7 months old still, and plan to keep doing so till he's a year old. When I tried to follow the p90x nutirtion plan when I didn't my first round of p90x 6 months ago, I started to lose my milk. And as much I as want the results (I REALLY REALLY do!) I don't want to have to stop breastfeeding my little guy. So where I struggle, is knowing where to have my calories, protien/carbs/fat, to maximize the results, but yet still keep my milk. Any suggestions or advice would be great.

Hey all, this group just keeps on growing!!! That's great! Welcome to all the newbies, and for those starting next week, the clock is ticking!!!

I completed Day 4, Yoga X this morning.

Now I know lots of people ***** and moan about this particular disc, some people skip it or swap it with a cardio workout or even a non-P90X yoga workout. But I actually didn't really mind it. It was hard, don't get me wrong... I struggled through several of the balance poses, and the whole upward dog/plank/downward dog/warrior/triangle/etc. phase seems to go on forever.

But I was reasonably well prepared for this after doing Power 90 and Power 90 Master Series for the last 6 months. Both of the previous programs have Tony's "Power Yoga" for 10-15 minutes, 2 or 3 days per week. So I've been exposed to most of those moves before, of course in smaller doses. But the balance poses in the 2nd half were mostly new to me. (CRANE??? Are you KIDDING ME??? LOL)

Then it rounds out with a bunch of stretching at the end, which was very relaxing.

All in all, I didn't mind it. It was a little long, but I will get used to it. And I'm looking forward to improving on the poses over the next 90 days!

I agree! I found it quite enjoyable! And for some reason I sweated much more than in any of the cardio workouts I've done so far.

But then it was my first one... Maybe I'll feel differently in December after I've done 24 hours worth of Yoga!

Jackelyn... I tried looking at the diets in P90X but am actually following the calories here and not eating the "additional exercise" calories. We'll see how it works on the scale after a month and if I need a change, I will. I couldn't imagine doing this with a young child, but you'll probably need to bump yourself up to the next level of the P90X diet or find some place in between to see results but keep your milk production. That is what I would try. Also, yes plenty of fluids.

Hope that gives you a place to start!

So glad to have you all as support!

Yes, you need to eat while doing P90X. I used to estimate my calorie burn until i got an HRM. Now I'm around 145 pounds and for the 45 minute cardio workout I burned 450 calories. Kenpo--400 calories. Not eating back those calories will put you well below the threshold and you won't be able to continue.

I try to follow the nutrition guide but not exactly how it is laid out. I just try to eat a lot of protein. I did count each food group and it did work well. It was just a pain to keep track of.

Welcome! If you hit quote on the end of the box you want to quote from and then you will be sent to a new page, like the reply, everything will be between two [ quote] marks. Just keep what you want to quote between those marks. I hope you can understand that mess lol.

Ok - so I am back and forth for tonight - Plyo or a "weight" workout? I did Cardio Tuesday, Kempo Wednesday and now do I want another cardio workout or do I want to bust out my resistance bands?

PS - super excited I bought those foam puzzle pieces (like the ones for kids flooring) for my basement - blue for the bf and rec for me! Can't wait to have my padded floor until I finish the gym!!

I agree but ladies dont be afraid if you gain weight the frist couple of weeks. This will be my second round of P90X and I gained 10 pounds when I first began but at the end I went from 220 down to 167 and trying to reach my GW of 140. Commit to Suceed!!! You can do it, just put your mind to it.

Drew, You will win it!!!!

Thank you, so excited.

Some one is giving me there P90X stuff I cant wait to start I didnt know there was dieting also hopefully I will be able to do it

Woo hoo! Completed Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X. Boy, am I pooped! I love, love, love this workout. I love working shoulders. I burned a LOT of calories, left a pool of sweat on the floor and will probably need help getting my shirt off and washing my hair!

Oh, I'm down about 1.5 to 2 pounds since starting the P90X Lean program. I did miss a snack (so far) today, but will probably eat those calories this evening! Three down, 87 to go!

HOLY CRAP, I just came across this post I can't believe how many people have commented on it. My husband and I are going to start in Oct. we want to run outside as long as we can. We did P90X about 1 year ago for 4 months. Then it just sat there. But after my husband had his last physical and his triglyceride level was over 400 the fire was lit again. So far he's lost over 70 lbs in 4 months, I've lost 36 lbs. We have been working out 6-7 days a week, 3 with weights and 3-4 with cardio. I have been doing some of the workouts when I can't run. I do plyo once a week. Yoga is the hardest one. I have never done the diet... I just couldn't follow it and my husband will not eat like that. I would love to join in on this just for the motivation and tips and to hear how others are doing. P90X is amazing and I'd like to have contact with others who are using it.

How do I join this???
