If you're doing (or have done) P90X, and you miss a few days, what did you do? I just missed 3 workouts due to stomach virus, and am starting again tomorrow. (If it matters, I missed Shoulders & Arms, Yoga X, and Legs & Back. Tomorrow was supposed to be Kenpo X.)

I could do a couple of things. 1) write those off, and just pick up where I was supposed to be with Kenpo and go forward from there 2) count those days as rest days, and pick up where I left off with Shoulders & Arms or 3)double up the workouts for the next couple days to get back on track.

I'm leaning toward doubling up (Shoulders & Arms and Yoga tomorrow, Legs & Back and Kenpo on Saturday (which was supposed to be my rest day) and then pick up with my new week on Sunday as originally planned, but I was curious about what others think. I can't be the first person to miss some days. LOL There may even be an official P90X answer for missed days, but I didn't see it.

    That's what I do too, double up and keep pushing play. But I've never doubled up two days in a row. I do the most important workouts and forget the others.

    I missed some days as well. I just pick up where I left off.

    If I miss days I just pick up where I left off.

    same here - just pick up where you left off and you should be fine.

    Option #2. That way, you're not missing any of the workouts, but you're not working yourself too hard (you were just sick, cut yourself a little slack!).

    I have completed a round of P90X and still supplement with it from time to time. Don't skip em. Pick up where you left off or restart the week.

    I'm not doing P90X currently, but I missed a week with P90 and am going to be doubling up next week to get back on track with where I should be. I usually have 1 double up day a week, due to my work hours on the weekend, it's hard for me to get a workout in so either Fridays or Mondays are double days. That being said, since you're just getting over a virus, I'd probably take it slow for a little while, unless you feel up to doing doubles.

    Start the week over, dont double up, you will not be putting the full effort into the second work out. Tony wont come down and bannish you if you miss a couple of days, Just keep pushing play.


    I hope Tony didn't hear that! lol
