[bletzm3]

you all sound like you're doing great! The only problem I ever had was sticking to it. Making excuses will hurt you. I'm starting week 5 and the switch is tough!

[Evice]

I am actually starting the program on Monday. I ripped all of the P90X Dvds into ipod format so that I can do the parts that you need pull up bar etc. in my gym. While listening to the semi annoying guy

My Start up Specs(!):
A fat @ss. 5"6' -- 177lbs.
Target: Drop to 155lbs. in 90 days. Gain muscle mass.

I also attached a file to log your progress. It is a Excel Spreadsheet to track your workouts.

PS: After saving the file to your computer, you need to rename the file extension from *.DOC(word format) to *.XLS(Excel format), I had to rename the extension of the file so that I can upload it. Somehow, Excel files are not permitted.

And No. I am ashamed to post a picture of my gut

I've been working out since the beginning of this year, stll got tender muscles from time to time when I up the weight, which I did today

Eat right and keep on building!

[swcc50]

Anyone in long beach want to get a group together to do this?

I have the DVDs, but dont have the nutrition plan, if anyone can make a copy for me that would be great

I have the pull up bar, bowflex adjustable dumbells, yoga blocks, and yoga mat. ready to go. i just need to be pushed seeing as i hate working out alone.

[mattssi]

I hear ya - I already gave up - been a couple weeks since I worked out and any results I had are gone

[DevJ]

plyometrics was a blast today....not

[ssummers]

I'm ramping up slowly, I am week 2 of Insanity, I'm really enjoying the workouts, I plan to do P90X when I am done with this one.

I had already lost 20lbs from the first of the year by eating better and regular exercise, now I am seeing results in my tone, balance, and strength.

This thread has kind of died down in the last month or so, but I hope everybody out there is sticking to the program. Today is my graduation day from p90x! I was super motivated not to miss any workouts and I'm very happy with the results. I look better and feel better, just in time for pool season! Keep pushing play, do your best and forget the rest!!!

Haha not gonna post pics because (1) I never took before pics and (2) my results are not nearly as dramatic as what you see from other p90x success stories.

But to give you an idea, I am about 5'7" and weighed in at around 148lbs at the start of the program, so it wasn't like I was way out of shape or anything. I would run on a fairly regular basis and lift weights every once in a while. My goal in doing p90x was really to get build strength and develop definition in my arms, shoulders, chest, back and abdominals. But because I'm not very tall, I did not want to add bulk. Really looking for the lean, cut look... imagine Bruce Lee. As a result, I was going for 12-15 reps (and even more) on the workouts, as opposed to 8-10. I did not follow the diet plan religiously, but I definitely ate much healthier. I ate five meals a day, with two of those meals consisting of whey protein shake after doing p90x in the mornings and a cassein protein shake at night before I went to bed. The diet was probably harder for me than the workouts becuase I have a huge sweet tooth as well as an appetite for fast food. I was able to cut fast food out and have not seen a burger since I started p90x, but desserts and pastries were tought o completely cut out. As a result, I did extra cardio at nights, usually jogging or interval sprinting two miles. Not only did this compensate for times when I strayed from the diet, but this also got my body warm for the ab ripper x routines, which I would do at nights when it was on the schedule.

Fast forward 90 days later and I have much more tone and definition in the areas that I wanted. My abs have definition for the first time in my life, although I really want to have a ripped core like the black dude in the ab ripper x routine haha! I also have a lot more definintion in my calves and quads which is nice. The biggest surprise was my weight. I am now down to about 136-138lbs, so I lost about 10 lbs!!! I really did not think I had much weight to lose, but I guess I did. I really wish I would measure my body fat percentage and so how much it changed.

Anyway I def think p90x is a great program but it takes a lot of discipline. You have to really want to do the workouts and stay on track with what you eat. I also noticed that the last couple weeks were tough to stay motivated because by then I had seen the DVD's about a dozen times each and I just wanted to be done with the program. I have moved on the Insanity now, which is a great change of pace and probably after I am done with that I will figure out some sort of hybrid program with p90x and Insanity. Good luck to all you guys in the program and hang in there!

is this something you do instead of going to the gym or is this a supplement to your weekly gym routine?

who u referring to?

@coh4777 - Ya this thread has died down a little bit. For me, After almost 3 months of it, I kinda gotten bored LOL. I usually do with any workout really. I change things up quite a bit every 2-3 months.

The 2 biggest problems I have with the whole workout/dieting (I'd like to call it "healthy lifestyle") are:

1) Had to cut out desserts/pastries/and fruit when it is past 7pm
2) Need to buy a whole new set of trendy jeans since I've gotten down 3 pant sizes lol. Might reach 4 sizes if I can reach that 8% pbf. Currently at 12.5% pbf.

[Joonsup]

im talking about p90x in general. is this a workout routine most people do in lieu of going to the gym or do they do both? It's b/c i'm used to working out 4 days a week following my routine and i feel like i hit a plateau and I've been considering p90x but if I miss a week at the gym it makes it harder for me to maintain the "strength" of how much weight i lift

[coh4777]

The program was designed to replace going to the gym, but I'm sure there are some people out there who somehow manage to do both.
