mine were basically the cheapest set on amazon... stackable, but only go up to 25 lbs...

ooops, pull ups! Doh! (I'm going to do that too... bananas in protein shake after morning workout... something light and carby snacky after evening run!)

Legs and back today. Tried to really get low in all the squats, and added another exercise band to my stack. My legs definitely were feeling sore by the time I was done. Didn't have time to get in ab-ripper x, so I'm doing it tonight after I run/swim. I decided to up my calorie intake a little bit, mainly because I've been…

Hi TenLaws - you can change your goals to custom percentages on MFP, and it will give you the grams you should be eating of everything! Also, I blog with pictures and recipes of my daily meals! Feel free to friend me :p. (Oh, and welcome, happy to have y ah)

whaddya swap it for? I heard there's yoga video that's shorter that some people get? From another program? Thanks, Amy

Yoga done... I have mixed feelings on this one, I think it's my least favorite, just because it's so long! Waking up at 5:30am vs. 6am makes a pretty big difference in how tired I am... lol. Not looking forward to having to do it more often in the recovering weak. Lifebloom, do you switch anything up diet wise during the…

I follow p90x classic in the mornings exactly as layed out, and then run 3-5 miles on P90X strength days, and swim for 30 - 45 minutes on p90x cardio days.

I think most of us do the same as LifeBloom. Even with no heart rate monitor, I check my heart rate periodically throughout the DVD, -> with 10 sec measurements against the time bar on the video... then you can use an online calculator to figure out about how much you're burning! Arms was hard today... I think chest and…

haha, I've had the most INSANE cravings for cookies for the past few days... so this last time when I was at the grocery store, instead of buying my usual granola to put on my yogurt, I bought one of those mini chocolate chip cookie cereals. It's about the same calorie count actually, and I found a brand with high fiber -…

I have a "door attachment" for my resistance bands... it's basically just a little piece of clothe with a big bump on the end, that slips through the gap between the door and the frame, and then (hopefully) stays in place. I find it works pretty well, especially if I attach it to the top of the door right next to the…

I would make a big heaping plate of veggies - I recommend broccoli as it's pretty high in fiber. You can eat basically an entire head of broccoli for 100 calories, and then about 1/6 of a block of light tofu for the remaining 40 calories. On another note, I know you didn't ask for advice, but Ima be rude and mention this…

Good to hear your still in it! I totally have the armpit fat, it drives me crazy when I wear tank tops or halter tops!! I'm starting to get crazy pecs though. This may be TMI, but I can see the difference from where my pecs stop, and my boobs start. It's kinda weird... Chest and back this morning, and if I do say so…
-
looking good man!!! I bet you'll have the 6 pack soon. I can't wait for my 90 days to be up!!!
-
I've had days where I've ended up negative in net calories!! As everyone else says, if it only happens occasionally, don't sweat it! Protein shake sounds like a fantastic idea. Keep up the great work!! Amy
-
Congratulations everybody, 1 more week is done! And thanks to lifebloomMT for the tips about kenpo last week, I got a much more satisfying workout! Annnnd, my legs are sore from yesterdays workout! Woot! Man, I love these workouts that still get me sore two weeks into the program. How cool is that? How are you all doing on…
-
Did legs and back this morning, I had a hiccup with my exercise bands, I lost the door attachment!!! :(. The leg part of it hurt MUCH less than last time though. I doubt if I'll be sore - next time I guess I have to start adding weights to everything. Gonna have to do ab-ripper tonight after my swim, I ran out of time!!!
-
I feel the same as you this week skinnylizzy! I felt like I was able to push more the first three workouts. (And my arms and abs are def weak / sore!!! Lovin it! I wasn't feeling great last night, so I didn't go for my usual run, and I was pretty gentle with Yoga this morning... used it for its stretching mainly. I'm…

Happy Plyo day everybody!! I'm truly excited by all the enthusiasm in this thread, and really grateful for all our new X'ers!! Plyo went much better for me this morning than last week, did it inside but in the lobby, so I can go all the way through without my computer dying. Can I say though, that all that squat stuff was…
-
That's awesome that your sun has been joining you Syd!! I'm going to try to get my mom to do it with me when I go home in a few months. Did chest and back this morning! I think I managed to push a lot harder than the first time round. I'm curious if I will be sore again? I kinda hope so! AbRipperX still makes me want to…
-
Taking a nice long walk for my day off today, then gonna stretch a bit to be nice to my poor tired leg muscles. I posted my before pictures in my profile... Everybody stoked to start week 2 tomorrow morning?
-
Finished week 1! I can't say I got a lot out of kenpo - I can't figure out what to do to really make it a workout... ohwell! I had a great swim today too. Went grocery shopping today, and man, I don't think it's gonna be possible to get enough protein without a shake or bar of some sort, but all the ones I saw at the store…
-
Just finished legs & back plus ab ripper X... got my pull up situation with the bands sorted a little better, so that's something! I don't think I'll be able to walk tomorrow. And my and feel just destroyed every time I do that workout! Good luck to everyone today! Stick with it! Amy

I don't think its super important you do it in 30DS days, but moving on to new levels will help you with the old levels. It's great to keep changing what you are doing, and pushing your body. If anything I would do it on two rounds of 30 days, the first round doing the modified stuff, the second time doing the hard stuff.…

I went out for an awesome run last night, then KILLED ab ripper X. I did all of the moves the full time, even some of the advanced variations. I dunno, being pumped from the run really helped me. Also weighed myself this morning, and found I'd dropped 1-2 lbs ish since last week, so that's awesome!! I Yoga this morning,…

I should have real internet again tomorrow, and will be up for whatever we decide as far as pictures and stuff. Someplace external to accumulate them sounds great. Then at the end we can do group stats as far as inches lost and weight / bf% lost.
-
So I did arms and shoulders this morning, and I'll do ab ripper tonight! Actually, I liked arms and shoulders best so far of all the exercises!! I love those exercise bands! It's pretty slick, i can feel the sore muscles sorta migrating down my body... whole upper body and abs now, and towards the end of the week we'll get…

Day 2, plyo. Only got half way through, my computer died unfortunately. I'm going to try to finish the second half later, as well as go for a swim. Oh, by the way, my arms and and are killing me!
-
Alright, P90X day 1 done! Had some snafu's getting set up with the stretch bands and keeping up, but overall, not as bad as I feared!Amy (ps, photos and measurements to come when I have internet on my computer)
-
Bout to tuck into bed, getting ready for my 5 am P90X wake-up! See you all tomorrow, let's hit the first day hard people!
-
Wish I had taken measurements but yes, I'm happy with my results. I lost about 8lbs, and I cam see a noticeable difference in muscle definition!
