Well, this day has finally come! I just completed day 90 of the P90X workout! Time has flown by, and I can’t believe that round 1 of P90X is over! I’m officially a P90X graduate! It’s been a great journey and I’m excited now more than ever to continue pushing forward with my trek of fitness and health!
Yoga X went great today! I got deep into all of the poses and stretches, and I pushed as hard as I could during Yoga Belly 7. At the end of each Vinyasa where you do a push up, I actually did 2 push ups each time. That helped step up the intensity of each series of Vinyasas. I stumbled like usual during the Half Moon to the Twisting Half Moon but I did my best and held the moves as long as possible.
I’ve got a lot to do now that I completed my first round of P90X! I’ve got to re-take my measurements, I need to re-take my photos, and I also need to do the P90X Fit Test again. Unfortunately, this weekend I’ve got my Coast Guard drills, so I won’t be able to post my final measurements and my new photos until Sunday or even Monday. I’ll then probably make a separate post summarizing my P90X results and my final Fit Test results.
So what’s next after P90X?!? The plan as of right now is that I’m going to take a week off (I’ll probably still do abbreviated versions of some of the workouts), and then the following Sunday I’m going to start round 2 of P90X with my wife. She was going to start P90X Lean on her own this coming up Sunday, but after discussing it with her we decided to do it together. The only thing is, she won’t be able to do the last Recovery Week because she is going on a mission trip to Jamaica with her church. During this round of P90X I hope to actually get some videos of her and I doing the workouts (even though my camera creates pretty low quality videos).
For everyone else doing P90X, keep giving the workouts 100% and stay tuned for my P90X results!

Breakfast: Bowl of Fiber One cereal and a protein shake.
Mid-Morning: Protein shake.
Lunch: Tuna sandwich on whole wheat bread.
Mid-Afternoon: Protein shake.
Dinner: I think tonight we are going to be having some shrimp and some veggies.

CHEERS! Im proud of you man. How do you feel? I don’t think you ever skipped a workout from my recollection, minus maybe an x-strech. Looks like I’ll be a few days behind you on round 2 due to the leg. Maybe I’ll just wait a few more days after so we sync up minus the recovery weeks.
Leg feels pretty good. Maybe I’m just a speedy recoverer…
Maybe this round I’ll keep a blog as well!

What site is your blog through?

It’s a WordPress blog that is hosted on my own server. You could easily create a free blog and just use WordPress’ servers.

I appreciate it Brad! I feel awesome!! I’d feel better though if I ate better this weekend! I had my Coast Guard drills and they served the same greasy, fried food that they did last month and the month before. O well! I ended up jumping on the treadmill last night and I ran 2.5 miles to help burn off the crap.
That’s great to hear that your leg is getting better! Just don’t over do it!!
If you start a blog then you definitely have to become a Beachbody Coach! :-)

Hello, sir. Just to keep you updated. My leg feels normal and I think I’m going to go ahead and start round 2 today! I went for a mile jog to test it yesterday and felt nothing out of the normal. Either I’m superman or the doc completely misdiagnosed the severity of the injury. Or maybe I whined too much, who knows. I will take it easy on plyo/legs and back though just in case.
Anyways, I’ll start the blogging today as well hopefully. http://ipushthelimits.blogspot.com/
Let see how long I keep up with it! Also, thinking of a name for the blog was tough!

That’s great! I’m really glad that you’ve made such a fast recovery. I agree that it’s definitely a good idea to take it easy and not push yourself too hard at this point.
I like the name of your blog. It took me awhile to think of something too. I’m starting round 2 this upcoming Sunday. I’m already getting anxious to start P90X round 2! What are you going to give up this time that you didn’t during round 2?

I was pretty good about no soda…so as much as I hate it…I’m going to attempt no beer, especially during the week.

That sounds like a good thing to give up! I’m sure you’d see some major improvements this next round of P90X by giving up beer. You could always reward yourself once a month and have a few if that helps you stick with it. You can do it!!!

I tried finding a link to something that listed all of the exercises in the videos in case I wasn’t home with my DVD’s for whatever reason. You have a site bookmarked like that?

