Day 1 of P90X down...

Chasity08

I did my first day of P90X last night. I was pretty skeptical as I've always kind of thought "no way will I get as good of a workout in front of my TV as I will going to the gym" but boooooooy was I wrong. I'm not kidding you, that was the best workout I've ever done, and I didn't even do it all the way! I didn't realize that it required a pull up bar (which I don't have, and I don't have bands) so I was just copying what the guy with bands did only with hand weights instead (I figured it'll do for now until I can get a pullup bar/bands) and I ended up pretty much collapsing on the floor after 45 minutes! That workout is INTENSE!

Is anyone else doing the P90X challenge? FI is supposed to be doing with me, but he already slacked off and didn't do the first day (we work opposite schedules so we can only work out together on his days off) and is making excuses, so I need some other people who want to support eachother as we get through this!

P.S. 89 days (yes...I will be having a countdown in my house. I have a calendar Xing off the days. haha)

Yeah. My DH and I are doing the program. We're on week 4 this week. DH really liked phase 1 though and we skipped Yoga & Legs/Back almost every week. So we're going to start phase 1 again on Sunday.

Love the P90!  DH and I both do it.

You can get a pullup bar at WalMart that hooks over the doorframe and doesn't require drilling anything into the wall.

That's awesome! Thank you so much for that! I was super worried about that because we live in an apartment, so I wasn't sure how I was going to manage! I will definitely be investing in that tomorrow! =]

And it'll probably just get you more ready for phase 2 to do it again, so I say go for it! I noticed that you've already lost about 50 pounds, is that mostly from the P90 or are you doing other stuff as well? Please share! =] =] =]

I am also doing p90x!  I do a little bit of a modified version because I also do fitness classes at night.  BUT, I love it and I am seeing results and am getting a LOT stronger.  I am on week 6.  I haven't lost too much weight, but several inches.  I take measurements tomorrow so I will know for sure how many inches. 

Keep it up and you will see results

I'm doing a bit of a modified version as well alhecker, but that's mostly because I am incapable of doing it. haha. I'm so out of shape. I let myself go for sooooo long after I had my daughter...it's pretty sad that I had to use my wedding as a final excuse to get back in shape. haha.

But day 3 down! Not going to lie, only made it through about 20 minutes of plyo before I collapsed on the floor on day 2. I just couldn't do it anymore. I've got this thing with my knees where my kneecaps are crooked, it's kind of confusing, but yeah, i don't think i'll be doing plyo anymore. I'll be substituting the cardio x instead. haha.

Day 4 tonight! Good luck girls!!! I know you will all meet your goals, and will look beautiful (regardless) on your wedding day!!! =]

Me too!   Plyo is so hard!  I've slowly worked my way up to finishing about 35 minutes of it, but then I give up.  It's the only one that I've tried so far that I haven't been able to get through.

Fi and I are in week 3.  I am much stronger and down 6 lbs and he is down 9!  We love it!
