I just wish it wasn't so damn long.

I just do the first half. I don't do the balance postures. If you just do the vinyasa moves it's about 50 minutes long.

Haha I suck at the balance postures. The end of the dvd has some solid core/ab work though (but its not like we don't get enough of that through core syn, and ab ripper x)

For you guys that are drinking a lot of protein shakes and smoothies now that you are doing this program, I have to recommend this machine I just picked up off of amazon.com.

 

It's manufactured by a company called Breville, which makes a lot of high-end small appliances such as blenders, juicers, panini makers, etc. I know a lot of you guys are in college still so you don't have the money to waste, but for you older guys who have some spare cash laying around from tax day or whatever, check this machine out. I bought mine refurbished, which actually seems brand new, to be honest. Breville Blender

 

This thing has a smoothie function that is just absolutely marvelous. It can make soups and all sorts of other drinks as well, such as margaritas and granitas and the like. Mine came earlier this week and I am already in love with the thing.

 

A very good tool if you're trying to watch your nutrition while doing an exercise program such as P90X.

Did core syn in 80 degree room today, drenched in sweat.

eh yoga was meh. Definitely throwing some cardio with it next week.

Did my first Shoulders, tris, and chest workout today. It was pretty badass. Can't really do the one arm pushups though...

I just do them on my knees...

 

How funny is that Bill guy? You can tell he totally thinks Tony is a showoff...

Down with Legs & Back...Day 75, I say goodbye!

legs and back, i was drenched afterwards.

See I'm the same way.. And if anything.. I would KILL to have a Bowflex waaay more than P90X.

 

I need some structured program to keep me on task. It works great with the program though (I can even use the frame for pull-ups) and gives me a wide range of resistances to choose.

Tony gets pretty insane on those clap pushups...

Yeah, he does, those are sick. I don't think I will ever be able to do those...

I loved Kenpo, easily my fav. great sweat while looking forward to the next move.

I'm taking a few days to get some stuff accomplished. Applying for jobs and whatnot.

Ok, looks like I'm going to give this a shot. Gotta gather some equipment this week.

 

Question for those with experience:

 

My softball league starts in about 2 weeks. We play Thursday nights. How sore will I be? How should I schedule the workouts so that I can play ball? Should I make Thursday the rest day? Any suggestions?

You will be sore for about 1 week.

 

If you start on a Monday, your Thursday will be Yoga day, which would work just fine with your softball game being that evening.

Your soreness will also flip around from place to place on your body depending on the week. Core syn will trample your lower back, plyo will destroy your hammies, etc.

Week 2 seems much easier than the first week now that I know what to expect. I'd definitely say it takes about a week before the soreness is not all that bad.

Knocked out CST tonight with the dumbbells for the first time. I actually think I like this particular workout with the bands better, just because i think it is easier to keep better form with the bands than with weights considering all the awkwards triceps work involved.

 

Today was day 78.

Well, all my equipment is on its way, should be starting Monday if everything goes as planned.

You need to post some before/after pics. I would imagine you look significantly different than you did 78 days ago.

Will do, J4L...only another few weeks...

Ugh, my diet has been terrible and coupling that with my rest week and I feel like s***. I decided I am going to extend my system another 30 days after phase 3.

The awkward exercises will help you with the stabilizing muscles. It will work you out real nice in due time.
