I look like a tin man walking around...my hammys and thighs hurt, and so do my tri's so I am kinda walking stiff legged and stiff armed LOL

I think tonight is YogaX, hopefully that will stretch me out good.

Good luck with Yoga... that is like 60+ minutes of Yoga pain. Good pain; but like trembling muscles yoga position holding pain. Doesn't get easy until your day off.

I've struggled with the P90x workouts so far. I bought the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells and started doing some light work with those to get everything loosened up before starting the program.

Day 1 (1/26/09) - Chest & Back - Although I sucked at it, I did make it through the workout. I didn't have the balance for the Ab workout but struggled through the entire workout doing what I could.

Day 2 - Plyometrics - This destroyed me! I'm in a 3rd floor apartment so I set a TV up down in my garage so I didn't piss anybody off with all of the jumping. I wanted to quit after the warmup but I made it through 40 minutes of the workout. Barely made it back upstairs to my apartment.

Day 3 - Woke up extremely sore from the C&B workout 2 days prior. My right elbow was swolen and I couldn't bend it past 90 degrees.

Day 3-5 - I stuck to the meal plan and just did HIIT on the eliptical and exercise bike.

Day 6 - Did the shoulder and arms workout. I did pretty good with this one but I did skip the tricep specific moves. My elbow was OK and the swelling was gone but didn't want to push it too much.

Day 7 - Stretch DVD - I loved this one. I couldn't believe how much better my entire body felt after this.

I deceided to restart the program at this point thinking I was past the injuries.

Day 8 - Chest & back - I doubled up the time on the warmups thinking that maybe not warming up enough caused my elbow problem in week one. Sharp pain in my left shoulder cut this workout short. Started the ab DVD and got a sharp pain in my lower abs in the first moves. Just wasn't my day I guess.

Day 8 was this Monday and I've only been doing the HIIT since then. Still have a pain in my lower left ab but it seems to be going away.

This program is definately brutal! My pants are fitting better already though so I guess it's been somewhat worth it.

Yeah I know but most people thinks it a game, I have worked up a big sweat, it's no game.
