Looks like we, myself included, have been slacking on posting here! How is everyone liking X2 so far? What phase are you in and how long are you going to stay in it?

I am in the third week of phase two, and I am not sure how long I will stay in it. I am liking doing more lifting, but curious what phase 3 is like.

    I stayed 2 weeks in Phase 3, then went back to Phase 1 - I have a race I'm hoping to PR in two weeks and opted for foundation as I"m doing doubles for performance. I'll stay in P1 for two weeks after my race, then hit phase 2 and 3 again, working back up the ranks of the weights.

    I have a half a month for the next three months - and debating running a full marathon in June. I believe I can easily train for it based on running 15 miles consistently now and only needing to train between now and June up to 20 miles before going for the full.

    P90X2 has been an incredible program for training. I"m thinking of dropping 2 days of running and 1 day of biking to do Asylum at home instead. My last half, I'd only done Insanity and Asylum and ran 1 day so this may be a good plan for the remainder of March.

    We're in the 2nd week of phase three. We only did phase two for three weeks. I think this is going to be a three week phase as well. There are only about three DVD's that I really like. I can't stand PAP lower; however I like PAP upper. I prefer this yoga over the original yoga. I like the original plyometrics over Plyocide. My husband and I want to focus on burning more calories. Neither of us have a problem with putting on muscle and strength. X2 was great for balance, hopefully I'll get a chance to work on that some more. After we finish up X2 we're going back to Insanity and jogging more.
