TOPIC: Finish Line in Site

Finish Line in Site 2 years, 10 months ago #13091

Next week is my last week but I'm having a hard time gettting there. I'm just done with P90x. I work out at 5am and I've slept in a couple of days this week. I make it up at night but I hate working out in the evening. I'm not complaining about the program, I love it but I'm just done with it already!

Anyone else struggle towards the end?

Re:Finish Line in Site 2 years, 10 months ago #13094

Ya, it's only 90 days but it's a grind not doubt. On my first round I was getting up way early too and it sucked. Try and finish strong. What's 1 more week when you've already put in 12?

P.S. What are your post-P90X plans?

Re:Finish Line in Site 2 years, 10 months ago #13096

I'm definitely going to finish up strong. And what you said I keep telling myself, "Only two weeks left, only one week left..."

As for post p90x, I'm not sure. When I started I was about 188, in the previous three years I went from 245 to 188 on my own, through eating properly and working out at a gym 4-5 days a week. My goal was to lose about 10 pounds, which isn't going to happen (I'm down to about 183), but I'm ok with it.

My wife has the 10 Minute Trainer CDs, I may try that workout and see if I can get a bit more lean, and when I hit my ideal weight, move back to a more normal workout routine, which will be a combo of weight training on my own (at home) and the P90X DVDs, especially the cardio and yoga discs. I also play hockey and with the summer and warmer weather approaching, my wife and I purchased bikes, so I'm going to incorporate that into my routine. I think as the summer whinds down I may take another run at P90x. I definitely can't get right back into it, I need a break. But I'm not going to stop working out, that's for sure.

Any suggestions?

You sound like me. At the end of my 90 days (3 weeks ago)I was down 10 pounds and 3% bf. I started in an ok place at only 135lbs and 18% bf. I didn't follow the diet guide so was ok with my results too.
I had no intention of taking another run at P90X right away...or ever?
I have a full compliment of weights at home and was going to do a hybrid thing going forward: some P90X and some more traditional iron pumping stuff 5 days a week or so.
Then wonder of wonders, my wife showed an interest in P90X. I was all over it and said - if she wanted - that I'd do it with her. We just finished Day 2 yesterday.
I was sick of P90X at the end of my 1st round but I think it was being sick of getting up at 3:30am alone that was getting to me more than anything. Now I have a w/o partner and we're doing it in the evenings. I'm actually psyched again.
I have the 10 minute disks, too. The ab one I like but have never seriously done the others.

Re:Finish Line in Site 2 years, 10 months ago #13112

I didn't follow the diet guide either. I'm thinking of trying it but not so sure. I eat OK as it is, it's not a problem. And trying to keep a diet during the summer isn't an easy thing to do.

My wife has no interest in P90x so that won't be a problem. She does want to do the 10 Minute Trainer but she hasn't gotten to it yet. I'm not big on workout partners, I like to be alone (one of the few times I get some quiet around the house!) and do what I have to do. I played around with the 10MT discs but never followed the workout layed out, I plan on doing that this time. I modified it when I did use them.

I was doing some research online and it's amazing what they tell you as far as weight goes. Now I'm 5'10 and weigh about 184. I look pretty good, but according to some sites online, "I'm extremely overweight." I should be like 165. Not for nothing, I'd look like a pipsqueak at that weight. I'd like to get to about 178 or so and I'd be happy. But even that comes up as "overweight." Whatever!

Re:Finish Line in Site 2 years, 10 months ago #13115

I'm not following the diet this time around either.
Overall weight means nothing to me. Bodyfat %age is the key as far as I'm concerned.
At the end of these second 90 days I want to get to 10% bodyfat and to have made similar strength gains to the ones I realised in round 1. If sucessfull I'll probably be only 115-120lbs by then (125 now). I'm only 5'5" but your websites would probably say that's underweight. Whatever.
