You'll be popping off back-2-back-2-back tens before you know it. When I started doing pull-ups, I could barely do 3 total. I'm doing 13, 12 and then 10 in 3 sets now (60+ during the Chest/Back workout). Stick to it and use a chair to help. Find that burn each set.
Maybe it's just me and my puny fingers, but I can do more with the padded bars of my Iron Gym than the metal bars in my workout room. Try wrapping a towel around the bar...see if that helps.

I like seeing this thread active. My favorite is Plyo too - it's far from easy to get through, but you feel so good when you're done. I get to do that one tomorrow.  I saw someone said they burned over 900 cal on plyo. I only burned 511 last week - is it normal for a female to burn less? Anyone know?
I like core too - don't you do the Dreya roll after just finishing something really exhausting?
bring it!
thats me i average 700-900 cals burned during plyo, but i'm an army ranger and i get a little to into this stuff..i yell at tony and dom telling them they're weak and they can't keep up with me..so i might now be a realistic example.  you should aim a little higher on cals though..depends on your diet and what percentage you are in deficit etc. that determines really what you should be aiming at burning during your workouts.
I really don't need to lose weight, maybe 5 to 7 pounds is all I'd look to drop.. Today I purposely tried to push a little harder and burned 537 cal. I just started my second round last Tues, so I'm still getting back to where I finished last time - maybe as I can get more intense on each section I'll burn more. Thanks for replying.
Dom is insane on the Jump Knee Tucks!
yeah jump knee tucks suck...i used to do those with an 85lb rucksack on my back..lol

...speaking of Plyo, I just finished the entire Plyometrics routine without modifying a single move (PLUS the bonus round). The Jump Knee Tucks don't kill me so much, it's the Squat Jacks & Run-Stance Squat 180 Switch Pick-Up's. Those two KILL me...and they're so late in the routine!
My next goal is every Yoga move without modifying.

Arms are very sore this morning. My girlfriends' daughter has been off school the last two days sick and my girlfriend came down with it yesterday. This morning I woke up with an ear ache and scratchy throat so I'm doctoring up on cough drops and will deal with it through yoga. As an FYI, I'm 4.5 weeks into this and have dropped 5 notches on my belt. Two more and I'm either punching new holes or investing in a new belt.

My leg uscles are still sore from my Monday attempt at the plyo routine.

Don't be a cheap ass...buy a new belt. Nothing worse than the floppy belt end wrapped half way around your waist.

But it's fashionable to wear your pants half way down your rear these days isn't it?

I think that went out of style a few years ago AND the wearer had to be under 30 to pull it off. Of course, it also might have been the worst fashion fad of all time.
Plus, I would think it would be a fun purchasing a new smaller belt. It would be a way to officially move on.

This morning was Shoulders & Arms/Ab RipperX for me.
That Daniel Haas is such a cutie!
I don't know if I'm allowed to mention another website here...but an FYI for anyone watching their diet, check out livestrong.com You can enter your age, weight, and whether you are trying to gain,lose or maintain. Under the daily plate you can enter everything you eat and drink. Their database has every food imaginable listed by brand, restaurant, etc. You can also enter your workout and it will give you an idea of how many calories you need to each day to reach your goal. I know it's not going to be 100% accurate, but it's a great way to track things.
In order to keep track of my p90x workouts, I've just been wearing my heart monitor everyday and then entering the calories burned off of that.

Can't say that I agree  ....but Audrey is a nice motivation tool to get through the Ab Ripper routine. The new woman on the P90X Plus discs is just plain annoying. She is smiling ALL THE TIME.
Has anyone done every move on the Yoga DVD? I'm close. The leg lift moves near the 50-min mark kill me (as well as the Wheel).

I'm afraid of the Yoga DVD, I am have NEVER been able to touch my toes. I have long legs, making it an extreme stretch for me. And holding some of the yoga positions or any amount of time scares me.

