Today is Day 1.....

[bombtek]

of me starting P90X.
Wish me luck.....I watched part of the DVD series last night. This looks like it is gonna hurt!!

I had to search it to see what the hell P90X was.

Good luck. Take before, during and after shots so you will be able to see the difference.

Good luck! I almost fell for the infomercial and bought it but I went cheap and got the Iron Gym instead (chin/pull-up bar that goes on the inside of a door frame). I do push ups and sit ups already but man...forgotten how hard pull ups can be I swear I could only do 6 or so a at time I took it slow and can bust off 15 or so. I usually do reps of 15-12-10 and try to do 40-60 a day. I notice a difference in my upper body tone. Now that there is more daylght I can get back to running 3-5 times a week for the cardio ( got about 5-7 lbs of winter fat I need to get off) and I'd look fairly ripped

Be patient and don't try to do too much too soon. I imagine with the muscle confusion techiques your gonna be sore in places you never thought you had. Most of those folks in the informercials werent really too out of shape to begin with so dont get discouraged if you dont get those kinda results that as fast. Slow and steady until you can keep up....let us know how it goes

Remember, muscles adapt to routine very quickly causing shape and growth to come more slowly. Shock your body with a variety of routines and exercises so it doesn't adapt quickly. Mix it up.

That is the entire premise of P90X.....your muscles will never get the chance to become "complacent" ....for lack of a better term....it is based almost entirely on "muscle confusion".

Sorry, didn't know P90 focused on that.

I use to work out years ago and some of the good info stays with you.

Oh..... and as a side note, today is Day 70 being cigarette free. I stopped the day after Christmas cold turkey and have not puffed on one since....never thought I'd quit those damn things!!!

[atomic charvel guy]

i had 70 cigarettes before lunch today
congrats are in order bomber, i'd love to stop
but they're all i have left. one thing at a time.
somehow i remain pretty skinny. i eat tons of
grease, deep fat, it's gotta all catch up to me sooner or later.
pizza, cheeseburgers, red meat, i'm like a T-Rex.
