I hadn't read the documentation properly when I made this post and didn't have all the equipment I needed. I have now, and am just on my four minute rest after push-ups. Knackered!

Anyone else using this P90xcel spreadsheet?

Yes I found that spreadsheet too, pretty useful. Was going to start this week but work has been a nightmare and friends staying this weekend. Going to start next week properly, quite looking forward to it!

How's everyone getting on?

After a poor effort from me for a couple of weeks (family visits, trips away etc.) I am back on it this week. Rather than just skip weeks, I'm redoing week 3 again. If anything, the break has helped my nagging knee injury recover and PlyoX was no issue a few days ago.

I'm noticing the belly going down now but annoyed that I didn't take proper measurements at the start. I did weight myself and it was shocking. I could tell I had put some weight on as clothes were tighter, but tbh, the weight I had got to was just embarrassing, I can't even bring myself to fess up to it on here!
I've not been back to the scales since. I think it will hit my motivation badly if I haven't shifted much weight (even though I know muscle weighs more etc.)

Motivation is high though and I din't intend it to slip again.

What do the workouts consist of? I currently do running training 3 times a week, would I still be able to fit this in?

I've kinda jumped in at the deep end, never really seriously did any weight training before just the odd few months in the gym here and there but somehow I've made it to week 5.

Overall, it's been an enjoyable experience on the whole so far but those first 2 weeks were tough. Workouts are getting easier now but I'm still struggling to keep up on some exercises, 15 reps on chin up bars... no chance I can just about do 4.
Don't know how you guys are staying motivated to go through yoga it's boring me, I guess with the pace and intensity of the other workouts it just feels like your not doing anything and its kind of tempting to replace it with something else.

My main aim was weightloss, loose the love handles and trim down the gut so from that perspective I don't think p90x was intended to be a weightloss program as such. What I mean is that there are probably more efficient ways to just loose weight but p90x should help to loose weight whilst hopefully minimizing lean muscle loss.

So far it works, I've noticed changes shoulders feel a bit bigger, stomach has trimmed a bit but supposedly the major changes occur in phase 2 and 3. Diet is key and I'm kind of struggling to hit the ratios, being a veggie my protein intake tends to come with a bit more carbs. I'm averaging about 1300 cals net, the diet plan in p90x assumes you burn roughly 500-600 cals per workout.

I didn't use any supplements for the first month but have started taking creatine, glutamine and bcaa's. The bcaa's definitely help with the recovery, you feel less sore the next morning.

Also don't know if any of you guys have a jailbroken iphone, but there is a p90x app that is very useful and makes it easy to log your reps and weights for each exercise. For some reason it't not available on the Uk app store but is on the USA one.

If your thinking of trying p90x and you can commit to one hour a day then IMO the hardest challenge is having the will power to hit play day after day, well that and trying to eat clean as possible for 3 months.

Day 3 today and I'm dead on my feet! My legs and arse cheeks are killing from last night's Plyometrics, my chest is still hurting from Tuesday's chest & back. Don't even mention my abs.

Loving it so far.

Last day today! (bar the recovery week). Will post my report later this evening!

Well first day done. Workout this morning was pretty tough and took much longer than expected as I had to keep pausing the DVD to do my reps then restart it again as I don't have the speed Tony has on the DVD. Guess I'll get used to it a bit more as the week goes on and hopefully increase the intensity. Food wise it's been interesting! I'm tracking everything in Myfitnesspal and have fallen about 300 short on the calories, spot on with carbs and slightly down on protein. Think I'm going to need to increase the portion sizes somewhat to hit the 2400 calories I'm meant to be taking in for Level II. Found it quite hard to eat that many calories yet still stick with healthy low carb high protein foods. Still early days yet and Plyometrics tomorrow morning followed by Karate in the evening if I can walk!

Hi all, have been watching this thread with interest. Sounds like this could be the programme for me. A couple of questions (sorry if some are a bit dumb!). Had read a few comments that the multi region discs won't play on a PS3 - is this the case? I don't have anywhere to fit a bar so would need to use the resistance bands - are these effective? Doubt I could do 6 days a week due to other commitments so can this be done say 4/5 days a week? I guess if so 90 days might become 120 days? How much space do you need to complete the workouts - is a standard living room adaquate? Finally, what happens after you complete the programme successfully, is there a maintance plan to follow so that you don't lose all the gains you make? Cheers in advance.

I'm thinking of going through the routine again, but want to get a different set of weights, as unscrewing my set and adding/subtracting weights every 2 minutes added loads of time to the workout, has anyone got a set of the adjustable weights like these:

And if so, what are they like? Don't want to buy them and find the mechanism breaks after a few weeks.
