Mine Just Arrived
 

Just got the DVDs this morning! I'm impressed, since I'm in Canada. I still have to preview the DVDs and read over the booklets. But I am excited!

I eat pretty well already; mostly what I eat is from the top 3 tiers of Michi's Ladder, with the odd splurge with stuff from the bottom tiers. I have to be more consistant with my water (some days I get lots, some days not enough) and I have to really make sure to get in my veggies and fruits.

Right now, I don't think I'd mind being a little sore from a workout. The end result will be worth it. I need to stick with the exercising also. I tend to go for a couple of weeks of doing well and then back on the couch I'm parked:lol:

Well, I'm off to look at those workouts! Maybe I can get one in today too.

Maybe we can cheer each other on in this quest, and any others doing this Power 90?!!!

Bye for now!

Okay Zanne...let me know when you do the Cardio/Abs...I'm anxious to see what you think!!! hahahaHOHOHO (OW...it hurts to laugh....)
Later!

Hi everyone! I'm glad I happened up on this thread. I just recently ordered the "Power Half Hour" tapes...by the same company and people of Power90 but a "reduced" version. I think I read that the guy studied all the tapes and exercises on them for a year and condensed them into this shorter program. This one is for 6 weeks rather than 90 days. I had been wondering if these exercises really worked as well as they're advertised to do and from the posts here, I feel like I've probably chosen a good program to start with. My tapes arent here yet....should be in the next 2 days. I did get aggravated tho. I was so anxious to get them that I didnt pay in two installments, I paid the whole thing upfront, had it automatically debited from my checking account which was supposed to insure their arrival within 10-12 days. Well, it has been over 20 days!! I called twice and finally last nite emailed with a strong complaint. I was shocked that within 5 minutes, I had a reply complete with apology and note that they were sending another set FedEx 2nd day. If they actually did that, I should have them this week for sure. I cant wait! I'll check in after I've done a session or two. :)

Miki

Good Morning
 

Miki!--I've read that the Power Half Hour tapes are a good lead up to the Power 90 program. Bummer that you've had problems receiving your order. I rec'd mine in less than 2 weeks. I did have to email several times to check up on the order, but I always rec'd an email within 12 hours with satisfactory answers. I hope you get your tapes really soon! You, CoachsWife and myself will have started within a few days of each other.

CoachsWife--We just previewed the workouts last night; didn't get a chance to do a workout. I think I'm going to really like this program. It will be difficult, but worth it! I am oh so flabby. Today is the circuit, so I won't be able to let you know what I think of the cardio/abs till tomorrow.


Maybe we can call ourselves the POWER GIRLS. Whadda ya think?

Welcome MikiG!
I am curious about the power half tapes myself. I read about them but decided to choose the power 90 instead, mainly because of their popularity. Keep us updated on how they are!
Zanne, I can't wait to hear what you think of the cardio/abs tape. hahahha I'm tellin' ya, I was ready to jump through the screen and kill Tony...lol.
I think Power girls is a great name! Maybe we can keep each other motivated better, eh!
Gotta run...it's day 3....and not feeling quite as sore today. (Thank goodness!)
Talk soon,
Kristin

Day one Done!
 

Well, I finished the circuit training about an hour ago. WOW! I was quite surprised at how quickly that half hour flew by! I managed to do all the reps for most everything. I did the girl pushups, but I could do them that way. I'll work my way up to the full push up. I don't feel too bad--YET!:lol: I actually feel invigorated.

When I previewed the workouts last night, I thought the circuit would be the more difficult one for me. But we'll see what tomorrow brings with cardio and abs:^:

Bye for now!

Hey Susanne!
Wasn't that great? 30 minutes and you're DONE with day 1! I'll say it again, I can't wait until you try tomorrows'. I'm anxious to see how you like the power yoga!! lol
Keep pushing play!!! I will try to also!
Talk soon,
Kristin

Thanks for the welcome, and I've love to be one of the "Power Girls". I am so hoping that this will be just what I need! I walk alot but I need so much more than just that, and I need a program. I'm not good at just motivating myself without something planned out. My sis is going to do it with me so she'll keep me on track. It'll also help to know I am accountable here too.

Miki

Hey Miki,
Can't wait to hear how the Power half hour works! I can't imagine that it would be a whole lot different than Power 90? They are only about 30 minutes also...wonder what the difference is? Hope you get your tapes soon! Let's POWER UP, girls! ahahahaha
Check in soon,
Kristin

Good Morning Power Girls!
 

