Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I saw a guy friend of mine last night who I hadn't seen in like six months. He has been doing p90x and you can see a visible difference. He's probably down three inches and wasn't " fat " before. h'es ripped and cut and you can even see the difference in his face.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well here's the thing, that's EXACTLY how I feel! I have the entire P90X series at home but I prefer to go to the gym and work out with other folks! It's just much more fun to listen to the other fat people grunt and groan. I just like sharing those noises instead of keeping them to myself. LOL We all get a good laugh out of each other. Go to www.youtube.com/seansymons and you can see some of our classes. We're a laugh riot. On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 11:30 AM, Osorio, Debbie wrote: > P90X is on my wishlist. Not that I've had much luck with working out at > home LOL.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 My friend Dan did it. It took him and his wife a lot longer than the recommend weeks, but they looked AWESOME and ripped when they were done. Him more than her, and I think that's because he went with the program more and she did more aerobics and less weights. She is doing more weights now.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have done a lot of P90X workouts and ended up with a modified rotation using just the weight workouts (alternated with running HIIT). They're GREAT! Definitely modify. And get out of your own way as far as what you can accomplish - probably a lot more than you think. > > > Holy crap!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi Janine! Yes! It P90X is a kick butt workout. Each DVD is awesome. Just my two cents on putting it on the shelf - don't do it! I teach a very well attended, intense cardio-pump class at the local gym and I always have people who come in to try the class in the hopes of getting great results. When they start, I tell the to do as much as is comfortable (just short of puking) for them. On the plyometric portion of the workout, just to do what they can - especially in the beginning. I also tell them the only person they are competing against is themselves, since some people want to start at the level of the other participants who have been coming for more than two or three years. Long story short - I have some people who follow my advice and stick it out and keep coming to class. Each week I see them progress with more reps, more intense cardio, more endurance, etc. Then I see the people who give up, or the people who say " I will come back to your class once I am in better shape. " I usually see these people in the same shape and on the same treadmill week after week with very little progress. Keep it up! Do the modifications he suggests then add more reps or build the intensity each time you do the DVDs. You can't be disappointed as long as you really try. Play outside your comfort zone! Good luck to you! Lynette >>> " jslaga2002 " 4/22/2009 1:55 PM >>> Holy crap!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for all the advice, ladies! I'll try the modifications and just try not to get too discouraged if I still can't get through the workouts. It just led to a hefty kick to my ego yesterday. :-( Follow-up: I went to bed early last night, after the workout, and spent all of today crouching over with the same horrible feeling in my stomach. One of my colleagues told me there's also a stomach bug going around school, so maybe it was just a horrible coincidence. ...In any case, off I go now to try P90X workout #2. Thanks for all your encouragement! - Janine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I do some p90x also the works are to hard for me to get through also. I handle it differntly from some of the other women but I just pause the dvd when I just can't continue rest a couple of minutes and jump back in. That has worked for me, Over time I could get through more and more of the work outs with having to pause for a break > > - Janine > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
