P90X recovery drink alternatives?
Anybody else using a recovery drink that isn't the P90X/Beachbody brands? I'm almost done w/the first week & can't believe how sore I still am. I'd like to start using something afterward for muscle recovery. It's keeping me from doing all the exercises to the fullest because I'm in pain! Especially the Ab Ripper. I looked…

Half marathon, little training...anyone?
I did my first half marathon almost 4 years ago. I only got up to 8-9 miles during my training. Finished it w/no problem & at a decent time (walking & jogging). I remember feeling that if you are in shape & exercise regularly, most anyone could make it through. There is one (locally) that I'd like to sign up for, but it's…

Earthquake in Missouri!
We had an 4.2 mag earthquake here in Missouri last night! Lasted about 5-10 seconds. I remember it waking me up & realizing what it was, but then forgot about it until I got online today. I live in Jefferson County. Anyone else in Missouri or Illinois feel it?

How long before the fat returns?
So I've been slacking, alot, this last month. Busy schedule that has finally slowed down, but unfortunately has been replaced by other stuff. I still get at least 2 workouts in a week. The diet is hurting though. My calorie goal is 1350 cals. My average lately is around 1800. Not too bad, but some are bad cals. I haven't…

Tighten & Tone Group
Hey everyone! How's everyone doing this week? I'm about ready to start Phase3 of P90X. I can't wait to say I'm a grad! I'm so much stronger & can tell a big difference. I'm hoping to lose more inches by the time I finish. My restriction on myself was to not buy ANY clothes until I'm done w/the program. That's getting…

Tighten & Tone Group
What's up peeps?! So sorry I missed last weeks post. I've been so busy & just didn't have time. How is everyone doing? Anymore inches lost? Weight? Struggles? I haven't lost anymore, but haven't gained either (big plus). This is my 100th day logging in to MFP & there is a noticeable difference. But I'm still pretty annoyed…

Tighten & Tone Group - Week 3
Morning everyone! Hope everyone has had a good week. Below are my weekly successes & challenges. Exercise has been good. But took more days off than usual due to busy schedule :frown: I am behind on the P90X (not gonna finish in 90days), but still doing the workouts & keeping track so I know when to start the next phase.…

Anyone ever done hot/heated power yoga?
So a co-worker told me that he takes a yoga class where the room is heated to 110 degrees. He said it's pretty intense, but that it's an amazing experience. Like a de-toxifying & cleansing thing. Even though he almost passed out once, he said he's hooked. At first I thought, "torture", but then suddenly I became intrigued.…

Tighten & Tone Group - Thread 2
Hello everyone! Hope this week has been a good one for you all. I'll have to say that this hasn't been a good week for me. I totally slacked on the food & exercise. I've been so tired & busy lately. The motivation is starting to slack. I keep telling myself that the exercise is a good stress reliever & I need to do it! I'm…

Tighten & Tone Group - Thread 1
A post yesterday suggested we start a group for those who have minimal weight to lose (20lbs or less) & mainly want to tighten & tone their bodies. Here it is! I've been on MFP for 70 days now. I started at 150lbs, with a goal of losing 20. I'm in the first week of Phase 2 on P90X. So far, I've lost 7lbs, 6" off my waist &…

Any other P90X newbie's out there that just started?
I just started the P90X (lean program) workout. I'll be doing day 3 today. I've been working out for over a month & I can't believe I am this sore! Anyone else just start the program for the first time? Feel free to "friend me" if so. I'd love to see how others are doing w/it & keep each other motivated!

Calories burned during P90X workouts
Anyone know how many calories you burn during these workouts? I know everyone is different. I don't have a heart rate monitor & can't find an "average" online anywhere. What do you put down for the exercise in MFP?
-
What's the "healthier" choice?
So, since I started w/MFP, I've been taking a different approach at my dieting. Watching calories yes, but more focused on the "clean eating" instead of just anything. My view so far is - it may be higher in calories, but it's healthier...so that's how I've been eating & so far it's working. I still get flustered &…

Need heart rate monitor help
I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or my heart rate monitor needs to be returned. Whenever I work out, the monitor is only showing like a third of my calories burned. Example: Treadmill shows 300 cals burned, monitor only shows 100. The manufacturer said that I probably don't have the right numbers for…

How to figure out calories burned
Anybody know a good equation to figure out how many calories you've burned? That is, when you don't have a machine telling you (ie. treadmill, elliptical)? Like on workout videos that aren't exercise specific (ex. yoga, step or kickboxing). Some videos mix a little bit of everything in them. And what about walking/jogging…
