The P90x Experience

Hard abs are just one of the benefits of P90x!

The P90X DVD workout system is one of the hottest selling home exercise systems currently on the market. But at approximately $120 plus equipment costs, it isn’t cheap. Many people who have seen the late night infomercials or read about the P90X workout system online wonder if it is really worth the investment.

Most people who are embarking on a new workout regimen are not doing so for the first time. We have all tried and failed with various programs in the past. That is why something as promising as the P90X training system looks so tempting….

The P90X workout system is a combination of 12 diverse and intense workouts on DVDs, a nutritional plan, an online support forum and a detailed fitness guide. Online reviews and P90X users who have blogged about their progress all showcase striking results using this 90-day workout program.

A very important tip P90X users report is that this program is extremely challenging. It is not the best workout for a person who is currently sedentary looking to begin a workout routine. This is for people who have already achieved a moderate level of fitness and are looking to take their bodies to the next level.

So what makes the P90X such a successful workout? Here are a few reasons why this workout program works as well as it does: Read the rest of this entry »

I am sure you have all seen the infomercial for P90X; I think it is a great program. I personally tried it out! But when I was done with the program, I thought there are a few things I would have done different. First I am not putting down the program, I think is great for the average person who wants to look great1 but if you are already in great shape and want to get that extra edge , I would implement actual weight training to it rather than body weight exercises! P90X works because it essentially uses high intensity interval training! You are always moving using free body weights and dumbbells!

But know that you will never get big defined muscles with body weight exercises like you would with weight training exercises. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’re thinking about doing P90X I highly recommend that you take considerable time in evaluating your current physical state. P90X IS extreme and does require a large amount of devotion and demands that you be in decent shape to begin with. If you haven’t worked out in years or feel you may be unable to perform the difficult exercises in P90X I would recommend trying another of Beachbody’s less extreme products such as Power90.

That being said, if you’re ready for P90X here’s what I recommend having: Some type of pull up bar, the one that Beachbody sells is great and allows for multiple pull up positions which you’ll need. A yoga or plyo mat. These can be purchased almost anywhere including Beachbody’s website. I recommend this as it is helpful on yoga and plyometrics and I actually use it for all my workouts. Dumbbell set or resistance bands- I have both, I’m used to using the dumbbells but I have used the resistance bands and they work fine, on some exercises they actually work better than dumbbells.

You’d have to be living in Tibet to not hear all the hype out there about whether or not P90X really works. By works I mean helps someone get into the best shape of their lives.

In my experience, I guess the answer has to be yes and no.I myself bought the P90X DVD’s about 6 months back and started using them right away. I couldn’t keep up at first and let myself get discouraged.I just started to make excuses that my knee was hurting too much and I’d wait until I wasn’t quite as sore.A couple of days turned into a couple of weeks and then before I knew it, months had passed me by.I can’t blame that on P90X, the responsibility for that choice was mine and mine alone.

Once I made a decision that my overall health was too important to just let flounder, I chose to get back on the horse and make a concerted effort to be successful with my workouts.

It’s been 2 months since I started using the P90X workouts consistently and I can honestly say, yes, P90X works for me. In all honesty it’ll work for anybody that follows the program. But, you do have to follow the program.

This is where we run into a problem.All kinds of people spend all kinds of money buying opportunities, but few of those people ever really do all of the work necessary to take advantage of that opportunity. P90X is a great opportunity!

Sadly, fewer than 20% of the people that buy these opportunities actually do the work necessary to be successful with it. The question that begs to be asked then is: Are you one of the 20%.What kinds of sacrifice are you willing to make to reach the fitness goals you’ve set for yourself?

Only you can answer that question. Are you a talker, or a doer?If you can dedicate yourself to staying with the program no matter what, then P90X will obvioulsy work for you.