No I don’t have anything like that. I think the best thing for that is the P90X Fitness Guide since it has all of the exercises listed in it. You’ll just have to remember to bring it with you. :-)

Hey brother, i dont know if you have it but i have the whole p 90 x workout record log on access. that is where I enter in my daily progress. it also works where to list what exercise you do for each day. Another option i di as well was take the dvds and convert them to mp4 for my computer and ipod. That is what i take with me over seas. Instead of the dvd . I leave the dvds home with liz when i go on deployment so they dont get messed up… Let me know if you want the access program. it is great for tracking the daily accomplishmentsa and shows your imporvement over weeks. It is a really good program…

DOUGG! Good to hear from you!!! I hope everything is going well!!
Is the record log you’re talking about in an excel file? If so, I think I have that, but I’d love to see what you’ve got since it might be different. You can email it to me here- jonathan@trek2befit.com
That’s a great idea to convert them to mp4′s so you have them on your computer and ipod. You can literally take the workouts anywhere you go! Sounds like you’ve gone through the whole program already? I finished my first round of P90X a little over 2 weeks ago. It kicked my butt, but I’m definitely in the best shape than I have ever been in before. I started another round of P90X last Sunday. Jenny is doing this round with me and it’ll be her first time doing it.
Again it is great hearing from you! Jenny and I both miss you. Take care!!

Cool, thanks Doug! Yea, kicking the soda for me was one of the hardest things. I absolutely love the taste of some good ole’ Coca-Cola! I don’t follow the P90X nutrition guide exactly as well, I just try to eat a high protein, high fiber diet and avoid the fried food.
Stay safe in Afg. and we can’t wait to see you when you get back!

I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray, hooray, hooray. We finished this weekend and took our final pictures. So here are the final results: 23 lbs down and 19 inches lost overall. Amazing results and I feel awesome. We leave for Vegas in a few days for a much deserved break and then we begin Classic/insanity hybrid beginning July. We will definately keep pushing play. I still want to lose another 15-20 lbs and hubby wants to bulk up a bit. I will restart posting on your day one once we start up again. Enjoy the next few weeks.

CONGRATS!!! Great job! WOW! 23lbs down, and 19 inches lost is incredible! You definitely do deserve the trip to Vegas! Have fun!
Yes, please do keep me updated on how the Classic/Insanity Hybrid goes. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do yet, but I think it'll be the hybrid, but who knows!
Awesome job again and I hope you enjoy the next few weeks as well!

Hello there,
My name is Danny and I am about to do P90X. A little over two months ago, I came across your experience with P90X. Motivated by your experience with P90X, I began the program on April 12 and got up to the end of phase 2 (60 days). Unfortunately, during the week of my 2nd recovery week (prior to starting phase 3), my family and I traveled to see other family members that we have not seen in years. During that 3 week timeframe, I was never able to find the time to continue and eventually lost the motivation to keep going.
Because of my absence and the time that has passed, I feel that it may be best for me for start over again from day 1. Hopefully I haven't lost too much ground, but even if I had, I'm sure I'm more in shape than I was on April 12th and my first week of P90X. If I could gain anything from this site, it is to perfect my workouts and diet this time around, hopefully through your experience and motivation.
Any advice would be certainly welcome.
Thanks for posting your detailed experience and know that it has been very helpful to those of us who are searching for motivation and answers regarding P90X.

I appreciate the kind words Danny! Great job for getting through 60 days of P90X, and for committing to start the program over! There are a lot of people that never make it as far as you have, so you should still be proud of yourself!
I wouldn't worry about the 3 week break too much! Things like that do happen (that's life), but what you do going forward is what matters! If I was in your situation, I would do the same thing and just start the program over. I also completely agree that I'm sure you're in better shape than when you started.
I think that is a great plan to try to perfect your workouts and the diet. A lot people think they will get incredible results just by doing the workouts and continuing with their usual diet. They will still probably see some positive results from P90X, but not the kind of results if they had stuck with a clean, healthy diet. If you have any friends or family around you that are interested in P90X, you should try to get them to do the program with you and start at the same time. Doing this 2nd round of P90X with my wife has really helped me stick with it. She pushes me when I'm down, and I do the same thing for her.
Don't ever hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or need advice, etc. Also, let me know we you re-start P90X! I look forward to hearing about your progress! Have an awesome day!
