Good Morning All!
Recovery week is in full swing...Instead of doing Yoga yesterday as outlined, I switched it around with Core Syn instead, for yesterday only. I plan on doing Yoga tonight in place of Core Syn. For whatever reason last evening I felt like "jumping" around a little bit more Yoga calls for. Hence the reason for the swtich. Nikkismom: You go girl! Bringing it big time with Kenpo and Legs/Back. What brand/flavour of Recovery drink are you using? I'm looking for something more "citris-ey", since I love orange and lemon juice, I'd like a recovery drink more along these flavours. And speaking of drinks/shakes: I saw in the Walmart flyer for my area last night, they have on special two 950g containers of Whey protein for $44.00...pretty good deal. I plan on checking this sale out. Magama: Can't wait to see your 90 day pics if you're planning on showing them! ![]() Rcagle: How do you find the Crack the Fat Loss Code program? Is it working well? Kajun: that is so awesome that you are teaming up with the owner of the training facility. All the best to you in that endeavour! You are so committed to health and fitness, this whole deal is right up your alley! Your daughter's first recital...aww..so glad she did an awesome job. Those are one of those firsts one always remembers. I'm sure you were beaming with pride just watching her. Question for you: Since I'm plannning on Doubles this round,(starting next week in phase 2), I was thinking of doing Turbo Jam Cardio party instead of Cardio X - what do you think? Or should I just stick with Cardio X as outlined by the program. I'm usually not one to deviate from the way a program is laid out but I thought doing Turbo Jam as my extra cardio for Doubles might be fun. Of course doing Cardio X will work for me just fine also. But I"m wondering what your opinion is on that? Cheers!

OK, I tried twice to take pictures and both times was not satisfied with what I saw. So, in lieu of pictures, for my 90 day graduation, I am giving report.
I lost 15 pounds, went down one size in clothes, feel better and stronger. I had pain in my knee when I started P90X; the pain in my knee is gone. My hip still bothers me sometimes going up the stairs but not as much as it did before. The last couple of weeks, I really haven't 'brought it' the way I did early on and I'm sure that has something to do with the results I am seeing. I know this program works; I've seen good results. To get great results, I have to bring it and get my WOE in check again. On to Round 2 - I'll be going Classic for this round.

DH & I are both in pretty pathetic shape right now - I'm about 200 lbs and he's closing in on 300 lbs. I used to walk/run a little over 4 miles a day (took me an hour), but 'life' has gotten in the way the past few months and it's been a while since I've exercised consistently; he does no exercise whatsoever. Basically we're at square one as far as exercise goes, especially when it comes to weight training, but we are ready to commit to getting into shape, and we've heard good things about P90X. Do you all think it's a place to start for beginners, or do we need to get into better shape first?
thanks! |

Jennifer - Start with P90 first. In fact, I am rejoining this thread after a hiatus (I was extremely busy, but I also had some excuses that kept me from working out). I have both DVD sets and there is a big difference between P90 and P90XI just restarted tonight as opposed to jumping back into P90X. The X really does stand for extreme.
I lost about 30 lbs once adding the P90 workout routine in. When I started, I actually had to pause the stretching routine because I was out of breath! It does not take long to adapt, but I would highly recommend the P90. It is cheaper and a great gateway into the P90X world. In fact, I plan to stay on P90 for a couple of weeks to make sure I am ready to handle P90X. What are the opinions of the vets of P90X in here? By the way, I'm back!

Hi All!
Male - 39 years young Starting weight: 216 Just started P90X on 18 May. Have lost 7 lbs since then. Only problems I have is chest and back. My numbers actually dropped since the first workout. I did the first chest and back workout like on Wed. because of not having the equipment on Monday the 18th. Maybe I wasn't healed from the workout or something? |

