  Yes for the stretching part of the yoga, not the balance and strength.

  Then it looks like I'll be going the route of your 25 minute yoga suggestion.

  Is the lower body one (pictured) the one that you do? Going to order on Amazon today.

  Biggest loser is a beginner yoga program. Can find it on Amazon for 6 bucks I think.

  Yeah, I have tight leg muscles and it works me good. 25 minutes long. Good luck.

  Core synergetics for the first time tomorrow. So how much of a bitch is core synergetics?

  Core is a bitch, and by bitch I mean Drea, and by Drea I mean fucking Drea Rolls. Good luck young man.

  And here I thought this week was going to be somewhat "easier" than the first three!

  Squated 315x4, Deadlifted 340x3, and benched 175x4 last week. Fourteen weeks later I've seen my back squat increase 90lbs, deadlift increased 105lbs, and bench press has jumped 55lbs.

  I just did my first day of p90X.
  
  I am doing a week of CardioX (4 days) then starting the basic program next week (been sedentary for a while). My shins didn't like CardioX, but otherwise I got through it fine. Can't wait to start everything else.

  I think my mindset has changed more than anything else. Haven't lost much weight, but have lost inches.

  How does your wife feel about the loss of inches?

  How tough is core on the knees/ankles? Refereed 16 games this weekend, and the knees and ankles are still pretty stiff. Yoga was a blessing today.
• ernest_t_bass

  

  Wasn't too bad. The workout itself was a bitch, but the exercises were all pretty manageable.

  What Yoga did you settle on?

  25 minute Gaiam (sp?), lower body for beginners.

  I think Kenpo X is my favorite Cardio type circuit.
  
  Also, I am not sure I am eating enough. I only netted 552 calories on Monday. Yesterday I netted 1200, so I think that is where I want to be. Daily my carbs are under 70 and my protein is above 150.

  That's really low - unless you're a girl. Up them to around 2k, especially with the lifting you're doing in p90x

  You'll outgrow Kenpo, quickly.
  
  How much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? 552 calories, not good. Body will start eating it's own muscle leaving you with hanging fat.

  196 On Monday.
  
  I'm also trying to find something with a decent amount of good carbs to eat pre-workout. I was eating a cup of fruit (along with a hardboiled egg) but I think that is too much sugar.

  I have no idea how tall you are or your age buy for a 28 year old, 5'10" male to maintain 196 lb bodyweight you'd need to be taking in 2521 calories. Obviously to lose it would be less but it's a lot more than 552. You will "bonk/crash" soon if you don't up your calories.
  
  If you have to, get a good protein powder for added calories. I'd recommend a casein over a whey in that casein releases slower and sticks with you.
