Am I ready for p90x?

I'm sure you could do p90X, but a couple caveats:

1) Be aware of the time commitment before you buy this program. The time involved for p90X workouts if you follow the program. Day 1, 3, and 5 workouts will total about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Day 4's workout is 1 hour and 30 minutes. Days 2 and 6 will be right about 1 hour. If you choose to do the Day 7 workout, I believe it is 45 minutes (or you can rest on Day 7).

2) If you do not like resistance bands, this program requires quite a bit of equipment. I'd suggest at least 3-5 sets of hand weights, a pull-up bar, a yoga mat and a yoga block.

P90X is a great program, but I found the time commitment to be too much for me. Jillian Michaels has a 40 minute workout called "No More Trouble Zones" that sells for around $10. For me, this was a much better investment of both my time and money. You will still need some hand weights, 3 sets would be enough to start, but do not need any other equipment. I found it to be a super effective workout! Builds a great deal of muscle and definitely strengthened muscle in all my "trouble" areas! It is all strength training, so I did it 4-5 days per week and mixed in 2-3 days of cardio on my off days.

Best of luck whatever you decide!

That Ab ripper workout is pretty tough. I did a couple rounds of P90x and was never able to complete all those reps.

I did P90X without all the equipment. I made my own modifications using free weights to work the same muscle groups when they did the pull ups. I didnt follow the diet plan and really didnt lose much weight but I did tone up quite a bit and lost 5 inches overall in the first 30 days. It is an excellent program to build strength and tone up. LIke someone else said if you have a hard time fitting in the workouts and can afford it the new P90X3 is great at only 30 minute workouts.

I would have said P90X3, only 30 minutes a day, but you own P90X so why not??? Or, like above, make it a hybrid with some weights.
Congrats on the job well done so far!!!!!!!

PS I didnt have a pull up bar when I started but I picked up a cheap one off ebay for under $20. Do as many pull ups as you can unassisted and then either get a pull up assist band or you can use a chair. You will increase the number of unassisted pullups pretty quick.

Do your best and forget the rest.

P90X is an amazing program ...it's not easy but..like Tony says....press pause button..they'll be there when you'll come back.
Going at your speed and doing what you can is still good enough and will give you plenty of results...you will also get better each week etc...

Yes, you can do it.

No, you should start with p89x.

"Ha ha, only if she's 5'3"!"

I call P90X the hardest 3 weeks of your life (before you quit), hahaha. So many pull ups (You can use a chair and there are many variations of the movements) and overall a super strenuous workout with little breaks for most of the people doing it. If it's any consolation, now that you know most people who start it are overreaching then why not throw your hat in the ring.

lol well put.

anyone can do p90x if you modify. personally i think the program is most optimal if you can already perform a few pull ups.

the p in p90x stands for pull ups lol

actually i stands for power. And there is a program by Tony called Power 90, which is the precussor to p90x and is presumably easier, might want to start there or even with p90x3

When I first started p90x, I only did the first 30 min of each workout. It wasn't a full workout, but it was enough to keep me going without quitting. (especially because of the time committment) I guess I sorta made my own "p90x3" before it came out! And it was still enough for me to see some results, without getting burned out too quickly. I had to work up to doing the full track consistently.
