    Day 5 today!! Yoga yesterday was hard! I feel like since I don't know the poses already for yoga, it was a bit complicated!

    the yoga is no joke! it is tough but I love it. I am supposed to do it tomorrow but I will do kenpo tomorrow and yoga sunday just due to time constraints. Thats the only problem with the yoga is its so long! great work!

    yoga x today!! SO glad I did it. Mind and body are feeling much better!! tomorrow is supposed to be kenpo, halfway through recovery week! I may run instead of doing the kenpo because I will get a better burn and I am having friends over for dinner tomorrow and there is sure to be some "cheating"!!
    I actually noticed some definate improvement with my yoga moves!!!
    Keep up the good work everyone!!

    Hey everyone. Hope everyone is doing well. What do you all enter for p90x for calories? I just finished arms and shoulders and abs and my HRM showed that I burned only 150 calories!!!! I wasn't out of breath and sweaty like cardiox and core etc just muscle pain and all that. I know when you do strength training you burn fat and calories after the workout too but it is painful to work so hard and only enter 150 calories! I entered 200 just cause.... I guess it should be enough just to know that there are benefits but what do you all think?

    la_nanita. Just to let you know. I have all of the bands and weights and find myself using the weights anyway. There is more flexibility and less trouble in my opinion. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks about that but I noticed that the people in the dvd's mostly use weights. Not sure what everyone else thinks but I''m left thinking "why did I waste my money on the bands?"

    Hi. I'm about 2 months into this round of P90X. Today was Chest and Back day. I'm alternating days with Insanity this time through. My goal is to keep up this route until they ship out the P90X2, which I'm looking forward to trying. I've found that using this site to track my calories has helped me to ensure that I'm doing what I need to do to get the most out of the workouts. While I'm not typically one to excited about anything to do with shopping, it was nice today to go looking for pants with a smaller waist-size. If anyone would like to add me and keep in touch about workouts, keeping with the plan and such, please feel free!

    Thanks Polly... I was thinking of the bands because it would be easier to store and travel with. Also, you can make it easier and harder on yourself based on where you hold the bands. If you ever think of getting rid of your bands let me know.

    week 4 recovery, last day today, which I did core synergistics. Week 5 starts friday!!

    I have bands, but I prefer the weights!

    I prefer using the weights over the bands too. I feel limited with the bands, but that's probably because I'm not used to them.

    I can't stand the bands. I don't feel like I am getting nearly as good of a workout. But maybe that is just me
