I'm new, hope you don't mind me intruding on your thread. just started p90x yesterday, and I've loved my first two workouts! My friends have had great results. I really hope I can stick with it. .it sure is a butt kicker.
Ashley- I bought mine brand new on ebay for 60 some odd dollars. they have lots of good prices and a lot with free shipping also. I wanted a new set...not a burnt copy and I knew if I spent the money I would do it.
with that being said I absolutely am in love with P90X... was hoping for faster weight loss but that's ok...it wil come eventually. I am definitely losing fat though, my back rolls are disappearing(almost completely gone), and I feel sooo much stronger.
Tonight is arms and shoulders and of course the dreaded ab ripper x, good thing that ones only 16 minutes LOL.
Blcarter, I'm so glad you are loving it!!! I still love it even though I haven't done ONE video in about 2 weeks! I'm seriously getting distracted with this new guy in my life and I've really let it affect my work out schedule. Need to get back on it!!
Ok well I did plyometrics last night.. I didn't even stop the dvd for extra long breaks like I had to the first two weeks... Woohoo.. I have a love hate relationship with that workout... I hate strating it but once I am done... I love it....
Don't get discouraged Blcarter.. Liek you said you are getting stronger and I bet your inches lost will be pretty compared to weight loss which I would take any day... I totally agree I love this workout program so much....
Are you all following the meal plan as well??? I am eating about 1500 calories a day a trying to not eat more than one or two carbs a day.. So I am following what the meal plan says but substituted my own food.. Like fruits and veggies and lots of lean meat... Trying to eat less carbs and I switched to whole grains for everything like bread pasta and rice... One day a week I eat a sandwich and some baked lays maybe a soda but not every week (that's my cheat meal)
OK well shoulders and arms tonight and oh yes the ab ripper x I can do much more of this workout than I did the first week so I am totally happy about that...
My ultimate goal is to do one real pull-up.. will let you know once I reach that goal!!!!
Have a good day ladies!!!
Tonight is Yoga!! Woohoo
Tracy- I have been following the South Beach Diet type program which coincidently(because its for life) is pretty much exactly the same thing as the Nutrition plan in the P90X program. But I've been doing that for so long that its like second nature. Although lately I've been having more cheat snacks then normal so I need to cut that out!
Day 18 almost done...that leaves 72 more to go!
I have gotten seriously off track. There was a Packer game on Saturday, and I ate a bunch of junk and drank too much beer while watching it. Then they won, so we had to go out and celebrate afterward. Then on Sunday I made cupcakes for people at work, and of course ate some, and then ate them Monday when I brought them into work.
And now I've been sidelined. I've got chest pressure and difficulty breathing, but no regular cold symptoms. I'm hoping it's just a wimpy virus, but as of right now exercising of any type is out of the question. I'm bummed. Hopefully I can kick it soon and get back to the X.
Don't worry Blcarter you will get results soon enough... But I totally get it's a bummer but think about the inches loss instead of the number on the scale...
Did shoulders and arms and abs... can't wait for phase 2 to see how challenging that will be!!!!
only 10 days to go and then 30 day results....
Today is Kenpo X and then tomorrow is the end of week 3.
Tracyo- I'm not letting it get me down enough to quit doing it. It makes me feel sooo much stronger and energized!
Can't wait to see our 30 day results and see how Phase 2 treats us
Glad to hear it Blcarter!!!
I have kempo tonight and then rest and recovery week... Why do I have a feeling that I won't be resting all that much next week... LOL Looks like a lot of core work... Haven't done cardio or core yet so pretty scared...
OK Have a good weekend ladies.. I am going on a road trip Saturday and debating about going or not to my fav chinese place....
