Welcome and good job with taking pics, measurements and doing the fit test. The measurements are very important. Many people gain weight during p90x, me being one of them, BUT I lost inches and went down more than a full size in my clothes! That was big to me, more so than losing a number on the scale BIG!I just found this thread!! I took my fit test, measurements and pictures on October 1 and did my first workout on the 2nd!! My boyfriend (who is not a MFP user) is doing it with me
So far I love it! We are both very sore
Have fun and I can't wait to hear more about your progress!0 -
I am a few days late, I started today. My resistance bands finally got delivered!! I loved it. I did the best that I could do, even if I am still doing push ups on my knees. Going to do the ab ripper when the kids get to bed. Maybe my partner will join me.
Nice to meet you all. Will read back in the thread as soon as I can.

Starting is the 1st step to success! WAY TO GO!
I started out by doing push ups on my knees too, but I kept at it and was doing boy style pushups mid way through p90x. If you keep at it you will get stronger. Go at your own pace, do your best and forget the rest! 0 -
Thanks Kelly. I just finished ab ripper and my 12 year old was my spectator. He said I sound like a pump... Then He asked if I could pump up his bike wheel for him. Laughing and ab ripper don't mix. I did it, did my best and look forward to improving each time. I love the p90x. It's exactly what I have been looking for.0

Bunch of newcomers to this thread. That's great. Welcome to you all! This is shaping up to be a fantastic support group.
I completed Yoga X this morning. The first half of the workout had me sweating up a storm. It's a real workout! I'm pretty tight, so a lot of the individual moves were difficult, but I did my best. Look forward to gaining more flexibility.
Keep it up, everyone. We're doing great!0 -

It really is a kick butt yoga workout. I remember the 1st time I did the yoga x I was thinking it would be somewhat easy...WRONG! It kicked my butt all over the place. I was dying! LOL! Good to hear you got through it.
I'm excited about everyone on the thread. You're right it's shaping up to be a fantastic support group! I LOVE IT! 0 -
Hello my challenge peeps. Loved hearing how some of you did today. How are the rest of you coming along?
As most of you know I'm doing a p90x/running hybrid and swapping out the some of the p90x cardio with running. Today was my run day. I struggled, but got my scheduled 4 mile run in. I've been tired all day today. I think it has something to do with the dramatic weather change and I'm sure my body is still trying to recover from Sundays 20 mile training run. BUT I still gave it all I had and kicked out 37 minutes 4.25 mile run. Now I'm getting ready to head out for my nightly 3 mile walk with hubby and my puppies.
Tomorrow is Yoga X for me!
A REMINDER, no matter how tired you are KEEP ON PUSHING PLAY! I'm proud of you all! Kelly :flowerforyou:0 -
With the wonderful advice of the fabulous Coach Kelly....I am taking today as my rest day since tomorrow is my very first 5k race!!! So I will be back to the p90x part of my hybrid on Thursday night!!0

If you don't feel like you are getting a good burn and want to add more cardio. I would say go for it! Do doubles by adding your own cardio or more of the p90x cardio workouts. My 1st go around with p90x I fallowed the classic schedule to a T and I still went to the gym before my p90x workout and ran anywhere from 30-50 minutes. I couldn't give up my running. I always go for a 3 mile walk at night! That to me is more like an hour of chill time to spend with my hubby and puppies though. Let us know what you plan to do and how you feel. KellyOkay, so here's a question for everybody. I am two days into the "lean" program and find that according to my HRM, I was actually burning more calories under the P90 Master workouts. I am seeing changes in my body and am very happy with my increased cardio, but...since my goal is weight loss and fitness, should I: 1) switch to the "standard" program; or 2) add some additional cardio sessions?
Would really appreciate your thoughts. 0 -

I did my first round of Plyo today and I am shattered. I could not for the life of me do rockstar jumps. Oh well I tried my very best.0

Saw this thread a bit late, but I started the first power 90 September 30th. I haven't worked out at all in over a year, so I thought p90x might be too much of a jump. Hopefully I'll stick to it and the diet plan, its going to be a challenge with the holidays coming up!0

Thanks so much for the advice Coach Kelly. I think I'm going to switch to the Classic program and also add in a bit of cardio.0

HA! I had to laugh at this because I always feel stupid doing the rock star jumps. It took me some time to get use to those. Keep doing it and you'll get it down LOL! Don't forget to laugh at yourself :laugh: and have fun with it! :happy:0 -

ABBY....GOOD JOB! WAY TO GO!!!!! :flowerforyou: You did fantastic. I ran my 1st 5k years ago at 29 minutes. You did GREAT! :drinker: (that's water in the drinker cup LMAO).0 -
OK Challenge peeps. How was your day? I was having another low energy day. I'm not sure if it's the slow days at work, girly issues (sorry boys HA HA) or the dramatic change in weather? I was scheduled to do Yoga X today, but only got half way through and needed something a little more upbeat. I decided to finish my workout off with a round of Cardio X.
and my nightly walk! I feel alot better now.
Tomorrow is a 6 mile run day for me....
I also wanted to talk about Kenpo X for a minute. Many of you have either done the Kenpo X or have it coming up. I wanted to point out there is alot of punching, kicking and foot work involved. You may feel a little discouraged, ridiculous or uncoordinated the 1st few times you take on this exercise, but give it a few go around and you'll be punching and kicking like the pros. It really is a fun workout! :happy:
Have a great evening all!0 -
Okay - a friend sent me a set of the DVD's, but it's missing Ab ripper. Do I need that to get started or since it's DVD #12 can I start now while I'm waiting for the other one to get shipped to me.0

hey im 3 days in with my roommates, and i was wondering what kind of resistance bands u used or weights. i bought a cheap pair from walmart but they dont say the resistance on them and for all my roommates its pretty easy. let me know if u have any suggestions.0

I'm starting another round of P90X today. I'll take the challenge with you!0

Kenpo X is my favorite workout. I felt really uncoordinated the first time I did it but then I started doing in in front of a full length mirror so that I could see myself. This really helped me see what I was doing wrong and my form immediately improved.I also wanted to talk about Kenpo X for a minute. Many of you have either done the Kenpo X or have it coming up.

Wow. Yoga X IS tough. The boy and I tried to get up early to get our workout in before work, but we were both just so sore/stiff. Everyone else sore?0

I hope you're going to do start another round in the new year. I did it just over a year ago, haven't worked out since until a couple of weeks ago and I'm definitely not ready to take on P90X just yet. Hopefully by January I'll be ready to get back on the P90X wagon, I LOVE those workouts!
I will be starting a round in the new year0 -
I started on Sept 28 so I would love to join this challenge. My goal is to do the strenght based dvds (shoulders/arms, chest back, etc), core, yoga , and stretching dvds as included in the program but supplement my own cardio through running, biking, and swimming. Being an ultrarunner and triathlete, I can't give up my s/b/r. I would also like to work in the plyo dvd a couple of times as while I will hate it, I know it will be good for me.
I am hoping that P90X will give me some of the upper body strength I need for mtn biking.0 -
I just started it yesterday and it damn near killed me. Pain never felt so good.0
