Power 90, P90x?

Anyone done any of these?

I started the power 90 series on Monday with the hopes of progressing to power 90 master series then p90x by this time next year Anyway, so far I'm enoying it although I do find it quite difficult which goes to show how unfit I am!

For those of you who are unsure of what it is, it's basically a workout program that lasts 90 days. You work out 6 days a week and have a rest day. It's quite hardcore as its a bootcamp but the results you can see on youtube are amazing.

Well I take my hat off to you! I have read about these, never done it myself I don't think I would be able to!

There is a forum called the World Health Fitness forum where quite a few people seem to be on this or have tried this programme, most are from the US. Could be worth a look in if your after support and advice from those who have been there.

Well, it's been a week and happy to report that it's going well. I've not missed any workouts and have found them a little easier as the week went on. I still find it challenging but can manage pretty much the entire workout (minus the power yoga plank pushup into upward dog :dohh: and the chair dips) without stopping.
It is a good workout for people who are unfit and it's a good starting point although I have another 5 weeks at 1-2 level until I progress onto 3-4 and have a feeling that I'll start to find it too easy by then.
Wish I took my measurements last week because I'm sure I've lost inches off my waist so will take some this week. I lost 3.6lbs.

onto week 2
