hey everybody!
just finished Cardio X! Felt good, i just wish it were longer! I usually do 2 workouts a day, one strength one cardio. but on cardio x/kenpo x days i usually just go for the p90x workout. since cardio x is so short and i can really tell my body is getting used to it i think i might try and throw in some pop pilates later
anyways you guys are doing awesome! keep it up and rock it!0 -
I am so glad I found you guys, I thought my motivation was lost! You guys are addicting in a good way and you keep me in check!
Sunday was busy for me, my son had a swim meet, which can take all day but I was determined to get in Kenpo, even if I had to sacrifice my run. I managed to do Kenpo before the meet and talk about getting out pent up frustration....just imagine anyone or anything that has been a stressor in your life as a target and you really get into it. I guess I was doing that because according to my HRM I burned 75 more calories than I did the first time I did this DVD. I was a good workout!
Today was rest or X Stretch and I decided to go with X Stretch...it felt really good. I was a little soar from Legs and Back on Saturday but after Stretch I felt much better, soreness was all but gone. I then went on a long run....I feel like a million bucks especially now that my group is back! :happy:
I am going to plan a party for WHEN (not if) myself, Jay and Wendy conquer the dreaded PULL-UP and when Mike is able to do the crane in Yoga X......(I am just wondering whose idea it was that we should even attempted such a ridiculous position...SATAN that's who!) When we are able to complete these terrible things, DRINKS are on me :drinker:
Make your workout count!

Cardio-X in the books BOOM brought it with sweat dripping!! Damn superman bananas at the end!! Gotta love the burn!! Forgot my chest and back at my parents so going to have to switch or sub... Haven't decided bu might do legs and back and save chest and back for Saturday... Either way I am ready for week three!!
Congrats to everyone on completing weeks two and three let's continue to rock this!! Keep pushing play!0 -
Well.. All quiet from my end yesterday.
My brother came over so I was busy until about 9pm. Then I had to do my hundred pushup challenge (it beat me for the first time) so it was 9:30 by the time that was finished. I COULD have still gotten an X Stretch in but the fiance wanted an early night and she's been very patient with me taking an hour and a half a day out of our scarce time together so far so I thought I'd give this one to her.
So no X Stretch for me again. Second week running I've taken the rest day over the X Stretch - tut tut...
Diet & supplement wise I've been doing better the last few days. Mixing my protein shakes up with milk rather than water certainly helps the protein intake and the lactose in the milk negates the need to add any dextrose as a transporter for the creatine - which is a good thing.
Back to bringing it tonight with the last Chest/Back of this phase!
Day 15 people! We're smashing this sucker!!
Jay0 -
My boyfriend laughed at me yesterday. I was very sick doing chest and back, but I was so determined to do something. I had to take A LOT of breaks, but I did it.0

Msaap... Great way to push through it!0
-
Hey everyone! Nice to see everyone finding the new thread!
Day 23 done, Core Synergistics... First time doing this one, and it was pretty difficult!!! Lots of core work and some complex moves that require a little practice LOL. Overall I did pretty well. I've done some of these moves before in Core Cardio from the P90 Master Series, so that helped. But some of the moves were brand new (and HARD)... Glad I watched this video before doing it.
All in all, I'm enjoying the recovery week, but looking forward to lifting some real weight again next week!
BRING IT GUYS!!!
-Mike0 -
Way to go Msaap! I am starting week 4 today, "recovery" in my book is not yoga for an hour and 1/2 but hey, it is what it is. Good luck to everyone on the start of their new week!0

