    I'm almost done with my second week of phase one. How do we track the exercies/calories burned for FitnessPal, though? It's not listing any of the workouts, and I dont know how many calories are used in an hour of each workout...

    Karen you have to go into "my exercises" and create your own P90X workouts. On average you should be burning 600 calories in 1 hour of the workout if you work at your max.

    I hope that helps

    I'd love to join! I've had P90X sitting by my DVD player for a year. I usually manage a few days, then just lose motivation. It'll be great to have some support (other than my husband, who usually just sits on the couch watching. Hey, maybe I can get him to do the program!).

    Hahaha. You're not alone! I've been doing that on and off for two years now. :sad: That will be so awesome if you can get your husband to join. Too bad my husband doesn't believe in "workout dvds." He prefers the gym. Oh well. I'm glad youre joining us! Please dont forget to join our group if you haven't already! : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/2795-teamextreme90

    I've always wanted to do this so I'm in! I have a bad knee(b/c of an injury a couple of years ago) so I hope that doesn't hinder me too much. I still lift weights and use the elliptical regularly so let's see if I can handle P90X. I'm excited!

    Good luck...just started day one of phase 3 of my P90X/Insanity hybrid. I've done two rounds of P90X previously and a round of Insanity. After this round, I go into P90X2. I will not be active on this thread, but I may check in from time to time. I'm here if anyone wants to FR me for support.

    You have to really want it, regardless of support groups. 99% of your motivation has to come from inside you...

    p90x rocks!! I've done it a couple times and my wife and i have also purchased additional programs from them. The main thing is to be serious about it. Find a specific time that you can do it at least 5 times a week. i have small kids and they realize that i need to exercise so during that time they will sit and color or play games. They do start getting impatient after awhile but they realize that it is going to last until Tony says its time for the cool down. Yoga is tuff at first but after awhile it gets better and then one day you realize that you can now pick up things off the ground without bending your knees or exhauling deeply. Its kinda cool.

    Diet is also huge. Take it from me. You can exercise EVERY day but if you dont avoid carbs and fats, your wasting your time. i finally got some advise from a nuitrionist and have made changes that i believe will help me get the results i want.

    Either way, stay dedicated, eat right and prepair to be sore for a couple of days..

    My partner does P90X2 and we do not have a bar. You can modify things--they have one guy on his dvd who modifies the workouts for hotel rooms because he travels a lot.

    Hey it would be awesome if we could all get together as a group and do the workouts together. But apparently everyone is pretty much scattered everywhere. So if you have the P90X program, you can start with us next Monday. We will all be doing it by ourselves of course but we will come on MFP for motivation and support!

    Same here. That's why I started the group! We can do it!
