P90x!

I'm on week 3

Day 3, donzo!

i started on may 1 so im on day 4 doing the lean program so its yoga x for me today. not really looking forward to it because the yoga portion of cardio x was kind of boring and i couldn't do some of the moves. but gotta keep movin'!

I too quit after 30 mins yesterday when i did yoga x for the first time. i couldn't do some of the moves right but it made me sweat, and boy can i feel it today. lol. it was hard to see the next move when im facing another way toward the ceiling, floor, side the tv isn't on, etc. so that was really irritating because i didn't know if i was doing it right unless i looked at the tv. also the flow was fast, and before i could look up at the tv, they were already on the next move before i finished the previous one. augh. but hopefully i can make it through at least an hour next week. today is legs, back and ab ripper x. can't wait until tomorrow-kenpo x. i really enjoyed the kenpo in the cardio x dvd.

Day 4 today, Yoga X. I quit after 30 min. Although the stretch for the legs was very welcome as I was incredibly sore from the first 3 days, the workout was just too repetitive.

Is it just me? Should I try again? Is it worth fighting through?

Advice needed!

Yes, you should give it a go with the Yoga (at least during your first round). It is repetitive but it forces you to use a lot of your own body weight that it is almost strength training and you are stretching at the same time.

I will suggest that you try it again. I did it during my first round but skipped it during the second one.

Even though I only did half hour, my legs def felt better. The stretch really helped. I'll definitely give it a shot next week. On to legs today!

Yep, I definitely agree with this comment. I don't love the Yoga (it's so long and can get redundant/painful!), but after sticking with it for a couple of weeks, I've seen a lot of positives. I noticed a big improvement after just the first time (I think there's a hefty learning curve at first...just to figure out what you can and can't do)....as the above poster noted, I've seen it help a lot in the other workouts because so much of it requires strength and holding up your body weight (after you do all those vinyasa, pushups aren't as scary). As a very inflexible bigger guy, I've also noticed a lot of flexibility improvements (can straighten legs more in AbRipper, can lift my knees higher in Core Synergistics, and after this last yoga sessions, I can now do a shoulder stand..which means I can do the Dreya Roll!). Anyways, personally, I've come to enjoy it...it's also one of the few workouts that I consistently see improvement, and I find that very satisfying!

Lastly, just a quick tip: make sure you have a yoga mat or sticky gloves/socks. Otherwise, it's a lot harder. I had been doing yoga without either (just a foam mat), and because I sweat a fair amount (and thus my mat gets sweaty and slippery), I realized I had been exerting a ton more energy just trying to keep from face planting on my sweaty/slippery mat.

current P90X'er here too ... in better shape at 36 than I ever was as a youth/young adult.

I am on week 5, for the 2nd round - feel free to add me if want

Last August my boyfriend was looking at this program for us to do when the kids were at school. Then he decided not to, not sure why. Now hes thinking of doing it again but a guy at work was telling him how hard it was and that guy is fairly fit already. My boyfriend isn't really in the overweight range just a little extra weight in his stomach but he lifts 50lb or more bags multiple times a day at work. He wants to get more "ripped". After what the guy said he has told me he doesn't think I could do any of the exercises on the video at all. I told him that in any video you don't have to do the same amount as fast as the trainer but doing any of it is good but he said I couldn't handle it. I may be way overweight now but I did used to have military type training and I still have the muscle in my legs, my arms not so much but then never had arm muscle strength unless you count tons of push-ups. I would say my back is pretty strong too from carrying around children for 5 years but whatever, I guess we won't be doing it.

U can handle it!!!
