Awesome! Congrats on finishing the program! That's a great achievement! You can definitely see the difference.

okay- I'm out of my routine! I'm not working out everyday and then my diet fell apart too! I think I might need to start this last block over on Monday again. This hap[pens a lot- if I overhaul my diet too extremely, I usually counteract it when I'm done. hence it's not good for me to "diet". But today is a new day and I…

Yesterday I slept in(on purpose) and then went to the gym. I used the pullup assist and did The Challenge routine at the gym. WOW! So much better of a workout than using the bands at home. I think I will try to continue this since that workout is just once a week. I am sooo sore this morning, but it feels great! I wasn't…

Well, I'm taking a break this week from P90X3. My friend wants to do a 7 day Jillian Michael shred program- and I thought that would be fun to do with her. Plus I'm refocusing my diet to pretty much 100% clean eating. I have a headache from the sugar withdrawl!!! Anyways- I will restart my third block next Monday or…

That is great! Keep up the good work!

Welcome! I think PX3 is an easy program to commit to, although the workouts will be tough! It's nice to have a group to come back to and share those tough moments. I think even in the beginning you can feel yourself getting stronger week to week so it keeps you motivated. I have three kids too- thankfully they're a bit…

Congrats on doing some pullups!!!! That's AWESOME! I think I want to get the assist band. I feel like I'm short changing my workouts because I'm using the bands. It wears out my arms, for sure, but not to failure. Although I'm still working on full pushups as well. I can do some, but not many so I still do the modified.…

Did Agility X today, first time in a while. I agree some of his comments, especially in this video, are a bit harsh if you're not apart of the group. I actually was doing this video while my mother was in the back using an elliptical- which he makes fun of. Fortunately she was upstairs before he said the thing about aging.…

Got my Yoga X in- just need to do Dynamix tomorrow and I'm done with Block 2!!!! I was amazed at my flexibility today. Maybe because it's transition week and I haven't been pumping iron... but I definitely see improvements. And the scale was nice to me today. :)

Pilates. I know I did this one before but it felt completely new to me. Except for a few crazy moves I feel I did it ok- even tried to keep up with the breathing(something I barely paid attention to the first time). Guess my core is better than I thought! Well, fingers crossed that it's so. :)

yesterday was a great day for me! I did my Accelorator, which probably could have been done a bit better. But I went for a walk at the mall with my mom(1hr) and then I tried Zumba at the gym. I've done Zumba in the past, but this was a new instructor and it's been a while. It was fun- but I'm used to higher intensity and…

That's good! That means your pushing yourself and making changes! You won't always feel super sore. Next week you can see how much you've improved! I learned to really like and appreciate the yoga, it moves fast though!

Actually, I like this one better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyYV0TBY3rU

I did Accelorator this morning. I (for some reason) wasn't looking forward to it- I knew it would be hard. It was, but certainly manageable. With this workout you're up then down, repeat. Which I hate... but with a few short pauses I got through it well. I need to ramp up my exceitment/motivation to get through this last…

That's amazing!!! Great job!

Did Lower Eccentric today. I'm a day behind. I'm so motivated to finish block 2 and take pics! I want awesome results/pics so I feel like I need to make the next week of workouts count. Although I do that anyways, I don't like it when I don't give it my all... but with only 30 minutes a day- got to push through all the…

Great job! Pics make all the difference!

Today I did Triometrics. It's my least favorite. I slept in, drank 2 cups of coffee then felt like I could push through it. Getting better at it! Looking forward to my transition week next week. I can totally tell my body is changing. I haven't really lost any weight yet- but I haven't gained(or if I did, it's gone now). I…

I mostly use 10lbs... I have 5, 8, 10, and 20. If I need more then 10's I usually use a band. 20's rarely work, depends on the particular move. I try to not ever use the 5's but there are a few moves I need them. I think I use 5's for CVX.

Did MMX today after going to the gym. Glad to get it done. Tomorrow is Dynamix or Rest... I want to add in Yoga, I think it makes a difference in a long lean look. Also, I'm officially half way through the program!! So excited! I'm a little scared about the third block, but also think my body is changing so I'd be excited…

Did Incinerator today and rocked it! I started grabbing my husband's weights- 20 lbs for several of the exercises. I wish I had 15 lb weights. I have 5's, 8's, 10's and 20's.

That's a good question. I think Mass is meant to bulk you up- so you will probably lose fat, but the scale won't show that. I wouldn't expect huge weight loss for any P90X program. Certainly it is my hope to lose some weight, but you're changing your body composition. I would stick with classic or lean unless you are…

Are you looking at P90X or P90X3? Once a week there is a rest OR stretch day for either program. For P90X the diet plan has a ton of info, and more than 1 way to look at and build your diet plan- can be very confusing. P90X3 is more relaxed but has some of the same principles but less hoops to figure it out. I tried to…

Congrats on starting something new! I'm in the midst of week 6 with X3 and I haven't really lost weight, but I'm slimming down. I have 20-40 pounds I should be losing as well, but really, when it comes down to it, I want my body to change and slim down, that's more important than the number on a scale. I would just add…

I did Triometrics today. I hate it! But I had my plan, fit it in before I visited a friend this afternoon(my reward). Plus I tell myself "it's only 30 minutes" over and over. It's really not that bad- but my least favorite for sure! But, I GOT IT DONE! Looking forward to Yoga tomorrow!

Thank you- my son is fine, just need to get him to a dentist soon. Normally I do workout before they get up, but since it was Saturday and my husband was home- you'd think I'd be good to go! Anyways, on Sunday I did Dynamix and Yoga X- felt great! This morning I did Eccentric Upper with my husband. He just kinda stood…

Well, I did most of MMX today- and I really liked it. But in those last ten minutes my son fell down the stairs, bruising his arm and chest and broke his front tooth! It was awful! So needless to say, I didn't finish the workout and barely had time to make my shake and shower before I had to run my daughter around town.…

Well, after Triometrics I was afraid to finish this week! I messed up my yoga day and slept through Eccentric Lower yesterday. I almost did it in the evening but my husband wanted to do it. So we got up early today and got it done. Not so bad! But then that's how I felt about Eccentric Upper and the next morning I could…

Today I almost did yoga- I was interrupted 5 minutes in by my kids. I was not happy- but certainly the zen was lost. I might try it again later. I do like the yoga, it's grown on me. Can I say yesterday- triometrics - was BLAH! It was the first video I didn't like and dread doing again! It wasn't all impossible but I…

I think I'm exactly the same length along in the program. I just started week 5!
