Thread: P90X Anyone?!?!?!

I've done P90X in the past. Here's some advice: do the first week with no weights. If you do use weights, use something lite (2-3 pounds), just so you can get used to the program. If you get tired, don't push yourself. Also, it's great to couple this program with walking/running. Lastly, do the workout in the morning, and don't eat at least an hour before you start.

I need to get back in shape, I'd be happy to start the program on Monday with you. We can keep each other in line. lol I need to have someone to help me stay on task.

Excellent advice, thanks! I was definitely planning on working out before work in the morning, so I'm happy you said that. I wouldn't eat, would probably make me nauseous. And since I'm not in shape at all, I will definitely go through the first week without weights. I've learned in the past that being all gun ho in the beginning never works...just makes it to difficult too fast.

I'm definitely starting Monday...doing the "lean" program. As for dieting, I'm not using the protocol but sticking to those foods. I have my own protein shakes and stuff so I'll be using what I have. Let's keep posting, will definitely help to have some motivation and someone to have to check in with!

Did you start the program today???

I did not, since my insides decided to bleed out of me. lol I know that exercise helps, so I've been walking/jogging a bit to help myself out. I'll be starting the program once my period ends.

Hi! I'm brand new to the site, but thought I'd dive in here. I started P90X on Monday and have been doing my best....though yesterday it was painful lifting my arms over my head! Lol! I've got a P90X partner, but he's a guy, so I know calories/workouts/results are going to be way different. I wanted to find other women who are doing the program to bounce questions off of..... Mind if I join in here?
