I used to not clap, but now I figure, what the hell, just do it. I've found that clapping when Cathe says to clap helps me remember the steps better.

TODAY HARDCORE ARRIVES! WOO HOO! I did Shoulders & Arms today. My biceps are fried! I also tried an Ima Challenge. I... um... couldn't do it. What I did do was start at the top and use the negative (?) muscles to let myself down slowly. But no matter what, I couldn't push back up...

Hey, gang, only ONE MORE DAY TO HARDCORE! I am jealous of you, Christine. I'm gonna be comin' to your house! (To paraphrase Tony!) Cardio today for me... back to Step Blast, but I was a lot weaker than I was Tuesday because of my big leg workout yesterday. Still, it was fun! Okay...

Hey, Wendy, I did a heavy leg workout today, too. I went really heavy and already I can feel my leg muscles stiffening up. Maybe I should do that P90X stretch tonight. I can hardly wait to get Cathe's Stretch Max. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS TILL HARDCORE ARRIVES!

Hey, all! I did Step Blast all the way through without breaking my neck! Hooray! Actually, I did Step Blast and then some, because that third combo always messes me up and I did it twice to get it right. I had to modify because I was tired (like plain old repeaters instead of those fast...

Ima, I think that fast pace is a man thing. I see guys at the gym, and they pound out the reps as fast as they can. A lot of times it's lousy form, too. And then I go in there and go slow and steady...I must look like a zombie in comparison. Zombie Weight-Training, that's me. Christine, I...

I ordered mine August 1, and I haven't got my shipping notice yet. So it'll be a while for me, too.

Yikes! I have a serious case of push-up envy. I did LOTS more knee pushups today in Chest & Back than I have since I started. My muscles are coming back more quickly after my one-year hiatus than they originally took to build up a couple of years ago. Is that muscle memory or is that just...

Dom, I got my 20 lb and 25 lb dumbbells at Sports Authority. The heavier ones (my DH uses) we got from a fitness store near us that sells workout machines. Ladies, I USED to be able to do pushups on my toes, but not right now. I can tell you this: I can do ONE to failure! Maybe next week...

Ima, you ARE gonna kick our asses. Sheesh! My visualization of you is the energizer bunny (only with a better body). Hooray, Christine! I'm still on my knees. Wendy and everybody else, I've read at VF that Tony grates on people, but I think he's funny. "You want big GUNS?" Yeah, Tony...

Hey all, real quick... I had cardio today but being short on time and remembering my last cardio fiasco I did an easy/quick one: Step & Intervals. See you tomorrow!

Ima, I will become a Hardcore Deviant in the P90X check-in the moment those DVDs arrive. Just anybody try and kick me out! For me, P90X is just a crutch to bust my rut, because I could never follow it as it was planned. Not enough weight training for the legs and I don't like the cardio...

What Ruppie said.

I did Chest & Back and Ab Ripper. Whoa baby, that's a workout. I feel like I've improved some, though, from last week! RACH, here are the breakdowns. You are supposed to as many as you can on the pull-ups and push ups. Just set a goal, they say, and do it. For the other exercises he...

My big plans were for Imax2 today. Ha! Imax2 laughed at my big plans. It spit at my big plans. It kicked those big plans into the dirt and covered them up. It BURIED those plans. I did six intervals and then pushed that SKIP button on my DVD controller until it brought me to the cool...

Christine, you are so on top of things! I too, did not sleep well. Getting up I dreaded working out but I did it because I didn't want to break my rut-breaking trend. Getting started is the hardest part. The next hardest is to keep going when you are tired and sore. Either way, walking...

I hope some others chime in to help you, but here are my opinions: Pure Strength is a good series, but in my opinion not as good as Slow & Heavy or the Pyramids. Another thing: Cathe says you shouldn't do Slow & Heavy too long because it requires a lot of concentration that's difficult to...

Hello all! Did YogaX today as planned. When I've done P90X before, I always substituted Yoga Zone flexibility tapes no longer than 30 minutes, so this was a real eye-opener for me. "Vinyasa" is now my favorite word because it meant I could do that belly stretch, about the only post I could...

Found the clip: http://www.beachbody.com/text/content/products/p90x/create/entry07/index.html Turns out Dreya is married to the guy writing the fitness journal. Edited to add: Okay, after watching the clips again, I want to retract my statement about Tony being insecure. I see...

I did "Shoulders and Arms" today. My arms are fried! What's the use of those "Crouching Cohen Curls"? I tried to find them on the internet but could only find regular Cohen Curls, and they're never described as done while crouching. I just did regular Cohen Curls. :* Re: Dreya & Tony...
