Day 3 is in the books. The soreness is starting to compound.
One thing about this workout is you can definitely notice the specific muscles that are being targeted once the workout is over. For instance, today was Arms & Shoulders followed by Abs. After the workouts you can definitely tell those muscles have been worked.
Today was a bit of a weird day. Stacy worked overtime and I had a meeting at 6:30 and didn't get home until 9:30pm. So, we both did the Shoulder and Arm workout separately and then once I got home we did Abs together.
It makes a big difference having someone to workout with. It pushes you and makes you not slack near as much!
Tomorrow is YOGA!
When I saw Yoga was tomorrow I was kindve excited, but after hearing from some P90x graduates I am scared now.
We will see...

P90x: Day 3 (Morning)
UPDATE:
Its now the morning of Day 3 only 87 more days to go!
Both Stacy and I are very sore from our Day 1 workout (Chest and Back). It turns out that having these high intensity workouts in the evening set you up for a very hard sleep and make it MUCH harder to get up in the morning...got to push through though.
We will have to have a quick workout tonight. Stacy is working some overtime and I have a meeting at 7:00pm.
More later...

P90x: Day 2 Plyometrics (Post Workout)
It turns out that eating at the right time makes a HUGE difference in stamina and strength. Albeit I am no where near eating "right" yet. I can only imagine the difference once the nutrional plan and schedule are working together with the workout and not against it!
As for the workout...it was tough. We took around 4 differnt 30 second breaks in addtion to what was already written in to the workout.
He started out by saying this was the toughest workout in the whole series and being that this is our first time to go throug hthe toughest workout in one of the toughest workout programs out there, I think it would be suffice to say this is the toughest 1 hour workout we will ever have.
I kept saying that to my self and to Stacy at the 20minute and 40minute mark. Luckily, toward the 45 minute mark the excercises started decreasing in intensity.
All in all, I think we did a great job on our second day.
No vomiting.
No toilet hugging.
No passign out.
All those are a plus. Now its time to get to the shower, crank up the High Def and get ready for LOST!

P90x: Day 1 (Post Workout)
Wow....I knew it would be an intense workout but....wow. So I said in my previous post that we had read through all the material. Apparently, I missed the part about WHEN to eat. It was a busy day yesterday and I didn't get around to eating lunch until 3:00pm. Then, when I did eat I couldn't find much in the fridge so I wound up eating a few eggs and drinking some milk. And, judging by my wife's laughter when I told her what I drank as I was hugging the toilet halfway through the workout, your not suppose to do that.
So, Day 1 = Not a good experience.
I made it through 33 minutes before my intense urge to hurl and pass out. By that point in the workout I was shaking and could barely stand. After about 15 minutes laying on the floor my sense returned and I cracked open the nutrition guide to find my mistake. I was able to return for the last 5-10 minutes of the work out (Chest & Back) and I was able to go through the entire Ab Ripper X workout.
Today I plan to eat better!!
On another note: Stacy killed the workout though!
Neither of us have ever worked out on any type of regular basis for any long period of our lives. So P90x is quite a change for us.
I did like the video, Tony has very timely advice and does a good job of letting you know that you simply need to "Do your best and forget the rest". As corny as that sounds it helps a lot!

P90x: Day 1 (Pre Workout)
We were suppose to start Day 1 last Monday but I came down with a head cold so we delayed until yesterday (3/29). So, all week I have been anticipating today. My wife, Stacy, and I both are going through the Classic program together. We have always talked about finding a good workout/nutrition program to live by ever since we got married a few years back, but we never chose one and time has gotten away from us.
So, we made that one of our New Years resolutions. So here we are 4 months later, we finally chose P90x, we ordered the materials and bought some of the equipment. Now its time to act!
Neither one of us have alot of weight to lose. Stacy would like to lose 5-10lbs and I would like to stay right were I am (185lbs). We both want to tighten everything up a litle bit and change out a little of the flab for some more muscle. So, out goal is to be fit in time for Memorial Day weekend!
If we stick to the P90 plan then we should be finishing on June the 12th, just a week or two after the holiday.
So here we go!
