The official P90X Support Group!

[Lizk23]

I got P90X awhile ago and did it after my daughter was born. I really liked it but i didn't end up ever finishing it or doing it everyday like your supposed to. I think I started it too soon it was tough to work that into my schedule everyday with a newborn and work. But...I want to start it again and actually do it every day and follow the diet plan. I'm getting sick of my gym my FI and I go to snap fitness and every time I go lately it is just PACKED to the point where there aren't even treadmills or lifting machines open. I don't like having to take breaks and wait for people when i'm doing circuit lifting , kinda defeats the purpose.

 

I'm with you Jessica and Angel...I'm 5' 6" and I weigh 120 which i'm totally fine with I know i'm skinny and everything but I have a little chub around my tummy and it just has to go, and I'd like to get more toned in general! So I might have to cancel that gym membership and try a round of P90X. It sounds like the lean program is the way to go. My wedding isn't for 11 months but i'm doing a BD photoshoot this summer for my FI and bikini season is approaching so I want to get in shape now too and then maybe I'd do the doubles program 3 months before the wedding...Doubles yuck that sounds hard! haha

 

What pound weights are you ladies planning on using for most of the exercises? I think I did 8 lb weights when I did it last time but it might have been 10

I got the 3 5 and 8 pound set. they are selling it at Dicks sporting good right now for $50 but you might be able to get them some place else cheaper.

Ahhh!! The BD shoot!!  I forgot about scheduling mine!  I have been so busy with everything else it slipped my mind.  I have THAT to motivate me too!!

 

I was planning on using 5lb weights...lol  so good for you with the 8 and 10!!  I have weak arms!

[jszy10]

I still need to pick up my bands!  I was told I might find them at Target??  I'm going to look at what my weights are that I have at home, they might only be 3, so I may have to pick up a set of weights too before I start.

 

There are not enough hours in the day!!

[Lizk23]

Yeah I believe i started with 8 lbs and moved up to 10 after a little bit but I might get some 5 lb weights because i remember it being extrememly difficult, especially at first, with the 8 lbs. I have pretty strong arms, being a mom will do that to you ha, but I don't want them to get any more bulky or big, muscular and manly so i should probably use lighter weight. I'll have to check out Dicks for some more weights. We have resistance bands too and I got them at Scheels but I'd bet you they do have them at target too and probably for cheaper.

 

The BD photos are a huge motivator for me too. I know my photographer can photoshop it and make small flaws disappear but I want them to look perfect and not look photoshopped and fake!

Hey Ladies!  You guys have motivated me to start P90X again!  My Fi & I did it last year, but quit after 6 weeks(life gets in the way )  The first time I did it I wasn't following any kind of diet plan, so I didn't see a great deal of results.  I started weight watchers about 8 weeks ago & have lost 10 lbs, so now that I have the diet part under control I need to start getting toned.  I HATE yoga, so I will probably just run on those days.  I used 5, 8, & 10 lb weights last time I did it.  I'm really excited to get started again!!

[jszy10]

Yay!!  Start with us, we'll try to keep you going!  I'm starting this weekend at some point!  I've had a crazy week and am leaving town Saturday to Sunday, but I'm going to pick up my bands in the next day or two and get started either Sunday or Monday!

Oh and I just noticed you are a June bride too!  If you start by next week you will be done with the whole 13 weeks right before your wedding!!

[krmiller]

I know!!  We leave May 31st, so it will be perfect timing.  It will give me a week before to not have to worry about working out!!  I think I will start it on Sunday...start the week off right! 

[jszy10]

Ok!  I think maybe I'll start Sunday with you!?!  We can keep each other moving!
