Thanks for sharing your pictures. They are a great motivation for the rest of us. I will take my measurements and pics on Monday. I'm hoping to see some sort of results with all the upper body p90x and running I've been doing.

Me, I'm on day 53. Looking forward to hitting the day 60 mark next week and pushing through the last phase to completion!
Keep pushing play guys. BRING IT!

So excited!!! My hubby just got me this pull-up assist thing....its goes on the bar and has bands that hook onto your foot. It takes 50lbs off my weight, which is perfect for me right now!!! Then as you get stronger, you can remove some of the band for less assist until I can do them on my own!!!! I am super excited to try this out!!! Its still very hard for my with the 50lb assist, I can probably do only 5 at a time...but its progress!!!0

Today is my Day 30 of the original Power 90, after measuring everything, I've lost 10 pounds, and dropped 2% in my BMI! I'm very happy with the results. I've been sticking with the MFP diet plan and doing the C25k in parallel.
I've found only having 2 different work outs in the P90 program thus far extremely boring, I've heard Tony's same jokes at least a dozen times. Its nice seeing the work outs get easier to show my progress, but I've gotten so I dread the same dialogue (I now put him on mute and just play music). So far I've resisted jumping to the Sweat 3-4 and Sculpt 3-4 just to do something different.
Any suggestions on how to mix it up? Should I go ahead and try the 3-4 and jump to the master series once I get bored with that?0 -
Tony's FORVER yoga today...seemed like it would never end but it was needed, especially after my short run. Legs tomorrow...always love a legs day. Probably should have thought about that before I headed out for my first run in weeks. Opps!:grumble: Have a great weekend!!0

Starting week 4 today since I took a week off when I had to travel out of town for a family emergency. Last week I hit all of my goals including 3 P90X strength workouts - back/legs, chest/back, and shoulder/arms (all with ARX) and X stretch combined with 3 runs, 2 bikes, and 2 swims. I think X stretch could be my most favorite workout so far as I am horrible as I never take the time to properly stretch and this walks me through it.
This weeks goals are: 5 P90X workouts - legs/back; 2X core synergistics, and 2X X stretch mixed in with 1 swim, 2 bike workouts and 1 run. I am in the process of taking my training from endurance events (ultrarunning and half/full ironman training) to shorter quicker events (Xterra triathlons and half marathons) and its hard both mentally and physically. I feel weird only running/biking for 1-2 hours instead of 4-5 and often wonder if I am doing enough. And then on the second side, mile repeats at sub-5K base are way harder than my easy run pace I am used to.
How are my fellow challengers? Let me know what I have to look forward you when I move into week 5 next week (and cycle 2).0 -
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I hope you all survived the goblins, ghosts and the candy! LOL!
DECIDE. COMMIT. SUCEED.
How many of you tuned in and saw Tony Horton on the Dr. Oz show today? I loved hearing Tony's story and the amazing transformation stories. It was so cool to hear how p90x was a major roll in transforming those ladies lives.
It seemed the key to each of their success and mastering p90x was modifying their moves until they were strong enough to do the more advanced moves and they KEPT PUSHING PLAY! You don't get anything in life without hard work! WAY TO GO LADIES! I wish I could reach out and hug each and every one of those women. SO AMAZING!
My day...
I ended up having the day off so I was able to get in a some great workouts. p90x Legs&Back was on the list. Besides running I haven't worked legs sense I have been training for my marathon. Tomorrow might end up being an OOHHH OUCHY kind of day!
Your day...
How are you all doing??? Time to check in my p90x-ers!!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hey all. Check-in time. I'm on track and on schedule. Today was yoga, not all of which I can do - some of the moves are too advanced, so, like Kelly suggests, I modify, modify, modify. I'm getting stronger and more flexible, so at least I'm making some progress. Diet has been a problem this past week. Too many dinners out!
Btw, I wasn't able to catch the Dr. Oz show live, but I'll watch the video on the web. I actually almost know one of the participants - Kim Parker. She spoke at an event I was at last month. Very inspiring! And motivating. It's all about commitment and discipline. Push-play - every day! And Bring It!
Hope everyone is doing well. If so, please post. If not, please post! This is a great support group. Let us know if you need us! Have a great night everyone.0 -
just completed day 21. been dealing w/some medical issues and been down b/c of it, but still pushing play (even though it's been more like 4-5 days a week). i've seen some results, and with the x stretch i just completed, i was finally able to lift my butt off the floor and hold my feet up for the plough. yay!! i know i don't post much, but i lurk and love to read how everyone is progressing. hope all KPP, knowing that we'll see the great results as long as don't give up. :-)
btw, my weight is stuck right now, but my clothes fit better.

