Do you guys do the Yoga X religiously? I'm just not a fan of it. I haven't gone through the whole thing - just got bored as hell about 20 minutes into an hour and a half Yoga workout. Does it get better? Is it worthwhile to stick to it?

Yup, I go all 90 minutes every time. Here's the deal, the first 45 minutes are yoga moves that really do push the entire body (trust me, it will benefit you), the middle 25 minutes are balance moves that are kind of fun and the last 20'ish minutes are abs and cool down. So, it's not very different than any other night if you were to do Chest/Back and then Abs. Ok, maybe it's a little longer but not that much longer.
I just went snowboarding in Colorado for three brutal days and I wasn't sore at all. I did Yoga and Core Synergistics twice in the same week leading up to my trip. They both prepared my legs and body for the mountain. Yes, I suppose the previous weeks Plyo and leg workouts helped too but Yoga and Core got my body ready for the slopes.
As far as the 45 minutes of actual yoga that bores you, it gets harder as you progress through the time. And if you don't feel the burn, you're not doing the move deep enough. I sweat like a pig when I'm doing yoga and my legs are on fire! Really get down into that squat…..and I do three pushups in-between each vinyasa and downward dog combo (Tony suggests one if you're up for it). And there's 15-16 combo's...That's 45-50 push-ups not counting the vinyasa's and DD. Heck, stay with the one push-up but do it VERY slow. You'll be sweating soon enough.
I actually want to add a 2nd Yoga routine per week. I'll need to run it by Leadtheway if that's possible (well, I suppose I can ask now:
Month 2 Schedule
Mon AM - Yoga X + Ab Ripper
Mon PM - Chest/Shoulder/Tri
Tue AM - Interval Plus
Tue PM - Plyometrics
Wed AM - Kenpo Plus + Ab Ripper
Wed PM - Back/Biceps
Thu AM - Cardio X
Thu PM - Yoga X
Fri AM - Interval Plus + Ab Ripper
Fri PM - Legs/Back
Sat AM - Plyometrics
Sat PM - Kenpo X
Sun - Rest
Is the Yoga on Mon too close to the Chest workout? Is the Plyo routine on Sat AM too close to the Legs/Back workout on Friday night?).

WOW! That's about 2-3 hours dedicated to this 6 days a week. Brutal. I don't mind the workout...just finding the time between work and life. I need my sleep too!

I think I can do it (even with a wife, a 15-month old and a fulltime job). It's about planning and getting to bed on time each night. Heck, the diet portion is the toughest part in my opinion (eating 8-9 times a day).
I wanted to move the AB Ripper DVD away from the M, W & F resistance workouts. It seems like I'm 100% spent by the time I'm done with the resistance portion. I think I'll do the ab routine more after I move it to the mornings.
The Plus DVD's, are mostly 45 minutes (and that includes the warmup and cool down). The Cardio X DVD, which is supposed to be done every morning, is only 45 minutes too.

I only got through about 30 mins of yoga before I was just spent. I'm tall and not very flexible, and the whole "kick your leg under" to go from the one position to warrior is just very difficult and tiring for me, but by the time I was just physically spent, I was able to get it up there without pulling with my hand, but the rest of me was just beat, so I stopped there.
I have hit the beginning of most of the discs, I still have Core and Stretch to go. Then probably next week I will start the program from the beginning.
I intended on starting this past week, but forgot we had company coming into town, so that throws off my whole schedule.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

yes and yes, those workouts are too close to your yoga and plyo. One or the other will suffer. But heres the deal. as long as you do the program first and then your additional double, then it won't be as bad that your double is less intense..If you want to do it that way, i'd swap the yoga and the plyo out...yoga and kenpo would be a great full body workout...likewise if you did plyo/chest/shoulders/tris. You could possibly be the first person i've had that actually wanted to do MORE yoga...

What do you guys do when you have a period of time where you know you won't be able to do the workouts. In late March, I have to go to Florida for my mom's wedding. Flying down on a Tuesday and staying until Monday - about a week without the workouts. It will be tough to do them down there, although I will try to do some type of workout.
Do you just pick up where you left off if you miss a few days (or a full week)? Or do you start from the beginning and ramp it up some?

I started this program before New Years, did a week and then got the flu for 3 days. I said to heck with it and started over. If that happened now (during week 7) I would just pick up where I left off. I guess it's just a personal preference.

The first time I went through the program I quit doing Yoga early on. I too thought it was boring and I had problems with my hands sliding on my mat.
This time I was committed to sticking with it and I must admit I have seen a huge improvement in my balance and flexibility. You should keep doing it....I think you will find it very beneficial!! Also, once you get used to doing it, it doesn't seem as long. At least for me.
And as far as going on vacation...last summer our family went away and stayed at a hotel. I brought the workouts with me and got up before everyone else to do them. The one thing I did do was move my "rest" day so I could have one day of not worrying about it, but that was brutal because then I had 8 days in a row of working out with no break.
That's just me though - I would have felt too guilty just not doing it for a week. Depending how far along you are, I'd probably continue where you left off.

At first I loathed yoga. It was my arch-nemesis. Now I really like it. I won't go as far as saying I "love" it.

Well, it depends on how long and what the trip is for. Like I mentioned above, I was on a Colorado snowboarding trip last weekend. Outside of a few push-ups here are there, I didn't bother working out due to being on the on a snowboard 21 hours in three straight days. My legs got a crazy workout. As soon as I came back, I continued where I left off.
If I'm visiting my family out-of-state, I'll bring the videos on my iPhone and try running through them in the morning before my shower. Not every workout translates well on the road (without dumbbells or resistance bands). Plyo, Kenpo, Cardio, Yoga, the chest portion of Chest/Back and Ab Ripper all work well. Heck, you could probably do Core Synergistics with some soup cans and a jug of milk.

Anyway, can I substitute a glass of lactose-free milk in it's place?

yeah that looks good, as far as the cheese goes, try this, just take a glass of lactose-free milk and put a scoop of whey in it, or maybe 3-5 egg whites..egg is a slow digesting protein too..so that's what you're going for

I had to laugh this morning. I bought a watch at Wal-mart awhile back which has a metal band. I'm either going to have to buy a tool to adjust it or go back to Wal-mart and have them pull a few pins out of it. From the weight I've lost/lean muscle I've gained in the last 7 weeks, I can no longer wear this watch because it almost slides down to my elbow. Back & biceps were brutal last night. The more you get into this the more difficult it becomes. You can do more reps and the weights increase, as does the intensity. I'm lovin' life !

I'm doing Back/Biceps tonight....did Plyo last night. I missed the Cardio/Ab Ripper routine this morning. Man, I couldn't get out of bed!
I need to focus on that morning Cardio.

I still want to see pictures of you guys...day 1, day 30, day 60, and day 90. I love to watch the transformations people make on BB boards. Some of them totally KILL this program.

I probably won't post anything until I get to where I want to be. I started at 288 lbs with 34% bodyfat. I don't know my weight currently but I've dropped about 20% bodyfat in 7 weeks. I'd like to get to 200-210 lbs or 6% bodyfat, whichever comes first. I won't post pics until I'm satisfied and can grate cheese with my abs.

Just clicking...I was not a pull up machine before this. For some reason, I could never do them. Not sure why, as I can bench up near my weight (I'm 6'2", 195 lbs). As some of you know, this is my first week. During (I believe) the chest/back workout, pull ups were required. This was the 4th or 5th workout of the week. For some reason, I could not do 1 pull up. I had a chair under the bar, and was essentially just standing over the bar. I don't think I got much out of it. Have you guys experienced this? I feel I am not getting the full benefit - what have you done to fix this?

I can only do a few pullups unassisted so I use a ladder underneath my pullup tree. When you get to the top of the movement, SLOWLY lower yourself to get the negative effect. I'm doing about 20 of these pullups and I feel it.

You'll get there, trust me. It won't be too long before you're cracking out 10 pull-ups. I know it's sounds like a cliche, but don't give up...on your pull-ups. When I started the program, I could do 10 reverse grip pull-ups but I didn't have much strength left for a 2nd or 3rd set (and I STUNK at overhand pull-ups). I can now do 35 in 3 sets and 50 in 5 sets (reverse grip). And my overhand pull-ups are getting respectable. Stick with it, use a chair to help, focus on the negative part of the pull-up and again, stick with it. Maybe someone else can back me up on this...the pull-up is one of the best overall exercises. It works a big area of the back, blasts your biceps, works a little on the shoulders and even your abs get some burn. Heck, you even have to hold your legs off the ground while you're doing them. My chest was always the weakest area for me. I'd be able to bench my weight but then again, I only weigh 155 (well, as of 1 month ago anyway). After doing all these push-ups, I was able to bench 175 three times and 185 once last week (I could have done more but I didn't have a spotter). My goal is to bench My Weight + 30% three times by April 21st. That would put me near 210. Not bad for someone weighing in at 163 right now. And it's all from push-ups. And as far as pictures, I'll post some at the end of April (if I'm happy with the results ).

Week 7 in the books. After week 5 I was gonna hold off and not check my weight until after week 8. I broke down and checked it yesterday. I lost another 7 lbs. Looking forward to the "rest'  week. My body needs the break before the onslaught that will be weeks 9-12.

First time doing Arms & Shoulders. (I'm kind of running through all the discs at my leisure before I actually start the program.  ) Anyway, after the second set of chair dips, my right arm went numb. Could still use it but had tingly feeling in heel of my hand, and forearm felt like it had been slapped repeatedly, and was numb. Still had use of my arm, but no strength in it. I of course stopped there, and the feeling subsided after about 30 mins or so. I took the workout to the gym this morning to try it with the dumbbells (I only have bands at home, want to try both then decide which way to go). Again, right after the second set of chair dips, the arm goes numb again. I think I'm pinching a nerve or something. It's 9:00 now, almost 2 full hours since it occurred and I still have that feeling a little numbness. Luckily, we have a Doc on site who rents office space in our old office building, so once he gets in Ill go over and chat with him.

Uggghhhh Yoga is the hardest thing in the world. Only made it through 40 minutes before I got warn out/bored. Next time I'll try to make it an hour or so, and hopefully get through the whole thing eventually.
As for the rest of the program, it's pretty killer. It's a completely workout than going to the gym, that's for sure. I like the body weight exercises for the chest/back workout. And the shoulders/arm workout left me sorer than traditionally weight training.
I'm probably going to stick with this for a couple months. It's convenient and more muscular endurance which is what I like.
Also, I'm about to sign up for the Columbus half-marathon at the end of summer (August 16th). It'll give me something to work for and a goal so I don't get lazy during my break. Anyone have any experience with half-marathon/marathon? I figure I'm going to start a real running routine about mid-may, right after the semester ends.

I got bored at the gym. That's why I am going through these disc leisurely, so I can take a sheet with the routine to the gym and perform the weight routines there, like I did this morning. I find I am more into working out at the gym, where at home I am more likely to say "Ok I'm tired" and stop midway.
Just talked to the doc, he doesn't think it's anything serious, most likely pinching a nerve or something during the dips, especially since it is happening on the same exercise. He told me to take some anti-inflammatorys for a couple days and if it repeats next time through the routine that we will look into it further.

The same thing happens to me, but it's not as severe. I'll get some numbness in my elbow and fingertips when I work my chest and triceps. It's quite random and doesn't stop me from finishing the workout though.
Yesterday was tough. Cardio X + Ab Ripper in the AM and Chest/Shoulders/Tri's in the PM.
Gotta keep focused! Plyo tonight.

I agree, sounds like a muscle gets too tight during that exercise and presses on a nerve. Don't let him do a bunch of tests until you get your shoulder girdle, upper & lower arms, and hands totally massaged a few times.

Well, the P90X creators built three different ways to use the discs: Classic
Doubles
LeanYour average week in Classic goes like this:Day 1 - Chest/Back + Ab Ripper Day 2 - Plyo Day 3 - Shoulder/Arms + Ab Ripper Day 4 - Yoga Day 5 - Legs/Back + Ab Ripper Day 6 - Kenpo Day 7 - X-Stretch or rest Your average week in Doubles goes like this:Day 1 - Cardio X AM & Chest/Back + Ab Ripper PM Day 2 - Plyo Day 3 - Cardio X AM & Shoulder/Arms + Ab Ripper PM Day 4 - Yoga Day 5 - Cardio X AM & Legs/Back + Ab Ripper PM Day 6 - Kenpo Day 7 - X-Stretch or rest Your average week in Lean goes like this:Day 1 - Core Synergistics Day 2 - Cardio X Day 3 - Shoulder/Arms + Ab Ripper Day 4 - Yoga Day 5 - Legs/Back + Ab Ripper Day 6 - Kenpo Day 7 - X-Stretch or rest See the official details for each program HERE. Plus, you can design your own plan (with Leadtheway's help of course).

question - is the program to use the discs twice a day like punch or is he going above the regular program? Just curious b/c twice a day won't work for me. lol
If you do the "Doubles" plan you do two workouts a day. I am doing "Classic" which is one a day. That's plenty for me. There is also the "Lean" plan which has more cardio and less weights involved - that is also one workout a day.
Doubles in insane! lol Although, if I had time, I'd try it - just to busy in the evenings with the kids to fit in another workout. I do mine at 5:00 in the morning before everyone gets moving for the day.

Looks like Cardio X is added in the Doubles workout. After my first 4 weeks, I may try to add that to my routine, time permitting. I'm on the back half of week 2 - would be nice to ramp it up a bit more. I love the sore feeling the next day, and feel that might be missing after 4 weeks of the program.

I finished 90 days of the Classic routine before my wedding. Right now I'm doing the Lean routine and I can really feel it in my core. I plan on waiting a few weeks after the Lean routine and then moving on to Doubles.
I don't think it'll be too bad since I don't feel nearly as wasted after Cardio X as I do with the other routines. As long as I put enough time between both workouts, I should be ok.

OK, I tried YogaX tonight for the 2nd time.
First try I got through about 30-35 mins, this time I got through about 1 hr. I finally hit fatigue at the "Standing Leg Extension"

Haha, I know how you feel. You probably won't believe me, but give it about two months.
After the second phase ended, Yoga was still very difficult, but it became very peaceful for some odd reason and I actually looked forward to it.

Forgot how much I love core synergistics until yesterday. I'm really looking forward to week 9 because I'm interested to see how many more regular pushups I can do now. I bet it's close to double.

I believe it, I got through the stuff I had done the first time with no problem, and at that time I struggled with just those 30 mins. My biggest problem is the sweat dripping down my arms into my hands makes my mat slippery where I put my right hand, which makes down-dog difficult without sometimes slipping or removing my hand to wipe it.
Think I'll try keeping a towel right there to grab before putting my had down.