Try it out. There aren't many moves that call for touching of the toes. In fact, there is always a modified option. And over time, you might actually get to those toes. I know I've gotten a lot better over the last month.
Like I mentioned to ChicagoDawgFan, Tony says, "I can do things at 45 I could never do, but it ain't because I do tons of pull-ups and push-ups, it's because I do Yoga." Something to think about.
I originally didn't want to do Yoga because I thought it was lame and "girly". I soon realized that it was no joke. It's actually a very good workout. I was in a sloppy sweat the first few times I did the routine. There were parts of my body I didn't know that could be sore after a workout....and they were!

I agree - the yoga dvd may be the most brutal for me. There is no way I can do every move. My balance is horrible - it is definitely a work in progress, but I have gotten better every time I do it.
Hey Punch - did it take you long to get through the whole AbRipperX without a break? It took me almost the whole 90 days the first time I did the program.

At first, I wasn't able to even do all 12 moves (even one rep per move). After about 12-14 times, I'm really close to doing all 25 reps per move. I still have to drop my legs every once and a while but I'll fight to get all 25 reps.
I don't really know where I am in the program though. I completed the first 30 days then broke my pinky toe. So that had me on the couch for 3-4 weeks. When I came back, I did a week+ of random workouts (Chest/Shoudlers/Tri, Core, Plyo, Back/Biceps, Yoga, Legs/Back & Chest/Back) and then started the first 90-days again. Right now, I'm in the recovery week of the first month again. When I come back from my snowboarding trip on the 23rd, I hope to start month two.
Leadtheway suggested I start month two after my injury but I wanted to start over again with a month off. Plus, I did a few of the month two workouts in that warmup week, so there was muscle confusion involved. And heck, as long as you're mixing up your routines, I think that's all that counts (well, working your butt off and sticking to a diet too). I'm sure we could sneak in a few of the Plus workouts into the basic schedule too.

Cardio X...DONE (at 3:45am)! Complete Legs, Back & Ab Ripper tonight and the first week of "doubles" will be done.
I'll be interested to see what the scale says tomorrow after a week of double workouts and two rounds of plyo in a week.
Have a GREAT day all and, as always, BRING IT !!!

Plyometrics, the MOTHER, DONE! According to my heart rate monitor, I burned 1081 calories in this 50+ minute workout.
Just got done eating some tasty whole wheat pancakes w/sugar free syrup, 2 veggie sausage patties, a banana and some coffee....YUM!
The last few days have been difficult with an ear ache, scratchy throat and congestion. I have sleep apnea and sleeping with the CPAP mask wasn't easy last night with all of the nasal congestion.
Will be heading out later to check the bodyweight. I think Ill actually cash in my rest day tomorrow. I'm beat up.

Wow-that's a ton of calories! Saturday when I did Legs & Back and Ab Ripper I burned 663 - which is more than I've done with Plyo. One legged wall squats kill me! Those 10 seconds per leg seem like an hour. I think I need to bring a little more intensity to Plyo when I do it Wednesday. Today is my rest day.

Dang, I can't even do those for a second. My other leg doesn't straighten out. And there's way too much pressure on something in my weight-supported knee (too much skateboarding through high school I suppose). I just do two-leg wall squats for the whole time, I figure it's about the same.

After I saw the comments on here about calories burned I started keeping tabs on my heartrate monitor (watch). I burned 707 this morning at 4am doing Cardio X (I started doubles in week 4) and over 700 the other day doing only an hour of yoga.
I'll be interested to see how much I burn tonight during chest, shoulders, tri's and Ab Ripper.
Finally think I got rid of the crud I had over the weekend so I'm rejuvenated after sleeping in and taking a rest day yesterday.
My pants are falling off.

