Dh is not overweight like I am, so our p90 workouts are somewhat different experiences for us. Having him next to me to share the experience with has been great.
I'm still not able to do any of the low-impact moves and have modified them to work the same muscle groups. For example instead of jumping jacks I do deep knee bends, keeping my knees bent even in the upright position. I do the arm movements for jumping jacks at the same time.

It's 6 days of p90 then 1 day off and yesterday was that day off. Boy was I ever glad. I'd had some outrageously good wine the night before and not being a big drinker I really, really felt it in the morning! Dr Agatston (South Beach) recommends a glass or 2 of red wine with dinner for health benefits so I bought a bottle of Chilean organic Cabernet that was highly recommended. It's called Natura and it tastes more like a very expensive Bourdeaux with those mellow earthy tones not usually found in Cabs. I'm getting more - only will limit it to one glass this time

I totally agree with Gwen. My son did P90X and it's an entirely different level. ds & ddil are starting their second round of p90X. You know the p90 TV ad makes it look a lot harder than it actually is IMO.

You DS and DDIL are doing their 2nd round of P90X?!?! Wow they must be in terrific shape and must look AMAZING!! Wow!! Just think 1 day you can be doing it along with them!?!?! YOU CAN!!!!!!!!

I do the same! I am way too heavy for my knees to handle all that jumping...esp when I've had some problems with them in the past. So I do a modified version basically exactly what you described above. I'd rather do modified and be able to continue the workouts every day then to injure myself and be down for the count. But one day as I lose more weight and have been working out regularly I vow I WILL conquer jumping jacks!!

Hmmm...wine...please pass the bottle!....hmmmm...

They are in great shape! Both were active & in pretty good shape before starting, but their results have been awesome. I'll e-mail you ds's before & after photos if I can find them. I have waaay too many photos saved on my computer so it may take a while.
They tell me that I'll be doing p90X, too. I'm still a skeptic, but am keeping an open mind.

That's exactly what I tell myself about the jumping jacks
I'm saying the same thing with push ups. Now I can hold myself up throughout the entire rep & do at least one. My arms are shaking like mad during the whole thing I'm up to doing 8 push-ups on the Sculpt days. The rest of the time I just hold myself up and shake

AUGUST 12TH is a great day to start!!!!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

OMG!! I'm so with you on the pushups too!! They are killer!! Don't even to ask me to do the ones that are really close together. Fuhgetaboutit!! I'm just going to take one day and one pushup at a time!! If we keep at it we will get better and be able to do more there is doubt about it! And your family is right you will be doing Power90x eventually!! I can't wait to see your DS and DDIL progress pics. I bet they look amazing!!!!!!

Well about time for me to get outta here! Talk to ya tomorrow---wish me well on my first day of Power 90!!

Thanks for the clarification that this is Power 90 and not P90x. I have seen the P90x infomercials. I am not sure if I have seen the Power 90 stuff before. I will check out the links.

Hey Gwen how was day 1 of P90?? I was thinking about you & sending you positive vibes and can't wait to hear all about it! Are you doing it in the morning like you'd planned?
I agree the hands close together are killer and I can't even hold myself up very long that way. The same for the hands wide apart. I'm still keeping mine under my shoulders 95% of the time. And I'm on the same page with you that one day we'll be able to do them.

I'm going to remember 'one day at a time & one push up at a time' as my motto. Yesterday was sculpt day and for some reason I just couldn't perform like usual and got very upset about it...I couldn't even hold myself up during the entire rep for push ups. I'm wondering if I pushed too much the last time since I actually did 8 push ups total for all of the reps... or if it's normal for your body to be weaker on some days?...Whatever it was, it was weird but I did what i could. I'm extra sore in the shoulder/neck area today so something is going on - a lot of muscles are growing for sure.

We're doing our cardio later today since dh had lots of work early this morning & I got up late (we had dinner guests & I got to sleep late, late, late).

Hey girlie! Stopped by your journal yesterday! Just got back from the beach and hoping all is well with you! Can't wait to catch up on Power 90 updates?!?! I'm just starting back...the beach trip kinda threw a wrench in my schedule but I'm back now so back to work!!!!!!!

PUSHED PLAY today!! Gosh this was a lot easier when I did this 30lbs lighter!! Ahh well...I will get there again!

OMG...did the Cardio section today and thought I was going to die. Wow...what a difference (and not in a good way) from how much I was able to do now vs when I was 30lbs lighter. It was almost enough to totally bring down my spirits and stop but I have to just remember that it will get better...I definitely prefer the strength portion over the cardio but I know it's all important. Plus the cardio section on Power 90 is a lot of strength training anyways....just using your own body.

Anyways, I survived it and will keep trying one day at a time!! Today is 4 weeks until the Outerbanks, NC vacation so I'm hoping to loose a few inches by then!!

you all have done such great work. congrats to everyone

Can someone please clarify the difference between P90X and P90? I'm interested.
