  • Congratulations! I train for a marathon in the spring/summer and then do P90X and Insanity during the winter. My marathon is this Sunday so I'll start P90X after that - your progress just made me really excited to get started again! Keep going - you'll be amazed at your 60 and 90 day results!

  • I can totally relate! P90X and running have helped my butt tone up and I've lost an inch or two around my hips. I've read on beachbody.com that women tend to like their Brazil Butt Lift instead of the leg workout of P90X. I'm training for a marathon now, but I plan to try the Brazil Butt Lift afterwards. I'm curious to…

  • Are you working out a lot and then not balancing it out with enough protein and (healthy) carbs? You need a little something to eat/drink after a tough workout to refuel your muscles.

  • Sounds like you've got the right idea - time to switch it up! Some ideas: try a treadmill or a stairclimber. Add some weight lifting (maybe some bicep curls to get you started). Try a class. Talk to a trainer. Most gyms offer a free training session. Good luck!

  • Do you have something that you're working out on besides hardwood or carpet? Get those interlocking foam squares - that helped me A LOT with anything jumping related. Otherwise, I agree with the others: modify, modify, modify.

  • I have PCOS too. (My vent: the abnormal periods and the extra hair!) I have never gone on Metformin and I am currently not trying to get pregnant... However, I have found for me that lots of regular exercise and watching what I eat have been extremely helpful. I feel my best when I'm doing the gluten-free thing, avoiding…

  • In the P90X nutrition guide, doesn't it say to estimate burning 600 calories a day on the program? Or maybe you could try looking up kickboxing in the myfitnesspal exercises?

  • Yes! More calories! I don't know what your height and weight are, but 1200 calories a day seems awfully low for someone who is working out regularly. Like previously mentioned, your body is probably "thinking" it's starving and hanging on to whatever it can.
    in Plateau- should I up my calories? Comment by caseyclementson September 2010
  • I use Hammer Whey Protein and mix it with chocolate soymilk and a banana.... or vanilla soymilk and frozen berries. I use it if I'm running late and need to eat on the run or if I know my calorie intake is going to be low for that day and I need a little something extra. Protein drinks are also good if you drink them…
