havent been on a here for a while hope ur still keeping up the good work

**XxKirstxX** · 31st January, 2012

yes I am really enjoying it! My strenght is amazing now! can't beleive the difference in such a short period of time! I have my pictures to take on sunday for 30 days, 1/3 of the way now

**XxKirstxX** · 5th February, 2012

Week 4 done! All change tomorrow onto week 5...

really enjoying my p90x journey! I weighed myself today and in 4 weeks I have lost a stone in weight, going to take my pictures later to see if I can see any change. I am also now 1/3 of the way to completing p90x and can't wait to see what else is in store next week.

Unbelievably, I am finding yoga is my favourite workout! It was so difficult to start with, but now I am getting to grips with it and as I grow stronger the moves are definately getting easier... feel such a sense of achievement being able to finish the dvd as at the start I couldn't get as far as completing the first 40mins of the routine!

Yoga is definately my thing now and loving just clearing my mind and breathing through the pain and I know every time I do it its going to be easier. In no time I will be a yoga master! lol

well pictures taken. I mean I have a long way to go but can definately see a difference!

Congrats on your results.

I have been thinking of getting this, its quite expensive though. Do you need anything else to go with it?

I keep seeing resistance bands, dumbells and pull up bars advertised. I dont think I could do the pull up, not even sure the door would take my weight

But are they a requirement or an optional extra?

**XxKirstxX** · 9th February, 2012

Thats exactly what I thought with the pull ups, but its fine, I use a chair to balance my feet on.

Generally you will need a set of dumbells, a yoga mat, pull up bar and chair. I don't use resistance bands. You may also need yoga blocks (I don't have these either) if you are not too good at stretching. That's about it really.

P90x is quite expensive, I agree, but the results I am seeing well over values the amount I paid for it. Honestly, if you do your best and push yourself the results are amazing!x

oh I've seen the infomercial on this and thought it looked really hard. How much is it? How often do you need to do it and for how long?

Thanks for your time.

**XxKirstxX** · 12th February, 2012

Hi Lose2Win! I think it was around £100, we bought it off amazon and received it within 5 days. U also need equipment like dumbells, a pull up bar or bands and a yoga mat. Also make sure you have a chair as you will need one.

I am on Day 35 now of P90x and I'm loving it, you see such a difference in yourself, not only physically but fitness, strength and flexibility. It is a great workout routine and if you "bring it/work to your extreme" you will definately get good results!

You workout 6 days of the week with one day as a rest day. The workouts are approximately 1hr long, give or take, with the exception of yoga which is 1 and a half hours. The programme lasts for 90 days (3 months).

Hope that helps?

Thanks a lot Kirst it was very helpful. You are doing really well. I'm very impressed.

I think it's a bit too intense for me lol. I was looking at X-train for ladies (£29.99) on Amazon which has various levels and looks similar. It has some good reviews but I'm still unsure.

Hi Kirst How is it going?

I was wondering what order do you do your workouts and how do you stay committed. I'm not sure i can keep up!!

Thanks

Mel

Hey it's going great thanks. I am pretty much sticking to plan. Other than I took my rest day on Wednesday this week rather than Sunday.

It is quite difficult this week I am finding to stay motivated. I am just making sure I press play and when I do I am managing the workouts great, it is just the thought of doing it. When I'm in the zone it's good and feel so much better afterwards. I only have another 2 weeks to go until day 60 and can take my next pictures which is really exciting. I know it's going to be a long process though, just have to do my best and forget the rest lol x

**Lose2Win** · 16th February, 2012

Bless you. it will be so worth it when you've finished!!

I see that the workouts consist of 12 DVDs what order do you do them in?

**XxKirstxX** · 16th February, 2012

It varies per week, the first 3 weeks are:
Chest, back, abs
Plyometrics
Shoulers & Arms, abs
Yoga
Legs & Back, abs
Kenpo
X Stretch/Rest

the 4th week is recovery
Yoga
Core synergistics
Kenpo
X Stretch
Core synergistics
Yoga
Stretch/Rest

week 5 is different as it adds in other parts of your body like biceps, triceps so you do that for another 3 weeks. At the moment I'm on week 6 x
