P90X January Starters Wednesday

[Fit_mommy]

Well, shoulders&arms/ARX is complete! }(

I've decided that it will be YogaX tonight and my class tomorrow. Actually, what I will most likely do is half of the yoga this evening and half tmrw before or after my class at the gym.

Friday is Legs and Back. I look forward to it. I think I am in the minority as I actually LIKE the leg work in the X! I am not fond of heavy lifting for the legs anyway because it doesn't "bring" the results I want so the X legs are right up my alley!:-) I get a kick out of the "sneaky lunges"! They look silly but they are effective!!!:+

Okay, I've scarfed down my protein shake and now must hit the showers! I'll be back later on girls!

Hey Everyone,

My chest is sore from Chest & Back yesterday. I did pretty good on the first round, but was really sick of the push ups and didn't "bring it" as best as I could on the second round. This morning I did plyo x. I really like this workout but I'm not sure why.

Angie-I actually workout in the morning before work, and some days at the rec ctr on my lunch. I just don't have time to check it until the middle of the day.

Wendy-I love Shoulders & arms too. I think because I can lift really heavy 15-25lbs which is heavy for me. I hope you enjoy the half marathon distance as much as I do. Still challenging, but not an all out killer (thinking marathon:))

Gayle-glad you decided to stay with us, or the x I mean. Being overweight, I really need to keep up the cardio also. You have to find what works best for you.

Nancy-if you miss a day, you simply miss a day. If you can add in the workout-great. If not, just move on to the next day and not worry about it.

Marie-you'll have to let us know how you like your new hr monitor. The first time I did plyo X I burned 550 cals, 2nd time was 540 cals and today was 520 cals. I use my hr monitor for all my cardio workouts and have for years. I love stepping too. I usally sub cardio for yoga x (very bad I know).

db-you are truly amazing. I ride my bike in my neighborhood with my kids and occasionally go mtn biking. I'm not sure I could ride a 100 miles-like every weekend. you go girl!!!!

rm-you show true dedication to the P90X program by not subbing in your own workouts. I feel the same way about ab ripper x as you do the cardio. I am sick of it pretty much. I am doing arx once a week and using Cathe for the other 2 ab workouts.

Keep up the good work ladies.

OH!!!!! i don't ride 100 miles in one shot every weekend! yikes! lol! there are a few weeks in the spring and fall that that happens depending on when the rides are set for... but usually there's at least a week or two between centuries and in the winter (nov/dec) it's just "regular" rides... no centuries! this weekend will be me on my own for a ride on saturday and a group ride of about 30-40 miles on sunday! oh... and i LOVE mountain biking (may do that satuday!!!! we just got brand new mountain bikes before christmas cuz we've gotten "the bug" for it... it's a BLAST!!!!! i actually prefer mountain biking in the cold weather cuz it just feels warmer since you aren't riding as fast!)

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!

Hey Everybody -

Done with Classic/Phase 1/Week3/Day 2

So my meeting was cancelled and I was able to do PlyoX. I like this workout a lot too. I modify like Pam the blam and don't do the tuck jumps or "rocker"(?) jumps. I'm afraid of hurting myself. It's still a great workout with these modifications.

Tomorrow Arms & Shoulders and I'm looking forward to "bringing it".

Wendy, I love Back and Legs too. I swear my legs are thinner....? At least I hope so!

I love doing a rotation.

Hi all - Well - I'm totally IMPRESSED with all of us. Sounds like we are bringin it and it is so COOL!!:-)

Did Biceps and back today with ARX. Sometimes ARX is such a CHORE! Some days I can get through it without too much trouble and other days - ugh.

I'm drinking a protein shake after the strength workouts and usually have a protein bar as a snack on the cardio or yoga days. I probably should do the protein shake every day, but I hate to add the extra calories. So, on those days that I don't have the extra shake I try to make sure I have fish or chicken for dinner to make up for it.

db - I'm still with ya.:-) I'm not subbing Cathe or missing any workouts. I'll stay with it until the bitter end. I'm happy with the results thus far, so I'm in it for the long haul. I am really looking forward to being done though, so I can do some Cathe and change up some workouts.

Wendy - no push ups today. Just pull up hell}(

Marie - enjoy your new HRM - when I did plyo this week, I burned 425 calories with plyo. Man is that ever a tough workout - love it}( I just started using my HRM too and it is a neat tool to have. When Tony announces his HR, I'm still about 20 beats above his:o Maybe he's not really bringin it??:P Nah - he's just in better shape than me...

Laura - well it sounds like the hard part is over for you. Yay!! Most people don't even know when they pass the stone out of the bladder unless the doctor orders a urine strainer. They like to send the stones to the lab for analysis. Anyways.....glad the worst is over for you. Ease back into it slowly and welcome back!

Later gaters
