Vweavers, I have to say that P90X, the original, is the best for all around mix of cardio and strength training. I believe that P90X is the most complete workout program there is whereas Insanity or TurboFire would be the king of cardio workouts. And Insanity the Asylum is slightly ahead of P90X2 as far as sports…

Tanksquire, I wouldn't say I am an expert I just like to stay informed on whatever it is that I am doing, so I try to get as much information about my interests as possible from all sides of a subject :D Anyway, about your question and carbs, the nutrition guide for P90X increases carb ratio with each progressing phase. If…

That is awesome to hear that people are noticing a change! The strength phase is awesome, this is my last week of it. So that will be 6 weeks of the strength phase and I think I should do a recovery week before the final phase. Has anyone who has moved onto the last phase added in a recovery week yet?

I substituted X2 Chest, Shoulders & Tris this morning for Shoulders & Arms. I liked this workout for the new moves, especially for the shoulders which is my weakest body part.

This morning I substituted "4 Legs" ( the bonus dvd that came with P90X2) for Base & Back. It was a great focus on balance and the legs, calves especially, but since I didn't get a back exercise in I think I am going to have to do "30 - 15 routine" one on one.

I have never been much of an energy drink person, but I think I am addicted to pre workout supplements :P I love the focus and "pump" that I get from taking one before a workout.

I think this says it all

I started the second week of phase 2 today, still loving the strength phase! And I still plan on extending this phase the full 6 weeks. I believe this is where I need to focus most of my effort, because I am trying to add some weight (I am 5' 8" and weight 150), I know this site is mainly for weight loss, but I wanted to…

Today was "Shoulders & Arms" and again I loved the workout, because it was resistance training. Mostly all weights and the focus on biceps, triceps, and shoulders. I did have a "Uh Oh moment" when I first did the overhead tricep pull, I was not back far enough on the stability ball when I threw the weights behind my head…

I started phase 2 this week and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed day 1 - "Chest, Back & Balance"! What could be better than a workout filled with push ups and pull up, and the push ups on medicine balls ?!!?! Awesome workout, I can't wait for "Shoulders & Arms" and "Base & Back" later this week. I will more than likely…

Hey David. I don't go by the number of protein, carbs, fat per day, I focus on the percentage of each for the day. You could also change the heading for your entries to "carb" "protein" "fat" instead of breakfast lunch dinner, and log that way.

Forgot this one, it's very hard to play a game with him around.

Tomorrow start phase 2 of P90X2 and I can't wait to get into the strength phase! I will be focusing on maxing my reps at 8 - 10 and adding weight as needed to accomplish this. There will also be 3 days of X2 Ab Ripper, so this could be challenging, but I look forward to it.

This is my daughter's cat that has to "help" me everytime I have a project to work on around the house.

Now that you mention it, I usually have shoulder issues too. I avoid dips because they tear up my shoulders, but so far no pain this first phase! Hope you get the ok from you dr :)

Almost to the end of week 3. I can't wait to start phase 2 on Monday!

That's awesome Chantelle! I'm glad that you are able to adapt and improve on your second week! Keep it up, your doing great! A 2 mile run after a full week of P90X2 Scorpio, wow! You are committed, wtg!

I'm finally back after having a week of internet issues :( I am just finishing up my 2nd week of phase 1, I think my favorite part of this phase is the workouts on the stability ball which makes you focus and makes you keep your body tight. The extra day of recovery is nice.

I can't wait until phase 2, I want to do more of the weight training, but I will stick to phase 1 until I complete the 3 week minimum.

Chantelle, after my first week I am loving P90X2 also! I love the focus on the core in most of the workouts, being that I have back issues I need all I can to strengthen my core. The use of the balance and med balls to make the workouts "interesting" and challenging is awesome!

P90X2 is different as far as the moves go, still the same idea, just different, and sometimes more advanced moves. As far as the extra equipment, you can always modify, one person on screen will show you how to do without the extra equipment. I don't have the medicine or stability balls yet or a foam roller, so I am…

Wow! Awesome job! There is a big difference, you should be proud, way to go!

Scorpio, I like it so far. It feels like Tony went back to the original way of training like in P90X. I also like the focus on the core, I don't think there is enough of that in many of the programs. Stephelan, if you made it to day 78, (congrats btw, P90X is hard) you should give P90X2 a try. The first phase is like a…

You can add me :)

WOW! Awesome job! I am glad that you shared your story, because you should be proud of your accomplishment.

This summer, Bullet for my Valentine, my favorite band. Finally got to see them for the first time, it was awesome!

I just joined a week ago. I'll take all the motivation I can get :)

Welcome! I think you will find that the people on here are very helpful and keep each other motivated.
