Is my view distorted from seeing Cathe, Jai and the other ladies with their great muscular cuts or are the ladies in the P90X workouts not very cut? With the exception of Drea, the others are toned, but appear more as an average fit person. Whereas, alot of the guys are cut. I appreciate the...

Not to get off track, but good gravy, what an adorable dog!

Dianne: If you have a band, you can still do the workouts. I have a Bowflex machine and a Door Gym. I started out using the Bowflex until I built up my back muscles a bit as I've never focused on them enough. Now I'm using the Door Gym with a chair for an assist and have even managed to...

Ok, thanks Nancy!

Maybe I missed the post, but I recall that you were awaiting some test results. Did they come in and what were they? Just thinking about you.

RE: The Just to chime in here; I'm on week 5. I have noticed that my flexibility has improved (I'm not very flexible at all) as well as my functional fitness level has definitely risen as P90X incorporates alot of core work overall. My legs feel firmer overall so far. I still have some...

Yes, I am feeling it in my back, so maybe I'm ok. I think I might just need to find a better chair. All I have is a step up stool and all my kitchen chairs have round tops, so I'm kinda not finding my sweet spot. I will say that today I did two underhand pull ups unassisted for the first...

When you're using a chair to assist in pull-ups, are you actually pushing down on the chair? I mean, basically are you using one leg to help push your body up and that's the assist? I've been doing P90X for 5 weeks now and I'm just not sure I'm doing it right. I keep replaying what the girls...

Shelley your pics are very inspiring! I'm on the first week of Phase II and I'm not following the P90X diet either. I'm so envious that you can do one arm pushups! Man, that chest, shoulders and tricep workout made me feel like an 80 pound weakling. I'd love to hear a couple of before and...

On that note, Dr. Oz was on Oprah the other day and said that as we age and move into "mid life" our metabolism's only slow down a very little bit and it's a myth that it slows way down, even with women and menopause. Anyway, he said the reason people in middle life start to lose their health...

Has anyone had this happen? I was doing leg lifts over a stool for P90X Plyo and hit the side of my knee. My vein instantly swelled up and was blue and hurt. Kinda creepy looking. I put ice on it and am elevating my leg. What he heck is going on here?

I'm only halfway through so I'm not an expert, but 30 minutes wouldn't get you through any of the workouts without cutting out a portion of them. You would still get a workout and fitness improvements as with any exercise, but not the same as you would if you did the complete program.

Yeah, and just to chime in here, I felt very worked out on my recovery week. I found Core Synergistics tough and especially 90 minutes of yoga 2 times in the week really pushed me to my limits. I'm not very flexible and have never been a fan of yoga. I still completely struggle, but I feel...

Thanks so much for the encouragement. It's pretty clear then, my muscles are confused! ha And in my earlier post I meant I spent my whole time on my knees, not toes.

I have been able to build up to a good amount of regular toe pushups due to phase 1 and all the pushups you do in that workout. So, I was surprised when I did chest, shoulders and triceps today and could barely do any. I spent most of my time on my toes! I also have weak wrists and usually...

I just finished phase 1 of P90x and started phase 2 today. I felt like I really struggled with weights today in chest, shoulders and triceps and was wondering if it was because of the recovery week. Although it was still a tough week with yoga and core synergistics. Anyone experience this?

I bought mine from eBay (only the DVD's) and got the rotations from the ladies here and didn't need anything else, so you'll be fine.

Oh man, I'm jealous! I guess the good news is that this rotation is obviously hitting me in my weak areas that I didn't even know existed.

And of course they make it look so easy!

Wow, I thought my abs were in great shape until I tried the banana rolls in P90X Core Synergistics. I actually felt like my lower abs were on the verge of pulling a muscle. Has anyone out there mastered these?