Are those calorie counters accurate? A treadmill in my building says I burn just under 400 calories for a 5K run (23 minutes). Since most P90X routines are around 60 minutes, I suppose burning 700-1000 would be close to the above numbers. Although, running for 23 straight minutes is harder than a full Kenpo routine in my opinion (can't say the same for Plyo of course). Heck, even the Kenpo Plus routine was a little slow for me too.
I know I should keep track of my daily intake of calories but I get busy with other things (wife, baby girl, work, cleaning, cooking, sleep, Browns, Indians, Cavs...).
Just for kicks, I wanted to see how much I could bench over the weekend. My previous best was 165 three times 2-3 weeks ago (I weighed 155 at the time). I was able to bench 175 three times AND 185 once. I probably could have done 185 twice but I didn't have a spotter so I stopped. My goal for the end of April was to bench my weight+30% three times. That would be 208(I'm 160). We'll see...
Speaking of my weight, I've gained about 5 pounds in the past two weeks. Leadtheway's diet plan seems like it's working. I'm a little worried about the percentage of fat to muscle but we'll see how that goes. I should be adding Cardio every morning to combat that anyway (I usually have 1-2 mornings a week where I run). Maybe I can do Cardio X twice, Kenpo twice and then run on a treadmill once. Heck, I can also do the Interval training disc too.

Seriously, Punch - I can do them, but I still get the shakes toward the end. I try to go to my cave (Fight Club) and think about something else in order to get through it. And I don't look at the clock - it seems to go slower when I do.
Devil - I started wearing my heart monitor during every workout now too. I was shocked at the calories burned doing yoga - I mean it's tough for me, and I sweat like crazy, but I just figured it didn't burn many cals. I wish I had time to do doubles - although I'm still losing weight just doing classic.

This past week (week 5) was the first week I dropped zero pounds. I was surprised, but not concerned, because I started doubles and replaced Kenpo with a second day of plyo.
I've been told that you'll see results in days 1-60 but "the magic happens" between days 61-90. I already know that I will not have the body that I want until around July 17th when I will have completed my second round of P90X (possibly P90X Plus).

You're right. When I completed the first 90 days, I was thrilled with the results, but thought my abs could still be better. After talking with others who did p90x, they said a lot of people make it a 120 day program instead of 90 to get the maximum results. I didn't do that, but did keep doing the dvd's about 4 days a week - just doing my own mix of workouts. Then I took about a month off altogether.
I expect that after my second round, which I will have done about May 1st, I should look about as good as I can. Just in time for summer!

I can see the results in the mirror already. I've even had a few people at work say something to me too. And I think their comments are even more valid because friends and family might fib a bit.
With that being said, I still don't see massive changes. I'll just have to keep plugging away. When I get to day 60 and 90, we'll see. If I can mix in some Doubles days in month 2 (starting the 23rd), I think I see more things happen.
At least I know I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm at the top in respects to running, pushups, pullups and ab work. And I'm 35 (almost 36).

running constant for 30 minutes compared to doing say plyo or keno plus (if you are bringing it) and especially interval X, won't compare very well in terms of difficulty, you may think its harder to run than to do the routines, and it may very well be physically. But the key is the movement and the heartrate. I used to be a long distance runner ( army 10 miler team) and after about 20-30 minutes your body reaches a benefit plateau, where interval training give much more fitness per minute. Running is a low-quality exertion exercise, where as kenpo, interval and plyo are high level( using more muscle groups). Like right now, for my Cardio i do a HIIT routine that will bury the mere mortal..lol, if anyone would like a go of it, PM or e-mail me an i'll give you my cardio routine if you're looking for the extra kick in the ass

Great googly moogly...did chest, shoulders, tri's & Ab Ripper last night and the calorie counter on my watch said I burned 1320 calories between the two workouts.
I burned 707 during Cardio X in the AM plus tonight's work equals 2000+ calories burned for the day? That can't be right, can it?

