X2 Yoga is about 65 minutes. I don't know if it's harder, but it's a great yoga routine. You hold poses longer in Yoga X, but X2 Yoga requires a lot more stability.
A lot of times I incorporate other yoga moves into it.

x1 yoga is like 90 minutes. I think I attempted it once and said screw it. The x3 yoga is 30 minutes so it's much more manageable. I'm not familiar with x2 yoga.

did cvx this morning. I really wish I hadn't moved my schedule back a day this week. Usually on Fridays I'm feeling great after the butt kicking of the week and have a nice little yoga or something to look forward to during the weekend. Now my shoulders are all sore from thsi morning and I still have to do warrior tomorrow. Ugh.

Yeah, missing a day sucks. My shoulders are and back are still feeling it after CVX yesterday and Challenge the day before.
Did Warrior this morning, made it 45 seconds through elevator push-ups today...progress!!
I still vaguely remember one of my first warrior routines. I'd do Sphinx/Plank/Push-ups without doing push-ups and by the time elevator's came around I'd basically fall straight to the floor on the first one.

On the challenge what is your method for upping numbers each week? I've done 3 weeks so far. Week 1 I just picked 2 numbers, week 2 I left pull the same and upped push by 1, this week I upped pull by 1 and left push what it was the previous week.
Is that what most people do, or do yall up them both at the same time?

I started out by just setting a goal of 10 push-ups and stayed at that until I could make it through the entire thing. I've been adding 1 every time since attaining the original goal.
Pull-ups were a bit different b/c I've always used bands. I got stuck in my first 3 month schedule because I was using all the bands I had, so I just randomly increased the number. Now that I've added a couple of bigger bands I have a lot more maneuverability and instead of increasing reps I just add on another band (the last one was just a 5lb band) and I think the next one is an 8 so I can just remove the 5. I only have time to knock out about 10 each round on the pull-ups because of having to hold the pull every time for a couple of seconds.

Anybody done the bonus month? Any good? Or should I switch to another program, either X, X2, T25, or Insanity? Or a non-beach body or custom routine?
I found elite block too difficult, I went into p90x

I should but I never write shite down. I'm in my second week of x/t25 hybrid. Did shoulder and arms yesterday and it felt great. I find that x is triggering greater muscle growth and my muscles are getting bigger but I'm hungrier and I haven't been as healthy as previously. After two weekends of bbq,
crawfish boils and drinking I'm getting puffy again. I just need to buckle down and focus.

Off weeks, how do yall handle them? When I was going through P90X, I was liking my progress and didn't want to slow down so on weeks 4 and 8 when you're supposed to break with workouts like yoga, stretch, etc I just did another week of the "regular" workouts.
I've just finished up week 3 of X3 so next week is supposed to Isometrics, dynamix, pilates, etc. Basically a "take a break" week. For those who have done this before, is taking that lighter week really that beneficial or is it a big deal if I just do the regular week again instead?

Do you not trust them to design the workouts? Why are you trying to supplant that design?
The recovery week is part of the program and I do it as designed. It lets my body recover and gives me something different for a week before I start a completely different block of routines. If you do them correctly and push yourself a bit, you'll get a good workout from all of those recovery routines (do Isometrix and get back at me).
If you're just trying to "get big", then do whatever you feel you need. But I feel like the P90X routines are well designed, and done for a reason, so I try to stick to that design. It's worked for me.
ETA: Also don't judge your progress on Block 1 alone. I found block 1 was more of a "get ready" for Block 2 and 3. That's where results show up.

good advice, thanks.

Great advice.
Transforming a room to a workout room, any advice on workout mat to cover carpet. Not looking to cover whole room, but enough for x3/ t25 etc. Any suggestions in brand and how big?

Lulz have you even tried Isometrix? It's a tough workout.

I'm already on your workout, bruh!

For how long? Thoughts?

Second week. Honestly it was like reading a foreign language but I looked up all the moves. I love it, though. I love learning new things.

Out of town all weekend so I could see my mom. Made it back home Sunday in time to get in my Total Synergistics workout. Did some Pull Knee Pulls using only the pull-up bar and assist this time instead of having to use the bands.
Getting up this morning to knock out agility 12 hours after doing TS was a bitch though, but I did it and am on my regular schedule again. So glad to be done with Agility for a while, it kicks my arse.

Yoga this morning. Used a towel to help with my leg extension w/ toe bind this morning. It seemed to help quite a bit...just had to be careful and make sure I was focused on keeping my leg lifted via my quads instead of doing the lifting via the towel.