Hey X'ers,
Yesterday I ran for 60 minutes on the TM, DD1 was watching movies in the theatre room a.k.a. my work-out room and I did not want to disturb her. She's finally getting some relaxing time after her finals, she has 2 more semesters before she graduates as a RN; been in the medical field all her teenage and adult life, EMT & medic in the Army. I'm struggling to make myself work-out right now, as much as I love it, my mind has already checked-out for post surgery recovery. Just 3 more days and it can have its' way, haha. H2O - I had been on Nutrisystem before I started CFLC the beginning of CE Phase II, I did not lose any weight, but did see the greatest number of inches lost. It's an 8 week program w/maintenance. You get "carb-up / cheat" days and I did not take them therefore I'm afraid my body has plateaued w/food b/c I'm not seeing minimal results. Her new book Conquer FLC, is similar but incorporates exercise at different times of the day, some a.m.'s (cardio) but every evening (weights). I'll just stick to the diet until the 4 weeks are up then start w/doubles, like what you are doing. TJ, HHA and TM. On this site the ladies tell you not to get on the scales, just go by the way your clothes fit. I try, but every once in a while I'll jump on the scale. It would be disappointing if I was not going down in sizes, I bought a pair of size 26 jeans last week and size 2 yesterday. I don't like to think about weighing 142 lb, but I'll take the skinny jeans ![]() Jennifer - You might want to try ChaLEAN Extreme before P90X. It's weights, cardio, intervals, very similar to P90X. I lost 14.5" during the 90 days and it was the perfect preparation for X. I also incorporate Turbo Jam, Turbo Kick, Turbo Core & Hip Hop Abs. Good-luck. I forgot who was asking about the recovery drink, I bought Creatine, $15 and L-Glutamine <$10 from Walmart. 1 scoop Creatine, 1 tsp. Glutamine and 1/3 scoop pp for a 3:1 carb to protein ratio. It taste like fruit punch. Okay, I better get ready for work. Who scheduled a staff meeting on my day off?? haha.

So glad you'll be doing Doubles too! My big question with doing Doubles is if I'll need to up my calories to offset the extra cardio. For the past three months or so, I've been staying in the 1800+ calorie range and it has been working well for me and I'm comfortable with that. I don't know how I could possibly fit any more food into my daily schedule as I'm already eating every couple of hours.Quote:
Welcome back Huff!! ![]() Welcome to the thread Jennifer and Bamm! It's awesome that you're giving P90X a go too! Congrats on the 7lbs weight loss. When you say your numbers dropped since doing Chest/Back what do you mean? Do you mean you're doing less reps?Jennifer I would also recommend that you start with P90 if you haven't really been working out already to begin with. I think it's probably a good way to prepare for the X. Kenpo tonight baby!!! Last edited by H20Goddess; 05-26-2009 at 06:35 AM.. |

Good morning
![]() Recovery Formula - I have been using Endurox R4, half servings. It really helps. Please beware of the creatine ladies, it causes water retention of the muscles and therefore weight gain. For this reason I have elimiated it except for what is in the recovery formula. Also note that the dosage in the recovery formula in MUCH less than straight creatine. The recovery formulas only have about 500mgs so a half of serving is 250mg. One teaspoon of powdered creatine is 5 grams. L-Gluatmine is a really good supplement, I use it in addition to the recovery formula. Welcome back Huff ![]() Bamm - Welcome!! Chest and Back is a brutal workout Your decrease in numbers is likely due to sore overworked muscles.Jennifer - I personally do not think that P90X is a beginner program. P90, Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, 10 minute trainer are better suited for people just starting out. Turbo Jam has a low impact alternative to every exercise and two people showing you how to modify it. Rcagle - I am doing the same thing, my clothes sizes are going down but the scale isn't doing much. I am stuck between 138-141. I cant seem to stay in the 130's but then I also remember when I did the same thing at 148-151. Patience is not my virtue ![]() Tonight is Plyo, I hope I bring it better than I did yesterday ![]()

Welcome back Huff!
Jennifer, Bamm, anyone else out there lurkingJennifer, I agree with everyone's suggestions concerning starting with P90 or Turbo Jam. Whatever you decide, keep posting on here to let us know how you are doing. It really helps with encouragement and accountability. Chest and back tonight. I did 4 reverse grip chin ups and then I struggled with other pullups unless I used the chair but boy those 4 sure felt great.I was able to do more diamond pushups tonight too. Glad I switched to classic. H20Godess: I'm up to 10 lb weights for lawnmowers - thinking I need to keep increasing - not feeling the burn yet. You are my motivation for that ![]() Have a good night everyone. |

