, I can't wait for tomorrow 
I've been on the nutrition part the past 2 days and will be starting in tomorrow (g/f is day 3 tomorrow morning so kind of mixing a little there).
So far, some of my recommendations
Meal 1:
Berry Protein Smoothie
Peanut Butter Toast
Veggie Omelet
Meal 2:
Turkey BLT
Vanilla-Berry Protein Shake
Meal 3:
Chicken Ranch Wrap
Meal 4:
Nut Butter & Jelly
Protein Pizza Muffin
Roast Beef Wrap
Not a fan of Tuna Salad in a tomato
Meal 5:
Baked Cod with Steamed carrots
Dinner Omelet
She put a menu together for the first week that has us pretty much trying every meal from each of the 5 so will be able to tell pretty quick what we'll be sticking with as staples (a lot of easy, quick things like the shakes, omelets, wraps fit us more). Actually looking forward to the steak, baked potato, broccli on tonight's menu. Never tried a lot of the stuff (almond milk, natural peanut butter, etc., not bad at all).
If anyone wants a PDF of the nutrition guide still just shoot me a PM

Thanks. Next time I can just do some tae-bo type stuff to make up for it.Just woke up after doing day 1 yesterday and I'm in pain, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be. Although I have a sneaking feeling that it might get worse throughout the day. Day 2 workout this afternoon

Set a goal of doing 15 seconds out of every 30 second exercise, then jog out the rest of the 30 seconds. Made it through the whole "warmup" this way, and then after the stretching part I did 15 seconds and then just walked around for the next 15 until the next exercise started because I was too tired to jog. Was pretty much perfect, I was dying but not dead, if that makes sense. Heart rate up around 170-180 for nearly the entire workout. Short term goal is to get through a whole workout of doing 15 seconds, then jogging 15 of each 30 second interval. Will try to build from there to 20/10, 25/5, etc. I figure by 2013 I'll get to the whole 30 seconds.Mad props to anybody doing this, it is hard ### work. But it will pay off.

It was during the dips with leg extended. Just checked...her name is Adriana and she was in the Black sports bra and grey shorts.She's not as hot as the Fit Test chick, but she's diggable.

I'm pretty surprised at how much more fit I am than I was 3 weeks ago when I started. That first fitness test nearly killed me - I spent the hour after the test wondering if it was going to be my last... man I was out of shape. But now I can get through the entire warmup without a break (though my form isn't quite as perfect as the superfreaks on the video and I don't go any faster the third time through than I did on my first), and I even got through a lot of the Pure Cardio without taking more than a 10 second break. 10 minutes after the workouts I actually feel really good now, as opposed to dreading the walk to the shower.
I haven't lost any weight though. While I have been eating relatively healthy, save for an extremely unhealthy opening day, I haven't been following the diet.

So, I finished Day 4 yesterday (Cardio Recovery) and most of the leg soreness is gone.
For those that are just starting this is what I experienced.
- Day 1 (Fit Test): next 24 hour minor leg/feet soreness
- Day 2: next 24 hours was the worst. My entire lower half was sore and was a struggle to get in an out of my chair at work. Couldn't even imagine that I'd be able to get through the Day 3 workout
- Day 3: next 24 yours still some lingering soreness in calves, muscles around knees and thights mostly but nothing unbearable
- Day 4: next 24 hours is where I'm presently at....woke up with the bottoms of my feet hurting a little bit but not a big deal. Presently my calves have some tightness but no pain. Overall feeling good.
I'm hoping I'm through the intitial muscle shock at this point but we'll see after Day 5 Pure Cardio tonight.

Even though you haven't lost any weight does your body look/feel any differently? What I mean is your core tighter, do you feel better in clothes, etc?It's been 4 days for me and I've actually put on 2 lbs, but I've also been drinking a lot more water throughout the day and have been mixing in a couple of snacks throughout the day. But even with all that, I can tell my core is getting more tone which is all that matters to me rather than weight loss (6-1, 190lbs)

When I did p90x last summer, I was about a month in, eating well, hadn't lost any weight, and was starting to get frustrated. Then right about week 4-5 it just started melting off and I lost about 20 pounds in the next 2 months. I think it's just like a delayed reaction by the body - takes a while for everything to kick in.

I wish I could say I fit in my clothes better, but I don't think it's true. My core is definitely tighter though.

Thats great to hear. Hope it holds true for me.

Day 5 (Pure Cardio) down. GWB sums up my feelings quoted above. 4 days ago I would've been a walking zombie right about now so something positive is happening at least.As said way earlier in the thread love how Shawn T basically says he's scared for what's about to happen to us next before we got into the second half of the session. Thanks for the support bud.
Sometimes I think why I do this to myself...cuz I want to look goooooood. --Shawn T.

Overslept this AM so I'll be doing day 6 (Plyo Cardio) tonight after I get the kids to bed. Ugh.
What is involved in the Cardio Abs workout?

C'mon GWB, you're my barometer for what to expect when I do my workout each night!Edit to add that I'm completely done with the soreness....had a tough Day 5 workout last night and not feeling any effects today. Heeey--oooooo!

Not bad, but because it's after Pure Cardio, you are already pretty spent.

What kind of exercises? Are you mostly standing up or on the floor?

Sorry, man. Wife's alarm went off around 5:55 (she goes walking in the AM) and I rolled back over figuring I'd get 5 more minutes since my alarm is set for 6 AM. Never went off.I'll probably get my workout in around 8:30 tonight.

Wife and I do the Ab workout first, followed by the Pure Cardio routine. It empties the tank, so I don't know if I could do them the other way around and use the correct form for the abs.
Norman Einstein

ab workout is mostly on the floor. do some C-sit with twists, raising legs, etc. and some high/low plank moves raising knees to shoulders

I'm afraid of doing ab workouts that involve anything remotely similar to a crunch, GB.

I'm not looking forward to these sessions either as have a very sensitive back..but also realize that ab work is the best thing for this so it's a necessary evil unfortunately.

Your back never touches the ground. You sit up with your knees bent and go back a bit.

The good news is there are no crunches and no situps. The bad news is that Sean T just substitues another variety of pain.

anybody been doing this for a few weeks and lost a good amount of body fat?
I'm probably gonna give this a try starting monday, just to cut up some for summer. I'm in pretty good shape (6 foot, 225 pounds, muscular and strong) but I could stand to trim up a bit for beach season. I would look shredded at about 210, so that's my goal. I have a normal cutting routine, but it's not INSANE!!!!11 so I thought I would try this.
my biggest concern is that I don't want to sacrifice any muscle mass while cutting up, which is a possibility with high intensity cardio.

Same here. It's the back issue that really curtailed my running routing which led to me needing to do this program in the first place.I've evidently developed some mild arthritis in my lower back and the frequent pain and discomfort from that has kept me from running since December.
