Workout Program Description

P90X Lean is for those who want more cardio and a slightly less intensive program. Make no mistake, this is the real deal and no picnic! 



The P90X workouts are approximately 1hr (1 DVD) each day, 6 days a week, with the 7th day being a day of rest or optionally X Stretch.

P90X LEAN PHASE 1: 



Your aim should be to finish each workout and perfect each movement, as opposed to focusing on weight or resistance. 

Workouts

Description

Each and every exercise in the Core Synergistics workout recruits multiple muscle groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your body from head to toe. Loaded with a variety of fun, unique, and challenging exercises, this routine will get you moving in all directions to maximize your P90X results.

just starting

Hey Everyone! Like everyone else on here i´m super excited to start this program. Can´t wait to get off my butt and start moving again. I also don´t have a pull up bar, I have a resistance band but I can´t seem to find a place overhead to attach it, there´s nothing that secure in my house. Any suggestions for alternatives?

Day 3

I did Kempo instead of the arms for day 3, it was interesting! I was upset at first because all I thought it was was punching at the beginning but it picked up. Im glad you can do some higher intensity stuff at the so called breaks...my heart rate was not going up that much during the work outs. ..overall interesting way of working out, different for me (used to ballistic Jillian Micheals). It will be good to switch it up but I miss sweating like crazy!

Day 2

Hi Everyone, Just finished the Cardio! It was easy until the plyrometrics!! They were intense in a good way! I like that it was not all aerobics like a gym class and he mixes it up a lot, not bored at all (except he yoga at the beginning!)...Day 3 tomorrow. Will weigh myself next Monday and see if I lost anything@

p90x Lean: First Try, day 3 tomorrow

Feeling good so far. I'm in decent shape as of right now and i had to slow it down a lot about 3/4 of the way into Core Synergistics. Cardio today was fun. Feeling moderately sore, but it's all good. @Captain Bad: I was just wondering the same thing about climbing... i'm going this weekend. it'll be interesting to see how my body handles the additional stress. I'm doing this without the supplements, food bars, or recovery drink. a friend of mine got it all. will be checking with him how it works out. keep at it!

Beginning Week 3 of P90X Lean

Today is my first day of week 3, and i'm truly excited about the program. Since beginning, i'm seeing changes in my body form, and look forward to more changes... However i'm not a big fan of the Yoga DVD, but the rest is awesome. Hope everyone is going at it hard...

Concerning Yoga Comments

I haven't done the Yoga X yet so I can't comment on that particular program, but based on the other yoga sessions I have done, it's my understanding that yoga is more about control and balance than it is working up an intense sweat. Yoga focuses on breathing discipline, core control, and flexibility, all of which are beneficial even if there are no outward signs that you're working hard (i.e. sweat). And, yes, based on the few other yoga sessions I have done, they do seem to drag on! You just do the same sequence over and over and just when you think you've done the last rotation, they throw in like 2 or 3 more!

Other Activities

So I'm on my first week of Lean (Cardio kicked my butt!) and I'm wondering, given the amount and intensity of the workouts, if I should refrain from doing any other strenuous activities (e.g. rock climbing) while on p90X?

Schwizzle

Confused?

I'm going to start day 1 of this program today, but I noticed it says it's 100% cardio and no strength training. What about the shoulders & arms and the legs & back workouts? There's no specific exercises listed in the workouts for those days.

P9X Lean 1st DAY

I decided on doing the Lean version workout. It's one day less of strengthening exercises and Ab ripper X. I'm thinking of doing Lean version for phase 1 to shed fat and to ease into the program while at the same time building some strength. For the first day Core synergistic kicked my ass. It suppose to take 45min. to finish the workout and it took me 1hr and 10min. I'm timing myself to see how much i will improve in workouts. I actually bought the recovery drink from beach body since it included vitamines with in the mixture. And did this thing make a difference. Usually when I go for a 45min jog going uphill constanly afterwards even with eating or having a protein shake i feel super tired. Core synergestics got me more tired than my usual jog but ones i took that drink 5 min later i was good to go, feeling with energy again. Till next time. Anyone has any more tips let me know.

First Day

I am enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. This is a wonderful workout. The core synergistics was hard and i still feel the pain today. No pain no gain. Pain is weakness leaving the body. Semper Fidelis

First Day

Today is my first day doing P90X Lean. Core Synergistics whooped my butt. As far a your questions: 1. The Lean Program is more cardio where as the Classic Program is more Strengthening. As far as easier? I would think so. 2. Im only one day in, I will let keep you posted. 3. I do my own nutrition plan. I did look at the nutrition plan and it looks pretty good.

a few questions...

Guys, I have 3 questions: 1) Is P90X lean "easier" than Classic and Doubles? I am doing it because I prefer to shed a little weight rather than build up lots of muscle, but I have read a bit online and some people say it's the more "cakewalk" approach to the program. What are your thoughts? 2) My friend is letting me borrow his P90X+ videos/info... has anyone tried this program? I am considering jumping into this one, hoping to get better results. 3) Do you guys stick with the nuitrician plan? I've done diets similiar; while they are very effective they are tough to stick to (especially hanging out with a fiancee who can eat ice cream all day and not gain an ounce) I try to limit the junk and eat lots of lean protein and veggies, but I don't want to start the diet just to fail 3 days later. What do you do?

bambOlina- what do you do instead? I have not done all the exercises yet-- which ones do you all think are the toughest? I really need to step it up, I've been stuck for about 6 months now. :(

bambOlina

I hate the Yoga and Stretch X, like you, I feel like sweating is very important in order to feel like you are doing any effort! I personally skip those two workouts altogether; however, many hold that yoga is beneficial to looking slender and good posture!!! =p

Lean exercises

I have been trying to get in at least one other cardio exercise per day. After some of the programs I am not very sweaty - I like to feel like I am really working myself! Also, how do people feel about Yoga X? The first 30-40 min DRAGGED on tonight... I don't think I ever want to do downward dog or runner's pose ever again!

I was wondering the same thing

BrideInTraining, i was wondering the same thing [To complete the lean program, are you supposed to do these exercises in addition to the Classic exercises?], my guess (hope?) is 'no' since the workouts are mostly the same except for the first 2 days... Does anyone know the answer?

P90X Lean.... Effective!

P90X Lean is awesome. Although I'm not yet a fan of the Yoga X (only one week in so far), I'm sure I'll like it and be able to accomplish most of the moves soon enough. Otherwise, I think Cardio X, Plyo and Kenpo are by far y faves. Oh, and the Ab Ripper is pretty cool too! Like I said, it's my first week, I'm a little sore, I have today and Saturday to go then I do my first "day off". I'm excited about the second week!
