I started yesterday with Day 3 of the program. I know kind of weird, but I didn't want to wait to start next Monday and I want Sunday to be my rest day so I started day 3. Makes sense to me. I figure at some point I will make up the first two and call it even.
[this is my test photo to make sure the lighting was just right. Not only does it crack me up that she is patiently waiting to start, but her outfit. Can't get enough of her.]
Today was yoga day. Megan's been talking about yoga ever since her friend's mom came to school and taught her some yoga moves. I had my mat out the other day and she was throwing around terms like downward dog and child's pose and quite frankly I didn't even know what she was talking about (I've only ever done yoga once, years ago). Imagine her excitement when I pull out my mat and put in the yoga disc. She got herself ready for exercise and joined me. Bella and Tess joined me yesterday for shoulders and arms (w/out weights) so they decided they would play along too.
A lot more moaning than I had anticipated from them, but I get it, it was harder than I thought. Looking at it you'd think yoga is a glorified stretching exercise, I assure you it was not. I enjoyed it though, and enjoyed my company. I'm hoping this will be part of our summer morning routine.
Have you done or are you doing P90X?
Have I made a huge mistake?
Have a great day.

I have heard good things about p90X, but personally, the commercials I have seen from the people that did it, are just a little too muscular (and the women too skinny). I would like to be about HALF that muscular though!!! Maybe just do about half of what they say! LOL!
love your pix!

2 of my neighbors did it and loved it. I thought they were already in great shape but they did it for strength too.
Just starting on Monday, after 3 years of Grad school (my husband) and 3 kids..plus a winter without sun (welcome to Alaska) I needed some pick me up. Hopefully I'll be feeling strong, healthy and motivated after 90 days....I'll keep you posted!
I think it's a great series and if anything can get this many people moving, it's a good thing. I know tons of people doing it- some who have lost 20+ lbs! It definitely works your muscles big time. There are very few workouts that get me as sore as those DVDs, esp Legs!! The yoga one is a killer- it's a marathon! I rarely have 90 min to do the whole thing but I do most of it. Good luck!
I love how serious Megan looks in the first picture.
I recently just completed the program and am starting the 90 days over again. I love it!!! It is something I can do at home and the workouts are all planned out for me. No thinking or deciding what to do. I am in the best shape of my life. I was really sore for the first couple of weeks, but it got better. I love that it is always changing. Just stick with it. I promise you will love the way it makes you feel. The Ab ripper is a killer! :)

I love the pictures (Megan is adorable in that first one)and reading about your daily adventures!
What a great thing to be sharing with them.
We have been Uncommited P90Xers. Both My hubby and I need more Cardo than it provides. And I hate the Yoga, I am more a fast moving yoga woman, he goes so slow I get nuts. But It sure works! I have been mixing up P90X and The Tracy Anderson Method And I love it! Good luck...
PS I also get so sick of Tony! pet peeve really!
