P90X Support Group...

Wendy!! Awesome progress pics! I can definitely see a good deal of difference there. You were in pretty amazing shape to start with but now you're looking RIPPED! Ab ripper X has been very kind to you I see. Overall greatly improved definition! Very very well done!

Sassy - welcome back to the fold! Can't wait to see the return of your inspirational daily updates

Hey everyone!

Sorry Ive been MIA recently, work has been madness and I've basically been having my own personal pity party with my progress and pain threshold thus far. Part of me wishes I knew to do the Lean version of the program before the Classic but of course the sections aren't written out that way so I of course go in order, silly me..I assumed there was a method to this madness. Clearly not the case. So I took my Day 58 pics and while I don't see drastic change, my husband assures me there's a LOT! So I measured myself to see if anything was changing at all (since the scale refuses to budge) and I've shaved about 2.5 inches off my thighs and hips, 4 inches from my waist, 2 inches from my chest and about an inch and a half from my arms. So its something. I wish my scale got the memo, but it'll catch up eventually I would imagine.

Yesterday was supposed to be my rest day before the start of Week 9 but I took Friday off because I went to a concert that night and thats usually when I work out. I'm thinking I'll have to do a double on Friday this week since I have a hair appointment Saturday morning and Sunday I've got tickets to a football game. Saturday is my Kenpo X day so I'll just do Legs and Back in the morning and Kenpo X in the afternoon Friday.

Day 59, Chest and Back with Ab Ripper X today..Plyo tomorrow! Wish me luck everyone! And I hope you guys continue to inspire me and keep pushing play!!

Wendy - your pics look amazing, numbers dont mean anything when you have a body like that :flowerforyou:

Another week down. I did legs and back on Saturday and I was so sore yesterday. I couldn't do Kenpo ysterday because of the soreness so I took a rest day and got the Kenp in today. I haven't been on the scale lately but my clothes are fiting much better. This has been a good experience so far but I will be happy when the 90 days are over,

Sassy- how long is your challenge to a million push ups? 100 per day for 10,000 days? Just courious-I may join in!

Today - kenpoX plus! Great workout....only wish it were longer than 36minutes. Should do some YogaX today...perhaps tonight? It's recovery week. Next week Phase 2! Woot Woot!!

Chest, Shoulders, Triceps.... On and on and on it seems to go! Really great soreness in the arms by the time you're done though - that would be muscular atrophy in action I swear weeks 9 & 10 with good old chest/back and shoulders/tri's will seem a walk in the park compared to these workouts!

I did well overall today. Increased my numbers on most movements. I tried the suggestion of doing ARX before the main workout, and while I wasn't best pleased with feeling pretty shattered right at the start of the main workout, I was sooo grateful for having done it that way round when it came to the end! 470 out of 349 on ARX today. That must be the absolute max as I started as soon as I pressed play and worked through the intro bit at the beginning, all of Tony's chattering and right to the end. I was ahead for most of the DVD so I got 60 Mason twists in at the end to cap it off. That's gotta be the max right? I challenge anyone to get more that 470 within the DVD time

This program is extreme guys, no doubt about it. But we're shooting for the proud badge of honour that goes with the title 'P90x Grad' - hell, some of you crazy kids are shooting for double grad or triple! I lost count, what are we on here, day 36? 37? Coming this far is awesome enough in itself but tell me you all don't want more of the results you've gotten so far. We're getting in the best shape of our lives here! And all we gotta do is keep showing up and pushing play. BRING IT!

TIl next time.

PS - I think there was some confusion, it's THIS Friday I fly out to Tennessee, back Monday.

p90x round 2 started today!!

I'm sooo excited to be starting my round 2! My first round was lean, and now I'm moving on to classic! Yay!
I'm am especially motivated for this round because my boyfriend is doing it with me now, and I just found out hat one of my really good friends started the program yesterday! so thats awesome because now we can be a cool little p90x threesome.

Chest and Back- Woo! I like the pushups on this one but am still really struggling with pullups! I've never been able to do a pullup unassisted in my life, so my goal for this round is to be able to do at least 1! I would be so happy. Right now I use a chair and even that is difficult.
ARX- Going to be completed after boyfriend gets off work since we ran out of time this morning.

Round 1 stats: lost 17 lbs total. 12.75 inches lost overall!
Round 2 goal: lose 11more lbs of fat and hopefully get some muscles! but not huge ones haha.

Keep it up everyone you are all doing amazing, each of your posts inspires me and motivates me everyday. Keep pushing play!

Can barely type... arms like jello... it feels GREAT:explode: BOOM!!!

So we're on day 37 guys. 53 days until the end. If you're feeling like it's a million miles away, you're not the only one. Here's another way of looking at it though which makes it seem much more manageable.

If you're on the same schedule as the main group and you're doing classic, as of this morning there is only:

6 more Plyometrics
4 more Back/Biceps
10 more Yoga X
6 more Legs/Back
8 more Kenpo X
3 more Chest/Shoulders/Tri's
2 more Chest/Back
4 more X Stretch (plus 4 more optional 'rest day' ones)
4 more Core Synergistics
2 more Shoulders/Arms
17 more ARX

And each time you check one off, there's one less of that workout left to go. Can you believe that we'll only get to hear Maren say "German Potato Soup" twice more in this round? Once today's back/biceps is done, you'll only have to do those endless curls 3 more times! There's literally only 17 resistance workouts left until we're done, can you believe it?

It's all about perspective. When you look at it this way, there's hardly anything left to do.

Hope that helps you guys to get the motivation (as if any of you guys need it!) to stick this thing through to the end with us and earn that 'Grad' title

Cheers

Jay

Ok, so lost a little steam and life seems to want to always get in the way of my workout routine. I missed yesterday since I left home at 645am and didn't get home until 8pm, had a busy day. I am now about a week behind and am trying to double up to catch up. Getting a little frustrated and really starting to dispise yoga x. Feeling pretty bummed that I haven't been able to stay on track. All I can do is keep trying I supose. Have a good day everyone!

Hello Fellow P90Xers,

I replaced Cardio X with Plyo today and I gotta say it was a much, much better workout for me. Cardio X is just not long enough or intense enough so I will be doing Plyo from now on. I know Plyo will help me tremendously with my running. I also ran 2 miles on the treadmill afterwards...good workout day for me today!

I need to get the consistency back in my daily routine so that It is easier for me to plan my workouts. I believe that my work issues are under control for the time being so I think regularly scheduled workouts are on my horizon, instead of having to do doubles and triples to catch up.

I can not believe I am done with day 37 of this thing...WOW! I have only you guys to thank....as I have said many, many times before, I can not wait to read yall's post everyday...the encouragement I get on here is unbeatable...you guys are the BEST!

I did have a great NSV today...I needed a dress for a wedding this weekend and low and behold I am a size 6, I am down a size since I started P90X!!! I bought this fabulous dress that shows off my newly sculpted legs and arms! I have not had any weight loss, what so ever, since I started P90X but I did not expect much since I am in a healthy BMI range but dropping a clothing size and looking toned and strong is what I was after so YAY ME!

Tomorrow is the dreaded Chest, Shoulders and Tri......I will be looking for alot of encouragment tomorrow! I will also have to do the workout when my children are not home since obsenities do tend to spontaneously shoot out of my mouth....sort of like Touretts Syndrome. One armed push ups....ha ha ha ha ha! Any confidence I may have gained today by completing Plyo will be zapped in an instant tommorrow when T.Horton decides to punish me with one armed push-ups.

Make Your Workout Count!
