Jillian Michaels vs P90x - an completely unscientific study

fryfat

I do P90x and have been doing it on and off for years now. My partner swears by Jillian Michaels.

We recently tried working out together. The first night we both did Jillian, (I believe it was 30 day shred) and about 20 minutes in I had to start taking breaks at the ends of reps, while my partner cruised along.

No big deal I thought, she'd been doing those exercises forever so of course she'd be better than me.

Today we did P90x together, and my partner had no issues. She was pushing as much weight as the woman on the screen. Even more, during the "ab ripper x" workout following the main workout, she had much better form and basically kicked my butt.

Jillian, I'm sorry for ever underestimating you. Please don't roundhouse kick me.

P90x, off and on you say? No chance your lady friend is just more consistent?

Probably a big chance I just thought she'd be blown away by p90x, especially plyo. Nope.
