Is this 'normal' and once they've recovered have another go...??
Ease into it and start the program hardcore in a few weeks?

If you don't regularly exercise your upper body then you will feel the effects. Do they not have a programme for breaking into it before you do the proper thing? I know P90X is pretty hardcore.

I'll have to flick through the discs, but I'm sure there is one.

If there isn't perhaps do it for a shorter time or at half speed or something.

There's no session to guide you in, other than the brief fitness test.

Stick with it, you'll get used to it. Besides - it's a nice feeling

This morning I seem to have regained movement!

Plyometrics tonight then.

Ahh - I'm glad this thread is back and timely too.

I lost the momentum on P90X last Autumn having got about half way through it as a result of work being done on the house so no space to do it. Started to loose the gains I'd made from the first run through and what I did of the second.

This evening is Plyometrics evening - the second week of what will be the third run through!

Anyone seen anything of P90X3 yet?

I’ve been doing this the past week and figured I’d post on here and see if anyone else is still giving this a go?

Nutrition seems to be the difficult bit for me. I find it hard to eat well and eat the 2800 calories I calculate I need using the P90X guide. I’m currently on about 2000 and find that enough to get me through the day but from what I understand is that if you’re not eating enough carbs/fat/protein per the specified ratios etc you might not achieve the desired results. Did anyone eat less than the guides and achieve good results? I have a breakdown written down of my carbs/protein/fat below as a rough calculation.

Chicken 300 grams 70g protein

Yoghurt 200 grams 20g protein
Whey 30 grams 23g protein
Nuts 25 grams 13g fat
Blueberries 75g 10g carbs/sugar

Bulkpowders aftermath recovery drink 70g 20g carbs 40g protein

Egg whites 200grams, 10grams protein
Egg 6g fat 8g protein
Oats -30g 18g carbs
Milk 100ml 5g carbs/sugar

Carbs 55 should be 142
Protein 180 should be 237
Fats 19 should be 42

Cottage cheese low fat 200grams and maybe a wholemeal bagel
And a protein flapjack/protein bar if on the go.
