Just starting a daily log for myself to track my progress. Hopefully peole will respond and keep me motivated. Nothing pushes you more than when you know someone will hold you accountable for what you do.

Day 2: Plyometrics- this was hard, got through the whole thing but only at half speed with 2 extra breaks. Felt good at the end though, lets see how I feel tomorrow.

Did you take "before" pictures so you can see how you progress? Nothing motivates like seeing it on film!

Yes. I have to download them tonight. i'll put them up soon

How was day 3? Everyone says the plyo really kicks your tail and makes the rest of the week tough (at the beginning anyway).

I just ordered it tonight so I few more days before I can start. I'm going to bust tail before it arrives so I won't be so shocked.

Yea - Plyo is tough, unfortunately I have bad knees so I can't do to plyo.

I did plyo for the first time last night. all I can say is WOW. My legs hurt today. I couldn't keep up with the DVD, especially the "squat jumping jacks"... ouch.

I would much rather weight train, but will follow the program no matter what

I missed day 3 on wed due to travel for work, but I made it up tonight when I got back. The shoulder and arms workout was good. The arms got blasted, but I think I have to adjust the weight for the shoulder sets.

I am now a day behind, but I guess I will catch up on Sunday. Diet is going well too. Good to see a few more people on here. welcome.

Question for you guys. How do you handle missing a day. Do you just move on to the next workout the next day, do you double up on a day, or do you back everything up a day?

I missed wed. last week and tried to back everything up a day and got all screwed up. Also on a side note, I did the workout this morning after breaking my diet for the Daytona 500 yesterday and had a few cold ones (ok about 11 of them) and some chips. I felt like I was going to throw up half way through the workout. I made it through and actually got a good workout in, but was totally spent afterwards

I havent myself missed a day, but I thought about it and if I do, I will probably try to double up on saturday or sunday. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.

I also had a "good" time for the 500! Im glad I made my 7th day mondays. Do you guys do the Stretch X? or just rest?

Seeing how bad yoga kicked my butt, I am going to get all the stretching in that I can

Ahhhh Yoga X. An hour and a half of places my body has never been. I think I'll hit up Stretch X too...

I actually missed yoga yesterday due to sickness - I'm not sure what you do but I'm trying to do more cardio then lifting anyways so i substitute either yoga or kempo for the "legs + back" day. Because I missed a day, I will not take the "rest day" on day 7.

As for Stretch X, I have done it a few times but rather use that day to rest.

wow, totally awesome, so I turned 21 on the 19th, and low and behold when I check my email at 2 am on the 20th my P90x has been delivered, so I run to the porch in the snow and there it is!!!! THE ULTIMATE SELF-BIRTHDAY present...I can't wait!!!

I have never really tried this "P90x daily log", but seeing the response of others I believe it is a very motivational tool for others, including me(!) in keeping track of one's activities and achievements.

This will be a new challenge for me!

Welcome aboard Angel. The board is a great tool to keep yourself accountable.

Week 2, Days 2 went well for me. I got a real good plyo workout in, missed this morning, but will likely get to it after work today

Hey guys...is this thread just for mocheeks daily log or for everyones? I'm about to get started and wasn't sure if I should create my own thread or just add to this one.

By all means, go right ahead, this isn't just for me. I would rather have others on here so we can compare and try and pus heach other. I think it will be cool to see how others are doing as well

Opted for Stretch X this morning instead of yoga, I think I'm going to have to ease into the yoga thing. Its way harder than I thought

Mocheeks,

Looks like I started around the same time you did. My start date was 2/11/08 .

I am 53 years old and was starting to feel my age. I saw the info commercial for P90x and looked just the thing to motivate my lazy butt off the couch.

So far I am not disappointed. Really like the idea that the program comes with actual meal plan and recipes .

I am on my 11 th day last night did Shoulders and Arms .
and Abx.

Four days in the sorness in my muscles stopped hurting.

The hardest thing for me so far has been the yoga session. Tonight will be the second time . If it does not go better . I think I will substitute the CardioX vid for the Yoga day.

What I like about the P90x the most is the variety. I do as many reps that I can plus one or two more. I also like how Tony tells you to do what you can and form is better than all the reps they can do. I am hoping by phase II . I will be able to keep up.

Oh and there are some things like the Rock Hop that I just skip . Oh my knees. lol

My official start date is this Monday but I got it in the mail yesterday so I just had to get a feel for it. My wife and I did the fit test last night and did all the measurements and crap. I couldn't wait so I decided to try the Ab Ripper last night...there are some tough positions that I couldn't get down (the one where you lay on your side and lift your shoulders and legs). My abs were toasted last night but surprisingly they are fine today - maybe I did them all wrong...

Today I decided to do the plyo since most people think it's the toughest. I figured if I did it today I might be less sore when I do it on my official first day of plyo (tuesday). It was tough...I think I probably averaged around half of what they did. I did about 15-20 seconds on most exercises (except the easy ones) and about 30-45 for the minute long ones. I wanted to start slow so I could make it through the whole thing. Next time I'll step it up a notch...of course I'm saying that before the soreness kicks in tomorrow. I did about 30 minutes of Stretch X today too since stretching is my weakness and was the only thing I failed on the fit test (I was like
