P90X - Week 1 - (Day 1 to 7)

I started P90X on July 9, 2009. I weigh in at 174 lbs. Here are my pictures. My goal is to reach 160 lbs after 90 days. I wake up early in the morning. Sometimes as early as 5:30. So I really need time and dedication to finish this journey. Imagine punishing yourself at 5:30 am (lol) and seeing your wife quietly sleeping on the bed.

For the first 3 days (Day 1-3) I didn't pushed myself to the limit. I don't want to happen again my experience on my first encounter with P90X. I now know my limitation, but for the last three days, I see that my strength and conditioning are going better and better.

I followed every step and moves in the first six days except for two in YOGA X (Crane and Plough to shoulder stand). I believe I can't do those moves for now. I'm afraid of getting injured. Maybe I can do it before the first month ends.

I can't say which is the hardest, but they say that it's Yoga X. Maybe. My sweat is not stopping after doing the first 30 minutes of it. Easiest they say is Kenpo X (day 6). Which is like Karate (sort of) with punching and kicking, and punching and kicking. I followed the video from start to finish without hitting the pause button. So, maybe they're right or maybe my conditioning is getting better.

Tomorrow is my rest day or I can do Stretch X. I'm not decided yet. But it's good to see that I got this far after hearing some discouragement. I know I can do it. 84 days to go.

  2. Its more like P7X journey... You should complete the program, you would definitely get results. I did it... and I am really fat, but through X like effort I got good results in 90 days. Check out my completed P90X journey.

  3. lol Some people swear by this P90X. But even this program requires proper diet. That's rule number 1. You can't achieve your dream body without doing it.

  5. P90x you are going to have to work out for about an hour per day, and clean up your eating habits, but by the end you will have more muscle, more endurance, and even better flexibility and balance.