Day 15 in the bag.
I felt chest/back was quite easy and stress free for me today. Just pushed on through and it was over before I knew it. In a way, I'll miss chest/back over the next 5 weeks until it makes a return. The banter between the guys in this vid is my favourite
Increased my weights on the moves that needed weight (I'm so far pulling 15kg on lawnmowers and heavy pants and 12.5kg on back flys.) and increased my reps all round (although still no real unassisted pullups!!!). At this rate I'm gonna need to get some more 5kg weight plates as I can only go up to 17.5kg per hand with my current setup!
ARX was tough as hell, but that's nothing new. I managed 362 out of 339 which is pretty good but still 4 short of my personal best. I know the moves I can go for extra credit on and the moves I struggle to get the 25 on. I'm gonna start playing with adding a little weight into the ARX routine. Today I held a 1.25kg weight plate for the mason twists - too easy, Thursday I'll go for a 2kg plate.
I caught sight of myself in the full length during today's workout and I have to say I have NEVER in my life had guns like I have right now! I'm seeing BIG changes here guys. Remember, we're half way to the 30 day photo check in! Can't wait to see all your progress!
I was also thinking I'll put together a video featuring all of us at the end of this thing. I'm quite keen on video editing y'see. I thought some kind of moving montage of our day 1/30/60/90 pics or something. Haven't thought about it properly yet but I bet we could do something pretty cool as a lasting testament to what we're achieving here! If anyone has any ideas, drop me a line.
Keep bringing it all. Until next time.
BOOM!!!

Week 3 has begun yall.... Blasting through this thing. Is this program extreme? yup!!! Is this group even more extreme???? You bet your *kitten* we are! Way to go guys!
Todays workout was pretty extreme... I'm freaking exhausted. I pushed it as hard as I could with chest and back and increased EVERY number. And believe me, I left nothing in the tank. Sitting here in my classroom (30 minutes prior to class) wondering if the instructor would mind if laid down on the hard tile floor until class starts! FREAKING AWESOME WORKOUT! BRINGIN IT!
push up total - 244
pull up total - 69
Ab ripper X was tough... Especially Phifer Scissors, Hip Rock and Raise, and Pulse Ups! wow....
Jaybone... I agree, the workout flew by today. The very first time i ooked at the timer, there was only 10 minutes left! I was like... "YayY" haha. And I think the video would be an awesome idea man. I would be so grateful if you could put that together. All of these triumphs rolled into one package! Great idea bro!
Have a good night yall.... Talk to you tomorrow!
Drew0 -
Jaybone.... FREAKING AWESOME @ about catching a glimpse of the gun show in the mirror! Way to go my man! BOOM!
msaap... Way to push play! Thats a way to make things happen.
A very wise Jedi once said... "you do or do not... there is no try!"
Bring it Yall!

Took me awhile to find the second thread but here I am. I have managed to get all my workouts and I am feeling great. Legs killed me on Saturday so I did Kenpo X yesterday. I haven't been on the scale yet but my belt is one notch tighter so I think it's working.0
-
Just thought I'd follow suit and throw up my totals:
168 total pushups - 136 week 1 & 152 week 2
53 total pullups (1 unassisted...) - 43 week 1 & 41 week 2 (both 1 unassisted).
My ARX numbers for the 7 done so far are:
266
299
130 (yeah, I phoned that one in a bit...)
329
366
304
362
Cheers

