How long did you guys take off after finishing one round of p90x/x3/insanity? I think im going to go from x3 to either body beast of p90x, but I dont want to have to take weeks off.

I ended up taking 2 weeks off, but I'd have preferred only 1. I was having an issue with my foot I wanted to make sure wasn't bothering me before I started again.

I took a week off between x3 and p90x I'll take off a week when I finish that to start body beast.

Thanks doldil, I'll check those out

Any advice on training shoes?


I'm looking for new shoes as well. I'm not very good at picking out tennis shoes.

I need some new shoes as well.


Side note.. Midway through week 4 and noticed this morning that I moved up a belt notch.

Lost power last night when I was getting ready to workout so I had to skip, but just gonna pick back up tonight.

I accidentally got drunk yesterday so I didn't workout this morning, I always feel like crap when I skip workouts like that. I'm going to do total synergistics tonight though after work.

Me too. I may hit Varsity Sports and get a new T-shirt so I can look like everyone else.

I got intentionally drunk Saturday. Didn't mean to yesterday.

It's actually going to work out well though...I hate working out after work and much prefer to do it first thing, but I have to go to a meeting out of town Wednesday and have to adjust my schedule up about 2 hours, so I'm just going to do the resistance workouts Tu/Thr/Sat this week instead of M/W/F.

I didn't workout Saturday but I was busting up concrete and mixing cement for about 2 1/2 hours before jazz fest, where I parked in mid city and had to walk. I think all that counts.

Yoga this morning, great way to start the day, but man my flexibility is shite. I despise the leg extension + toe bind because it's impossible for me to even come close to straightening my leg. I read about a modifier to basically just use a chair to prop your leg up on the top of to give support so I may try that in the future to see if it helps any at all.

did total synergistics this morning since I missed yestereday.

On the toe hold during yoga, I grab my toe and put my leg out, but I also don't come close to straightening it. I just put it as far as I can but there's a pretty big bend at the knee.

Same. The balance part is huge in yoga. Don't think the chair is a good modifier, IMO.

here's another modified version I just saw:

quote:

For tight hamstrings, keep the knee on your extended leg bent, or wrap a strap around your foot and take hold of the strap


may try out the strap (towel) as it's a hamstring issue that I'm having more than anything else, and probably the same for everyone else

I am new to this thread. I am on my 6th week of T-25 we did about 5 weeks of the original insanity before we started T-25. I have dropped 4 belt notches so far but I have fallen off my diet some so I need to get back on that. I am thinking about moving to P90x3 after we finish T-25, but having the pull up bars seems like it might be a hassle. There are 3 of us that do this at my house and I am worried about the amount of space we would need. Are the pull up bars a necessity?

Unless you have different areas to places the workout bands to mimic pull-ups then yeah, the pull up bar is a necessity.
