Finished, Now to maintain? 5 Months ago Karma: 0  
Just finished p90x, took a lot out of me as im not someone witha lot of time ;] but im pleased with my results

I was just thinking about what im going to do now, i was thinging of just doing 3 cardio workouts a week, just to maintain my results. Im not looking to improve more by doing this, just keep what i've worked for.

I was thinking like Plyo monday, Cardio x wednesday and Kenpo Friday, and if i was feeling up to it ab ripper x as well or on the inbetweeen days

any thoughts?

Well, what you could do, is just do the program in order, but do it every other day.

Day 1 - Chest and back, Day 3 - Plyo, Day 5 - Shoulders and Arms, Day 7 - Yoga X, Day 9 Legs and Back, Day 11 - Kenpo, Day 13 - X Stretch (maybe cardio x on the same day too), then start over with Chest and back.

It's essentially the same program, but it takes 6 months to complete rather than 3.

Do cardio only and you'll maintain it that area but in that area alone. What about the gains you made in strength, flexibilty, co-ordination and balance? Don't you want to keep those, too? If so you have to keep doing what got you where you are. Not as often mind, but there is no finish line. Day 90 was not the end for me. It was the end of my new beginning.
What Austin suggested above would work but you might get bored. There's always P90X+ and Tony's 1 on 1 series if you're lookig for variety. Also doing "real" stuff counts too. Ride a bike, chop some wood, go for a hike, take the stairs, two-step the stairs, even. Stay active and stay motivated. Last thing you want is to regress.

Similar to P90X and + but it's just Tony in his home gym. A new workout every month. I've tried a few and they're good. Some titles: Just Arms, Plyo Legs, Fountain of Youth Yoga, 30:15 Upper Body Massacre, Super Cardio...
Lots of stuff you already know but lots of tweaks, variations and all-together new moves too. Good stuff.

I'd echo what Stick said...as far as a plan, there really isn't. But, if you've been through P90, P90X, or P90X Plus, you get the general flow of the workouts and you should feel confident in your ability to craft your own program from them.

By the way...for those who don't have 90 minutes for Yoga (like me!) there's a video known as Fountain of Youth Yoga that gives a 45 minute workout. So it's good, especially if you're blowing off Yoga because of the time commitment. There's a new video called Patience Yoga that just came out...thought I'd give it a whirl this weekend.

Hope this helps...

Kevin

well its close to 2 weeks since i finished p90x lean, im thinkin about doing the classic version again anyway just to get a little bigger then i might do the one on one. Coz it would be easy to find just 10 mins a day. and id realy hate to loose what i have gained. it would be a shame

Hold on. Sounds like you might be confusing 1 on 1 with Tony's 10-Minute Trainer series. The 1 on 1 workouts are about 45 minutes long. The 10-Minute Trainer is something else altoghter. No reason why you couldn't use it too, but it's different from 1 on 1.

the 1 on 1's are designed to switch into your daily P90X schedule. So for example, instead of doing Yoga X on day 4, you could replace it with the fountain of youth yoga. Instead of Plyo on Day 2, you could do the 1 on 1 Plyo Legs. It's designed to give you a variety so that you can still stick to the plan, and not get bored of it and quit.
