Has anyone done the P90X exercise program? Did you do it for the entire 90 days? Hubby and I started it last week. I have never worked so hard, or been so sore! I thought for my age (47), I was in pretty good shape, until I started this program. Before starting this program, I had been lifting weights, two or three days a week and I did 12 miles a week on the treadmill. That was nothing, compared to P90X! I do like that this program has such a good combination of exercise. You lift weights, do push ups, pull ups, Kenpo, Yoga, and Plyometyrics, and a very intense ab workout! So far, we have done okay with it. Although we did only make it thru about 45 minutes of the hour and half Yoga workout, and about half way thru the ab workout! I thought the Kenpo was actually fun! The days that you concentrate on legs is tough, and I was very sore after that workout! Back, shoulders, chest and arms were also difficult, but at least they offer modifications if you need them!

Umm....thanks. I guess this was for those who can't read.

The P90x infomercial is pretty intriquing. Would you please update on your progress with the program and the results you achieve? I think I recall you posting that your previous workout routine was pretty good but that you had plateaued a bit....it will be interesting to see if this program gives you a push in the direction you want to go...

I've never done it but I have a couple friends who have done it off and on and when they're doing it they're always complaining about how hard it is and how bad they hurt. It sounds pretty intense.

I will keep you updated. You do your measurements and weight every 30 days, so I will let you know the results. We are one week in! I am anxious to see if it was the push I needed to get to where I really want to be. My hubby and both our daughters are also doing it, so it has become a family thing. It has been a nice bonding experience for all of us! We are all trying to keep our spirits up, because it is a very hard program, and you must also follow an eating plan. The people in the video are insane. I cannot get over some of the women who can pop out 40 push ups, and then do 40 pull ups (and you repeat them several times with different grips and positions).....and they aren't even out of breath! I am still trying to get past 12 push ups!

I was watching this infomercial last night (couldn't sleep!) and it looks soooo hard! I am in my 40's too and work out at a fitness club regularly, but this looks too intense for me. I would love those abs tho......can I just buy a set of abs?????

DH suggested I do it after I had DD last February. He already had it and has used it off and on. I lost all my baby weight pretty fast. It is super hard though. I didn't stick to the schedule they give you for what discs to do when. Some of them I could not do at all, so don't feel bad at all!!