I did core synergistics for the first time today and I all I can say is "I hate it, but I love it". It was a tough workout but what was most frustrating as there was no time for demos like in the other videos and since it was my first time I had no clue what I was doing. I know I could have just watched the first couple and them jumped in but it always makes me anxious when I see the timer going and I am standing around doing nothing (I know I am watching but you know what I mean). I have the workout again on Sunday so hopefully it will go a bit smoother.0

Glad I'm not the only one who had problems with Core Synergistics. And since we don't do it again until the next recovery week, I'm sure I'll have forgotten everything I did and will be just as lost as I was the first time! Oh well. "Do your best, and forget the rest!"
Today was my rest day, so I just did X Stretch, which I enjoy. Tomorrow it's back to strength training, which I like, and Ab Ripper X, which I hate. But even that is getting a little better. My abs are just not improving as fast as I'd like. I'm seeing better progress everywhere else - just not in my abs - or, in fact, in my flexibility. I am SO tight!
How is everyone else doing? Did everyone take measurements after Phase One? I did - lost about 8 inches overall, even though I gained a little weight. And friends are noticing the difference, which is really motivating.0 -
I have the p90x series and use it often, but its still not on the workouts list on mfp. I havent been able to program it into my tracker. has anyone else been able to find it? or know what workouts i can us instead? he names all of his stuff weird.0

If you read a bunch of the threads on p90x you will find everyone lists their p90x workouts differently. There is even a new thread on this from earlier today - it called p90x so maybe you can find that for some more advice. The p90x nutrition guide lists each workout as 600 calories so you can use that and create your own custom workout. I tend to be a bit more conservative with the numbers and list all of the workouts using calisthenics that is already in MFP for all off the strength workouts, hatha yoga or stretch for X stretch and a mix of hatha and vinyasa for the yoga . I don't do the cardio workouts so I don't log those.0 -
Happy Monday fellow P90Xers! Hope you had a great week and weekend. I meet all of my P90X goals last week (2 times X stretch, back/legs, and 2 times core synergistics). I did miss one of my run workouts but all of my other S/B/R workouts were spot on!! I did have a minor setback last week. I work with a coach to help guide my training and we met last week to discuss my goals for the winter and next running/tri season. As part of this she did a movement screen and it appears that my body is till battered from my 100 mile run from last spring. My hamstring and hip flexors are super tight and are not firing like they should. I will be taking the next 2-3 weeks to focus on getting those healed and behaving but in the meantime some of my other goals and training needs to be postponed. It was a huge mental blow to hear this as I am so ready to get strong for next season. I know I can't be strong if I am injured but it is still frustrating.
Goals for this week are: P90X-2 times X stretch, legs/back, biceps/back, and whatever the arm for phase 2 is called. As well as extra foam rolling and PT for hamstrings and hip flexors. and whatever sbr workouts my coach gives me.0 -
Hello everyone! I started my p90x lean program on Oct 17 so I'm a bit behind you all. I have not had time to read all your posts but have been encouraged by your results so far. I would love to join in on your discussions!
I am just starting week 4 and have had good results so far. I have not measured myself yet but I know I'm at least stronger. I am not getting as tired as soon with the dvd's and I'm able to do more of the workouts now. I can't wait till this weekend so I can measure and see if there is any change!0 -
I slacked last week on p90x...I think I took the term "recovery week" way too literally!!! But as of the 5 days I have been back on track with my p90x/running hybrid!! I did Back/Biceps on saturday and I am still sore from it!!! Today was a distance run day, I did 7.59 miles. Tomorrow will be back to p90x!!
I guess the running with p90x really makes a difference with weight loss....I have actually still been losing lbs during my hybrid...only about 2lbs since the start, but I am happy with that!!0 -

Way to go on hitting your goals last week. I'm sorry to hear about your injuries. I hear you about the mental blow. it's hard to slow down when you are active and LOVE being active, but sometimes we have to do what is best for our bodies. You have a great plan for next week. keep up the amazing work. You'll be back at 100% in on time! 0 -

