I've been sick. I haven't worked out since last Thursday (when I really wanted to bail out of the workout several times, but was proud I stuck through it- I think the heavy breathing helped clear me out). Once I thought I could handle exercising again (I feel sick one day, better the next, and then sick again, so annoying!…

First week of phase 2! I missed one workout this weekend (on Christmas day), so at some point I will do a double day. I'll feel better, and it was a workout I like (core synergistics). I did chest, shoulders, and tris for the first time yesterday evening. Usually it takes me 24 hours to feel sore, but my ribs already hurt.…

If you are "seriously overweight" I would hold off on this workout. It's constant jumping, and many people who are not overweight report knee injuries from all the jumping. I can't imagine what it would do to your joints if they have to bare a siginifant amount of excess weight. Even the people on the videos have to sit…

I'm doing P90X, but doing Insanity for cardio rather than the P90X cardio. It's not easy. I'd be curious to try to do Insanity after P90X, but I honestly don't know if I could do it. The weight lifting days are a nice break from huffing and puffing and pounding of Insanity. ScorpioAngel- I looked on youtube and WOW! Holy…

I started my post-phase 1 recovery week yesterday. I've lost a total of 2.5lbs. I'm hoping more will come off in phase 2 (it will help when the Christmas cookies are gone!). What is P90X2 yoga like? I watched previews of the P90X2 system, and all I could think was that the target audience should be people who work for the…

Wow Fairy- that is impressive! Thanks for the motivation! My wedding dress recently came in (the one I'll actually wear, not the sample they clamped me into at the salon), and I had a try-on appointment on day 2 of P90X. I sent my mom a photo of me in the dress, and when I asked her what she thought (I was surprised she…

I did my last Shoulders & Arms of phase 1 yesterday. I upped all my weight. I have 5, 8, and 10 lb weights and 2.5lb wrist weights. For all but 2 of the exercises (on the only second set, at the end of the workout), I either went to the next higher weight, or wore the wrist weights while holding the dumbells. It was nice…

Can I join the group too? I just joined MFP yesterday, but started P90X on 11/28. I'm getting married in June and have about 10 lbs to lose (I'm just trying to get back to the weight I'm comfortable with, and would like my favorite jeans to fit again!). I am surprised how my body has hung onto these 10 lbs, and wanted to…