Just finished Plyo.
Bleh, I'm burnt out. Finito ![]() I'm looking into a good recovery drink. I refuse to pay for the P90X brand. They sure believe that product is something else to be selling it for that much. I have heard much about chocolate milk as a great homebrew recovery drink. Just knock back an old-school Yoo-Hoo(tm) "Lowfat 1% chocolate milk is a good recovery drink. While it does have a reasonable 3.3-to-1 carbohydrate to protein ratio (brands differ slightly), lowfat milk contains less easily absorbed simple sugar and a small amount of fat, around 15% of calories." The above snagged from some website. My idea is a take from that and why not buy some pre-made in the can...Slim Fast. Chilled and ready to chug after the workout!! Any thoughts? |

Well, up at at 'em there, everyone!!!
![]() Kicked the tar out of Kenpo X last night - BIG TIME! I was exuding so much power behind my punches and kicks it was SCARY - LOL! I constantly question how anyone could ever say Kenpo X is easy. HUH? Certainly isn't...not when done correctly. It is one adrenaline, sweat-inducing adventure, and I enjoy every heart-pounding second of it. Nikkismom: I hear ya on the creatine thing...although a lot of females seem to use it without any problems. I was reading a blog of one of the fitness models and she was mentioned that it causes bloating in women - not the kind that TOM causes, but rather, bloating of the muscles, but that it's nothing to worry about because it passes. Still...I'm a little leary... Dealing with TOM bloating is enough without have to worry about creatine bloatng as well. ![]() I'm confused about the whole protein/recovery drink thing. Is it ok to forego the recovery drink and just drink a protein shake in its place after a workout? Is it ok to drink more than one protein shake per day - the whey protein formula I have in mind is approx. 23g of protein per one scoop per drink. Since I'll be starting Doubles after this recovery week is complete, I guess I'm wondering if I should drink a protein shake immediately following Cardio X in the am, and then one immediately following the regular workout in the evenings? All you experts....? ![]() Magama: I'm glad you switched to Classic. I think you'll find your results more pronounced than with Lean, and by that I mean you'll find more muscle/toning definition a whole lot quicker just because of the increased strength workouts. Congrats on upping your weight to 10lbs for the lawnmowers. You'll find that in time, sooner rather than later, you'll be needing 15lbs. Personally, at this point I'm finding 15lbs to be giving me less of a burn than before. I'm off to purchase heavier weights probably today or tomorrow in time for Phase 2 starting next week. Hopefully 12lbs (12lbs seem to be hard to find), 20lbs and 25lbs. Bamm: the only drawback for the P90X recovery drinks and other products for me is that I'd have to order them and wait for them in the mail. Well I'm a RIGHT NOW kind of gal and don't have time to wait to receive them in the mail. I'd rather go out and purchase a different brand at the store and have it right now. I've heard the same thing about low fat chocolate milk being an adequate recovery drink. Only problem with that is that I don't like milk, white or chocolate. But I've definitely heard that low fat chocolate milk is a good substitute for a recovery drink. Only two more workouts to go before finishing up this recovery week. Hard to believe I'm on day 115 of my P90X experience. Can't imagine my life before beginning the program. Core Syn tonight!!! |

I had to skip my workout yesterday, time of the month issues hit me hard. Shouldn't be an issue today
![]() Magama - I am in awe of your unassisted chin-ups I think you will like the classic version You will be surprised how fast you will move up with weights, I am using 20lbs on lawnmowers. I could probably use 25 but I am struggling with being able to hold the weight.H20 - I was just as confused about the recovery drink thing. To be honest the only reason I am using it now and also using L-Glutamine is because of DOMS, at 45 my muscles need some recovery assistance If there were not an issue I wouldn't be using it. Bamm - There isn't any problem with using that as a recovery drink but it won't have the amino acids and a few other supplements that are usually found in recovery drinks. If it works for you then why not. Beware of Slim Fast, it keeps me in the restroom if ya know what I mean ![]() Hope everyone has a great day!!! |