Just started p90x lean yesterday, and I am SOOO glad to find ya'll on here! Hoping to get some tips and encouragement on here, since my hubby is in Iraq for another 5ish months.0
-
thanks for the support ya'll I am just going to move on to week 8. I finished up yesterday with Kempo, and I brought it! I noticed though I am burning less calories than before..maybe b/c i weigh less? or I am used to it?? before was like 520 calories, now around 415... today is my rest day though, I like to go outside and run!0
-
"Loving every minute of it" Did Legs and back tonight as i don't have my chest and back disc (left it at my parents *grumble* :mad:) Loved legs and back tonight but dogged it a bit at the end. I was dead tired but loving the pain.
Ab ripper killed me haha - getting better at it though and feeling better while i do it!
Keep pushing play team!0 -
Week 4, day 1 done! Just when I think how much I hate yoga, I realize how much stronger I am during the moves. I definately have to thank everyone on here, when I have my "I don't want to do this today" moments, I think about all you guys kicking *kitten*. :drinker:
Keep it up everyone, for you and me! Time is flying by and it will be over before we know it.0 -
i felt the same way with the Yoga x. my husband and I have to do it together to get through it, or i need him to get through it, after an hour i want to quit, but i am glad i dont0
-
You guys are AWESOME!! I did Plyo last night and I felt no pain this morning!!! Now I'm gearing up to do Shoulders & Arms this evening. I love the way my body is transitioning into a well oiled machine. It's one thing to lose weight, but it's a amazing feeling to lose weight and tone your body as you go.0
-
Msaap - way to bring it yesterday with PLYO. That is one of my fav and least fav workouts of them all. It is a love hate relationship with Tony when he is telling me to jump and I could swear that I am but barely get my feet off the ground. Eventually I am looking forward to owning that video! I really enjoy the back to basics sports inspired moves - makes me feel like I'm in highschool again!
So funny story - today I was walking to the clients and was walking with the receptionist to the elevator when she said to me "you have really powerful looking legs, do you work out or are you naturally blessed" haha :blushing: She then proceed to tell me how she was married and straight but had been admiring my legs for since I started the audit at the beginning of the week. Talk about NSV haha! Guess all those claf raises last night with my substitute of Legs and Back are paying off :drinker: I did let her know that my secret is one part genetics but mostly Tony Horton! P90X baby!!!0 -
What's up fellow P90Xers! Can anyone join this group? If so, I'm in! I'm on day 10. It's awesome to see so many other people on MFP who BRING IT!!!0
-
SASSY!!! HAHAHA! BoooooooooooooM! Great story.... I love it!
Mule... welcome on board sir! We look forward to reading all of your triumphs man! Bring It!

Hey all, busy busy day today. Just wanted to jump in and post my update for the day...
Day 24 Kenpo X done this morning... I love that workout! I brought it hard, and felt great afterwards.
Mule, welcome to the group!
Everyone else, great work bringing it today!!!
-Mike0 -
I would like to join this group. I'm on week 10 of P90 and I can definitely see some changes! I haven't lost as much weight as I would have liked, but I definitely feel stronger. I can complete plyo without dying and am consistently doing more reps. I can finally do dive bomber push ups and I can (mostly) keep up with the yoga video. Good luck to everyone "bringing it!"0

Evening.
Just a quick one to drop in my log for the day. Man, I hate plyometrics! This stubbornly twingey right ankle is still giving me jip, so I had to modify some of the movements to lower the impact. Still brung it though! I'm hoping I won't be stuck with it for the whole program, that would suck!
Also just finished my hundred pushup challenge for the day. After Monday's humiliating defeat, I moved down to the easier column 2 but it still kicked my *kitten*. Managed the minimum of 20, 25, 20, 20, 28. I'm thinking I'll move it from Mon/Wed/Fri to Tues/Thurs/Sat to better fit in with P90x. Let's face it, I've essentially worked triceps and pecs 3 days running and with arms/shoulders tomorrow, that'll be 4 days on the Tri's!
Been thinking about this video... Who's thinking of doing a video roundup of the program on day 90? It would be great to get a little bit of video and voice off everyone with your MFP username and your thoughts on the program and I can link it in with the group vid in some way. Just a thought of course, nobody has to be in the video who doesn't want to be
Signing off for bed. Good work everyone, way to bring it for 16 days straight - some of you even more!
Jay0 -
Judi, Mule and any other new folks I missed - Welcome on board! Good to have you with us on the journey
Jay0 -
Jay... I love the idea of a composition of our progress! I think that it would really show well and be a reminder of what we accomplished together! Way to look toward a happy and successful future!!
Realized this evening when I got home I left plyo in my computer at work and Kenpo at my parents haha - had to do Cardio-X. As Tony says though, "Do you best forget the rest" and that's what I did! I busted my butt in Cardio-X, loved it and am looking forward to arms and shoulders tomorrow - BRING IT0
