Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Come one, come all! Make 2013 YOUR lucky year by being in the best shape of your life.

Doesn't matter what program you are going to be doing, together we can keep each other motivated! I'm going to be trying the P90x/Insanity hybrid program. Loved the muscle building of P90x but lost 10% body fat with Insanity. Hopefully together the results will be amazing.

So come on and join me on this fitness journey! Who's in?

I'm in Ill be one week ahead, I hope that's Okay

I will be starting P90x on the 7th as well. I will need some help staying motivated, especially when I hit that t dreaded plateau. I'm looking forward to starting the change.

I would like to join this group for the 7th as well. I prefer a smaller more intimate group as opposed to a giant New Years Day thread where you can get lost in the shuffle.

I actually was up to day 62 for p90x before the dreaded holiday curse kicked in a few weeks ago. I went from kicking butt to sloth mode and pretty much destroyed all the hard work I put in for two months.

I am a big guy at the wrong side of 200lbs so the nutrition aspect is where I really need some extra focus to maximize results.

Going to spend the next six days with some cardio and stretching to prepare for p90x Day 1. Hopefully joining a group this time will help me push past the plateau.

Hello everyone!
Glad to hear you are joining in. Together we can achieve results and keep each other motivated for the days we don't feel like working out.

A little about me(I know...like we care...but just humor me):

I'm a beachbody coach who first found P90x in 2007 right after I got my Masters degree. While studying, my motivation to go to the gym became less and less. When I finished my program I was at my heaviest ever. Something needed to change. Like everyone else, I watched the infomercial a zillion times before ordering it. It was a TOUGH 90 days but I got better results in three months than 3 years at the gym. Fast forward, 4 programs later (p90x+, x2, Insanity, Asylum) and I often find myself returning to the original that got me started.

Feel free to add in a little about yourself so we get to know you. Now for some rules -

Ground rules for the group:
1. NO QUITTING! We all have days/weeks where life gets in the way. So what! Pick it up the next day/week and keep going. Don't get discouraged because you missed a workout. This is a marathon not a sprint. Keep at it and you WILL see results.

2. Post everyday or every other day. You will be amazed at how it keeps you on track! It can be a question about the workout, how you felt that day, questions about nutrition etc.

3. Abs are made in the kitchen. Like many, I too have struggled with the nutrition plan. Allow a cheat meal or two, just try not to go crazy. Also try using "my fitness pal" to help count calories. The P90X nutrition guide tells you how much you should eat. My fitness pal will show you if you're on track. Too few calories are just as bad as too many. It will affect your results.

4. Be sure to take before photos as well as 30 day, 60 and 90 day photos. If you have good results, email them to Beachbody to be eligible for the monthly prizes. You could win money just for working out!

Finally, have fun! We have a whole year to look fantastic. Just keep pushing play!

Ooof. Finished chest and back. Forgot how tough it is but quickly remembered as I'm grunting through the pullups. Also took my day 1 photo for when I get good results.

Hello Group, Day 1 is in the books. I took all the preworkout measurements and pics and hit Chest and Back with everything I had. My round one numbers were good with a little dropoff in round two. I normally use bands for all the pullups but broke my last band a month ago so have resorted to doing negatives.

The Abs workout is tough as always but at least short. Hopefully we get some good participation in this group. Looking forward to progressing with everyone.

P.S. Not much free time today but will do a little write-up of myself after tomorrows Plyo (ugh) workout.

Welcome Nancy, of course you can join. I used to enjoy the occasional marathon back in my early twenties...those were the days.

I still enjoy the occasional run but am going to try and stick with p90X until I complete a full round. I have tried this program dozens of times and dropped out at various points for various reasons. Look forward to following everyone's progress.

Ben

Nice Job Tory!

I struggle with those as well, especially in the second round. I usually have to resort to the modified dive bombers because I am spent by the end of the workout.

Getting ready to start what I consider to be the most difficult workout in the serious, PlyoX. Getting my little bucket ready....

Greetings everyone....

I would love to join the group for motivation and for help in reaching health goals as well..

A little something about myself.

I was a BNN Coach up to about 8 months ago. Ive always struggled with my weight problems until i found P90X, i tried and failed so many other plans but P90X really got me going... i even managed to drop about 50 lbs of pure fat in about 1 1/2 years of the program.. then about 7 months ago i suffered a crazy head accident.

While performing a standard dive in a pool, i over shot and landed head first in a spike possition on the bottom of the pool, leaving me paralized for what seemed like an eternity... and honestly Gods love was the only thing that saved me cause i swear to you that under my own power i managed to get out of the pool once i recovered. But i suffered stiff neck, and problems concentrating and lost all desire and motivation to continue... picking up a 15 lbs weight caused me to pass out momentary.

Physically i was ok, all the test came back possitive, no broken bones or signs of damage, but of course nerve damage cant be detected so easily.

Anyway, in the course of the 7 months after the accident i slowly got my strenght back and slowly started to feel good from my neck and head. But unfortunately the lack of workouts was so much that i started to gain weight all over again.

But im healed up now.. ive slowly done a few days of P90, P90X and other things to get the body going again... i have 4 months till i get married.. and honestly i dont think i can reach my goal like i originally wanted.. but im sure i can still make a huge impact and drop a good amount of weight and get some strenght going again...

Im able to do my workouts with as much strenght as i can for the time, having to modify most of the workouts but im not going to stop now...

I started up again 12/31/12, and if i can hit the full 90 days with no problems, then i can complete a round of P90X before the wedding and started another round as well finishing up Phase I of my second run of the program this year....

No more time to think about the accident.. it's time to work hard and get going...
