    I want to as the discs have arrived but I am a complete begineer.
    I was trying to find out if the weights I have will be ok or if I need different ones I have 1.5, 3 and 5kg
    and I don't have a chin up bar yet - someone suggested using resistance bands instead, but how to I do
    the fit test at the start without it or is a bar the best option - if so do different ones have different weight limits?
    as if I get one I'd rather get one hubby can use as well if he decides to join me.

    sorry for the questions

    A group of us started p90x on Dec 26th and are just starting week three. It is great!

    Be prepared to work hard, feel sore and strong! You can bring it!

    I'm on week 2 of the Lean routine. I've done Insanity and parts of Chalean Extreme as supplementation when I needed a shorter workout due to time constraints. This is my second go 'round with with P90X after falling off the bandwagon in 2011. I struggle with push-ups, Chest and Back humbles me every time...hoping to build up to the main schedule after a month of Lean to shed the holiday goo.

    New to calorie counting and can already see the difference that it is going to make. This is the hidden secret IMHO.

    I have not yet accepted the 90 minutes of Yoga, it crosses my mental barrier of 75 minutes of workout time. Therefor, I do the Fountain of Youth Yoga from the One on One series. Working out after 9pm is rough with a standard office job and a 60 minute commute.

    Additionally, I find myself doing Cardio Abs from Insanity instead of ARX. Found a few studies indicating that it is physically better to do abs first, plus it gets over the mental fatigue that you can experience that leads to skipping it altogether.

    I'll also be on my 2nd week of Lean tomorrow. Ive previously started p90x 3-4 times and have never made it past week 3. Ive also tried Insanity once and got about 2-3weeks into it and then just fall off track. I def like p90x over Insanity. I usually substitute the yoga video with the cardio x or plyometrics..i just very much dislike yoga and have yet to force myself to do it lol.
    Maybe we can be motivation to each other? Do you use a heart rate monitor to track calories burned durring working out? I dont have one and for the cardio advised to categorize it as aerobics and the strength videos as calisthenics...How are you logging it in?

    I just conquered Plyo. I could do most moves. I had to modify squat jacks and hot foot. I have broken both my feet and both legs in the past so I did not want that much pressure on my legs. My goal is to be able to kep up with the people in video. 88 days to go!

    I've already done a round and never got to the point of keeping up in Hot Foot. I end up switching every 15 seconds, my foot usually cramps.

    I started on Monday as well! I am doing my second round with it. I got awesome results the first time. Insanity didn't do much for me. I wasn't impressed. Have you joined mybeachbody.com yet?

    Just stay with the Ab ripper X! You'll start noticing that it gets easier to do the full 25 and will be adding an extra 5. I do it before the main workout and that works better for me. By the time you know, you will be doing things with arms raised and will be adding weights to the ab work out.

    A little update. I borrowed a friends p90x and tried it out. First it was not that challenging, I guess I have been doing power 90 masters series for so long I am in better shape than I thought. The second thing was the workouts are not "interesting" enough for me, I did enjoy Kempo though. I thought there was a lot of wasted time and I prefer a whole body workout not just focusing an one area. I did take some benefits from the p90x, it inspired me to modify the master series and quit dogging it. I bought some heavier dumbbells and went up 10 to 25 pounds on my weights, focused on my protein intake, and I am really seeing results even after just a couple weeks. I am totally wiped out after the sculpt routine, my muscles shake for a while after the workout. I even had difficulty shaving after the first day I went more intense. The weight loss is proof to people that weight lifting can burn pounds, I have a couple people that keep telling me I will never lose enough weight because I lift weights every other day. Hey I actually wore a size large shirt for the first time in ten years the other day and just last year I was wearing xxxxl. I am still looking for my next workout. My wife is looking at turbo fire, she has been inactive for almost a year so if it gets her moving I will turn over my man card and do it with her. Hey I will still be moving but I will definitely keep the curtains shut and find some time to keep my weight routines. Honestly if I can be an encouragement to her I will gladly do the workouts because it will be important to her. As for me I previewed a friend's insanity and I think I have had too many leg surgeries for that one right now. For now I will keep ramping up the masters series and yelling at the television. I pretty much owned Horton this morning on the sweat workout. I am thinking of buying a weight vest for my cardio days.
