P90X Discussion

Im glad you enjoy it. Its relaxing, I just have limited time, and it takes a lot of practice to get that stuff right.


Day 3 -- Done! I forgot how hard ab ripper was.

 

[bbear017]

I just bought it off amazon. Me and my GF have been thinking about picking it up for awhile now. I'm not in horrible shape to begin with, but I could usethe workouts. I'm looking forward to the yoga sessions the most. As good as shape I'm in right now, I'm not very flexible. I plan on starting it upas soon as I get it in the mail. I already have a pull up bar and I just ordered some resistance bands. Do I need any DBs? I have a old set of 15lb DBs lyingaround. Will I have to buy more or will bands work well w/the workouts?

 

[chewtoy112]

I dunno how well bands will work. So far in my workouts, I've used as low as 5lb dumbells and as high as 65lb dumbells, and literally every increment inbetween.

Yo, I didn't check-in yesterday but Shoulders and Arms got done, I promise. I worked out with my boy, and that makes a big difference. Yoga today, I'ma bit intimitaded by it but "be about it, or be without it" ill be checking-in later. Let's get it. Day 4. Holla.

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Yoga X has to be the most frustrating workout of the bunch. Hopefully after a couple weeks I can be more flexible so I'm not falling all over the place.Like I said before, the diet is the hardest part of the program. The hour plus workouts aren't a picnic, but having to control your urges for 12+ hours isan exercise in will power.

By the way, for the people that procured P90X the "alternative" way, is anyone else using the Excel spreadsheet? Since I use my laptop for theexercises, it becomes such a convenient tool (instead of having to write everything down).

Also, I'm thinking about looking into the bands. The chin-up bar is just inconvenient to use.

^ illmatic .. what up? we gonna have summit for transformers?

anyways.. ab ripper is getting a lot easier now ( its still hard ) but im able to get through without breaks now

Same request, but cheapest one. Also where best pull up bar for the money?

 

[maxi320]

You can usually find a cheap pull up bar at a TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

Its Friday Day 5. Legs and back I believe. It gonna be tough for some people to work out, b/c they want to go out at night. Get to the workout ASAP. Eat beforeyou go out to avoid drunk munchies. Dont drink too much beer, if any.

Good luck

[datznasty]

http://www.nutraplanet.co...-protein-blend-5-lb.html google thecode, looks like they rose the price. But I just ordered mine like a week ago, so maybe my code was 20% + free shipping. Either way, that's a great pricefor 5lbs

 

[mr kuter]

Yesterday was my first time doing Kenpo and it was pretty good on the cardio. I sweated a good deal. I have to make up my Legs and Back day today, which mighthurt me since chest and back is tomorrow. C'est la vie.

 

[youngmoney]
