    I tried it about 3 years ago. It was good. I didn't stick to it long enough to see results but my mom and step dad did it and they look amazing. They really toned up and lost a lot of inches. I borrowed it from my mom so I am not sure how much it was but based on her results I say it was worth it!

    I paid $140 for the program. You work it 6 days a week, 7th day rest...for 12 weeks. I'm on week 8 right now...like it so far. Hard and intense, but fun at the same time if that makes any sense! I like it.

    Hi!

    I'm in week 3 of my first round - if you follow the schedule you have stuff to do 7 days a week (1 day is yoga, 1 day is stretching so it's not 7 days of craziness). It's definitely challenging, but worth it. I know a lot people on here say you can get the same results with a gym membership and your own routine, but personally I like having the schedule and the workouts figured out for me - means I can't slack off and choose something easy instead :)

    It's about $119 if you get it through BeachBody. That doesn't include your equipment though - a pull up bar and dumbbells or resistance bands and a door hookup. I ended up getting those through amazon.

    feel free to message me if you have any specific Qs!

    I'm starting in January. I got my videos from a friend and burned them, and I found all the info about the whole program online, and signed up for a free coach thru beach body. The diet is very strict, watch youtube, you can find a TON of information about it.

    I did it for a while, until I seriously hurt my lower back doing the Ab Ripper routine. I thought I was modifying the moves enough, but I guess not. It's taken me a month (3 chiro appts, 2 accupuncture appts, and 2 massages later) to recover. I switched to 30 day shred (you can watch on youtube) and C25k. When they say p90x is extreme, it's no joke. Also, it's a big time commitment - at least an hour a day. And you do need some equipment, so take that into consideration. The threads showing people's results are very inspiring, though. Just be really careful and modify the moves in the beginning as needed.

    There are modifications for not using equipment, so it's not "necessary", but beneficial...and the workouts are about an hour long each, just give yourself enough time!

    Haven't tried it, but you should search the message boards for P90X there's tons of topics about it that might help you decide if it's the right plan for you. I didn't even know until recently you could search topics, but it's a great tool to find answers to questions :)

    I did p90x and am about to start a second time through it. You definetly have to have the bands/dumbbells and a pull up bar. The bands can be used if you dont have a pull up bar.
