Hi Everyone!

I've been doing p90x for about a month and a half. Unfortunately I can't do it every day but I do get in at least three workouts a week. There is also one week a month when I can't work out at all. However, I just finished day 17 and I've seen some results. I'm definitely stronger than I was when I started. I could hardly do any push ups and now I can do several! I haven't lost any weight but I don't really watch what I eat. I'm struggling with that right now because I have always been able to eat whatever I want and I think it's finally catching up with me...I'm not as young as I used to be.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I will really benefit from the program even though I cannot work out every day. Does anyone else have experience with having to do every other day? I used to exercise all the time until I had my daughter two years ago and have found myself wanting to spend more time with her and less time at the gym. So, I'm hoping to still see some results even though I can't commit every day. Do you all do the workouts every day? If you miss a day, do you pick up where you left off? Just looking for a little advice, motivation, and peer support. Hope you're doing well!

Hi Jessi! If you are listening to Tony - his motto is 'do your best and forget the rest'. I haven't taken P90X - but I have done another one of his programs. He does have really good advice.

Being a mom is a full time guilt trip - but it shouldn't be. Been there - done that. Nuff said.

Doing what you can when you can is better than doing nothing at all.

So - my advice is to lose the guilt, enjoy the trip and set a good example to your family.

Cheers,
Susan

Agree with all the posts, do what you can!

My only advice though...nutrition is as important if not more than the workouts themselves.

So if you want them to be effective, you do need to apply yourself in following proper nutrition

If you have any question, don't hesitate!

Great tip here...10 minutes trainer is awesome and allows you to be consistent.

Thank you all for the tips and encouragement! I didn't workout much in December so I decided to start over today. Just finished day 1 of week 1 and I actually did a dive bomber push up! I also decided to eat more healthy foods this time around so hopefully I'll see more results.
Thanks for the tip to use the 10 minute trainer! I didn't know about that and it would definitely help me get in a workout every day.
Great idea to remember I'm setting an example for my family that exercise is important!

I let my 4 year old and 2 year old 'work out' with me. They mostly just jump around while I do my workout and then after 5 to 10 minutes they wander away. But they know that I workout every day and they know that it is good for them to get exercise in, even at such a young age.