When you really get into it and keep your focus on your CORE and making those punches come from the core, it is so hard. You're dripping sweat. When you're punching and actually turning so that your belly button is twisting, yikes! Yep, Kenpo X today. Yesterday was PUSH circuit 1 repeat and I was using 25lbs for the squats, lunges and 15lbs for the TRICEP work! I do thank Tony and P90X for the strength for that. The pushups at the very end of the shoulder and tricep workout was killer and once again, Tony and his endless, relentless sets of 400 pushup variations actually made me ![]() So happy to see everyone still workin' it and bringin' it HARD! ![]() As I said I'm CLX'ng but lurking here 'cos once you've bonded over P90X you're addicted for life. ![]() Happy Hump Day all!

![]() That's the thing...as Tony states, you should be using your core during this workout, your body should be twisting and your shoulders working right along with throwing the punches etc. My abs/obliques are actually sore today from the impact of me using my core strength so much when I was throwing the punches. Certainly made me rethink any intention of possbily purchasing weighted gloves to use with this workout. At least in the foreseeable future anyway. Bloody, intense INDEED!Adding Kenpo to your "rest" days...you go girl! Quote:

You're a funny gal!
But a big OOPS, let me qualify: I didn't do 15lbs on ALL the tricep exercises there were just two: overhead press and the bent over tricep extensions and remember with PUSH the heavier weights only require 6 - 8 reps for failure. So by the time you get to 6 you are pretty much wiped. ![]() There is an exercise in which you're lying flat on the floor and you're holding a weight in both hands - you hold your arms straight out over your head as if you are doing a full body stretch: what you do is ... bring the weight all the way up and then lower the weight slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly while gripping the weight with both hands and keeping your arms completely straight. Don't go all the way to the floor with the weight, just until you think you're going to burst into tears like a little gurl. ![]() Yep, by the time I got to 6, I was in a full body twitch. <--- accurate description of me afterwards but without the laughter. ![]() |

Hello! You guys are doing amazing! I am so jealous! Once again, I plan on starting P90X on Monday.
H2O- Awesome results! You look great! Kajun- Do you happen to remember how many calories you burned while doing the Insanity workout? I am interested in that workout. Not sure if I'd like it though. I like using weights ![]() I hope you all have a great day! |

Goddess, thanks to you I really brought it to Kenpo X!
I had to take those weighted gloves OFF. ![]() Towards the end during the elbow series and the vertical punches, I tried to get really low in the horse stance and my legs were shaking and my glutes were SCREAMING. My quads are still shaking. Sweat pouring off. I love that workout. Bamm, there is no way around Yoga X. I have done all kinds of yoga for a few years and this one I could not stand. I think it is because Tony makes it competitive and goes very quickly so that you get stressed out; however, it has grown on me and I continue to do it now and then even while I'm doing a different program. That's a testament to the power of it, I guess. The yoga gives you the flexibility and strength to do a lot of the other workouts without injury: no strains or charley horses or shin splints if Tony can help it. Kajun will be in soon to give you a good medical explanation for why it's so good for you. No one hated it more than I when I started and now I'm doing it voluntarily so ... ... there you go.I will repeat what everyone has said: Yoga X gets better. You may grow to love it or merely tolerate it but it will get much better. There is no appropriate substitute. Try to do what you can, then go into child's pose, catch your breath, re-center yourself and start again when you're ready. |

I have a 10 year old that likes doing the Yoga X routine with me.
Can't explain that at all. I guess I don't have a problem so much with the first 45 mins, which most people say is the hardest. The balancing stances frustrate the hell out of me. |

![]() Balance poses are extremely difficult and frustrating because it requires so much concentration. And strength that you never never you would even need. Part of the balance problem for most people (outside of physical limitations and vertigo) is that these poses require what yogis have long described as the Western "monkey mind" and I believe it. Having a monkey mind makes it difficult to clear your mind and focus, concentrate, be still and just let the 3rd eye have at it. ![]() I found that once I was able to really let go of stuff from the workday and not think about everything I had to do once I was done with yoga helped me concentrate on "nothing" Balancing will get better as you get stronger and gain more control of the breath. |

