P90x Review

Many people may have seen the late night infomercial for the p90x workout program and wondered if the program works. I was intrigued with the thought of being able to get a full workout from my living room since I work from home and would love to take a break from working and spend about an hour working out. I have been using the P90x for about three months now and have absolutely loved the results I have seen. I am in the best shape of my life.

The P90x Package

I ordered P90x from amazon and recieved the box about 5 days later. The box contains about 13 dvds and several workbooks. One important aspect of the p90x program is tracking your results. P90x comes with several sheets to record how many reps of certain exercises you complete in addition of the amount of the weights used.

Does P90X Work

The short answer is if you stick to the program and try to do it everyday yes. When I first started I could only complete about half the workout and was extremely sore. However, I completed the P90X at least five times a week and started noticing results right away. I have incorporated the program into my daily routine and absolutely love it.

Conclusion

The most important thing to keep in mind when using the P90x is to not give up after a week. If you use the P90x for 90 days straight the results are going to be fantastic. Tony does a great job of motivating the user on the dvds and keeps the exercise fun and interesting. You will be sore after doing the different workouts but the good news is every day is a new part of the body so you won't be working out the sore parts of the body.

I just ordered the videos. So, I do not need the pull up bar? Are the only other things I would need are the resistant bands and weights?

thanks

Hey Kara, that is correct. As long as you have the resistance bands you will be fine. In all the videos, there is one person that uses the bands instead of the pull up bar and they will show you how to do the exercises correctly. Enjoy!
