I haven't gotten my DVDs yet, but I have a question for those of you that are just starting and aren't in great shape. Seems like I'm not going to be able to complete the first couple of DVDs 100% of the way, or I'll have to take breaks, skip things, etc. in order to get through it. Seems like a lot of other people would be in this situation as well. Do you keep doing that workout until you can get through it? Or just do the best you can and plow into the next day?

I take breaks as needed, but finish the program. I had to hit pause on the DVD a couple of time on the fit test, but I did finish it. I did not use the pause button on day 2 or 3, but I definitely had to sit out a couple rotations.

It comes with a workout calendar, so I follow what the calendar say to do for that day. I still haven't completed a workout 100%, in fact, I don't think it's possible to complete a workout 100%. If you can, then that just means that you didn't push yourself hard enough. Heck, the people in the videos aren't even completing the workouts. What you'll find is that after the initial shock to your system, your body starts to adapt and you start to get stronger and you can work yourself harder and harder (but still not complete the workout). The important thing to remember is to go at your own pace and take breaks when you need them.On a side note, Cardio Recovery day today. Yea!

I wouldn't worry about completing the workouts 100% right from the start. Hell most of the people on the dvd's need to take breaks and they all look to be in great shape. Do what you can and take breaks when you need to. You repeat the workouts each week and there are moves that cross over the dvd's so you will get better at them as you repeat them through the weeks.To sum it up in beachbody cliches - do your best and forget the rest, then bring it, dig deeper and push through!!
 
Is there anything out there like P90, but for GAINING weight/muscle? My regular routine has always kept me fit with low body fat (think Patrick Swayze) but I'd like to try something new that would add some weight to my frame, without eating a dozen donuts a day.

There's no such thing as a hard gainer, only an under eater. If you want to put on muscle, you have to increase your protein intake, but you body can only handle a certain amount in one sitting, that's why it's important to each a bunch of meals throughout the day. My guess is, if you laid out your diet, you'd see why your workouts have you looking like Patrick Swayze.

I'm not disputing that I probably don't eat enough at each "meal" (6 times a day.) It just doesn't seem like a program like P90 would be right for me, when I see a lot of results reporting 20lb losses, etc.

P90x is not for gaining weight - it will give you lean muscle mass due to the high reps and high cardio aspect of it. Other programs out there are better for that, most will be low rep, high weight things I'd imagine. But I agree that it's mostly diet. You should be eating 1.5-2x as many grams of protein as your body weight.Also, thanks for the responses regarding my question earlier. Makes good sense to me.

The whole point of a rest day is to allow your body to recover. You're better off doing nothing then doing an all out workout. The rule I always live by when lifting is that you don't grow in the gym, you grow out of the gym.
 
Videos in hand, all docs read and video intro viewed. Gonna start Day 1 with the fit test tomorrow (Saturday)...figure that will give me Fridays off for the next 2 months which would be the hardest night for me to fit this in with the busy summer coming up.

offdee is getting ready to DIG DEEP!

Mine is in the mail and should hopefully arrive today or tomorrow. Hopefully I can start this on the same day as you guys so we can compare a bit and keep each other accountable for doing the stuff. GL!
 
did pure cardio w/ cardio abs for the first time last night. the ab routine wasn't too bad even though i was pretty beat from the pure cardio. they have you "warm up" again in the ab section but it isn't like the warmup for the other dvd's (shorter, different moves).

i like how they tell you "don't stop moving" as shaun t and everyone else is lying dead on the floor at the end of pure cardio.

Already on Day 3 and I feel like a new man. I didn't have that much fat on me to begin with, but all of my muscles are really tight now. I was on Day 2 yesterday and it took me about 45 minutes to get through the 30 minute video.

I've also adjusted my diet to include lots of peanut butter, fish, and chicken. My only sugar intake is through my juice addiction.

Feelin lean and mean :goodposting:

By all means, unless the board ran off that alias for being a jerk.
 
For those having a hard time getting the MP4 versions to DVD try DVD Flick. It's a free download and is really easy to use. There's also a YouTube vid that walks you through how to use it.

 
supposed to be an off day but I did cardio abs and cardio power.

abs was okay, cardio power was not so pretty.

I am promising myself a day off from Insanity TOMORROW.

and then moving to Pure Cardio on Sunday.

 
I'm in a hotel room in Tokyo. The jetlag sucks, and the eating/drinking during this next week suck, and I've missed the past two days due to travel. That said, I've got it here on the iPad, and I have a few hours to kill midday, so I'm going to force do it here in the hotel room, and then hopefully follow through the rest of the week. I'll do it when I can. And when I'm back home I'll be back on to a full schedule.

I really did feel like a new man a week into this thing. A few days away from it and I feel like garbage again.

I bought the set from Mr. Torrents for $0. Wife and I have a gym membership, and I use it 6 days/week (but I eat terribly so I'm fat and out of shape), but thought this sounded interesting/fun. Randomly decided to try one of these today instead of going to the gym. Did Day 3 - Cardio Power & Resistance. Oh. My. Gravy. I bet I did 2/3 of the stuff, at about 1/2 speed. Just the warm up was a killer. You guys have no been lying. My calves are going to be seizing up all day tomorrow.

Horrible. If you're not mentally ready to commit yourself to the entire program, then you can't expect to achieve anything. You are hurting yourself more than helping. You must have 45 minutes out of the day for free time. And believe me, I look like I'm in shape, but I probably paused Day 2 about 10 times, but I pushed and got through it without standing there and watching the video go by. The goal is just to drip sweat and it sounds like most people in here have been doing that.eta: Starting Day 3 exercises in 1 minute. Cardio Power here I come :fishing: .

Will post later today. Heading to the park with the kids right now.The first exercise is a rough estimate though. I sort of lost count while trying to focus on the video and the correct form so I'm pretty sure I missed 15 or 20 reps in my count.
 
Well, I was going to build a compost bin today, but my neighbor just gave me an old one of his. Looks like I have to head over to his house and drink some beer today.

I'm gonna try and bust out the fit test right now. I am already tasting the beer.
