I've defintely noticed "Natally" taking breaks and easing out of proper form when Jillian and the cameras are not looking....It always makes me feel better about myself, I think if that extremely fit women needs a break then I am not doing so bad. This is my 3rd round of 30 DS Shred and although Jillian does get on my last…

You can add me! I have been on MFP four a couple of years but have been very sporatic lately. Today I have decided to be more dedicated...we can do this together.

I started walking in Sept 2010 and soon (around 2 months) began running, my body just naturally wanted to go faster. I have since run two half marathons and several 5Ks and 10Ks. I still love walking and do it regularly. I run at least 5 times a week and try to walk at least 3 miles at least once a week. I have also done…

I'm doing a hybrid of P90X and running but also I've taken up swimming because I am doing a Tri in May. Swimming is very difficult for me right now because I am just starting but I hope it will get me out of this weight loss plateau I've been in for months.

I agree, this works best!

I am so excited about this group! I have done challenges before and have really enjoyed them and had success with them. This challenge comes just in time for summer! I too have a vacation to the beach over Memorial Day Weekend so this is right up my alley! Thanks for doing this! SW - 182 CW - 158 GW - 150 By Memorial Day…

I'm in! I've been on MFP for more than a year now and my weight loss has stalled.

I have run two halfs and several 10Ks and have always used my Ipod. I use it during training too but I rarely run on the street, I am usually on a track, treadmill or running path. During races I keep the volume lower because I like to hear the spectators and the races I have run usually have live bands on the course and I…

I'm 41 and even though I have been on and off a diet and a workout routine of some sort my entire adult life. I really hit it hard a month after I turned 40. I am now in the best shape of my life and about to run my second 1/2 marathon on Saturday. Please feel free to add me....I like having people my age as My Fitness…

I have run several 5Ks, 10Ks and even a half marathon and I would defintiely work on distance before speed. As your race gets closer and you have conquered the distance, then you should work on speed by doing interval training. You can google Interval training and find tons of plans on the internet. The question about the…

I just did my first half on Jan. 23 and the most I had run was two weeks before 11.5 miles. I did do short runs 3-4 times per week, usually 3.5 - 5 miles and then my long runs on Friday. I wouldn't reccomend anything longer than 5 miles as you get closer to your race. Tapper and drink lots of water 2 -3 days before.

I did 2 a days for three months while I was training for my marathon. I did P90X in the morning and ran after work. I did long runs on Fri (8+ miles), which was my Yoga day for P90X. It worked well for me. I took about a 3 week break and cut back to only running after I finished P90X. Now that my marathon is over, I'm back…

I am going to finish up my training and tappering for my marathon. I will do some of the strength training DVDs, like Legs and Back and Shoulders and Arms. After my marathon in mid January, I plan on starting P90X-2. I've gotta secure the abs by the Spring!

I got in a little over 4 miles today. Tomorrow is my long run day, my goal is 9.5 miles. I've been feeling so good on the track that I should be able to do it. I run my long runs on the High School track for two reasons....1. I am a chicken when it comes to street running, I live in a big city so it can be dangerous. 2. I…

Hello Team X, I did Chest and Back today and then I ran a couple of miles on the treadmill. My push-up numbers are improving which is great considering how much I dislike doing them, I never realized how many different ways you could do a push-up. Running 100 miles in Novemebr is going to be the death of me!!! :sad: What…

I got in a 4.25 mile in last night so that makes 21 miles for the week for me. This will be a huge challenge for me since I am also doing P90X (I'm in my 9th week) and I don't usually have 3 hours to workout. I am going to try to do better this week. I did not have a run ticker because I could never get it to work. Keep…

Hell Team X!!! I think a lot of us were out of commission this weekend, myself included. I did run 9 miles on Fri (YAY ME!) and then got Yoga X in later that evening. Saturday was a bust for me, was feeling terrible all day (Allergy season here in South Texas) and needless to say after my son's swim meet I came home and…

Well I did it I got all 9 MILES in so happy with myself!! I was a little worried around mile 3 but then I hit a good stride and I was gone!! So far I have accumulated 16.5 miles since Nov 1. I'll do a some over the weekend and I should be right on target for starting a new week on Tues. Alice - Thanks for doing this....it…

I did 3.5 miles today, so far this week I have accumulated 8.5 miles. Tomorrow is my long run day, 9 miles but I have been really under in calories this week so I am worried that I won't have enough gas in the tank to do it all...we shall see.

Hello Team X, I did Shoulders and Arms today and loved it. I really enjoyed lifting weights instead of jumping around like a crazy fool in Plyo. I went for a 3.5 mile run before hand so I was up for working out my upper body tonight. I can not believe this is day 60! WOW! Drew & Jay your progress pics are incredible! I am…

Hello Team X, I did Plyo today...I have been very, very soar the last couple of days and I'm not really sure why. I did Legs and Back on Monday and Chest and Back on Tues and then went out trick or treating with the boys (walked a lot while holding the leash of an unruly dog) so it could have been any of those things...so…

Good Job Miss Fit!

Make sure you do a warm up walk before you start running and strength training helps a lot with overall running. If you just started a month ago, I say you are doing awesome just be patient don't push to hard because that can lead to injury.

Hello Tema X, I have decided that I am going to finish up Phase 3 doing the Classic Version of P90X instead of the Lean Version which I had been doing. I am already replacing Cardio X with Plyo and I could use the extra ARX. The Lean Version only has me doing ARX twice a week but Classic is 3 times per week. I also took a…

Hello Team X!! Sorry I have not checked in for three days....completely unlike me but I have been extremely busy...I have been working out though. Friday morning I ran 8.5 miles!!! I did not get to Stretch X on Friday but I did get in Yoga X on Satruday. I took Sunday off...way too tired from well.....:drinker: Today I had…

I'm also running a 1/2 marathon in January. I'm in!

Hello Team X, I just want to check in quickly as I am off to dinner with friends...I completed Core Synergystics today and I felt pretty awesome after wards....those push-ups are comming along nicely...even the prison push-ups, geez I hope I won't ever need those. :bigsmile: I even got in a tiny little baby run (1 1/2…

Hello Team X!!!! I did about 35 minutes of Yoga X ....I was really getting into it but I ran out of time had to run and get my son from school. We go directly to swim practice after school, in fact, my son changes and eats a snack on the way in the car. While he is at swim practice I have 2 hours to kill so I run to a near…

Hello Team X, Had a great short run today...I was really flying...came home and did XStretch. It felt so good...is it just me or does XStretch and even Yoga make anyone else sleepy?? I find myself yawning and just wanting to collapse on the map and sleep...maybe it's the deep breathing:yawn: Wendy-I am training for a half…
