    You guys are awesome! All signs point to "yes I should get it"


    Just worried about cost at this point, what's the cheapest I can go and get away with it?

    Go look for it on craigslist. There are a lot of people trying to get rid of extra unopened copies.

    Actually in my experience most of those are either counterfeit or from coaches who are doing something against coach policies. I wouldn't do either.

    Only way to get the 90 days guarantee is by ordering through a Team Beachbody Coach, or Beachbody.com

    That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
    Honestly I think the best you can do is your best. The worst that can (and probably will) happen is that Plyometrics will render you unable to move without assistance for the next 2 days :laugh:

    Don't worry though, they do that to everyone, even people who are already fit. My first plyo class made me sick to my stomach and I could barely walk for a few days. Take it easy. No one is going to tell if you have to repeat a week here or there :wink:

    How do you record P90X in the exercise log? I can't find any matches when I try to log my P90X sessions.

    I bought a copy off of craigslist with the band and pull up bar for $60 with no issues. The box was still packaged. I guess it's your cal lhow you want to do it.

    I would say that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. I'm in my second week of P90X and i can't do pull ups on the bar without a chair. Everything in life is a working progress. I am currently 24 years old and couldn't do push ups off my knees until this year. P90X will get you in shape if you follow the program and i do believe anyone could do it. They do show you easier ways to do the moves as well.

    P.S. Check your library and craigslist, you will definately get it for cheaper or possibly free. thats what i did. My library had it.

    To log calorie burn from P90X your best bet is to use a heart rate monitor or Bodybugg and then take the reading from that device create a custom entry like "P90X program" in your exercise journal to log it.

    Second pass on P90X. I am going to state some realities.

    1) Your body shape will change with P90X guarenteed. Don't expect to go from having a tire around your mid section to a six pack of abs in 90 days. Will you lose the tire? Most likely. There are a lot of factors that play into getting that toned. Just be realistic. I planned on doing multiple rotations of the program until I got to the shape that I want to be in and so should you. 2 pant sizes (plus) and 20 ish lbs for me so far (160 days).

    2) There is a time commitment with p90x. 1 to 1.5 hours a day six days a week. Chalean and Power 90 are 45 minute routines (one 5 days, one 6 days). Both are also viable starting points.

    3) Its completely addictive, you build a ton of strength and tone up quickly. I concur with most of the other posters on this message. You may start all your push ups knees down and there is no dishonor in doing so.

    Good Luck,

    Craig

    There are actually a few Beachbody programs available at Walmart in Canada - P90X & Insanity for sure. They're available everywhere here... even at bizarre places, like Office Depot. :laugh:

    Those are actually counterfeits, no Beachbody program is permitted to be sold in stores.

    Seriously? That's craziness - I can't imagine Beachbody hasn't sued the *kitten* out of all the companies that sell their product here, if they're fakes. I sent them an email... says they'll get back to me tomorrow.

    I think they might already have sued them once, or litigation is still pending perhaps. There has been a huge problem with counterfeits of P90X, and possibly other Beachbody programs, too.

    What's sad is that I see comments from people online who buy these counterfeits without realizing it. They don't understand why the dvds don't come with the book, or the nutrition guide- and then of course, there's no "customer service" from these counterfeit places- and sadly, these same people who got duped end up going online saying how horrible P90X is and the customer service is crap... blah blah blah... when really, they never bought a legitimate copy from the actual company in the first place. It's really unfortunate- both for Beachbody and for those people who are duped by unscrupulous people.

    Well, got an email back from Beachbody. They confirm that their products are sold in stores here (which, really, I couldn't imagine that basically EVERY store I walked into here was selling counterfeits...). C&P of email below... the whole not-in-stores deal must be a U.S. only thing. :)
