p90x (Page 15)

If I am really sore, I will kick back some OJ or something else w/ anti oxidants, otherwise its typically my AM pbj after the workout.  Started up 2nd go around after 3 weeks off and the first week stunk a bit w/ some soreness but feeling much better this week.

Which workout do you need weights?  I have the iron gym, a workout matt, the dvd's, I think I'm just missing the weights.  Was going to start day 1 tomorrow....unless I need the wieghts. 

Just an extra set of lungs  

All the strength training can be done with resistance bands. Each dvd (that involves strength training) has one person strictly doing bands to demonstrate.

Good luck, I think its a great program.

I am nearing the end of my 90 days. I feel so much stronger. It seems like such a short time ago that I started but it is less than a week shy. I am going to stretch it out at least 1 extra week to make up for some lost days. I regret not taking all of the measurments at the beginning. I would like to know how I have changed.

Stick with it. It is not easy but it really does work. I am really interested to see what it has done for or against my tri training as I have done almost no SBR's while doing P90X.

LOOOONG!  Haha... It has been cold, snowy, just about the same as every year!  Seeing bits of spring now though. I'm dreaming of the days when I can get out on the boat and be in the sun . P.S I have some family that live in the Catawba Cliffs. Nice area.

I used P90X classic for an off season training program after Ironman FL Nov. 6, I wanted a break from all the long S.B.R. training eating power bars, gels and carbo drinks. My results have been more than I expected went down a pant size and it fixed a shoulder problem I had been fighting for several months, I picked up a half inch of arm size and when I showed up at the pool for the first time this year last week my swim buddys were wow you look like your in great shape. I had wondered how this break would affect my Tri racing and my daughter's college Tri team put on an early season sprint to help pay for their trip to nationals so I went to it  this weekend April 2 even though I had only done 2swims, 3bike rides & 5 runs this year. I was surprised with my race shape ended up 50th overall not sure how many ended up racing she said they had over 200 entered the week before and it was really cold 35deg even with a pool swim I'm sure they had some no shows. I was 3rd in the 50-54 age group.  I will say the P90X break I took has me fresh and excited to train for this season and I'm as strong and flexible as I have been in a long long time so... I would recommend P90X as an off season training plan. I am doing sort of a hybrid working in S.B. R. training a little more each week but I hate to give up the P90X  shape it's different then tri race shape and it’s been great. 

This is very much my experience. I have done largely niothing but S,B, R, for most of the last 5 years. I decided after IMAZ in Nov. that it was time for a change. Started late in Dec. and am just finishing up. During that time I was pretty dedicated to P90X and did almost no SBR. I did an off road duathlon 2 weeks ago and PR's by 3:26 over my best time ever even when I trained for the running and riding. Another up side is that I no longer feel frail. S,B,Ring left me very one dimensionally strong but everything else was weak. I am a great advertisement for P90X I am truly a believer.

I'm doing the classic version and would like to include running and swimming.  Which days would be best to do both?  Strength training and running?  Cardio (plyo) and swimming?  Thanks for the help.

Do not do running on the same days as plyo or legs.

I would do swimming before any weight training in the day depending on how hard you lift and how much like jello your muscles will feel.  Not good in the water
