P90X - Anyone try this? (4 Viewers)

[PatsFan72]

I'm on week 5 of Insanity. It's my second go 'round, first time I hurt my ankle (pulled some ligaments) in week 4.

You need to be in at least OK shape to start it. If not you'll never make it through.

Get some cross trainer shoes, running shoes will not work, there are a lot of lateral movements and you'll need good support.

Do the whole routines, even especially the stretches.

You need to start counting calories and stay on a decent diet. Currently I'm eating between 1300 to 1800 calories a day.

So far I've lost about 25 lbs, and gained a decent amount of muscle. My starting goal was 30 lbs, and I'm only half way through the plan. All my clothes are loose, and I'll need to buy all new jeans/pants when I'm done.

It's a ##### of a workout, but if you stay with it, it will work.

I like the way it's broken up and even though I'm usually covered in sweet by the end, I've never been sore the next day.

If it's not too personal a question what are your height, weight and age?That's not many calories for such an intense workout.

Considering the workout alone is about 700-800 calories, you really should be at 2500 calories. (quick estimation based on made up numbers)

It's hard to say, which is why I asked.

I started out at around 195lbs. 5'9'' 38 years old I'm around 173 lbs right now.The 1300 - 1800 is a the recommended amount from the Harris Benedict equation, which is listed in their materials, for weight loss.

 

[Trey]

Just finished up Day 1.

Wow. Just a complete ball of sweat by the end of Chest & Back. Had to take a little break before Ab Ripper. And then that kicked my ### all over again. A. I'm not flexible enough to be fully extending my leg in the air. B. There were at least 2 moves that I looked at and thought "impossible".

I'm showing - 1830 minimum if you are "Moderately active" but most people should fall into Very Active "5-7 intense workouts a week and that would be 2043 for you. So my guesstimate of 2250 wasn't too far off.

I agree that PatsFan72's current intake seems low, and certainly helps to explain the weight loss.What are your target weights? Have you done any sort of body fat measurements?

Love me some Plyo.

Although, did they really need to include a guy with 1 leg kicking my ###?

I figure the exercise ratio goes way down because I have a very sedentary job (IT and programmer). I also have a hard time loosing weight normally, and would have had to increase my calories to be at the 2400 or so that the scales say. I feel good, plenty of energy, and I eat a lot of high protein and fiber stuff.My goal is around 170 - 165 lbs, and as ripped as possible.Week 6, is a #####. The routines get much more intense after the 'recovery' week, which is a lot tougher than the name implies. You also have to schedule out more time, at least an hour for just the disc.

 

[wilked]

To whoever asked if he should lift during the recovery week...I recommend not to do that. It is called recovery for a reason, you need to allow time for your body to generate new muscle. It's a long 90 days, no need to rush through it. If you are feeling anxious go for a nice 10k run.

I am nearly done with Week 4, been doing well, noticing improvements. I need to go to Saudi Arabia for 3 months though in a couple weeks. I just got Insanity off ebay, gonna take that with me...kind of disappointed not to finish up the 90 days but what can you do

Also, I have the SelectTechs and love them. Whoever was thinking of buying them, get them used off craigslist. You won't lose a dime if you choose to sell them at a later date

[Mr. Chumley]

First week of P90. I have a question. My biggest problem is with the push ups. Should I be doing push ups every day to try and build up my arms and chest so I can complete the exercises or do I just stick with the program and let it come naturally? Also any suggestions on shakes or supplements?

Stick with the program. Do as many regular as you can then switch to knees down push ups.The numbers will come with time, just keep pushing play.ETA: Those 21s can be a PITA.

 

[Chaka]

I have been pushing the Myoplex Lite.

 

[Ned]

I have been pushing the Myoplex Lite.

Do tell...

 

[Mr. Chumley]

That's expensive.

 

[Chaka]

I have been pushing the Myoplex Lite.

Do tell...

Low sugar, relatively high fiber and protein. Actually I like most of their ready to drink shakes, (Lite, Low Carb, Strength Formula & Original) because they are low in sugar and high in fiber. I go back and forth between Lite & Original depending on if one is on sale and my mood.

I don't like their bars however because they simply substitute sugar for alcohol sugars, which really don't have much benefit to them.

 

[Chaka]

That's expensive.

Yes they are, especially when you burn through six/week.Plain yogurt or cottage cheese are pretty solid alternatives. I am also a fan of beef jerky but it's not really cheap either.Protein is generally expensive. I am sure you can buy some powders and mix your own and save plenty. Just make sure the sugar content is as low as possible and don't add too many sugary items to them to improve taste (1 piece of fruit/shake max).

What are your thoughts on Isopure low carb?I've also been snacking on home made venison jerky. Good protein and loads of iron. I'm a little scared to look at the contents of the seasoning we're using (Cabela's pepper steak).

 

[Random]

I think it was mentioned a while back, but my shoulders (rotator cuffs??) are seriously not liking the pullup day(s). Anyone else experiencing this? What did you do?

I'm thinking about adding weight (backpack?, ankle weights?) and doing fewer pullups.

I am not an expert on the different types of proteins they use in powders, although I avoid soy based products for many reasons both related to health and the environmental impact of soy production. I am happy to do some research on the merits of different protein options and give you my opinions.

In general when I look at these things, like the isopure or any food label really, the first thing I look for is sugar content. I am a firm believe that sugar = poison (fructose which comprises 50% of the table sugar molecule is essentially a poison to your body*). If the product has sugar the next thing I look for is the fiber content. I like the fiber:sugar ratio to be as close to 1, or higher, as possible. The next think I look at is sodium content (it is incredible how much sodium we add to our foods in this country). After that I think where the product was manufactured is most important to me. I prefer products that travel the least distance to get to me.

