Nothing wrong with that! I'm too impatient to wait for shipping sometimes. I want my workouts now!

Part 12!!

P90X ROCKS!!!

I didn't have time to do plyo this morning, but I am going to do it as soon as I get home! I need this group to keep me honest because its pretty hard to jump around for an hour at 8:30 at night without some sort of motivation. Haha.

Also, quick question for all of you HRM gurus out there - which is the best one out there considering cost, comfort, and accuracy? I've been looking to buy one for awhile now, but it's almost impossible to find a strapless one that gives reliable readings. I really prefer not to, but I'll get one with a chest strap as long as its not very uncomfortable or noticeable under my shirt.

Any suggestions? Thanks, guys. You're awesome!

I love my Polar F6. It does have a chest strap, and I thought it would bug me but I don't even notice it. I wear it under the 'girls' and my sports bra goes on top of it. Easy.

The strapless HRMs are not the least bit realiable. My vote is for a Polar.

I have also been meaning to tell you your arms look awesome!

I definitely need to get some heavier weights but i have seen some great improvments and have gotten some great compliments! I was happy to report to my father in law that I am almost finished with P90X as he thought I'd quit!

Maybe I'll even try insanity before I start another round of P90X. It's fun to mix it up!

sorry i started a new thread under motivation and support not realizing this one had already been started!

i have a suunto with a chest strap and although it took me a little bit to figure out how to work it, it seems reliable and chest strap is not uncomfy or noticeable! i love being able to see how many calories i've burned and what heart rate zones I was in!

tried cardio x for the first time yesterday as I wasn't feeling chest and back. it was cool. liked the combo of all the workouts! skipped plyo today... :( I know it's not ideal but i had errands to run this morn and after i got home i was enjoying just spending time cuddling and playing with my 3 yr old! shoulders and arms tomorrow though!

do you think it'd be ok to do plyo on thurs with fri being legs and back?

Another thumbs up for the Polar F6!! Love mine, the strap is very comfortable and it is really accurate!

Thank you!! Yep, heavy weights and intense cardio is a good combo for me. I think you're ok to switch up the workouts sometimes if you need to. Just remember to do your yoga or Sandy will come after you!!

It is fun to switch up the workouts! I love having such a good variety!!

5 mile run for me this morning. Ab Ripper X done tonight while watching The Biggest Loser!

anyone know how to delete a thread since i also started thread 12 not realizing someone had already started one????? someone new posted on it and I don't want there to be confusion!

yes, i know yoga is important...i don't want Sandy coming after me!

just checking in to hold the post

Speaking of . . . Jess, have you given Patience a try yet?

I don't, but you also never have to worry about starting a new thread. Once a thread reaches 500 posts, the MFP Gods automatically lock out the old and start a new.

Now go do 5 sun salutations as penance.

Just finished Plyo. I'm frustrated. But I might know the reason! Plyo was great last week. This morning it was just hard. I got tired and just didn't have a lot of energy. I was feeling tired before I did it, even though I slept in this morning. I waited about 3 hours after breakfast before doing Plyo. I figure I should've ate a snack. Argh. Will take a long walk later.

Oh and I resisted the eggnog today. I put some in my cart (the Silk kind - half the cals. and fat) and right before I checked out I put it back. I told myself I can have a glass when I finish P90X.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Back & Biceps + ARX done this morning. I had planned on sleeping in, but I just couldn't do it. My body wanted me up, and I crushed the workout!

TByrd: Yeah, I'm sure a banana would have made all the difference with Plyo this morning. No worries. Lesson learned, right? FANTASTIC job putting that egg nog away too!!

Looking at everyone's picks makes me want to pass all of you up. Ya'll look awesome. I am in the first stages of P90X, but I have tons to shed, so hopefully one day I will look that great.

Everyone here is such an inspiration! I'm in month 2 of my first round. I too have lots to shed!
Welcome, you'll do amazing!

Welcome! Just remember that we all had to start somewhere. I didn't look like this on day 1!

Did Shoulders & Arms + ARX at 6am this morning. One of my roommates came out to see what the noise was as Tony was doing his pterodactyl impression during the warm-up, promptly turned around, and went back to bed.

Thanks for the feedback on the HRM! I did some more research online, and I saw a lot of the same thing: people loved the Polar F6, but those who later upgraded to the FT40 said it was definitely worth the extra $50. I found a FT40 for $40 + free shipping! I'm so excited to finally not have to "guesstimate" how many calories I burned.

I'm just starting too! And I feel EXACTLY the same way. Haha. Let's motivate each other!

I have a Polar RS300X that I just got last week and I absolutely love it. It does have a chest strap and I place it in the same place Sandy does. I hardly even know it is there. It is pretty kewl because I can get a foot pod attachment later on that will rate my distance and speed. Could not afford that at this time. Mine was $149.99. I can say that it has already paid for itself.

Ha. Sorry. That's supposed to say $40 OFF. Because a $40 accurate HRM would be a small miracle.

haha...I'll get right on that after ab ripper!

good job putting the egg nog back! It will get easier and easier!

Shoulders and arms done today and whoo did I feel it. I've been able to up my weight on many of the exercises so that is always cool!

well, time to log off and bring it on ab ripper!

I am a part-time P90Xer. I love the work-outs but to much for me when I have to work 10 hour night shifts. I switch it up with the 10 min trainer on my work weeks. I still do yoga, streach and ab ripper on my "off" week.

I am stronger, I just haven't dropped any weight. So now I have to be better about food, its kinda hard when you live with someone who takes in 2500-3000 calories a day.

Back and Biceps + ARX. Love that workout. Used some 15's! Whoooooo. I feel like a friggin animal. It's great.

Everyone have an awesome day!

Hi All,

I thought that I posted a comment to this thread a few days ago but don't see it.

I haven't spent a whole lot of time on these message boards - usually post to my wowy message board - but came across this the other day and was super excited to see others here that love the P90X program as well.

I am currently involved in Month 2 of the Insanity program - WOW is all you can say.
