Can anyone honestly tell me about P90?

stop thinking about it and just order it. you need to do something and while P90 or it's sequels wouldn't be my first choice, they are far better than doing nothing and many people have had some form of success with them. if you've already read positive review after review, effect will getting another half dozen opinions have? You already know you want it so close this window, open up the beachbody site and order it up.

Stop stalling and just go work out.








pro tip: don't waste any money on shakeology tho

No....but I can lie to you about just about anything. Hit me up on PM's if you wanna hear some of my doozy's.

I am not a Beachbody coach, but I have completed P90X. The best thing about it is that there doesn't have to be high-impact cardio involved...you can just sub out a different cardio DVD (Cardio X) for the Plyo X DVD (which is pretty hard on the joints...but you can opt to keep that low-impact as well.) Yoga X is intimidating for anyone that has never done yoga before (like me when I started P90X).

As far as following the program and how successful it was, I did follow the program P90X Lean for the entire 13 weeks in 2012 and lost 18 pounds in that time. I followed the nutrition plan guidelines about 80% of the time and still had excellent results. I don't have before/after photos, unfortunately, but if you have any further questions, feel free to PM me.

^she's lying. she does have before/after pics. and they are AWESOME

Like daytonafitmom asked, which one are you talking about p90x or power 90, two different workouts and I happen to have both as the work I do doesn't allow me time to commute to the gym and back home, in that space of time I could do 2 at home workout videos, so I do a lot of at home workout videos. So which one are you interested in? They are both great, one is lower intensity and more for someone who is new to working out and is not ready for lots of plyo and too much intensity and the other is higher intensity and have different variety of workouts and weightlifting involved and also can be used by a beginner who is ready to really push themselves. Tell me which one and I can give you more info Or tell me what you are looking for in a workout(Do you want something that incorporates weightlifting with cardio or have dancing and high energy music etc) and I can make suggestions, as like I said I am an at home workout video queen, I have tons of workout videos and no I am not a coach for nor do I work for any fitness company.

I really can't endorse P90 enough. For the P90X dropout (me - I could barely do half of each workout) Power 90 was "the answer."

It's pretty simple, but you probably got that from the reviews - you alternate strength and cardio days, and then when you feel ready you increase the intensity.

It'll work you. You'll get tired. You'll want to quit. But the workouts are short, and you CAN push through them.

The only downside I have about the program is that doing the same two workouts over and over? I got extremely bored. I gave up after 30-40 days. But in those days? I saw results. I felt the changes. I got stronger. I got better.

Now I'm a P90X graduate, Turbofire graduate, and am doing Shaun T's new program, Focus T25.


P90 is a great way to kickstart your fitness and get into the habit of working out.

Suppakana, I just got the new Focus T-25 but I haven't started it yet, I have reviewed some of the videos, looks interesting, How do you like it so far? Are you still in Alpha phase? Are the workouts challenging enough, being as you are a p90x grad? I couldn't get into p90x got a bit boring, I suffer from exercise A.D.D. I am however a Les Mills Pump grad, so hoping this will be a little challenging.

You can always do it longer than 6 wks, same goes for power 90 if after 90 days you still need to lose you can continue or you can move on to something else. I will be honest with you, yes you can and will get bored with both slim in 6 and power 90 as they are not the most upbeat workout videos, but they get the job done(Weightloss) if you are committed. However if you are like me that gets bored and there is no way you can endure after a while no matter how committed you are, then I suggest you look into something else. What I do and this is just me in order not to get bored I have different workout videos that I do and alternate when I get bored with one or the other, but that's just me, not saying you should do the same as some people aren't as crazy as me to want to spend lots of money on workout videos(still cheaper than a gym membership tho, just saying).

You can go on youtube, look at the befit channel and try different workouts for free.

Is anyone here doing it or have done it? What did you think? And how closely did you follow both the exercise and meal plan?

I am on Day 22 of Power 90 (full disclosure: this is probably the 4th time I've started Power90, I always let other things get in the way, but I am 2 workouts from sticking with it longer than I have ever before). I've followed the workout schedule pretty closely but I had to break for 7 days after the second week to deal with a family emergency. I don't pay attention to the accompanying meal plan. I'm not currently using any of the Beachbody supplements either, although I have used the Slimming formula in the past and thought it was ok.

I have seen a huge improvement in my strength and endurance already. I've lost about 5 lbs, I haven't officially taken my measurements but I can see that I have lost inches.

From what I have read, and from what I have experienced myself from other times I've started this program, you don't lose a lot of weight in the first 30-45 day, but you build a lot of muscle, and then start dropping pounds in the 2nd half of the program.

I started this program again after dealing with tibial stress fractures early this year. The only part that gives me trouble is the 3 minutes of "high heat cardio" (jumping jacks, running in place, run-lunge), the rest is pretty easy on your lower body. Over all, I recommend this program so far.

A few gripes though:
1. Tony doesn't give a whole lot of guidance on proper form during the Sculpt 1-2 video, so if you've NEVER worked with weights before that could be an issue.
2. I feel like he doesn't pay enough attention to my problem areas as a woman, so I usually do supplemental squats, lunges, and deadlifts on Sculpt days. I am normally a HUGE Jillian Michael's fan, but I wanted a program that was more "guy friendly" beginners plan that my fiance and I could do together. I think that is exactly what I got.
3. I also feel like he half-*kitten* through the warm-up and cool-down/stretching, so I add in some extras there, too.

And a tip that really helps me get through the workouts: Do them with the music off and play your own music, it makes it go by so much faster.

If you decide to do it, good luck!
