P90X Starts today!

Original post by Jennielee15

I started P90x today! I took the fit test and beginning measurements/pictures on Saturday. I'm not as out of shape as I thought! The only thing I couldn't do were the pullups but they say that is typical! So, today is the first day of the diet and exercise. So far so good! Got up at 5:30am to do the first workout tape, ate my breakfast and packed my lunch and snacks for the day? So excited and ready for everything! Wish me luck! My b-pics are 9 weeks away so I will be just starting the third phase of the program. Hopefully I will look amazing already! Here's hoping!

I'm so excited to hear alot of good things about this! And to know alot of you have seen results without following the diet portion makes me think that with me following it to a tee my results should be amazing! I'm going to be a rock star with this workout and crush it!

Im going to get back into it today, just not the diet.

I think Im doing the Classic program, so today is Chest and Back

What program is everyone else doing? Which worksout did you do today?

I'm doing the typical. So chest/back and abs. I couldn't keep up with the ab workout but did good with the other. Good luck girls! Lets keep each other motivated! We will make it the full 90 days!



I'm doing the lean program. FH is doing the classic. I don't want bulky muscles just long lean and toned

Is that what the lean program means? I thought it just meant it had a bit more cardio. Hmmm... I don't want bulk either...



the lean has more cardio and core-related excercies...also focusing on different body parts differently...like Classic has chest and back for the first part whereas lean has shoulders and arms...it just a leaner version of the classic

Thanks, I think I'll stick to the classic and then do the lean directly after till the wedding! I want toned arms and a flat stomach for my wedding and honeymoon!

I don't have the Insanity, but what I can say about P90X is that he tells you to take your time with each exercise, and set a goal, so it's not like if you can't do 30 reps you're a loser... Make sure to write down how many you do each time, then the next time set a goal and see if you can meet / exeed it. If not, no biggie.

I found that to be a huge help in not getting discouraged. I will feel mad that I didn't do as many as they did, then I'll look at my chart and realize I did 8 more than the last time, so I'm actually making progress not failing at anything.

I pomised myself that even if I don't make it through the whole video I'll just write it down and try harder next time it comes around, but I'll always start the stupid thing.

Good luck ladies, we should all post our before and after pics!

I'm actually fine today. I feel like I didn't get enough out of the plyometrics because I was worried about making too much noise jumping around! I did del some pain when going up and down stairs today.

Re: P90X Starts today!

Today was much better! FH went in to work late and I still got up to work out even though he was still in bed! my legs are a bit sore from yesterday, yeah! I do however need to buy some 8lb weights. Sometimes the 5 was too light but the 10 was too heavy! Dangit!

Re: P90X Starts today!

Nice! I wish I was disciplined enough to do morning workouts - I keep skipping workouts on days like yesterday when I have wedding stuff to do after work..

Oh and when I do Plyometrics (which I like to call 'Die'ometrics), I pretty much have to do it in the next room b/c my fat a$s makes the DVD skip!!!
