    One more thing, I bought from Beachbody legit and a couple of my CDs skip and/or get totally stuck.
    I only did 2 rounds so that was so annoying round 2! I've heard this happening to others. So the workouts ae good but cheaply made discs.

    I have been through P90X, Insanity (numerous rounds), the Turbo JAMS & FIRE, CLX and now am on 3 time of Jillian Michaels Body Rev.! They are ALL useful and you will benefit from each but I will admit I found Tony Horton a dork and the workouts boring. I did P90X before Insanity then TRIED to do P90X again afterwards and just could not get into it. They just seemed STALE after Insanity. I do like JMBR and she has alot of Shaun T's fitness moves so it is fun and YES they kick your @ss too!!
    Whatever you choose, just do your best and forget the rest! Famous words of none other but Tony Horton!!! Good Luck!!

    Didn't know it included a "modified" version. That's very encouraging to hear. Quick clarification on equipment. I can use resistance bands in place of the pull up bar? Am I correct?

    They will send you replacement disks for free! It can happen with any dvds...

    I like the P90X. I'm a woman btw. I got the DVDs from a relative and I did the workouts with my husband. Considering I didn't follow the diet plan exactly as recommended, I had pretty good results. I love Tony Horton's style. He's funny, fun, clear without being annoying. And the DVDs have modfications for those who need some modifications.

    You can use the bands on a door to do pull downs instead of pull ups. Works the same lat muscles. The bands work in the beginning, but if you can get one of those pull down bars you can attach to a door, go for it.
