September 21, 201015 yr So a friend wanted to go P90 so I started over with him today. Day 1, chest and back, ARX.
October 1, 201015 yr Sorry havent been documenting my progress monday-5 mile run tues-chest and back wed-plyo thurs-S&A Today-insanity core power and cardio
October 7, 201015 yr three days ago i started p90x with my girl friend; we're doing the lean version. needless to say it has kicked my ass but i love every second of it. in addition to p90x i ride a bike 6 miles a day and have decent three day long distance running regime in place. I'm 6'4 and my weight is 288 pounds, i don't need muscle mass as i've had plenty of it in the past im just looking to trim down and get tone. Also we have both changed our diets to phase I cold turkey pun intended. wish me luck as of today i am 25 and looking to get into as good of shape as i was in senior year hs.
October 14, 201015 yr If there is a hell on earth, it's definitely the plyo from p90x. Torture but got it done yesterday. Also sparred, ran a few miles and did the p90x core work out today, a lot easier than the plyo.

I have to take breaks out of sheer exhaustion at times, but so do the people on the video. Plyo was cake tonight other than a small hammy tweak.
December 1, 201015 yr Back on the saddle this week after a few months off. Umm...wow, soreness...but definitely enjoying feeling good throughout the day again...
December 16, 201015 yr Ok, so because I was getting bored with P90X, I joined a gym that has alot of the same type workouts, but with changes and someone other than Tony leading them. Weeek 2 for me at this gym and feeling awesome and much more motivated than before!!

Weeek 2 for me at this gym and feeling awesome and much more motivated than before!! My dad got me a gym membership for hannukah. If I could just cut the beer out of my diet I think I'd be exactly where I want to be within a month. That being said, that's not happening anytime soon and I'm still damn close, I'm at 185(with not a lot of body fat, not sure what exactly but I'm judging by abs showing and what not) and think I'll be at exactly my goal by spring break at the latest.
January 3, 201115 yr Ahh, back at it again today. And not too proud of the shape I am in after taking most of the holidays off. It's definitely easier to get back into this after you've done it before, but yikes, am I out of shape.
January 4, 201115 yr I'm probably going to sell my bands and weights at some point since I think P90X has run its course with me. I am really in love with my local gym that does very similar functional strength programs.

It will be called P90X:MC2 I think it's going to pull the best of the workouts from the One on One series and make it into the new P90X program.

I am really in love with my local gym that does very similar functional strength programs. Ya, I'm pretty much the same way. I still do the ab ripper on core days but that's about it, definitely addicted to my gym. And I was very surprised that the holidays didn't kick my ass. I ate like s*** for most of the Christmas week but still got my work outs in and actually lost some more weight somehow. Down to 180, making it an even 50 pounds I've lost since last year. Not bad.

I've found a gym that does very similar workouts and I love being able to get over there and do something different all the time. Plus its two blocks away. P90 was great for me for a few years and I really got started doing workouts that finally gave me results, but I think my days of working out in this condo are finished.

I'd keep the stuff if you have the room though...you never know when you might want/need to go back to it...

I see alot of people struggling with this during our training sessions, and I am barely hurting at all.
