I've got a question for you, did you finish the program in the exact time?
I find the weekends when I go to my parents I can't do certain workouts like chest/shoulders,triceps etc cuz all my weights are at my place. Therefore I end up doing some cardio instead, like going for a jog.
My question is, have any of you guys found yourselves in similar situations? I feel like i am somehow cheating because I am not doing the workout scheduled for that day. I'm on week 11, and I KNOW I am going to finish, just might take me a little longer then anticipated.

    Do your best and forget the rest!
    Don't sweat it if you can't complete the specific workout of that day. Life does get in the way sometimes. The key is to keep at it and you will do just fine.

    I sort of have a hard time sticking exactly to the schedule. sometimes all I can do is go for a run that day- I have stuck with it for the most part but a couple days a week I kinda do other things because life happens.

    I promised myself I'm getting back on it today. So I'll be starting week 5.

    Good luck!

    my wife and I are doing P90X and are in week 4 of the program and have actually stayed pretty consistent with our workouts. We are afraid that if we make the excuse to not do a workout for whatever reason, then more than likely those excuses will come easier.

    That being said, we did miss 1 day of workouts, the Chest/Back/Ab Ripper day. We ended up doing it the following morning, followed by Plyo that night. Perhaps that is just us pushing ourselves, but we wanted to make sure we werent cheating ourselves either.

    Keep pressing play, keep doing your best and everything else will work its way out.

    i have a hard time with ab ripper x because my mid section is...well...ultra soft and it hurts as i get up (i shake lol) but i keep pushing. The second time i did ab ripper, i was able to sorta keep up with the guys.

    I try not to cheat because i wont be able to maximize the benefits of p90x. I do hate yoga x but love it at the same time :D

    Lisseth,

    Consider p90x as a jump start to a lifestyle change so if you miss a day or two or have to push or rearrange workouts, that's fine!!! Great job on your progress so far!!

    You can switch around some of the workouts. I don't think its a big deal. I sometimes took my rest day in the middle of the week depending on my schedule; but make sure you have day in between the weight lifting workouts. I highly doubt you want to do upper body lifting one day and lower body lifting the next day - I tried it once, it wasn't fun (even if you are working different muscle groups). Just finish strong!

    that's exactly what it is, a lifestyle change, since starting this program i've cut out partying and drinking and putting *kitten* in my body that i should have never put in anyway, i'm a better person, or at least I feel like a better person, and i actually ENJOY working out :)
