Power 90 ?

Just finished the legs and back and ab ripper x for the day! This p90x is really hard. I appreciate all your kind words but I think I am really leaning on all you to push me through this. It is really hard to find the time to do these videos. The Power 90 was manageable because at the most 45 minutes. The p90x is really long and can take away from the family time a bit. It is almost 10:30pm and I am finishing up. I guess I have to ask myself, at this point of the night what else would I be doing. Everyone is in bed. I would do mornings early but in the beginning I am too sore to move that early. I guess it is one day at a time and for today, I am done. Thank you all for your support.

Could you possibly split the workout in half for the rest of the week until your muscles acclimate to this new brand of torture? I'll check with my friend who is a trainer and P90x god to see if he has any suggestions.
I think you are doing great.
I have just a few more boxes, several very large pieces of furniture and two empty houses to scrub and then I start rolling on Power90 with the goal of jumping to P90x with my step son in January.

It will get better. I have gotten on the chat line and this is normal. My day of rest is almost here. Like I said, the only way I will not do exactly what is in that box is when the surf is up! Tonight is Kenpo! Then rest.

Hello

Hi my name is Crystal, i'm 22 years old , about 50 pounds over weight, and I am just starting to hear the buzz about this power 90 thing. I saw the informercial for p90x and I thought wow that might really work, but even from the informercials I could tell that this was no easy feat. So i did some research and stumbled upon power 90 a more modified version of the MONSTER 90x. I really want to lose weight, just seven months ago I was 18 pounds lighter and a little happier. But i met my boyfriend and we just go out to eat all the time and he is always making me these wonderful deserts and I have just gotten way off of track. I saw this blog and thought that this is a wonderful thing you all are doing and was hoping if you would take a sad puppy like myself in as i go through my first initial 90 day trail.

Come on in! I think you are right to go after Power90 instead of P90x based on you description of where you are and Bobby's description of his current grueling workouts. As has been pointed out, it doesn't really matter WHAT you do as long as you DO IT. There are a million different workouts to choose from. Tae Bo is cool, maybe you like Sweatin to the Oldies or something else.
I can tell you that if you do Power 90 and you stick with it, you will see results right away. Same with TaeBo (Billy Banks), or couch to 5k or anything.
So figure out what you are going to do, October first is right around the corner and then do it....keep us posted.

Power 90 would be perfect to start. I did it like 4 complete 90 days before I jumped into this p90x thing. Here is the trick with power 90 or any program. Do it all. If you miss a day, hop right back on. Commit and do it no matter how sore you are. Look for reasons as to why to move forward. That voice that says stop.... Tell him/her to shut up. The results will come. The diet will be forced to improve as you can not keep working at this pace and continue in your poor eating habits. Why would you work out this hard and let it all go away for a slice of cheesecake. I think the diet is 80% of the deal. A glass of wine can be 175 calories. 3 glasses and you have just erased all your hard work. Give yourself the gift of doing something for 90 days and you will be amazed before you are half way through. I guarantee it! If you have any concerns or questions feel free to call me. I am 41 and in the best shape of my life because of these stupid videos! If this old dog can do it you surely can! Good luck and keep pushing play no matter what!!!!!

Day nine Plyometrics done! This is a tough program. It is a real mental game as well...

On day 12! Not quite as sore or as intimidated as I was. I think I can do this thing! I highly recommend power 90 before p90x. Any power 90 people still on board??????

Starting Power 90 again today...just as soon as I find the box I packed it in. That will be a workout in itself.

Still looking for an "unopened box" OR used copy to purchase... anybody know of someone looking to part with/loan out theirs?

You may look on ebay. Make sure you get the complete package. The entire program is important. It's not just the DVD's. You have the bands, calendars, help books, etc. Good luck and I will keep my eyes open.

I found the DVD's & VHS's on ebay last week but didn't see a complete package... I'll check back today!

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words I think I will get started as soon as I can spare the extra sixty bucks and money for healthy food (its so sad that I am a broke college student!) But I will keep you all posted, and it should be about two weeks until i get started. I am so excited and I hope that my motivation doesnt pizzle out as I begin the workouts! Thanks again

Any power 90 people still on board??????

Me! I got a little lost for a while, there. All the usual excuses--life gets in the way, you know? So I was only doing it, like, every third day... But I'm back in the game now!

Me here.............today is my push eject day.......

Just push play no matter what. Going on day 15. Plyometrics. Pretty hard but seems to be getting easier. I get kind of obsessed over things! At least today I use it in a positive way. It was not always like that... ;-)

Congrats to Bobby J and everyone else who is doing Power 90. I am very ungraceful and was hurting my knees, etc., by moving improperly. I now have a personal trainer who watches me like a hawk to make sure I move properly. He does a lot of the same stuff as Power 90, plus weight machines. I go three times a week and do aerobics (walking, treadmill or bike at home) the rest of the time.

Keep it up!

Day 20. Kempo tonight! Then rest day falls on Saturday!!!!!! Yeah! Anyone still on board?

I did this for about 3 weeks. Started on the lean program and tried two a days. It was awful but definately works. Wish I would have held out the 90 days I just should have started off easier. Still run and bike but no p90x. Lost 50 lbs over the last two years.

I finally found and unpacked the box with my dvd's and my calendar et al. I'm in Bham until tomorrow. Grocery shopping on Saturday for top tier foods and starting back on Monday!

50lbs!!! That is awesome! Two a days! That must have been intense.

You can do it! I like to use the tier method as well.

Two a days is a mistake. I thought I was in shape for it but I was wrong. Two a days only lasted about days at most. I need to get back on it. Starting to slack now that Fall is her (always do). Last Winter I gained 12 lbs and had HE#$ when Spring arrived. Doing my best to stay the same this Winter. It is a change in diet that helped me the most along with the exercise of course. Was in best shape of my life last Summer and early this Spring but now I have slacked again.

It seems like it is easy to do and you are not alone. It always amazes me when we work so hard and then blow it in a few short weeks over our diet. I have finally gotten better after about 5 years of struggling. But... some nights I wake up and the oreos talk to me from the kitchen. I rarely give in these days but sometimes you just got to give in and then understand it is ok. This seems to be the place where people fall off. They just say, oh well I will start next week. Then they never do. You have to make your good diet the normal way of life and the treats the exception. Must people have this theory backwards. They eat good for a few days and they think they should be ready to run a 10k. The issue is that should be the norm. I think when we learn to eat within the healthy lifestyle and know we will have exception we begin to have long term results. A peice of cake is ok. A peice of cake everyday is not so ok.