I haven't yet done the cardio workout. But this morning I feel a little sore in the shoulders. I was only using little weights too. 3 and 5 pounders. I'll get stonger:strong: I'm hoping the cardio will help stretch out the soreness.

Miki--that's great that your sis will be doing it with you. My DH is supposed to be doing it with me. He came home yesterday and stuff was happening and he didn't get a chance to workout (I had done mine in the morning). Now I'm looking at it as a compitition:s: You'll have to tell us more about the Power Half Hour program! Is there anything you can start doing till your tapes come? Have you browsed the BeachBody site? Lots of info there.

Kristin--I will definately let you know how things went with the cardio! How are you doing with the eating program?

Ok Power Girls! I'm outta here for now.

Hey girlies!
Just checking in...did my day 4 this morning...not as bad as before. (I'm still hating power yoga...GRRR!!!! lol ) Susanne, the only thing I'm really doing as far as my eating goes is I cut out the junk food (I'm a junk food-a-holic...candy, chips, pop, etc.) and I try to just eat until I'm satisfied. I didn't want to start out trying to power exercise and diet all at the same time. I'm the kind of person that will burn out quick doing all that at once.
SO..we will see what happens at day 30, then I'll decide if I need to moderate my eating more.
Well..I'm off to the dentist! Chat soon!!!
CIAO

Holy Smokes!
 

Ok, I just finished the cardio workout! That Power Yoga is REALLY hard!!! So is the ab work. When I previewed the workouts, I thought this would be the easy one. For me doing it, it's the opposite--the weights are easier. That plank into the upright dog is the worst! But we'll get better at this yoga! I love the kickboxing stuff--especially the punches. I have to take it easy with the kicks--I kept hearing my hips "pop". It really is a good workout tho. I really like that there are no silly dance type moves.

I'm finding more and more thru today that I am sore from yesterday's workout. I'll be doing something and my muscles hurt a little. A least I know I worked this body.

I still have to take my "before" pics. Rather, I will have to ask DH to take the pics. Don't have a digital camera, so I feel sorry for the poor person who will have to develop them!

Miki--hope I'm not scaring you off from your program! It sounds awful, but I really have enjoyed the workouts. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours too.

Kristin--I guess I'm 2 days behind you, but at least we're doing the same workout on the same days.

Ok, gotta get moving. My son has an early soccer game.

Talk @ y'all later!

Hey girls!
I was laughing the whole time I was reading your post, Susanne. Mainly because I felt the same way! hhaha. I'll tell you though, Day 2 was the worst for me. I started losing the soreness on Day 3, and now that it's day 4, I only feel a little sore in couple of places. I took my day 1 pics...and they are posted in the power 90 gallery if you want to check them out. My name on there is basically the same...it's ima_coachs_wife on there. I weigh a WHOLE lot more than you do...you will see that when you look at my pics.
Anyhoo, MikiG, can't wait til you get your tapes. Tomorrow, right? Let us know!
Talk to you power girls soon!
Ciao

Grrrrrrrrr...I still havent received my tapes!!:mad: I did walk 4 miles in an hour this morning tho and for 2 of those, I carried a 3 lb weight in each hand. I think I MIGHT possibly finally hit under the 200 mark tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed for me! I've fluctuated between 200.5 and 205 for weeks now but I've really stayed on track this week with exercise and with food so we'll see. I havent been under 200 in YEARS!! I'm getting jealous that ya'll are all getting into your Power90 workout and Im still waiting. I just cant wait to get started. If I dont get them tomorrow, SOMEBODY is gonna wish I had.:lol: (probably my poor family..they're sick of hearing me gripe about it..lol )

Hey Miki!
Hey, I wouldn't be too upset about not getting to start the beachbody stuff yet! FOUR miles in 2 hours?? That's FANTASTIC!! And with weights too...wow...I certainly could NOT do that!!! You should be thrilled!! I can't wait until I get under 200...it's been a LOOOONNGGG time for me too...(ugh). I have a long way to go though. Don't know if you've gotten on the beachbody site, but my pics are posted there. (I did the day 1 pics in the picture gallery...NOT a pretty site!!! EW!)
Just keep doing what you're doing. The exercise you're getting now is still great!
We will still be here when you're tapes arrive (I hope! lol) so hang in there! Power girls rule...hahaha
Ciao for now
