Nah, there's no way to get rid of them directly; you can't spot reduce. Just keep up the work with diet and cardio and caloric deficit and it'lleventually come off. I used to have them too, not as big, but I had them for sure.

I recommend Jay Robb Whey Protein (can be found at Whole Foods or online) and Biogenessis Ultra High Protein bars.
Since you're in college, a must-buy (if you already don't have one) is a George Foreman Grill. I bought one before I started P90X. It cost about $20 atK-Mart and it's a great way to prepare simple meals.
I know how tough it is to eat on campus, but if you have time, prepare food in the morning and take it with you.

Quick question, do you guys follow the order to a tee?
Because I don't want to do plyometrics or leg exercises on Wednesdays because I play basketball on Thursdays and want to rest my legs.
It shouldn't be a problem to substitute another workout in it's place right? Like Kenpo X in place of plyometrics?
Also, if I do not want to do Yoga X, can I just substitute a 30-40 minutes run instead?
It should be better than Yoga X right? At least burning calories-wise.

Of the "non" lifting routines in P90X, Yoga X is my favorite. It's tough and challenging, but that's the reason I love doing it. IMO, if youdon't want to do Plyo, do Yoga X instead.
So instead of using a run to substitute for Yoga X, just use it in place of Kenpo X, which is somewhat useless IMO.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I rather enjoy Kenpo X though, that is why I like it.
My problem with Yoga X is that it is too long.
With most of these routines, about 15-20 minutes are stretching, which I avoid so it cuts the time of the routinea to 35-45 minutes instead of an hour each.
But the Yoga X is a complete routine of about 1.5 hours.
I just don't have the time to do it. I'll try and fit it in my weekend activities if possible but I prefer a shorter routine if possible.
Just curious, why do you say it is useless?
I find it a good substitute to running, especially when I get home late and it is too dark to run outside, although I feel like I sweat more and lose morecalories with running.
I do not have the cardio X, is it more intense than the Kenpo X?
Also, substituting or switching up an arm routine from a leg routine should be no problem right? As long as the routines are done at least once in a week?

Hey guys, just finished week 1. Burnt out but feel great at the same time. Plyo was BY FAR the hardest one. Not only was my feet and legs taking a crazypounding I also I started to get the feeling that I was gonna throw up. I couldn't even finish it. My friend told me that it had something to do with myblood sugar level dropping. Eating a candy when I got that feeling made it go away.

Recovery is just as important as the workout, your muscles are now growing bigger and stronger from all the wear and tear from the past 3 weeks.

I just ordered it for $39.98 and absolutely cannot wait to start the program...
Am I supposed to be receiving 12 dvds? How does this work? They are all labeled with different muscle exercises, where do I start?
Should I wait until I have dumbbells and a chin up bar purchased before I start the program?

Those are questions that all can be answered in their main website or a simple google search.