Hi p90x-ers! Happy Monday! I hope you are all doing well! I'm excited to share I got my new weights. YAY! it's BYE BYE to the 3, 5 and 8 lbs. I have graduated to 10, 15 and maybe, just maybe 20 lbs for some exercises.I was actually sore after my Back & Bi workout. Having my new weights make me that much more excited about doing my p90x workouts. I have 4 more weeks until my marathon then I'm going to start over with a full 90 days of p90x classic and double it with my other workouts, running, walking and Insanity. I'll also go back to very strict diet. I really want to get leaner. I am anxious to get to that, but not while I'm training for my marathon.
How many of you follow the nutrition guide? I'm thinking I might even give that a try this go around and see how it works for me. Have a great week and don't forget to KEEP PUSING PLAY and BRING IT!!!! Kelly :flowerforyou:0 -
Thanks!!! I am now on week 6. The Insanity is still the shorter workouts for now. I am really enjoying the mix of lifting and cardio!0

So happy for you that you have your new weights. I picked up the Bowflex Selecttechs and love them. No more being limited by the "little" weights! And, yes, new equipment always gives one a motivation boost!
I don't really follow the nutrition guide particularly closely. I tried my best to eat 50% protein (as calculated by My Fitness Pal) in Phase One, but now I'm pretty much sticking with my more or less normal Weight Watchers diet. I figure that's a pretty well-balanced diet that focuses on fruits, vegetables, and low-fat proteins.
Hope everyone is doing well. I just finished week six - almost half way through! Has anyone checked out the new P90X app for the iPhone? I'm at the Apple Store now trying to straighten out a password problem so I can buy the app. Saw a presentation about it last night, and it looks awesome!0 -
p90x-ers how are you all doing? Most of you should be half way through your program. What are some of your accomplishments? Struggles? concerns?
I just upped my weights and feeling much stronger and a bit more toned. I haven't lost any weight sense I have upped my calories for my marathon training, but I'm feeling great and having so much fun with my running/p90x hybrid.
Let's all get back to checking in. You all motivate me! Keep up the great work and BRING IT!!!! :happy:0 -
I am at the start of week 6 here. I am begining to think that I will never have the amazing results they show on the infomercials but I am seeing some progress. I am starting to be able to see stomach muscles and maybe a bit more definition in my arms and shoulders. I should have taken before pics but as someone who hates the camera I ciouldn't bring myself to it. I keep saying I am going to take pics each week but never do. I think P90 is helping me with my other sports (s/b/r), I am feeling stronger and looser on the run (although my pace isn't showing it) and I am finally seeing my watts on the bike start to rise (I haven't been consistently bike training. Plus all this upper body work is helping in the pool. I am hitting times I haven't hit in years and just overall feel stronger.
Last week was Legs/back, Back/Biceps, and Chest/Shoulders/Triceps plus 2X XStretch, 2 swims, 2 runs, and a bike workout. This weeks goals are a repeat of last week with P90X, 1-2 swims. 2 runs, and 2 bikes. The only issue is that I am fighting some sort of illness. It kept me coach bound last Sunday and I thought I was feeling better but now my throat is sore sore sore again today.
Hope all is well with you all!!0 -

I have had some results as far as the body change. I have lost inches and I see definition in places I haven't seen in year too! I AGREE 100% about these workouts making me stronger with my other activities. I feel so strong. As you can see strong enough to take on a marathon HA! I will always do the beachbody workouts. I love them and I love how they are always adding new workouts.
Great job on your commitment. You are doing fantastic. I also LOVE how you mix it up!
Today I ran 3 miles (my rest day...oops HA), 3 mile walk and p90x Back&Bi's0 -
Hi everyone, I just want you all to know I'm still here doing the P90X/ Insanity Hybrid. I started Week 8 this week, in all I think I may have missed 4 workouts in all. Now I love that I'm stronger and have definition on my arms and back but why have I gained so much weight? I have put on 4 pounds since I started this. I do not believe it can be muscle as I continue to eat at a deficit 6 days a week. I have always been told you will not build muscle while eating at a deficit. Now truthfully speaking, I like what I'm seeing in the mirror but I can't help but to feel down because of the increase in weight. I'm not going to give up, but I'm not sure why I workout so hard and gain weight? Is anyone else having this problem or am I just a freak of nature?0
