Thread: P90X

If you're serious about getting in shape and you'd actually do the 90-day program and stick with it the entire way...yes, it's worth it.

I'm going to start P90X today! Anyone want to do it with me?

If you're serious about trying P90x just know that if you're out of shape- that you are going to be really sore. It is an extreme work-out and the best way to get results is stick with it and not give up. You should also try the yoga version, it seriously kicks some a**

Awww SP, I wish I could! I'm totally in after I get through the next month. I've got a big project and a bunch of other stuff on my plate, but I fully plan to do it during the holidays. Might seem like a crazy time to try, but even if I only get through 60 days before life gets crazy again, I *know* how well it works!

I am incorporating some into my routine though. Tomorrow is Core Synergistics and Saturday I'm doing Kenpo

I've heard a lot of people quit it because its really hard.

They quit because they aren't committed to getting in shape. The guy in the video constantly says to only do what you can and not give up. The people that quit would have quit any program no matter how easy or hard.

OK, I did the cardio video yesterday. And while I realize that I'm more fit than the average poster here, it wasn't a real challenge at all. I didn't even break a sweat until a good 30-35 minutes in.
I'm going to do the strength and plyo videos this week, I imagine that they are a bit harder.
Anyone who doesn't do the program because it's too hard is just making excuses. The instructor gives constant feedback on making it easier if you're a beginner.

I am going to completely agree with SP. Now, granted I was in *better* shape when I started the P90X the first time, but even though it was hard, Tony encourages you to take a break or pause if you need to and jump back in. It's also a system of keeping up with how *you* improve since you can do the worksheets and keep track of your reps and weights every week. I can promise that you can do more reps and/or more weight if you do it like you're supposed to. THe only thing I've had some people have issues with is the plyo. It is a bit intense and a lot of people I know have felt faint if they tried to do early in the a.m. (before eating)

Otherwise, I think you can do this program at almost any level if you're okay with starting slowing, pushing yourself beyond what you *think* you're capable of, and being committed to it for the entire 90 days. I have NEVER toned up so quickly as I did with this program which is why I fully intend to start it again in the next month when I know I can get the workouts all in like I should.
