Just joined mfp. Started P90X a week ago. Dear lord, is it tough. I'm so sore. Just curious about the results others have had. Looking online it desnt seem like any P90Xers began their fitness regime w P90X, they all started beach body or one of the other programs. *shrugs* suggestions? Your results? Support? Lol wanna just talk about your aches and pains? :-)

    Hello all, I'm about 60 days into P90X, however I've had to adapt it due to a recent knee injury. I'm also relatively new to MFP. Feel free to add me to your group/friend list for encouragement. I'm 5'8" at 167 lbs for anyone interested in a comparable level.

    I'm doing p90x at track practice switching every other day with strength training. We don't do the entire length of the routine (just what we're able to do) but enough to make an impact over the season, and just enough to not feel overly tired or sore. I'm hoping that by the end of the season I'll be able to do the whole video :)

    I'm new to p90x as well, and the gym and strength training in general... keep up the good work!

    I plan to keep up my workout routine.
    But I have to modify a lot of the moves because I'm so out of shape. A pull-up?? Me??? Fogeddaboutit! So I use bands. I'm thinking of omitting the yoga, stretching and one other on the days I take body pump classes. Which is t th sa. Until I'm able to build srength and endurance.

    I did my pull ups for 2 months with band before I could do any worth writing down.

    I did P90X a couple of years ago. Went on vacation, and it was hard to get back to it fully. I started it a few times, but then it seemed I got bored with it. Looking back, I think I was just lazy. Loved it when I did it though. I am now on day 4 of Insanity. WOW!! That is some tough stuff. I am 6'1" and 264, looking to get down to around 215. Eating has been my biggest problem. I like pretty much anything. Feel free to add me if you want encouragement. Lord knows I could use it too. Good luck to everybody.

    ive noticed that about tony horton. " you can do this if its easier for you, but im gonna do this...." and i hate his smile when he is still working and everyone else has stopped and got some water and wiped the sweat off

    other then that, i love it. im only on day 3, and im more sore after doing plyometrics then after an 8 hr day of rough framing

    Thanks Everyone... i appreciate the feedback.

    Just looking around online and i hadnt read of anyone " just starting" and beginning with P90X. all the success stories of people who had significant weight loss all seemed to start with another program and graduated to P90X. so i was wondering if i was asking too much of myself.

    like i said before, i plan to keep it up, at my own pace, and increase intensity each day as much as possible.

    I did P90X about a year ago and really had fun with it. Just started doing Insanity by Beach Body, but don't like it as much as P90X so I'm mixing the two now.

    I'm in phase 3 week 3 of the Lean program. It never really gets any easier since you're always improving and increasing the reps and weights, I have to say that I feel a huge difference in my fitness level from the beginning until now. It's super addictive! Feel free to add me as a friend!

    i also just started P90X last week. I honestly dont think that they are that hard. i like them and was so scared to try doing them before bc of everything i have heard but once i did them i was like "ohh, well that wasnt as hard as i thought" but of course..... i had no idea what was in store for me the next day! lol. although im pretty active and it didnt seem hard i was sooooo sore the next day and still sore a week later. going through the motions doesnt seem hard to me, i enjoy them actually. but i havent done them all yet. i did one of the chest and arms or something like that which i didnt care for but i think its bc my resistance band was the issue, im sure if i used the actual weights i would have felt the burn a little more. but i have done CardioX, KenpoX and Plyometrics and love them... until the day after i do them of course. lol. but im just doing them to be active and burn calories, im not doing the strict workout plan the way they say to or the diet that came with it. i just do whatever i feel that day. I can already start to see a difference in areas i wasnt working on or seeing before P90X.
