P90x, who is doing it?

vash_241987 · 04-20-2010, 06:32 PM

My mom apparently bought it w/o my prior knowledge so i decided what the hell its alot better than gaining weight. So here were my specs before I started:

5'6"
246lbs

I started it last sunday and I'm still going, its a bitch doing 1hrs of continuous workout with 30sec brakes in between sets, but it feels great after. All the endorphins rushing in and feeling relaxed. On top of the workout, I did a diet of change, more veggies with my meats, and replaced half gallons of ice cream and kind size candy bars with yogurt, fruits and granola bars. So far I have lost 6lbs since last sunday, it doesn't look like it, but I guess I have to keep on going. Rome was not built in a day, and neither will my body (I kinda wish it did)

p90x is effective even if you start out in shape. I did it for about a month with noticeable results, but stopped d/t a busy work schedule. I'm going to try and start it back up. None of that bigger results from less work BS. It's bigger results from lots of hard work!

I heard ya, its usually 10 min warm up, 45 mins of crazy work out and 5 mins of cool down. I though that yoga would be easy, nope. I love it!!! Plus you can pace yourself until you get it, last week was spent about a 1 hrs and 20 mins, now with some of them I can keep up. Kenpo is awseaome, but I need more coordination lol. After the 90 days (I hope I still am on it) I might try out the P90x lean, lose more fat. Man is cardio my worse enemy, but I got to do it.

I have it, by accident I ordered the P90X Plus which is the tougher add on DVD's But still give you a complete workout schedual for the weeks. But I did order the original P90X and it will be here tomorrow. By the Way this is the start of my second week ha its a killer

I was going to do P90X but after my last deployment I found the joys of free weight lifting, now I lift 3 days a week with a 5x5 working on deadlifts, squats, rows, bench, military press with some random little enchancers in between. Been working great so far

Jeffblue · 04-20-2010, 08:15 PM

I do free weight training and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. from what i hear of p90x it sounds pretty legit. definitely a good balance of strength training and cardio, which is good for weight loss for men. you don't want to lose 150 pounds and then be all scrawny.

JACKPAC · 04-23-2010, 12:22 AM

Don't worry it's alot of cardio, but it's cardio that is enhanced by anaerobic activity. For example, chest and back workout basically is 150-200 push-ups coupled with 100-125 or so pull-ups (depending on how many you can do per set). You should be out of breath by the anaerobic moves.

djpathfinder · 04-23-2010, 12:43 AM

Wait til you get to stage 2...new and harder stuff. It's good though. Ab Ripper X..."I hate it, but I love it" pretty much sums it up. I went through the first 2 stages and then week 1 of stage 3 (chest and shoulders) felt much easier. But I got sick and we went on holidays...almost 4 weeks of missing the routine now. I lost 10 lbs (not a lot because I wasn't following the diet, only eating sensibly and cutting out sugars and carbs), noticed a difference in my mid-section, have more toned arms and shoulders and stronger core...not bad for 67 days. It's a huge time commitment everyday though, at around 80-90 minutes per workout. I'm going to start up again in May, from day 1, when I have a bit more time.

sobewebmaster · 04-23-2010, 01:29 AM

I've pretty much finished P90X Lean myself after starting in February, wanting to get into better shape as far as cardio for Basic Training (which I leave for this Tuesday).

I have to say it's worked great for me. I can sprint longer distances in my runs before tiring out. As well as now doing 25 more pushups before my arms feel sore compared to before I started.

Smart move! Unfortunately the drill sergeant will probably detect when you're not acting exhausted like the other out of shape recruits and give you extra.

P90X is a very good program, I started in pretty good shape (I race road bikes/motorcycles) already however, I can tell that over the off-season my cardio/strength has improved.

phelan · 04-23-2010, 01:17 PM

i use the routine but i don't do it daily, maybe every other

One_Quick_Z · 07-21-2010, 03:53 PM
