I'm a One-on-One subscriber, so I'll be getting a free Turbo Fire preview this month. Woo-Hoo!! :bigsmile:

Here we are . . . http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/89626-p90x-starting-a-new-thread

Happy Birthday!! Cold Stone Creamery Sinless Ice Cream with blueberries! That's what I plan on having for my birthday next month! :bigsmile:

To add to this, it's also important to keep them secluded until they are at least 4 months old -- after they have received ALL of their shots + the rabies vax. The last thing you would want is for your puppy to get parvo because he went to the park too soon.

This thread is hilarious. I will say that I'm almost 38 & have a 6yo & 3yo. I rocked a bikini last summer, and I'll rock it again this one too!! Not without my SPF 50 though!! :bigsmile:

Insanity is not a beginner's program. There is A LOT of jumping, pushups, running, etc., all done at a very fast pace. No modifications are shown. You should start out with something like Power90, Slim In 6, or even P90X, before attempting Insanity. I had done P90X four times before my first Insanity round, and it still…

Jennifer - We also have an Insanity thread here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/71530-insanity We're a small, but very supportive, group! :bigsmile: Some tips . . . 1. Make sure you eat clean and often. Use the Elite Nutrition Plan and follow the calculations. Your body needs food for fuel during these intense…

Jennifer - I have some tips for you that I'll post in a little while. They're on my other computer. :smile:

That last part is very important -- Insanity is EXTREME & is not for beginners. I had done P90X four times before attempting Insanity, and it blew me away. I'm on my third time through now, and it's still hard!

From Beachbody . . . 60-Day Total-Body Conditioning Program Your personal trainer Shaun T will push you past your limits with 10 discs packed with cardio and plyometric drills with intervals of strength, power, resistance, and core training. No equipment or weights are needed, and you don’t have to be in extreme shape to…

I do Insanity on hardwood floors in my office. You will benefit from a great pair of cross-trainers; running shoes won't cut it. You could also get the rubber mats that go together like a puzzle. I'm sorry; I don't know what they're called. My kids have them for their play area.

Thanks for the friend invite. Of course I accept! :wink: I wouldn't describe the women on the videos as bulky. I would say they are shredded & strong. They don't have much body fat, which lets the muscles show. Are you drinking a protein shake as a recovery drink? They are not one in the same. Protein shakes are great for…

Stick with Classic. Women cannot bulk up; we don't have the testosterone to do it. Plus, if you're in a calorie deficit, it's impossible to gain muscle. You'll shed fat which allows your muscles to show, but you will not gain size.

P90X most definitely works -- if you do. You have to follow the nutrition plan & give it your all to the workouts. I've done five rounds and am totally in love with it. Feel free to send me a message if you have questions!

I'm a Beachbody girl -- and a coach! I've completed: Power90 Power90 Master Series P90X - 5 rounds P90X+ Insanity P90X/Insanity hybrid Current rotation: P90X+/One-on-One/Insanity Hybrid Obviously, I'm a Tony & Shaun T. kind of girl. :bigsmile: My goal is to be as healthy and super-fit as I can be. I eat clean and have 12%…

I'm in total agreement with Jess & MissyKaye. Insanity is not a program on which to diet. Your body absolutely needs enough fuel to make it through the intense workouts. I eat A LOT, and my body burns through every bit of it. When I hit Month 2 of Insanity, I was hungry all the time. Follow the Elite Nutrition Plan. Eat…

Brilliant!

You need some space, but not a lot. The Plyometrics routine requires you to hop and jump around a lot, so you'll probably have to move the coffee table out of the way and do it at a time that won't disturb the neighbors too much. Same with Kenpo because you are kicking to the front, side, and back.

You can get a pull-up bar that goes in a doorway, or you can use bands & a door attachment for pull-downs. If you have weights, you won't need the bands except if you use them instead of pull-ups.

Hello. I've done multiple P90X rounds, one full Insanity round, one Insanity/P90X round, and am now doing another Insanity hybrid. So, essentially this is my third time through the program. I was already super-fit before I began my first round, and it still knocked me on my rear. It is a tough tough program. One very…

I also do about 30 minutes of yoga on most days. :bigsmile:

I did three complete rounds of P90X, one round of P90X+, one round of Insanity, and just finished an Insanity/P90X hybrid. I'm about to start a hybrid of P90X+, One-on-One's, & Insanity. Beachbody has a lot to offer!

That would be correct! I just finished my 5th round. You can just keep going and going! :drinker:

You can get bands and a door attachment and do pull-downs instead of pull-ups. Tony shows how to do them in each video as a modification. I do recommend getting the bands from Beachbody; they are very good quality and are strong. I had some from Sports Authority that broke, and I can only imagine that Wal-Mart's version…

Strength training. You will replace body fat with lean muscle, and your body will burn more calories & fat on a 24/7 basis.

Along with the pull-up bar & weights or bands, you'll also need a yoga mat & a good pair of cross-training shoes. Throw away all of the junk food in your house & get ready to start eating clean. Good luck!

Yep, you need a HRM. I love my Polar F6. Calorie burns are very individual, and depend on weight, how hard you worked, etc.

The only difference between Lean & Classic is the rotation of the workouts. Classic has three days of strength training, 2 cardio days, 1 yoga day, & 1 rest/stretch day. Lean replaces one of the strength training days with a total body workout (it's called Core Synergistics and is by no means a cake walk). Personally, I…

I second coconut water. It naturally rehydrates the body with electrolytes after a tough workout, and it has more potassium than a banana. I use it as part of my recovery drink almost every day. In looking at the container now, I do see that it has 14g of sugar, but it is 100% natural.

Congratulations Steph!! That's awesome!
