One of my friends gave me a different Yoga DVD today to try. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than YogaX. I've not done much yoga so I thought it was always supposed to be as hard as YogaX. Guess not! I may never do YogaX again! :laugh:

Anything by Polar is stellar (they have a great warranty procedure so make sure you register your product). Whatever you buy, make sure it has a chest strap, otherwise it is pretty much useless.

Patty - I think I lost an inch from my waist and hips each in Phase 1. I am doing my second round of measurements this Sunday. I have only lost 5 pounds on the scale but my clothes are starting to fit better. From what I have read on the beachbody forums, p90x is designed for your body peak in results during Phase 3 (or…

Yeah, I agree 4 months is not much time. It really does take the body a while to readjust after pregnancy, think of the ordeal you just put your body through! It is also important that mommy is getting enough rest. :wink: Weight loss is much harder if your body is not well rested. I am 15 months post-partum, gained 50…

I believe in interval training along with changing things up often to keep the body guessing and not getting too "used" to one thing.

I slept hard last night and still could not find the energy to get up and work out this morning. I opted to take today as rest but I did work hard around the house - vacuumed, mopped, cleaned windows and washed the curtains. I am going to push my schedule back one day and will be doing Kenpo tomorrow morning. I think I…

I am really looking forward to trying this, am probably going to order it later this month!

I am currently in Week 8 of p90x and am considering purchasing Turbo Fire to stack with it in a second round of p90x starting in August!

Core Synergistics done. I was really spent during my workout today. I think I am still sore from Legs & Back and Ab Ripper last Friday! My abs just felt worn out and I had a hard time making it through the workout but I did it and did at least the same number of reps for all exercises as last week. I still haven't tried…

p90x is designed so that you peak in phase 3. You should begin to see a bigger transformation in your body during the last 4 weeks of training. Good luck!

Ditto. Sometimes I eat half a banana before my workout (I am doing p90x), it depends what my schedule is. When I used to run, I did it on an empty stomach, if I had eaten recently I always got side stitches.

I agree completely. Go by your clothes, not the scale. :smile:

I've had a Tanita digital scale for about 6 years and it still works great, it is very reliable and never gives me a different weight no matter how many times I hop on and off!

Hi Patty, glad you joined us. :smile: I don't think it matters much if you switched the days. Dropping Yoga completely would be a mistake though. This is week 8 for me, which means Recovery Week! Time is flying by. Today was Yoga. Looking forward to Core Syn tomorrow, I like that workout. :bigsmile:

I generally am eating between 1700 and 2000 calories per day. I just finished Week 7 and have lost 5 pounds so far (I am doing Lean). Do you not have a HRM? My calorie burn is usually between 350 and 550, depending on the workout. Feel free to join our p90x thread here:…

I turned the beeping off because it drove me bananas. The arrow pointing down means you are over your target HR.

I just finished week 7 and LOVE it. I am about 30 pounds overweight and am making it through ok. It IS hard but a lot of it is getting over the mental difficulty (just being open to trying certain exercises instead of thinking, "Oh i can't do that ..."). I will probably do a second round when I am finished because I know I…

Wow, happy 18th to the girl! Time flies so fast, doesn't it!

KenpoX done! Looking forward to rest until Monday and Recovery Week!

Me too, I am hoping the power band makes a bigger difference. I do great on pushups but I've never been able to do a single unassisted pushup! :tongue:

Are you using a chair, Jill?

My sports bras are all underwires, so I have to wear it below the band. And having the band super tight is key.

Legs & Back completed! Ab Ripper X completed! Holy cow, that was tough. That's the first time I've completed both DVDs back-to-back. 555 calories burned! I ordered some power bands for assisted pullups yesterday (you can watch how they work in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw3FnkqViKo). I ordered from…

No, I can't do it either! :laugh:

Cardio X has some Yoga, some Plyo and some Core Synergistics moves in it. I like it but agree it is a lot more mellow compared to Plyo. Yoga for me today. I always feel better when I am done (I was pretty sore today from all those pushups) but I don't really enjoy it while I am doing it. Actually, I like the balance moves…

Chest, Shoulders and Triceps done. I am going to do Ab Ripper a little later today.

I saw an ad on Craigslist from a personal trainer advertising p90x training - guess they see the business opportunity in your idea! :wink: http://littlerock.craigslist.org/hab/1761048872.html

mommy - your results are SO impressive! You are really BRINGING IT! Iceprincess - that sounds like a really icky experience, I hope it is nothing more than temporary anemia. Keep us posted!

CardioX done. Where is everyone!? :flowerforyou:

Hi ladies, I am back from our family trip. Had a great time. I got in 3 workouts last week so I am going to just keep on moving and not do week 6 over. Had a great Core Syn workout this morning. My weight is up a bit this morning but I am also finishing up my period (first since going off the pill, ugh, it's brutal). Hope…