Ladyb: Oh...but what you did is still impressive though.
Those slow-going moves sound impressive. Can't wait to check them out when I do Chalean Extreme. I'm fairly certain I'm going to love that program too. Took them weight gloves off, eh? I can only imagine how much more difficult Kenpo would be with them. I get really deep into the horse stance during the elbow series too. The level of intensity that, that Tony Lattimore feller brings to the workout just blows my mind! He's a joy to watch during this workout. He means business, no ifs, ands or buts about it. LOL His legs are sooooo low and wide during the horse stance...much, much lower, that the "Kenpo expert", Wesley does. Wildcat: Nice to hear from you! Thanks for the lovely compliment. It's great that you're starting the X again on Monday. Bamm: IMO, there is no substitute for Yoga. Yoga, (specifically Yoga X) simply is what it is. Replacing Yoga X with a cardio workout is akin to replacing the apples in an apple pie with onions instead of apples. In other words, it just won't cut it. Yoga X is a challenge, no doubt about it, but you'll find that once you get used to doing it more and more, the 92 minutes go by much quicker. Add to that the fact that afterwards, you'll be more relaxed, and calm and feel good about sticking it out for those 90 minutes or so. You'll be so pleased with yourself for enduring it all the way through. Just keep at it if you can. It gets better over time. I agree with what Ladyb said about the "monkey mind" thing. It can be hard to clear ones mind of the days happenings, but if you can just focus and allow yourself more calmness of mind, holding the poses is much easier. Every time I do Yoga X and some of the more difficult poses, i.e., twisting triangle pose, which admittedly, I'm still not that great at, I shut my mind down and keep thinking to myself, "mind over matter, mind over matter..." while holding the pose...it really helps! I can understand your frustration about doing the balance poses. In the beginning I used to too, thinking, "I ought to be able to do these...what's wrong with me?!" then I realized, HUH? This is Yoga X, not some little 30 minute yoga workout, this is 92 minutes of sheer mental and physical extreme-ness. All you can do is do YOUR best and forget the rest. Mr. Horton himself says there's no substitute for yoga in P90X, so if he says it I believe him. 'Cause he's the man! Core Syn tonight! Last edited by H20Goddess; 05-28-2009 at 07:25 AM.. |

Did Plyo last night, had an awesome workout!!! I didnt take any extra pauses and had really good energy. I am afraid that i will need to finally retire the workout pants I was wearing as they were literally falling off during the workout
I feel it in my entire body today, even my abs are sore. A good sore ![]() Hey LadyB!! Good to see you, I am so glad you pop in to say hi. I can't wait to do my hybrid CLX/P90X when I am finished!! One of the things I struggle with in P90X is going to heavy on the weights because I still have the CLX mentality of one set, few reps. You can't get way with that when you have almost 60 minutes of lifting ![]() Hey Wildcat, good to see back!! Bamm - Yoga X is a required taste Jennifer - Good luck with whichever program you decide ![]() |

I don't remember having to do a lot of reps in P90x, though, in any phase of it so it must be like childbirth - it's said that when it's over you only have a dim memory of the agony. ![]() |

Jennifer - P90 is great program. I purchased last year and I was not in great shape. I used the pause button quite a bit at the beginning but by the time I was peaking in P90, the only time I hit the pause button was during the ab ripper.
Did P90X plyo last night. What a workout. It kicks my rear every time, but I still like the routines. |

Yesterday was rest or stretch. I rested in the morning and went to Krav last night. It was a small class so the instructor did a lot of drills that they can't do with a bigger class. Kicked my butt. Did mountain climbers for one part - I had more flexibility than I've had doing those for a long time. Really felt good.
Too much going on today to comment to everyone so just keep pushing play and have a great day. |

I guess it really is true what Tony says about women seeing greater results with P90X in approximately 120 days opposed to the initial 90 days of the program. Today marks day 128 (with being in Round 2) for me and I'm really seeing some great additional results since completing my first round of the program about four weeks ago. At this rate, I can't wait to see what my body will look like after the end of this secound round, and subsequent rounds after that!
Yoga X tonight to wrap up recovery week and then onto Doubles beginning first thing next week! ![]() Last edited by H20Goddess; 05-29-2009 at 10:32 AM.. |
