Why thank you onderchic, and I would be hounered to join the pep squad :D

Jen, are your abs sore or is it painful? If it's painful you might want to see a doctor to be on the safe side. I hope you feel better soon :hug:

Pintobean, I have a lot of The Firm's older workouts and I still really enjoy them. I don't have too many of the newer ones though.

Hooray for Narnia!! :cheer2::cheer:

Thank you, Narnia!!

Now go change your title to 3FC Pep Squad :D :p :hug:

I think you did overly awesome, pintobean :D :cheer3: :hug:

I really don't know what it is. It's my sides where my inner thigh meets my abdomen. I worked out my abdominals today figuring that the pain wasn't getting any better with rest. so why not make them stronger?

Everyone is doing super. I probably will have to exercise earlier tomorrow. I have to get 5 shots. I think that alone will put me in a poor mood.

I did 35 min of DDR.

I used my bean and did weighted donkey kicks, super squats, bridges, inner thigh raise, dynamic lunge, lean back, outer thigh raise (weighted), back raises, scissors for the core, hanging leg raises for the core, reverse curls, the plank, and side plank, super push ups (bean assisted, wide and hands together) and some stretching.

I did it!! woohoo. I 'm not waiting for my side whatevers to get better. I will just have to work that out.

Very nice, Jennifer!!!! :cheer::cheer2:

18--Bike to work and back, about 40 min/13K; 20 min on the rowing machine; 60-min yoga class

Onderchic :cheer2: pintobean :cheer3: jendiet :cheer: nakedmango :cheer2:

my exercise confession: day 4 of p90x.

I did 40 minutes of Yoga X.

it's a 1 and half hour workout, but i stopped after 40 minutes, boy its tough! and i've never done yoga before. it was also hard figuring out what he was doing, when i had my head looking down lol. so i will slowly be able to learn the moves. next time going to start off where i stopped the dvd, and build it up slowly. he was right, you do sweat! its quite a workout!

also i'm just about to order a yoga mat, as doing it on the carpet was uncomfortable.

i feel nice and relaxed now :)

have a super day girls!! Bring it! :cheer3:

Jen, hope your abs feel better.
My quads/inner thighs are hurting as well from couple of the ab/core moves in ab ripper X. My whole core is sore where it hurts to cough and laugh. It will get better.

Thanks Echo and Michelle. Yesterday, it was one of those days where trying to finish my workout was not easy. Even though I realize the importance of exercise in my life I still struggle with it a lot and am hoping that hanging here in the exercise forum will just help me through these type of days.
Tonight - Weight training

Have a wonderful day everyone :)

onderchic Fantastic job as always.. also PM me your address and I will mail you some copies of those 20 min cardios
ECHO YEAH ON YOUR P90X!!!! Tony cracks me up. I cried the first time I did the Yoga I thought it would never stop with the vinyasas but after that 45 min mark its really easy its just stretches and balance poses and some GREAT ab work

Jen You need to get that checked out one week is the mark if it still hurts!!

To every one else I will write later try and keep up with personals later!

Wahoo for Echo, pintobean and devadiva! :cheer2::cheer::cheer3:

30 minutes GGC, 30 minutes free step, 30 minutes MFC, full body w/s :D

I'm tweaking my plan..again

Instead of GGC, I am gonna do 30 minutes TBL Cardio Max.

thanks onderchic! :hug:

awww thanks!!! AWESOME!!! a fellow p90-xer!!! brilliant! :) i am really loving it! its my first week. so i hope i am saying the same next week! but what i love is that every day is DIFFERENT! so you dont get bored. and Tony is totally awesome, i agree he is funny!!


LOL!!! i know tell me about it hahaha

oh really? oh glad to hear it! :)


and wow good on ya for sticking with the p90x the entire week!! :cheer2: :congrat: wow you really worked hard!!! :cheer3:
====

i just ordered my yoga mat!! woohoo ! cant wait till it arrives :)

Keep us updated on how your yoga goes. I have yet to try it but maybe one day I will :D

hehe definately i will! :yoga: i've never done yoga before today either. i like how its meant to be good for your body to stretch it out. i still cant touch my toes when i bend over, but slowly i am getting closer! i've been practising stretching that for over a month now.

you should try it one day!! it's different , more calming and relaxing, but at the same time intense! you can feel the burn!!!

I like what Tony says, that at age 45, he can do what he can with his body, not because he can do so many press ups, but because he does yoga!

There's a yoga section on the Wii Fit and My Fitness Coach..maybe I will try one of those out for a bit :)

awesome! go for it!! :cheer3: :cheer3: let us know how you find it :yoga:

Just finished 30 minutes TBL Cardio Max

way to go Onderchic!! :cheer2:

love the new avator! ;)

i just got back from walking in the garden for 19minutes hehe. i needed to up my number of steps! was listening to an audio book whilst walking so i wasnt bored :book2:

Hehe thanks :D

30 minutes free step done, 3485 steps

I am now off to tackle the new weight/strength program that pintobean so graciously shared with me, wish me luck :D

onderchic - good luck!

well done on the number of steps! :cheer2:

Thanks!


Okay, I have a question. The program is 3 days, full body. I did day 1 which consists of 10 exercises, 3 sets, 10 reps for most but 2. Doing those and a 3 minute jog warm up took me a total of 23 minutes...does that seem right or am I doing something wrong? Should it take longer? :S

Echo
I didn't finish a week I DID THE WHOLE 90 DAYS ( without missing a day} and I did DOUBLES read about those in your p90x book. I have restarted the program and will probably do a HYbrid which means I will do the CLASSIC program and at least 2 -30 to 60 min cardios a day in ADDITION to p 90x program. Iam hooked on ABS so days I do not have ab ripper I do 30 min. of another ab workout. SORRY JUST A BIT PROUD I AM 57 !

Hello,

I did 45 minutes today on my stationary bike, I cut back from 110 minutes as I was told I was overtraining. I was getting ammonia smelling sweat. But tomorrow I will try what they suggested, which is two 45 minute sessions a day, so I don't stress my body. :carrot:

Hi and welcome, IgetfitNStrongforme! :cheer2::cheer: Nice job on the workout and good plan too :). I do 3 - 30 minute cardio workouts for my routine 5 days a week plus 3 days I add full body weight strength :)


Just finished 30 minutes MFC.

Total today = 30 minutes TBL Cardio Max, 30 minutes free step, 30 minutes MFC, full body w/s :carrot:

I'm always curious about others workout regimes. Two questions for you-- what is MFC? And when you say you do 3, 30 minute routines-- how far apart do you do them? (and how do you find the time?). Impressive!!:carrot:
