Re: P90X Workout
Well, I finally finished this stretch of the program and I am very pleased by the results. It took me a little longer than 90 days--vacation, being old, etc., slowed me down a bit. I'll spare you all the semi-naked before & after photos but here are a few data points to show you my progress:
Start: 190 pounds, 17% bodyfat End: 182 pounds, 12% bodyfat Dropped almost 2" in my waist, gained 2" in my chest and an inch in each bicep. Added 4" to my vertical leap, tripled my max wall squat time, and I can now max out at 5x the number of pullups I did when I started. My resting heart rate went from 65 to 55, and my BP is now 115/65. As a runner my legs were always very muscular, so not much change there. I compared my exercise logs from week 1 to week 12, and I'm floored by the progress. Much stronger and more flexible in every category. This program kicks ass. In fact, I decided not to stop. After taking the past 10 days to rest & recupe, I started Round 2 this morning! My goals this time are for 6-8% bodyfat, a 34" waist and much larger upper body muscle gains. This is probably the best shape I've been in since college. Still have a ways to go to get to my ideal fitness level, but at 46, I am very happy with where I am. I highly recommend both the exercise & nutritional components of P90X!

Re: P90X Workout
Cardio X, the workout itself wasn't too hard it was just rough at the end I try to do everything with perfect form and concentrate on engaging the correct muscle groups. My right leg got the jitters and gave out on me during a Warrior Yogo pose but i recovered and finished out strong.

Re: P90X Workout
This thread has seriously made me begin to consider working out again. I even went so far as to vist the p90x website, looked for a chin-up bar, and read the fitness test requirements (I think I can do all of the mins...). I wonder if my lazyness will prevent me from actually start exercising...

I wouldnt bother getting the beachbody items, you can get golds gym ones from walmart for cheaper and they are just as good. I was thinking the lazyness was gonna hold me back too, but honestly I feel awesome just 4 days in... I just finished the Yoga X vid today, man that thing for the 1st 45 minutes kicked my ass, but pulled through and the last 45 mins was cake other than me not being very flexible yet.

Re: P90X Workout
I haven't bought anything... yet. Thanks for the tips about the beachbody items. 90 minutes of exercise seems like a longgggg time. How bout a nice easy 9 minute routine.
