Yeah, never bothered to finish though (bust with other stuff) but you see a difference after 2-3 weeks. There's also a diet thing that comes with it, I never went through it but it might be worth a read.

Re: P90X Workout

First of all, im a dude so obviously my workout will be different from yours. I pick and choose which ones are right for me as you pointed out. Im using all of the cds and the book. Im using them as a basis for creating a workout plan. However im using the cds to get an idea of how to perform the exercises properly. You should have also got a book with it called Fitness guide, a thin black book. This book is absolutely key. There are 3 stages, classic, doubles and lean. Im assuming since ur a girl youll be going for lean. If so, flick to page 28 of that book and there is a good guide of a typical workout you should follow. Theres also a book about nutrition that might be worth a read aswell. Ive yet to read that myself but planning on doing so soon. btw page 9-11 of that book may be useful aswell. Anyways there is more but they are just stuff that will enhance ur workout. Its not must have things. And i dont wanna overload you with info. Start off with the basics. If you have any other questions let me know :)

Re: P90X Workout

21 days. ok thats more than enough time if its just abs ur working on. The key to working with abs is consistency cuz they are the hardest to maintain. The black book that i spoke about has got good exercises - its the last couple of pages of the book. It has 11 exercises for you to do - i would be surprised if you could do all 11 in one go, if you can good on you but if not aim for about 8 minimum. I would recommend doing about 2 sets of each with 20-30 reps (this is the optimum range). Nothing more, nothing less. Although the book gives you exercises already, i tweeked it a bit and threw in ones that i used before hand cuz i found it much more effective for myself. Also, do some cardio - some light jogging should do cuz it tones ur body all over and youll get faster results with the abs. About 5-10 minutes should do at the start before your work out

Hope that helped. Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Re: P90X Workout

Nope none of them include weights so they can be done anywhere anytime. Following workouts are included in this programme:

In and Out - Sit on floor with hands at sides, knees bent with feet on the floor. Raise feet off the ground and bring knees in towards your chest and straighten legs back out. Repeat this movement.

Seated bicycle - sitting in the same position as in and out, make small circles with legs as if pedalling a bicycle. 25 reps forward and 25 back the way

Seated crunchy frog - same position as in and out again. Hands should be off the floor and wrapped around knees. When legs are extended out, arms should be stretched out at sides parallel to ground.

Crossed leg sit up - Lie flat on back with feet crossed. Place one hand behind head and bring torso up to perform standard sit up movement. Reach other arm out to touch opposite foot. Alternate arm positions for each rep.

Fifer scissor - Lie flat on back extending one leg skyward while lifting opposite leg off the floor a few inches. Alternate legs in scissor motion for a 3 count hold for every rep. Keep both feet flexed throughout the entire exercise

Hip Rock N raise - Lie flat on back, open hips and bend legs so that the bottoms of your feet are touching with arms at sides , rock your hips, lift pelvis and drive feet directly up towards ceiling. When lowering legs back down do not let them touch the ground.

Pulse up - Lying on back, extend legs straight up with arms at sides. When raising hips imagine imagine touching the ceiling with the balls of your feet. Make sure legs are lifted at 90 angle degree

Roll up - Lie flat on back with legs straight out and arms extended straight up towards ceiling. Bring the body up as if doing a standard sit up touching hands to the toes. Slowly lower torso towards the floor while simultaneously bringing legs up off the floor at 45 degrees. Bring torso back up and reach for your toes while legs are in the air. Lower body and repeat movement.
