A couple P90x questions! Help please? :)

wittlelacey

I just finished the 30 Day Shred and I didn't take it as seriously as I told myself I would, although I did lose about 5 pounds! Next, I want to tackle P90x and I'm determined to push myself and commit. But there's a couple of problems.

1. There's NO WAY IN HELL I can afford $120 to buy this. I buy all the DVD's I can afford, but only when I can scrape together $10 or so. This is out of the question. I know I would not be the first, so are there full online versions I could watch for free?

2. I don't have all the materials, and again, I won't be able to purhase them. I have a mat and 3 pound handweights, is this enough? How important are the resistance bands and pull up bar? Could I get by without these?

3. Shakeology. 120 extra dollars-hell no. Is this all that important as well? Did you do it?

I look forward to reading any responses! Thanks in advance )

1. Ebay is your friend

2. Resistance bands vital. You can get by with out the chin up bar, but a set of bands isn't that expensive and you really really need at least those. 3 lbs weights are probably not enough

3. No. And No.

I don't know if you could find them online.... and you kinda need the manuals to go with it or you won't know what you are doing.

I bought a pull up bar for AU$17 online. I don't use resistance bands.

3lb weights are definitely not enough. I got a set of dumbells with interchangable plates for AU$70. I'm up to 18lb weights and could prob use more.

I don't do shakes either

Thank you, both of you! I wasn't expecting these answers, I guess P90x is out of the question altogether. Thanks again for your help

I bought a 20kg dumbell weight set from bigW just last week, it only cost $30. Not sure if you have one of those handy at all.

If you can get your hands on the tapes, you don't need to buy anything for the Plyometrics, Yoga and Kenpo workout. For the other days you could do a lot with a resistance band ($20).

My recovery drink when I did it was a glass of milk with a a scoop of protein powder.

You won't find them online. Maybe ebay. You don't need shakeology. You need resistance bands or weights, no way around that. I have been making do without the chin up bar since I need my uncle and his power drill to install the one i have.

Try insanity. I like it better than P90 and you don't need any additional equipment. If you can get the DVDs you can find the workout program online. Try craigslist

I agree with the Insanity comment. No equipment needed (except for the additional Upper Body video but it's not included in the main program)