Yeah this thread is a great motivator.
I haven't officially started the routine yet, still waiting on my bands to come and have to figure out what to do for a chin-up bar, my den (where I do the workout) is a double door, so the over the door bars wont work.
I could move to the garage, but the summer workouts would be brutal in 95 deg heat and 100% humidity. Maybe the bedroom, the closet door would be perfect for it, and I think I got the room on my side of the bed (7x12 open space) to do the workouts.
Anyway, on Sunday, I got the wife to do the Yoga with me, she used to go weekly, but quit a couple years ago. I only got through about 30 mins, could have gone little more, but I'm not a flexible person with long legs, so it was really rough, I was sweating like a pig in a butcher shop.
I took about a 5 min break then did 30 mins of the plyo disc as well. My shouldes were sore Monday from the Yoga, and still a little tender today, but I still did my arms routine at the gym this morning anyway. Shoulder is definitely better, and I think probably close to 100% and ready for full workout now.
But it's great reading how everyone is doing, and what they think of it. I know the first time I tried the program I felt it hard core, and I focused on the chest/arms and abs discs then. Can't wait to get a full start soon.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

Man, you guy are making me want to try this ... The part I like about it is it makes no allusions to the fact that you have to work hard to achieve the benefits. An hour a day will make the love-handles go away. Or something to that effect

It's also designed for you to work at YOUR level. If it gets to be too much, just press "pause" until you catch your breath. You're just always looking for constant improvement and week by week, day by day, you'll see it.

Definitely stick with it. The first week I was exhausted and felt like I'd been hit by a truck, but it does get easier and you WILL get in shape.

I'm not going to say that it will get "easier" but you will get past that initial soreness. Just stick with it through the first couple of weeks and you won't regret it.

I was prepared for the initial soreness, maybe because I had been working out for a while on my own already. Of course, this program is 2 times harder than anything I was doing before.
I was shocked at how often I wanted to throw up while doing the routines the first few times. I swear, it took me the 3rd time to get through Chest & Back without sitting by the trash can for a few minutes near the end of the routine. That was the hardest one for me. Constant pushing and pulling for 45 minutes. Before the DVD's, I'd probably workout 15-20 minutes for both muscle groups and not really push myself either. It's easy to see the difference it what I should have been doing all this time.*
If you really push yourself, obviously not too hard, you'll be physically and emotionally crushed at the end of each DVD. And as bad as that sounds, it's really the best feeling to have.
*I know I sound like a sheep from the P90X infomercial's. Listen, I don't live and die by these dics as if they've saved my soul. They gave me the structure, pace and format so I could easily follow along. And it may sound stupid, but Tony's little reminders throughout the discs help me stay focused. Otherwise, I'd be watching TV, talking to someone in the room or daydreaming. Overall, it works for me.

The workouts are becoming much more fluid for me.
I'll be interested to see how tonight (back & biceps) and Friday (legs & back) go. The back-to-back pullups workouts left me wanting to cut off my arms at the elbows in week 5. Hopefully my body will have adjusted.

Began chest/back today. Just finished about an hour ago. My arms are jelly. Haven't worked out regularly since last summer. I burned myself out doing those pull ups and push ups. Couldn't begin p90x earlier because of travel and unfortunately, I leave again tomorrow until Sunday. Will stick to it though. Will get a dvd in tomorrow, and one on either Sunday evening or Monday morning.
That woman on the dvd kicked my arse.

Almost done with week 6 on this. My time has flown by. I'm already looking forward to round 2.

Started Saturday, my 2nd try at it. Chest and Back, Ab ripper X (Couldn't get all the way through, I hit failure with 3 positions left)
Surprisingly, it's not my abs that hurt, it's the joint at my hip/thigh is tight as heck. I looked like a robot walking yesterday, still a bit sore today, but manageable.
Was supposed to do Plyo yesterday, but after spending 2.5hrs cutting, sawing, and swinging an axe, to get a tree and stump out, I just didn't have it in me, but I figure hacking away at that tree stump for a solid 45 minutes, squatting, kneel, swinging full, swinging half, yanking, pulling, and lugging all the debris to the road was enough. =)
I got my bands in, but I am going to have to put in a hook somewhere for sure, I need a steeper angle to get a better effect when using them for the chin-up replacement.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

Ab Ripper X will reek havoc on the legs/hip flexors for awhile I've noticed. Week 7 commences as I've already completed Cardio X at 3:45am. I have chest, shoulders, tri's and ARX tonight. Dropped another notch on my belt loop. That makes 6.
