You will see results! Is it worth it? It all depends are what your goals are and what other resources you may have. I will tell you that P90x really is for people who are already in decent shape. There are other programs that Beachbody sells that work amazingly as well but are more for beginners. I dont know where you are at fitness wise. If you would like friend me and we can chat more about this

I did it and had awesome results I had a lot of weight to lose so I don't look ripped but I lost about 35 lbs. I would definitely reccomend it and also check out insanity, it is more intense then P90X. I just started it last week and already lost two inches off my waste. Just about anything from beachbody I think is worth it! Good luck I hope this helped you.

Wait, did you lose the 35 in one round of P90X? Or two?

P90X is way out of my league at the moment - there is a fitness test online to see if you are up to it!

I am just finishing my third week of my second Round of P90X. The program is intense and as many above have mentioned, requires a good starting fitness threshold. You will push your body hard - both in terms of cardio fitness and strength training. You will exercise 6 days a week. The cardio workouts- PlyoX, KenpoX, Core Synergistics and even YogaX are each about one hour long (Yoga is 100 minutes) and I regularly burn over 450-500 calories on each (higher on PlyoX). The strength training workouts are also circuit training in nature, meaning that you have little rest or recovery time before you move on to the next one. As a result, your heart rate will be well within higher aerobic zones throughout most of those workouts as well.

As for results, you can expect to lose weight on P90X, provided you follow the diet plan and stick to the workouts. However, you will probably also gain muscle mass, which tempers the weight loss a bit. For example, in the first three weeks of this round, I have lost 4.6 pounds overall, but have dropped 8.3lbs of fat and gained 3.7lbs of muscle mass.

For me, P90X is a great workout because my body responds well to the combination of strength training and cardio workouts. If the weight training isn't your style, I'd recommend looking at Turbo Jam or Slim in 6 as those are more cardio focused.

I'm hoping to drop my weight another 10lbs in the remaining 12 weeks and get my body fat down another 7%. Then I'm going to take on Insanity
