Hi everyone:wave:!

I haven't gotten my power 90 program yet. I just ordered it so I'm patiently awaiting its arrival. Once I get it I'll post more often but right now I'm just enjoying the posts and how you all are doing. It's very encouraging to read how successful this program is for you.:)

Angel-I posted a reply to you on the Oxycise thread too:). It seems like we are following similar programs. Spark, Oxycise and Power 90. I know Power 90 also has a stretching segment so it should work great with the Spark program.

Fran-You are doing great too. By the way can you clear something up for me about the Power 90 aerobic tape? It is some stretching and then some like Tae Bo moves and some other form of aerobics or does he mix all the moves up? What I'm asking I guess is can you do the stretching part and then do the other parts later? I'm just trying to see how to fit this in with my Spark program. Thanks for your help.:)

Fran M 05-16-2001 08:54 PM

Hey Ras,
I am glad to hear that you will be purchasing the Power 90. It is hard but if you are really determined to complete the 90 days, you will make it work for you.
To answer your question, the cardo tape has various exercises on it. it has power yoga, kick boxing and aerobics. From what I understand, you have to complete the tape BUT go at your own pace and take it easy in the beginning. The idea is not to burn out to fast or you won't complete the 90 days.
Hope this helps!
Fran:):):)

ras8779 05-17-2001 10:41 AM

Fran-Thanks so much for the information:D! That helped me out a bunch. I'm very excited about this program. But I really believe it works if you do it. I also agree that I shouldn't do too much too fast or I will burn out. How long did it take for you to get your videos once you ordered the program? I'm so excited. I want them now:)! You've been doing great on the program. Are you noticing a change in your appearance? Do your clothes fit differently? That's how I can always tell when something is working. Thanks again for you help:)!

Where did all the Power 90 people go? This thread was jumping for a while. I hope it's working for everyone else.

Fran M 05-20-2001 10:28 AM

Week 3 coming up!
 
Helo all,
Where have you been? I am heading towards week 3 and in the passed 2 weeks I have lost 3.2 pounds and slowly am feeling toner.
How is everone else doing?

:):):)

Angel26519 05-21-2001 05:50 PM

Hey All!!!!

I hope everyone is doing good... I have had computer problems for a few days but hopefully that is over....

Anyway...been doing the program about 4-5days a week... would like to get up to every 6-7 days but have been so busy....

Kids out of school this thursday and they go to florida in June until August... I cant wait... I need a break... I know there are tons of single moms out there and I have been one for 12 years... but I now have 2 teenagers in my house (13 & 15) and they are wearing me out.... I want to scream timeout all the time....

The puppies I found 7 weeks ago are already over 20# each... they are going to be huge before this is over I just know it... they are good for me though... been walking them all around the neighborhood once a day (1 1/2 miles) and then part way around another time a day... so that is something....

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing good and that we can get this going again....

WWGAL.... what did the doctor say when you went?

Fran - You sound like you are doing great... are you on level III/IV yet? I am not... not sure when I should go to it....

Ras...let us know when you get yours...maybe we can do a challenge of some sort to motivate each other...

Talk to you soon...

wwgal 05-22-2001 02:13 PM

hi
 
Hi everyone,

well the news from the doctor was not good. I have fluid in my knee, ligament and knee cap
damage. I just had am MRI done and i go back to the doctor next week. I have not been
doing the cardo tape but i have been doing the sculpting tape minus the parts that hurt
my knee.

MissThing 05-22-2001 03:27 PM

Err....
 
Clarification of exactly what "Power 90" is would be great. There are newbies afoot, hoping to understand and learn and gather some good info.

(Wild guess would be that it is some kind of plan which involves some high intensity working out for 90 minutes? Or possibly a 90 day plan of some kind?)

I remain,

Miss Thing

Fran M 05-22-2001 07:02 PM

Power 90ing away!!
 
Hey everyone! How are we all doing?
Well, update, i am on Day 16 and feeling wonderful!! My stomache has actual cuts in them and my hips have gone down. i am loving this program! I might be a size 6 hopefully soon!!

Angel- How are you doing? Are you following the program? I am on Phase 1/2 for the circuit. I have a weak upper body but am looking to change that. The cardio i am 3/4. I was doing alot of Tae Bo before i purchased the tapes. Keep it up!!

Ras- Did you get your Power 90 yet?

WW gal- I hope you feel better. Take everything one step at a time.

Miss Thang- Power 90 is a program that involves working out with weights and cardio 6 days a week. It is an intencse program BUT you do see results as long as you are dedicated. That means not skipping days. I love this program because there are no gimmicks here just working out and watching your food intake. They recommend supplements but that is optional!! I hope this is helpful!!

Bye all,
Fran:):):)

Angel26519 05-22-2001 09:42 PM

What is Power 90?
 
Hey Miss Thing... you wanted some clarification on what power 90 is... it is a tape program that they are doing on infomercials right now (or you can get on the web).... Basically you get six tapes.... 2 curcuit training... using light weights and 2 cardio tapes and 2 ab workout tapes....you have a beginner and an advanced of each... you work out for about 30-40 minutes a day 6 days a week... there is no gimmick... you workout... you lose weight and inches....

I really like it!!!!! it is very straight forward... he is very concise in telling you what to do and how to do it...

look it up on the web if you would like.... I think the web site is www.beachbody.com if not let me know and i will try to find it...

WWGal... I hope the knee thing gets better soon... I know how painful that can be... my grandmother had 5 different operations through the years on that.... just know we miss you :)....

