P90x

[shootingstar]

Nothing to offer here since I've never tried it before.

Besides cycling, have you ever engaged in other types of (strenous) exercise/sports on a regular basis?

Are you looking to lose alot more weight, gain greater strength/flexibility, etc.? Something must have convinced you that you needed P90X.

My husband and I did the workouts as an adjunct to our other stuff we do. I never did 90 days in a row!! so I am probably not the one you want to talk to..
I found I did get stronger and it did force me to do some workouts that I otherwise would have avoided...overall I really liked the program and I am sure I will pick it up again -right now I tend to just do the "core synergy" as it covers all the major muscle groups in one session.
Good Luck
(and there is no shame in taking a day in between when you are first starting- depending on your fitness level when you start- you may find it a bit overwhelming- I know I did and I started out thinking I was reasonably fit!!)

I just started the P90X system about 3 weeks ago. There is no way that I can follow along to all the exercises at my current fitness level so I modify the exercises to suit my needs and ability. They show you how to do a bit of that in the dvds but some of my modifications come from having taken fitness classes in the past with an instructor. I also take a day or two off here and there as I need it or if there are other activities that I want to do instead of the dvds.

Let's check in here with eachother. Which program are you starting?

I'm borrowing it from my neice tomorrow, so I don't know much about it yet.

p90x will kick your butt, but Tony Horton has an incredible amount of energy which will help you get through it. I don't do it in the schedule that they prescribe, but I have in the past. When I did I couldn't do any other activities because it is so physically demanding. Now I only do the strength training and yoga during the week mixed in with swimming, and cycling, and running. I figure I'm getting plenty of cardio through my endurance training. Every once in a while I'll throw in the plyo workout. My advice is to just push yourself, you can do it!

Thanks! I'm anxious to get started.

I'd like to lose some weight and get back in shape after not being able to ride for a while due to: busy holidays, winter weather, hand surgery, and helping with a new grandbaby. What conviced me? P90X looks like a good scheduled plan. I think that's what I need right now to get me back into my rountine of exercise.
