Advice for P90X - resistance bands & program choice

captawesome

Hey all,

I finally received my new resistance bands in the mail today and I am planning on starting P90X on the 2nd April (pretty darn excited about it too to be honest!). One thing I was curious about was the weight of the resisitance bands people - and more specifically women - have used. I am of reasonable strength and fitness but I also tend to bulk easier too. I want to add strength (working towards tough mudder next year), lose fat and tone the cr@p out of my wobbly bits. So, asking from a "no experience in P90X" point of view, did you try high resistance (weight) or low?

Another thing I was keen to know was what workout plan you chose and why? Classic, doubles or lean? And how were your results?

Thanks!

Hi there! I've done 60 days of P90X in the past and I had great results! I did the classic version, I picked that one because I heard the results for women were pretty great . Although, I'm sure the lean would give great results as well.I should mention though that I was also doing c25k at the time, so it was more like I was doing doubles.

I don't have the bands, I used free weights. I started with 8 and 10 pound weights, and at the end of my 60 days I was using 15-20 pound weights. Wish I would have done the full 90 days, but life got in the way.

I'm about 60 days in again right now, but no c25k this time. Right now I'm using my 10 and 15 pound weights. My results this time won't be that dramatic because life is getting in the way again, and I've missed some workouts, but I'll keep on pushing play because even working out only three to four days a week is better than the nothing I was doing three months ago lol.

Good luck!