Fran - you sound like you are doing great.... I wish I was as diligent... I am working out about 4-5 times a week....although the working out isnt as hard for me as the eating thing and really I only have a problem with that at night when I am tired... read somewhere that we go towards food when we are tired thinking that will give us energy and it wont... a nap would be better..... trying to remember that... Are you following a special eating plan? Are you following the dieting plan that came with Power 90? Also are you taking the supplements?

Rose- let us know when you get yours and maybe we can do a challenge of some sort... although it doesnt sound like Fran needs it.......

Miss Thing maybe you would like to join us... see if you like it... It is a great thing and we would like the company....

ras8779 05-23-2001 03:04 PM

Hi Everyone:wave:!

Finally some time to post! I've been so busy I've had no time to even check on how you all are doing:(!

Miss Thing-Yes check the website out or try www.power90.com that one works too. I think this looks like a great program although you have to put the time in to get the results. It's an at home "bootcamp" and I ordered mine but have not received it yet. I hope you will join us!

Angel-Once I get mine I would love to do a challenge. It sounds like a great idea:)! I'm a single parent of a 17 year old so boy do I hear you! He's into sports and much of my time is spent taking him to and from practices. But summer is right around the corner so maybe I'll be able to get a few more workouts in:)! It sounds like we have allot in common.

Fran-WOW! I'm jealous!;) I still haven't gotten mine yet and I called them this morning and they said due to a large demand my shipment was delayed for at least another week:mad:! It's great to hear you are getting such great results. Are you following the eating program too or are you just doing the workouts?

wwgal-I'm so sorry to hear about your knee:(! Make sure you take good care of yourself and don't hurt it further. Just doing part of this program can't help but beneficial:)! So hang in there.

Okay I have tons of work to do so I'm out of here for now. Take care everybody:D!

Fran M 05-23-2001 05:55 PM

Hi All!
 
Okay now this place is jumping!! Iam glad to hear from you all.

Ras and Angel- I am following WW. I have lost 43 pounds so i am looking to tone up. I have about 8 pounds to goal. i eat what I want by following the points. I stick to low cal foods and plenty of water, veggies, and fruits. I do have my once a week meal of choice especially since Friday is my birthday!!

Ras- I hope you get your program. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't received it. In due time. I just can't believe that there is a high demand for it. I guess that is good.

Okay off now to rest finished circuit.

Fran:):):)

Angel26519 05-23-2001 07:23 PM

Hey Fran - WOW What a weight lose... Way To Go!!!!! I am also on Weight Watchers only I am not having as much success.... I am not so diligent I am afraid... I am going to try real hard though....

My kids have their last day of school tomorrow.... they get to go to florida in June for about 6 weeks.... I cant wait... get some me time in... single mom also....

Happy Birthday Fran... I hope you have a great one....

Rose I hope you get your program soon...

Miss Thing I hope you join us.....

We miss you WWGAL..... I hope you get better soon....

Fran M 05-28-2001 08:10 PM

Hi all,
How was everyone's memorial day weekend? It rained all week in Ny so that was depressing.
Power 90 going well? How about everyone else? i am on Day 21 and finally on Level3/4 in both programs. This is not eay but I can't stop now.

Angel- How are you? Are you following on program? Give yourself one ay at a time. I tried WW 10 times before I got it right. This last time I vowed this would be it. Hang on!!

Ras- Did you get it? I am getting impatient for you!!:)

WWgal- How are you feeling?

See ya- Keep the thread going!!

Fran:):):)

Angel26519 05-29-2001 08:28 PM

Hey All!!! I hope the Memorial Day Weekend went great... mine was quiet... saw 2 movies.... Shrek and Pearl Harbor.... I enjoyed them both....

Power 90 not doing so well for me right now... been doing too much else. But I am determined to start back tomorrow am... I was doing real good when I did it first thing in the morning....

Fran- Thats great that you are on level 3/4... how are the inches coming off?

WWGAL- I hope you are feeling good.

Rose- Are you ready for the challenge yet? Let me know...

On the up side even though I havent been doing Power 90 I have been walking the puppies around the neighborhood (1 1/2 miles) once or twice a day so I am getting some workout.

Hope all is well... Let me know when we are ready for the challenge....

ras8779 06-01-2001 06:00 PM

Hi everyone:wave:!

Sorry I haven't been around much but I've had bronchitis and just don't feel like doing a thing:mad:! I've been coughing and sleeping most of the time. I did get my Power 90 but haven't opened it yet. Still dealing with this illness. I hope to get back to full swing soon and then I'll be ready for a challenge. You are doing great everybody:D!

CBC 06-02-2001 09:41 AM

Finally!!
 
Hi Ladies,

My Power 90 program finally arrived!!!

I started it this morning with the Circuit video. I did get thru the entire video but I couldn't do the dips using the chair and I didn't do as many reps as the video, but I did finish the whole thing - and it was tough! Can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store with the Cardio & Ab videos. Abs are the toughest area for me. Wish me luck :^:

Also, if anyone has any tips or advice I'd really appreciate it.

CBC

Angel26519 06-03-2001 08:52 AM

Hey All!!!!

Rose I am so sorry to hear that you are sick... I hope you feel better soon.....

CBC - YEAH!!!!! Someone else to go through this with... I am so happy... I know what you mean abou the first time being challenging but I think the beauty of this program is he does tell you to go at your own pace...

I am starting over today... I just finished walking the puppies and I am about to go do the Curcuit Tape...

I am putting myself on a 2 week challenge.... I am going to try to be very diligent for the next 2 weeks on what I eat... exercising at least 3 times a day.... (only 10 minutes required on 2 of them and doing Power 90 in the morning) and see where I end up.... I took all my measurements first thing this morning... Pray for me!!!!

I hope everyone has a great week....

Talk to you soon.
