Finishes W4D1. I was worried about running 5 minutes, but I slowed my jog down a little and I got thru it feeling great!

I did W3D2 yesterday after taking 2 days off. The first 3-minute run was a struggle the last minute, but I think that's because I was also going up a slight hill. I found the second 3-minute to be much easier to get through. It sounds like everyone is doing fantastic! Keep it going!

Sarah, your questions are great. It was like you put into words my exact story too! I keep telling myself I worked hard for so many months, and I reach my weight goal, so I cut back on exercise and being as strict on my meals. But although my weight has stayed within a few pounds, I feel too that I still need to work on…

W2D3 done. Where did everyone go?

I just finished up week 2 yesterday, but would love to give/have some support.

Glad to hear from you! Sorry to hear about your health issues. Best of luck!

W2D1 done.

I'm the farthest from an expert. The most I ever paid for sneakers before was about $35. But I read so much about people getting hurt from running, and I wanted to make sure to protect myself (pay now or pay later). So I went to a place where the guy was able to see how I run and recommend a good pair. I paid $105 plus got…

Finished W1D3. Ran outside and really, really enjoyed it. Tried a free iPhone app that told me when to walk and run while listening to my music. My new running shoes felt great! I hate having to take every other day off, but I'm not going to push it. How's everyone else doing?

I will be on Day 3 tonight. I bought a pair of running shoes that I'm anxious to try out. I completed Power 90, and about 1/2 of Power 90 Masters Series, and needed a break from dvd's. I've used the treadmill so far, but hope to get outside tonight, as the humidity is low. I've never before run, but I'm up for the…

I thought more about your question Stef, and for me it was more a departure from doing the same exercises over and over with P90 (same one every other day). In one sense, it breaks up the boredom, but I personally wonder if doing a different module every day (even though some exercises are repetitive) literally spreads out…

Like JC mentioned, I'd also suggest looking at P90. I've never used P90X, and don't think I would have been able to do it, considering I was going from having zero exercise, overweight by about 40 pounds, and 51 years old. My son and I both did P90 religiously and found it to be challenging (boring near the end) and…

Not to scare anyone, but if you are getting bruises all over your body and don't know why, please check with your doctor. When my son was young, this started happening to him. The doctors sent us immediately to the hospital and it was discovered he had something called ITP (Ideopathic Thrombo Purpura). It is where the…

I took Sunday off, as I am soooooooooooo sore from Core Cardio on Saturday. This happened a couple of weeks ago when I did P90 1-2 for 2 days. I can't believe how sore everything is. Tonight I plan to work through it doing either treadmill or a dvd.

First day back on MS in quite a while. Finished up Core Cardio. I had to skip the last 4 routines as I can feel the effects of not working out in a month. But little by little I hope to get back to working out at least 5 times a week. So far since starting again on Thursday I did a walk at lunch followed by treadmill on…

What a great policy! Can you imagine if every workplace let their associates do that? We'd all be so much healthier, and companies would save far more money in Health claims then the hour they lose. Sounds great that your staying active with biking and other routines! I think winter is a good time to be doing the dvd's.…

I've been away for a month. Looks like everyone else has vanished too? (except Steff).

Sorry for not posting much lately. Got home Friday from a much-needed week on vacation at the beach. I didn't exercise the whole week, but did plenty of walking. I also didn't worry too much about my meals. Nothing crazy bad, but had a few drinks and lots of ice cream. I must say for the first time in many years, I wasn't…

That's the way!!!! Awesome! Great to hear your new schedule is working for you. Keep it going. I did a half-hearted Sculpt last night when I got home. The appraiser is coming to our home tonight at 6pm for a refinance, and I knew I had a bunch of cleaning and straightening up to do, so my mind wasn't in it. I think I made…

Wow! You really do have your hands full and every reason to take some time off. It's great to see you bounce right back though. Best of luck to your family...hope everyone gets feeling better real quick!

I kept meaning to check out your pictures at home since I can't get access at work. I finally remembered to just go on Safari on my iPhone (wish MFP app on phone had access to these topics). Anyway....awesome transformation Mike!!! It's always inspiring IMO to put a body with a name to really "see" the progress. You have…

Sweat 5-6 and AR 200 done last night.

FBE done last night! It was fun!

No workout tonight. I started with a headache on the way home from work. After spending an hour plus on the phone with the bank to discuss refinancing our house, my head was ready to explode. Feeling better now. Tomorrow's another day.

Dee and Mike...it's great to see your motivation and success. Keep it going! I ended up doing a 2nd workout last night. I did Core Cardio in the morning, then Plyo last night. I only did about 3/4 of the workouts, as my Father's Day dinner was awaiting! (Can't hold the kids up when they have things to do). I'm sore today,…

lobster...sounds like your ON FIRE!!! Great to hear the mood has struck you! Seems like you have enough to share :smile: CCJ...sounds like your doing great too! As long as the pants are getting looser it's most likely your getting leaner and gaining some muscle. I've had trouble eating well lately myself. It kind of goes…

Did UML last night.

Thanks for the comparison Mike. Trying X-Stretch and then hearing from you about Cardio X is taking some of the fear of P90X away. Let us know how you make out with Kenpo. Way to Push it! Brent....I ended up skipping Monday night too! I was looking at refinancing so I spent a few hours going through our finances and…

Cardio Intervals done last night.

Sounds like you'll need to do some stretching after today! Be safe!
