So who here works out? Anyone try P90X? I've done a round of Lean before, but I just started Classic yesterday, and plyometrics just beat the everloving fuck out of me. tips? halp? :[

I just started working out again too! P90X scares me.

Prior to the winter, I jogged on a weekly basis, usually about 2-3 times a week...started reducing calories and sugar intake, eating healthier in general.

I know nothing about P90X, though the thought had actually occurred to me this morning as I left work to give it some research. I slept all day and didn't have time though :[

I guess it'd be good to mention I have back injuries...no official diagnosis but I suspect a herniated disc, at minimum. The injury has been ongoing for like 2 years now..and the symptoms seem consistent with R5/R6 root nerve damage..bleh.

Not to thread jack..just feel it's important to mention since I'm not sure if that will affect my ability to complete the full routine. I've mainly just been sticking to cardio, and planning on resuming next week if the weather picks up in temperature.

I had no idea what this is so I Googled it.

The site looks like ridiculous flim-flam artistry. Credibility instantly drops to below zero.

...Does this...program, or whatever...actually work? I've been seriously considering getting into working out.

What is involved, just committing to these exercises? Is any hardware needed?

oh that'll be amusing to see.

Haven't tried P90X. Kind of wanted to, but was too lazy (lol) to look for a free version of the workout.

I bike and do push-ups.

Drinking only water. Doing push ups, planks, curls, flys, dancing and occasionally using my friend's gym lol.

Apparently I can bench press 165ish without having worked out like ever.

I jog and do pushups. I need to figure out something to strengthen my back and shoulders.


bitches love back and shoulders.

P90X is actually really good, but most people can't stick with the program. My friend, Brad, did it with great results, and I think he's planning on doing it again soon. I'd try it, but I hate having my diet dictated. Sometimes I have to have Tiramisu...or Key Lime Pie...or ribs. The exercise part of it doesn't seem that intense to me, but the only time I've really ever exercised in my life I was already in fairly decent shape and we got our asses worn down for something like six hours a day, with breaks for lunch, so my standards of "intense" are a little out-of-phase with reality.

I quit going to the gym again, even though they have night hours now. I've been going to a bar in my free time, because I'd rather do that.

I understand. I'm noticing a huge difference in what I can and can't do because of my whiplash injury, but I'm just trying to modify the best I can and keep moving during routines I absolutely can't do.



It really does work. I'm not a great case to make an example out of because of my Hashimoto's, but Jeff/Maudin really lost a TON of weight on it. My sister is also a workout fiend and is the one who loaned me the discs, she looks fantastic as well. Most of my gym-type buddies refuse to do it because it kicked their ass when the tried it, idk.

Hardware involved is generally a chair, towel, free weights or resistance bands, and a pull up bar. A yoga mat also is incredibly helpful. I don't use the pull up bar though. There's a way you can drape the resistance bands over a bar or something similar and still get a pretty good back workout + costs nothing, so I do that.



I don't really follow the nutrition guidelines because that healthy shit's expensive and I'm broke as hell. But I do know a lot of people who either get spooked after one workout and stop, or get spooked before ever starting. The ones that have made it through tend to love it. If you went from working out ridiculously to this, I can see why it wouldn't seem so bad. However, 45 minutes of pretty much nonstop jumping really beat the hell out of me today. The BF helped me to the shower cause my legs were all like lolfucku

I don't need to lose weight, I need to build a bit of upper body strength.
What's the best way to go about that?

I'm not concerned about my diet either; I subsist mostly on peas, spinach, bread, rice vermicelli, spaghetti, and various kinds of fruit, vegetables, and soup. I drink club soda and have bulk sherbet for dessert.

These kicked my fucking ass yesterday - way harder than I thought they'd be. There's a couple of different discs that go over upper body. They have Chest & Back, Shoulder & Arms, Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps, and Back & Biceps. Legs & Back mixes both, as does the yoga video. Ab Ripper is at the end of every weight day, 2-3 times a week depending on which "track" you do.

Masturbation is great for the forearms.

Oh god P90X.

My roommates are pretty regular with it, and I join them once or twice a week with it. Between that and walking everywhere I lost a good 25 pounds since November, but it's fucking brutal. I need to start working out for serious though, because I'd like to start rowing again with my bf :/ We're thinking about a masters 2x in some laid back regattas over the summer.

One thing I really like about P90X is that despite the not amazing weight loss numbers, I've leaned out a ton. I had a pretty serious issue when I was still rowing and shooting competitively, and that was I would never develop lean muscle mass. P90X has really helped me in that regard as well.
