Feeling a difference with p90x

[saldidacus82 0]

Whats crackin folks, just thought I'd chime in on a little program I started you might have heard of it, P90x...just wanted to say that I'm on the verge of starting day 3 today and I have to say I'm hooked. I've never allowed my weight problem stop me from staying active so I gotta say I have a bit of an advantage heading into the program there. For any of you who are afraid of trying it I'm here to tell you dont be afraid to try it if you're physically able to. I'm about 9 weeks post-op 18lbs down and with this program I can already feel I'm heading in the right direction. Now granted I'm not going at it full force (the doc said to not over do it to allow the sutures to heal correctly) but I try my hardest on every exercise thats the trick to this beast of a work out. Try your hardest and you will eventually get to the point where doing the work is easy. I hope to have lost 2 more lbs by this weekend. I have got to say having the lapband changed my life and without it I probably wouldnt have had the guts to go out and try P90x. I'm really looking forward to seeing both these projects through to their fullest extent. Now get off your butts and go work out!!!!

I bought P90X to help get rid of the last 20-30 lbs I am holding onto... mainly to change things up from my 4 times a week spinning, two times a week of aqualogix and a recently added day of kickboxing. I think I might be in an exercise rut. Nice to hear its going well for you. I have to figure out a way fit the P90X workouts into my schedule though. Some days are a morning and night workout, right? How much actual room do you need to do the workouts? I live in a tiny studio apartment and don't have much room! Did you get the chin up bar? If not, how do you do that part?

oh wow well good luck to you in your workout "rut", as for your questions...it will not get to 2-a-days till later in the program, i'm starting out with the first phase of it which is the "lean" phase so basically from the bottom rung. I work out with my BFF in my living room which gives us a space of about 8 x 6 or so. I dont have the chin up bar yet but I will get one once i'm required to use it. the trick is building yourself up through the program, if you're someone w/out a lot of strength or endurance its best to start out with the lean phase...if you're someone whose already active and can deal with the grind its best to do the P90 part which includes more weight work, as well as chin ups and pull ups. but in the dvds tony instructs you on ways to modify it i just havent got there yet. again good luck to you as well

I think the best thing to do without the manuals would be to follow your lap band eating plan... From what I can tell the P90X plan increases volumes, so I am going to make sure I get plenty of Protein in the form of supplements. For you though, I would wait to start for a good time after you have already healed from the surgery, tackle the new eating program first, it is the hardest part. When I first was banded I was in such bad shape I started with lots of walks every day, 15 minutes at a time, and I was out of breath and sweating from just that. Don't do too much all at once or you will go crazy. Even with the walking only, the weight FELL off of me in the beginning.

Good luck!

After I hit enter, I realized how short that response was, and I usually don't do that. I feel badly for doing that. It really is a pretty intense workout. I currently do an hour of spin class four times a week, an hour of aqualogix twice a week, and an hour of kickboxing once a week... I wouldn't even consider the P90X if I hadn't been doing that regimen for a year now. I don't know your situation, but when I started with the band I weight 315, was 38 years old, and hadn't exercised in at least 10 years. P90X would have killed me if I tried it then.

Good luck!!!!!!!

Yeah I just stick to my lapband eating plan...I do however have access to the meal plan I can email that to you right now if you'd like but as long as you're burning what you're eating and taking in plenty of Protein you'll be fine. Also if you're going to jump on p90x make sure you get their recovery formula from www.beachbody.com . it totally works and you need it after such an intense work out. I'll email you what i have right now.

I have P90X and it kicks my butt every time!! It's an awesome workout, I did the first 5 discs. Plyometrics was so hard!!! But I felt awesome after the workout. I would definitely suggest a Protein Shake post workout, you need to replenish! MY copy is a boot leg, if anyone has the manual of which exercised to do when/how/what order they'd like to share, let me know!! My email is alk0807@yahoo.com,

I am so grateful saldidacus82 that you started this thread!! I have been wanting to get P90x for quite some time but always wondered how all the other stuff would benefit me (besides the work part) with the lapband. I am not banded yet but I want to have everything ready and on hand so I can get started so as i get the go ahead from my dr. to work out intensely!! I am so excited!! Thanks again!!

Hi...first post :smile2:...i'm still looking at doctors, etc., but i like to be prepared and i really want to do p90x. my question is: when you say "recovery formula," are you talking about shakeology? if so, how's that taste?
