Does anyone have any advice for me, I have thought about this P90X thing for a while, and now that I have seen people here in this forum getting results, I thought I might give it a whirl for a few days and see how it goes....
All right sports fans, I'm BAAA AAACCCKK. Ready to go with round 2.. Today is D DAY, Phase 1, Day 1, Week 1-Fat Shredder profile Level 2. All ignition sources ready for take off in T-minus 10 minutes, Chest and Back day.
I'm all jazzed about starting all over again, and I am making my pilgrimage toward Sparta, picking up lost souls on my way and leading them to the promised land that is RippedVille...
I am on my way, so don't let me catch up to you, keep going, keep diggin, keep kickin, scratching, biting and clawing toward that finish line. Make every work out something you have to crawl away from in a pool of sweat and you too will know what it is like to claim the title of Arcadian, and who knows, maybe even one day...Spartan

Bro, you need to see a doctor Stat!!! Maybe Dr. Drew should have a show that combines former fat people that are now addicted to P90x!! It can be on VH1..

Tony can guest star. I would say that drill Sargent dude from fit club could come on too, but we would shred him up!!

This is insanely inspiring.

So shall it be.

I know..scary isn't it..
Just got done with day 1..goal today was to raise reps or weight by 5, no matter what, I was gassed at the end, but boy was it worth it, felt like a million bucks right up until I heard those three nasty words...Ab Ripper X, in that slow psychotic whisper that only Tony Horton has mastered. For some reason I was torched from the get go..got through all the exercises and did a few more, but I felt myself getting fatigued early on, so it was a real push to get it done, added some extra Mason's in there, but only after a three minute stretch. AHHHH, but it feels great to be done. Tomorrow, Death Sweat Plyo and some unknown PLus video for me...
And Les I got your review request and will finish playing around with all of them this weekend and will have something for ya soon.
Until tomorrow..."Molon Lhave".

You just Rock!

Welcome to this forum Addict. You should find some answers in here to any questions you have. You might be sore the first couple of workouts but don't give up, keep up with it, what the heck I am saying, you're the formost expert on this subject. Good luck and thanks for leading the way for us all on this train ride.

Who is this crazy newbie? You look like you've already been doing P90X?

Phase 1, week 1, Day 2: PLYO and Kenpo Cardio double sweat death day. Got to hurry up and get into the gym, have to work this evening, and this one takes quite a while to finish. I really feel the results from yesterdays Chest/Back /Ab's, Got that semi sweet soreness going on, just enough to make you remember what you did the day before, but not strong enough to make you too sore to work hard today.
Got some new friends joining us next week, I know at least one of them is gonna start logging here, and at least two if not three others starting at the same time. I also have a group of people at work that are trying to get it approved to do while working (during their lunch break of course). I have really been enouraging people around me to get out and do something, is doesnt have to be P90X, GREAT if it is, and trying to encourage them to cut out or down on fast food, which I KNOW is the hardest part for people.

Just got done with the above mentioned workout, and all I have to say is WOW. That T-shirt must have weighed 5 lbs when I was done, as shown by the scale today (1st time I weighed myself in the last 9 days, and it was post workout) but look who hit a personal best of 198 BABY. I know it is gonna be shortlived again, but I am renewed in my faith that I have broken through my plateau!!!!!
Tried somethin new today..a friend of mine just returned from a marathon and brought me back a box of Powerbar Gel packs, used for endurance, its a quick shot of electrolytes and quick carbs that are supposed to rejuvenate (along same lines as recovery drink). I dug it, and Ill give it a try for a few days to see where it goes, they have different flavors but I dont suggest the strawberry banana...more to come on this one.

The 200's are so in your past! Way to bust that plateau man!

Bring It!

Congrats on breaking 200

Please keep us posted on those gel packs

Phase1, Week1, Day3, Shoulders and Arms. Had a really late workout tonight, as a matter of fact, just got done (11:15). Felt great gettin through the regular workout and really pushed it with reps and weight, but because it was so late, I almost bagged Ab Ripper. That lasted for a few seconds and said screw it, no one else is gonna do it for you. I kicked it's A$$, and now I am feelin it, great workout tonight, now its time for beddy by, I dont think I'll be waiting this late at night to do any workout again except for Yoga, that one gets me so relaxed at the end.
As a matter of fact Tomorrow is my favorite..Yoga day!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. I only have 87 days left, and I can feel myself creepin up on a few of you, dont give it up, keep pushin it, even if your not feelin it, get some exercise in somehow!!!
See you tomorrow sports fans.

Week 1, Day 4 was a bust, had to use it as a rest day, as I got called into work to raise money for Special Olympics, so I just couldnt say no.

Today, Week 1, Day 5, have my daughters 1st preschool Concert tonight, and then it is me, Tony and my late night Yoga, can't wait. Going for full poses in Wheel with leg raise, toe hold leg extension, and Crane for entire move. Should be fun!!!

Ya, you can't forget to exercise that heart of yours But I'm sure you get plenty of practice having 4 girls! What part of you isn't strong Addict????

Week 1 Day 6-Legs and Back, was a little shaky after the one leg lunges, so I knew I was in for some fun. Got through the pain and definately lost some water weight with as much sweat as I lost here.

Week 1 Day 7, had this as my makeup, no rest day at the end (has to use it earlier this week). Got through Kenpo, had to do it inside the house today as the temp outside (garage) was in the high 90's. I want to lost weight, not go into heat stroke/shock. Anyway, had a really good workout, and started in on double day with Kenpo Cardio. Had a blast!!!!
Onto Week 2 starting tomorrow. Actually starting to see the abs (havent seen those in 15 years) make an appearance. This is gonna be one hell of a ride. C'mon baby, don't let me catch you, keep pushin play!!!!!!!!!!!! "Ready your breakfast and eat harty, for tonight we dine in..hell".

WEEK 2 Day 1, has begun, chest and Back day. Decided to try it Kenny's way and do decreased reps but inreased intensity,leg raises during posh ups, and negatives on the way down for pull ups...and I ahve to say I think I found my new favorite way to workout. I pushed out more sweat today then I ever have before with this workout.
Cant wait for death sweat double say with Plyo and some other form of sweaty torture, haven't decided yet....Until tomorrow sports fans...keep your heads down (during push ups) and put your back into it!

WEEK 2, dAY 2 was a bust, was sick all mornin and called in sick to work, had a knot in my stomach and couldnt bring myself into getting out of bed.
Week 2, Day 3, felt a little better, so decided to hit it hard with Soulders /Arms/Abs at 1000 pm. Felt great, had a few issues with the dumbells, my selectech's need to be tightened, had a couple of the discs fall out during exercise and had to stop and fix twice during workout.
All in all, a great day.

Hey man -

Since doing the leg ups during push-ups and increasing my weights, I'm starting to see an increase in my number of reps. I'm in my recovery week now and I can tell my muscles are starting to develop better now. I can't wait until PhaseII!
