Starting P90X on Monday - anyone want to join a fresh rotation

If anyone is interested in starting a rotation of P90X, I need a partner in crime! I am going to do the classic rotation, 90 days and start Monday, 1/24.

I wish more than anything in the world I could join you but I don't have it! I want it so bad! Everyday I think more and more about getting it and spending money I can't afford to but I am trying to hold out for Hardcore. I know if I order P90X, it will get here the same day as Hardcore!

Keep us updated, I'd love to here your feed back and tracking of your progress!

How do you feel about a P90X rotation where you have one partner in crime (that would be me) who might trade some of the P90X titles for Cathe titles?

I couldn't get into Cardio X or Kenpo or even that Yoga one, and I felt like the lower body title wasn't that effective for me, but I liked the other titles.

I do need a check-in or something to keep me honest. I've been slackiing on and off for about a year! But committing exclusively to P90X would be HARD, especially with the Hardcores coming out!
 
Hey Christine -

I ABSOLUTELY will do this with you -- I just in fact posted that I've been slacking hardcore while waiting for hardcore (pun intended!)... I definitely have been playing around with the idea of starting a P90X rotation again (though the last one I followed I wasn't too strict). I have told myself that would be silly to start it if hardcore will be coming soon, but if I had someone to motivate with maybe I'll be able to do it!!
Have you ordered Cathe's hardcore too?
Either way, I'd definitely like to start the classic with you Monday!

Also - I've never done a rotation with anyone online like this before - it would be interesting!!! I think it would help to have someone to 'talk' to during it!
 
Amazon & Ruppie - Welcome Aboard!

Amazon - I don't mind at all if you sub in Cathe or other workouts during the rotation. I intend to sub in some videos and/or gym classes as well for cardio and some variety. For the phase one, I intend to go to my gym (advanced step) class on Tuesdays instead of the P90X Plyo workout. My poor knees can't take an hour of Plyos. :( I also thought that maybe every other kickbox workout I could sub in some Cathe KPC or CK.

Ruppie - I did order Hardcore (and I can't wait!) but when it finally gets here, it will have to sit until I am finished with this 90 day rotation. That will make me even more excited to start it! I am in a little rut too and I want to start something new and scheduled to get me going again. Hopefully, this will be it.

My email is [email protected]. Email me and we can get either a check in started here or do it via email.

If anyone else wants to join, let's start Monday!

:) Christine

Can we do it here? You can call our checkin "The Rut Busters!" Are there checkins at Cathe.com?

Hahhaha! I just sent Christine an email -
But whether we check in here or via email I don't care!! Just make sure you give me a REAL HARD TIME if I start slacking off!! hahaha
 
RE: Starting P90X on Monday - anyone want to join a fre...

I don't think that there is a check in board here but I guess if we want to keep it public, we could do it here in OC. I checked the rotations board but didnt see any check ins there and I know some other groups check in here.

It doesn't matter to me if we do it here or via email. It just may be easier via email so the post doesn't get kicked to the bottom (since there are only three of us).

Wadda ya say, girls? Posting or email....?

I like that - the rut busters!

Hey future RUT BUSTERS!!

Amazon, would you mind doing the email group thing? Just so we're not tying up the open boards?
 
I wish i could join in but i dont have it at this moment. because a couple of weeks ago i order the hardcore. and i am so scare of spending more money. pls, let me know how thing turn out to be. because i really interested in a workout that u could do a lot of reps.
 
By "email group thing" do you mean, just by e-mail? Or joining a Yahoo group or something?

If you all can do e-mail, I can do e-mail.

Dominican, don't spend any more money! I don't have that classic rotation handy right now, but maybe Christine can tell us what days you do upper body and what days you do lower, or yoga, or cardio... and then you can sub with the titles you own.
 
I have the rotation at home but I am at work right now. Dominican - let me know if you want it and I will post it this weekend for you!

Amazon - we thought it might be better to just do a check in via staight email (not a board or group or anything). We can just mail each oterh and make sure to "reply to all" each time. Sound good?
 
Would anyone be opposed to me joining "rut busters" a few weeks into the program? I just ordered P90X a few days ago. Once I receive it, I want to take a day to look at everything. When I ordered, it said it would take a few weeks to arrive. Please tell me it will get here sooner!!!
 
It may come sooner than you think....I ordered resistence bands on Tues. and they came this morning!!!

If you are interested in getting them sooner, call them and ask about shipment options. When I oredered, the express was $14 MORE than the regular. I hit it by mistake and then called to cancel it b/c I thought it was $14 period and that was only $6 more than the $9 that I was going to pay anyway but $23 was ridiculous! When I canceled they gave me a third option. I paid another $3 and got it sooner but that option was not listed on the website when I ordered! I hope this makes sense..

And no, no objection at all to your joining later on my end. The first 3 qeeks are the same rotation so even if you start a week or two later, you'll be with us for a week or so and then you will catch up again later. The phases go in four week cycles...three weeks of the samet hing, then an active rest..then another three weeks of the same cycle and a fourth of active rest...then another three weeks of the sam with another fourth rest. I didn't know this until I got my order but it is perfect for late joiners b/c it repeats for several weeks.

Alright!! This is great! The more the merrier!! We can ALL encourage each other to keep at it!! I really think that's the best way to get through a long rotation successfully!

Christine, since you started up the rut busters, would you mind heading up getting the group email started? Since your email is already out there, maybe the people interested can email you initially, and then you can add them all onto our email list, and we'll go from there?

This is great! I'm so fired up!
 
I just may join the rut busters. I've ordered Hard Core, but I received P90X last week and am anxious to get started. I need the band, but will start any way. I'm going to do the lean rotation. I need to lose those last 5 to 8 lbs. and this seems to be the way to go for me. Using this board would be easiest for me. Let me know. I'd love to join you!

Hi Christine and all others,
I would like to join the group and start with you on Monday.

Sabine
 
I think the hardest part with this group is going to be all the support we will need once Hardcore comes! P90X may start to collect dust if we don't work together and offer up some serious support. I really think putting Harcore on hold will be more difficult than refusing chocolate! It won't be TOTALLY on hold, though...right?
