Stretch before and after any workout to help avoid injury. That trainer is incorrect at that statement. Everything else sounds good.

I am having the same problem. I just increased the poundage on my weight routine and I have gained 4.5 pounds in two weeks. My clothes are looser and I went in a hole on my belt and my back and abs seem to be tightening up so I stopped worrying. I know muscle weighs more than fat but it is hard to tell yourself that when…

I really had two reasons. I wanted to live a little longer or at least give myself a chance and I did not want to be an embarassment to my daughter. She is almost 5 and I really needed the strenght and energy to chase her around and do the fun things in life without limitations.

I really pushed hard this week and was able to drop 3 pounds in a week which I was happy about. I did wonder this morning if anyone else feels like me when I see Dreya and Dan Brown. My first thought is man this going to hurt lol. then I do the workout and I am glad I did it. I definitely will need to work off this…

Well I may stop complaining about UML not being enough workout. I did it yesterday and REALLY pushed it to the max and my abs are truly sore today. I enjoyed Sweat 5-6 this morning. I am in week 2 of my new schedule and so far so good.

I cannot remember if I got this idea on here or somewhere else. I am going to try this routine for the summer. I am even going to make myself do UML and find ways to make it more difficult so I do not get bored. Today was day 1 of week 1 and I really enjoy the cardio intervals routine. I will see how it goes just trying to…

OK I have ben doing the original Power 90 Sweat 3-4 and Sculpt 3-4 this week to try and encourage my wife to get back into routine with me, she dropped off about 3 months ago. I forgot how much faster paced these seem to be, I think you get a little more time to catch your breath in the master series. When I was doing the…

Sorry I never find time to post, I do most of my tracking with my phone. I have been moving along with the P 90 MS and enjoying most of it. I have my favorites. I have really grown to like Plyo Legs and I love Cardio Intervals and Sculpt 5-6. I have completely stopped doing the UML. I felt like I was wasting my time. After…

It looks like everyone is coming along great. So far I am 55 days into P90 MS and I have lost 24 pounds with it so it obviously burns some calories. I have already stated I like some workouts much better then others. At this point I am thinking of eliminating UML completely. I have two reasons one it is REALLY boring (to…

Ok I have shared this link before. It is a calendar in excel you just put your start date in and it calculates the reset. Here it is http://www.getfitwithgrav.com/2009/12/29/power-90-master-series-printable-calendar/ As Mike said there is no set routine but I am using one of these calendars. Make sure you click on the tabs…

Well I am on day 39 of P90 MS, I am using one of the get fit with grav calendars. I have done all the workouts and I have my favorites and my not so favorites. I would have to say that at this point the Sculpt 5-6 and the Cardio Intervals are tied for my favorites. My least favorite is UML just because I think it is boring…

Yesterday was Day 30 of the P90 MS for me. In 30 days I have lost 12.5 pounds and 3 inches off my waist. I knew my pants were getting really loose but I was amazed at the 3 inches I even measured again today to make sure. I believe the "recovery" week on the standard schedule burned 2 of those inches off, I still am…

I totally understand the need for variety. In my opinion as long as we are moving we are doing good. I love seeing my muscles come back so I tried the standard. I was amazed that I could easily curl a 50 pound dumbbell 10 times at the store the other day and I have only been using a 10 pound dumbbell. I found a great set…

Hey Mike just out of curiosity which version are you trying this time the standard or the lean. I am trying the standard with the Fat Burn Express in the schedule. I did not do the core cardio until this week and it wasa good workout. I also think you will like cardio intervals, it is a great challenge but you feel great…

Hey Mike use this link for an excel file for an easy to print P90 MS calendar http://www.getfitwithgrav.com/2009/12/29/power-90-master-series-printable-calendar/ Just put in your start date and it will calculate the rest. Use the tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet to look at 4 different workouts.

Congrats Mike on finishing P90. As you know I am already into P90 MS. Today was day 25. This is the recovery week. I do not know why they call it that. I am more sore this week from Tony kicking my butt then in all of P90. Don't get me wrong, it feels good to work hard but today I did Plyo legs and just call me Mr.…

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. Looking good Mike.

I now have Day 1 and Day 90 pics in my profile

Day 90 I just demolished Tony Horton in Sweat 3-4. Over these first 90 Days I lost 49 pounds (my goal was 50) and 23.5 total inches. I am feeling pretty good about things. I am looing forward to starting the masters series on Monday and I am shooting for 30 more pounds in the next 90 days. I will post some pics in my…

Thanks

If I could figure out how to add pics to a post I would put them up here. I cannot figure it out

This is my first post here. Today is day 89 for me tomorrow is 90 YES!!!. I had a goal to lose 50 pounds in 90 days, I am a big dude. As of day 83 I had lost 46 pounds so I will weigh in tomorrow and see what the results are. This site has been great for counting my calories and helping even when I go out to eat. I cannot…