I personally use Nutiva Hemp Protein because hemp is one of the few plant based sources of complete protein (quinoa, buckwheat, amaranth...and I think there are one or two others) and it contains a very high proportion of Omega3:6:9 fatty acids in a good ratio. But I don't supplement with it regularly because I get plenty of protein and fiber from my diet.

*For more info on why fructose = poison here is the definitive piece on the issue:

(90 minutes that I cannot recommend strongly enough). Here is a 12 minute condensed version. I have met Sean, from Underground Wellness, and he really knows his stuff.Sorry for rambling on a bit.

Also, be sure to write down your numbers. I struggle with push-ups and pull-ups as well and until I started keeping track wasn't seeing any improvement (and quit). Now I can look at last weeks workout, see I did X, and know I need to do X+2 to know I'm getting stronger. I recently restarted the program and went from only doing about 70 total push-ups in week 1 to 110 in week 3. It may take me an extra few seconds to get under that last fence to beat last weeks numbers, but I know I'm working hard and feel great seeing the numbers go up.

Good call. I like keeping a journal too.As an aside, I want to kill Tony and every future generation of Tony's when he says it's time for Dive Bombers. Just a brutal move to have at the end of the routine.

I hate it, but I love it.

I know you're doing more than me, so I was hoping you'd chime in. Last workout, legs and back, I did 114 (or 118, dont have my worksheet in front of me), I think the most I did in a set was 18. It never really bothered me until lately (maybe the last month or so). Maybe my form is off or something. Do you have any suggestions?

I would suggest not adding weight as a method of improving form or reducing shoulder pain. In fact you might want to back off a little bit and try to bang out a lower number with particular focus on form and once it starts to go south even a little you should stop that set.

Tony's not into bad form and you shouldn't be either.

Go slower and focus on form. I wouldn't add any weight if you are injured.

I agree. If anything, get the chair out and do the last few assisted. More weight usually leads to worse form. Less weight, better form.

Tried something new today on Shoulders and Arms. I always hated doing upright rows. It's an uncomfortable move for my elbows, wrists, and neck. This morning I did one arm alternating rows instead of doing both shoulders at the same time. Felt much better doing the move and it seemed like I was working the shoulders better.

 

[Mr. Chumley]

Finished week 3 of p90 1-2 yesterday. I get up a little earlier before the family is awake and do the exercises. I hate the 7,7,7 (pushups), I'm not quite to the point where I can do it all yet but I'm improving. I think once I can get the 7-7-7's I will move on toe the 3-4. So far I've dropped 5 pounds and I feel like I'm slimming down but I haven't measured yet.. I don't feel like I get what I'm suppose to out of the sculpt because I'm always so busy monkeying with the bands when they start. I think I need to get some weights.

Any thoughts on exercising first thing in the morning then skipping breakfast? I just don't feel like eating after I work out. I may get 1/2 a glass of chocolate milk or 1/2 a meal replacement drink down but thats about it.

Since I do this first thing, would it help to add a workout in the pm? Maybe doing the ab ripper and / or some weights?

The 7,7,7s are surprisingly difficult but it will come. I know P90 is repetitive and tedious at times but try not to be in a hurry to move onto 3-4. Try to stick with the program. Weights are easier, no doubt. You can also pause the dvd while you get set up with the bands and after awhile moving the bands to proper position should start to get easier.I would try to eat something small like a piece of toast before the workout but if you wait 60-90 minutes after your workout to eat I don't think that's too big of a deal. In fact research indicates that your natural levels of hGH spike in the 1-2 hours following a workout and eating during that time can actually cause those levels to drop. But don't go starving yourself, if you're hungry then eat.

I workout first thing in the a.m. too. I usually don't eat anything before the workout, but if I do it's half a banana or granola bar. Immediately afterwards I have my homemade version of a recovery drink....milk, protein powder, banana, and if we have it I'll put in some yogurt or flax seed. I'll have a bigger breakfast about 90min later when i get to work.I do Ab ripper at night.

 

[ex-ghost]

Just finished week 1, again. This is the 4th time I have started and gosh darnit I am going to finish this time.

Question, I am 5'10'' about 220 lbs. Without following the diet that well, but eliminating my old habit of 1-2 sodas a day, eating fast food 3x week and drinking 2 beers a day, what kind of expectations should I have regarding weight loss after 4 weeks?

Also, Kempo just seems too easy. I always feel like the black guy in the back is laughing at Tony because it is so easy and Tony is making it seem so hard.

 

[wilked]

Why not try and follow the diet?

Sounds very similar to my situation. 4 weeks? Not a whole lot, just was feeling better physically.Don't be me. Follow the diet.Side note: I'm rotating Cardio X and Core Synergistics for a while after my first round.

 

[ex-ghost]

Why not try and follow the diet?

I am trying, but not as hard as I should be. So many excuses to why not, but they are just that - excuses.

10 days in and GAINED 5 pounds. Maybe it all went to my guns.....

If you don't stick with a good diet on P90X you are basically bailing water from a sinking ship, in my opinion

Also, your weight can swing up to 5 lbs during the day due to water... Do you weigh yourself daily or was this a one time thing?

You really shouldn't be gaining or losing 5 lbs in a week's time...

Weighed myself the same time of the day, 10 days after the first time. I did have quite a bit of water this morning.I do not agree with the bailing water analogy, at least for me. After not doing much in terms of exercise over the past year to working out almost every day is a HUGE benefit.

Week 4 of P90 and I have had a really hard time getting motivated this week. Been really tuough to drag my self out of bed and hit play. I'll probably move up to 3-4 after next week.
