    Anyone else use a HRM to check calories burned while doing P90x?

    Yes I do, find it’s a good way to track cals burnt. Think quite a few of us here (?) use them.

    Yes, I always use a heart rate monitor. It add's to the competitiveness of the programme.

    Well,that is Yoga done for the second time this week. I certainly dont want to see another yoga mat for a while now.

    Rest day tomorrow...I will do the stretch though and maybe a hike.

    Have a good day all.... :smile:

    Congrats on another great Core workout. I think I heard "Banana - Superman" in my dreams for a few days.

    week 5 completed, I am finally able to do some pull ups in legs & back, still not ready for the corn cobs, but I guess that in a couple weeks I should be able to.

    Ok - so last week, due to travelling, time zone changes, and business meetings - I hardly worked out. So I am going to double up my P90X workouts this week with either a 30 minutes session on the treadmill or on my rowing machine - should get me back into the swing of things...

    I did plyo tonight. I struggled tonight. just wasn't feeling it. Oh well. I know that happens every once in a while.

    had to catch up yesterday so I did chest Shoulders and triceps, ab ripper and half plyo. I dont feel too bad about the plyo as I did 90 minutes of capoeira on my rest day and will do so going forward.
    Today was back and biceps, tough one, it's the second time I do it, and I always underestimate it, but it is actually one of the toughest strength one. finished with ab ripper including an extra 30 mason twist as I completed the whole workout a bit faster than tony and the kids (except for scissors where I do exactly what tony says). that felt good! 379 moves :p

    Ok, so I rowed for 30 minutes (6924 meters - rowing is a great cardio, full body workout - avg HR for 30 minutes is 154 BPM, and I maxed out at 182 BPM), did Plyo for 45 minutes, and Ab Ripper X.

    Yes, the thread seems to be slowing down - not many folks left who committed in Mid August to do the program...

    However, WE are almost there.

    Hey Lisa,I was the same on Monday. There are definitely day's when the tiredness and soreness kick's in.Then all of a sudden it's all good again. There must be something in this muscle confusion...lol.
    Just keep doing your best,you doing great.....:smile:

    Leg's and Back + Ab Ripper X,completed today.

    flu is in, started on sunday, though I was able to complete most of my workout, except that I could not finish plyo, not enough breath. But yesterday I had to skip Yoga, which is meaningful as it is my favorite workout.... hopefully I'll be in a better shape tonight for legs and back, but as I'm in training with an external company I cannot call in sick.

    KPP guys, minor roadblocks are only that ;)

    I'm still here and pushing play (except for yesterday, but then again, I did not even had the strength to practice my guitar!)

    This week was tough for me. I was busy in the evenings car shopping so I did manage to workout Wednesday morning before work. Thursday morning I slept through my alarm and didn't get yoga in this week. Friday I didn't get up early thinking I could do it after work but I found a car to go look at and didn't get in until 11 so no legs and back. However, I just finished Kempo and plan to do legs and back tomorrow. Of the two missed workouts, I would much rather miss yoga. My legs need all the work they can get. You guys are all doing great. I am so glad we have this forum to share our experiences. :)

    I am not a member of this group but looking at getting the DVD"s and wondered if I do get them if I need to buy anything else to go with it? I see people talking about doing pull ups? Does it come with a pull up bar or do I need to buy one?

    Hey Tracey,

    You can purchase the pull up bar as part of the package or separate,entirely up to yourself. You can also use resistance bands if pull up's just aint your thing.
    The programme is tough and challenging,but oh so rewarding. Good luck.

    Chest,shoulders and triceps completed for me today,plus the ab ripper.

    Have a great weekend all and enjoy the workout's.

    HI All! I'm here. I didn't know when I was going to be back to the board. I have, have to get a knew phone so I can have daily access to this awesome website and network of support. This week has been a very tough week emotionally. I have been doing my workout fine but skipped two ab ripper X, and half of Yoga X. I am going to try to get back on track. On the plus side kenpo X was a success. I hadn't lost any weight and lost only fractions of inches during the first phase. As it was mentioned earlier in the thread, I am looking forward to the changes to come at the at the end of Phase 2.

    Keep pressing play!
