    Half way through my P90, took a week break over xmas, FYI for anyone on Sculpt 3-4, I had previously guessed I was buring about 400-600 calories in one session but after I got a HRM lately and measured it- turns out I burned 881... so I would definately recommend using one to get accurate results and to keep your heart in a safe zone...

    IRISHSHADOWFA -- that is awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!

    UPDATE FOR ME -- well yesterday I hurt my knee while at work. I lost my footing on the snow and some how jarred my knee (I didn't fall..just really jarred it). So, I didn't get the sweat in last night b/c I wanted to rest it and truthfully couldn't life my leg up at all.

    So, today is sculpt 1-2 and I'm going to take it slowly. I know I have lunges to do tonight so I'll see how it goes. I don't want to damage the knee anymore otherwise I won't be able to work out at all!!!!!!

    How is everyone in the group??!?! Would love to hear how things are going for everyone!

    Welcome Timarling and Amaweb!!! So glad you could join us :):)

    Amaweb - day 52!!! That's so awesome. What are the biggest changes you see?

    I am now on day 11/90 --- took the last two days off b/c of my knee. I tried the lunches last night and just could put that much weight on my knee but today it seems to be much better. I'm glad I took the two days to rest it up and heal. We have someone staying at our house for the next two days -- i'm not sure how I'll get the workouts in while they are here but I'll do it somehow :)

    How is everyone else doing? I hope we haven't lost anyone!

    Got P90 yesterday in the mail. Did sculpting 1-2 today.... used two different resistance bands depending on the activity. My polar watch told me I burned 137 calories (first time using one), doesn't seem like a lot - interested to see what I burn tomorrow with the first day of cardio. Maybe I am not working that hard or the polar watch is not measuring what it needs to... not sure. Will keep tracking however.

    I sure feel my quads this evening however.

    LOVED p90x - stuck with it pretty much the full 90 - did it with two others at work in the mornings before we started. Pretty much went full 90, last two weeks we just kind of did it at home and went to the gym and did routines that we learnt from the videos. I did enjoy all the videos thou - ab ripper X = love love love. The only thing was i found the yoga a little boring so on yoga days we'd go to a hot yoga class and WOW nothing better then pouring every drop of sweat you have in you on your mat!!!!

    The only thing is tony got a little annoying near the end so what id recommend is once your used to all the videos and know the routines - turn your favorite music on and mute the video - your own music motivates you to lift that weight one more time :D

    One issue I have with p90x is day 3, 4 & 5 I do abs in one form or another. My poor poor abdominals. Hitting up shoulders in arms in just a few minutes, then I will be halfway done with week 3

    Hey gang -- how is everyone doing so far?!??!?!?! I am at day 23/90 and I'm super pumped for day 30 to get here!!!


    Anyone noticing any changes?!?!!

    Changes...probably mostly mental. However, I do notice that my core feels firmer, in that I can feel all of the individual ridges of the abdominal muscles underneath the layer of soon-to-be-vaporized abdominal fat. Now that's some motivation.

    I did P90 for a month and noticed a lot of increase in my strength. When I went to get a tattoo on my bicep, my tattoo artist was like "Damn girl. What have you been doing?" Kind of made me laugh.

    I have quit doing P90 since I'm doing the 12 week trainer by Kris Gethin. I will say I hated the yoga portion of the tapes but for some reason I loved the Warrior pose while doing it.

    Good luck to all of those doing this, P90X, Insanity, P90X2, etc!
