P90X... Why so much hate?

I've been browsing around this site and I've encounter countless amount of people who practically hate this system, and if they don't hate it, at least they're doing a perfect job making it look like they do. Why so much hate? Is it because is an extreme workout? Is it because of its crazy diet? Maybe because you don't like how Tony Horton talks? Or even the length of the workouts?

I don't plan to make a 3 pages post trying to explain what needs no explanation, instead I'm going to try be as direct as possible, specially to answer those questions I wrote above.

It seems people have forgotten that hard work is what pays off, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, but when you look at how this country (US) has one of the highest levels of obesity, it makes me realize that people have forgotten what muscles are for, all they do is 4 basic moves... flexion of the elbow to take the food and drinks to their mouths, extension of the jaw to open their mouth to allow the food and drinks in their mouths, extension of the elbow to grab more food and drinks, and constant repetition of contraction and extension of the jaw to chew the food... you know the rest from this moment on.

People, understand that the system is turning you into sloths because the system is putting everything at your hands to avoid you get your butt off the chair to make you comfortable, and the truth is they're not doing it to make you comfortable, they're doing it to get your money, and as a side effect you're getting lazy and therefore fat. If you are lazy you'll hate to move, even if it comes to walk which is the simplest action to do, which brings me to this; if you hate to walk to two blocks to go buy whatever you want from whatever place is only two blocks away, wouldn't it make sense you hate an extreme fitness program that took, if I'm not mistaken, a little over two years of study to be made, that is capable of transforming your body in just 90 days? The answer is yes.

No one ever lies, not the fitness users nor BeachBody, that this is an extreme workout. This is not for beginners. Can it still be done by beginners? Yes, but you need to read the instructions, they have taken in consideration almost all possible aspects that can happen, and what's even better, you get free online coaching from people like you to help you overcome any issues you might encounter. Don't hate it cause is hard, don't hate it cause it really works, don't hate it cause you'll be in pain while doing it and sore the day after, don't hate it because you're lazy and have no motivation.

It is true the diet is crazy, but I'm pretty sure they give you not only the option of comparing different types of food with the same nutrition levels so you can have a variety of things to eat, but also what's important for you is to keep the calorie count, protein, carbs and fat count in order to get results whether you eat what they tell you or not. I never ate a damn thing from their diet guide, and you can see my results in my pictures. And last but not least, BeachBody even has an online tool where you put what foods you eat and it helps you build a diet plan based on it. So don't hate it cause you can't eat all the unhealthy food you use to, or because you can't eat as much as you want, or because you need to eat every three hours.

You don't like Tony Horton talking and making jokes? In case you didn't know, the DVDs come with the option of muting his voice right before you start the program. Leave the music on... What? You don't like the music they have? Put your own damn music and stop complaining. I'm sure when you go to a gym (if you do) and you don't like the music, you don't go to the office and tell them to change they music, probably you don't even pay attention to it cause you're working out. Stop looking for ways to hate the program.

The length of the workouts is the last issue I'm going to talk about. Honestly, if you're planning to drop pounds of body fat, gain muscle, build endurance, etc in just 90 days and you don't expect to at least workout 1 hour a day, you're just living in a Harry Potter world where you move a magic wand and get things done right away. If you start thinking how long it took you to put on that extra weight, I'm sure it didn't take you 90 days for that. Oh wait, did it take you a year? More than a year? Yeah, that's probably right, so after years of bad eating habits and becoming lazy to a point that you run out of breath if you go for a jog... I'm sorry I meant for a walk, do you really expect that you can lose all of that in 90 days just working out 15 minutes a day? Wake the hell up people, go to school, take some anatomy and physiology classes and study your body. The program was design to get the maximum possible results in just 90 days. If you don't think you can do one hour a day for 90 days to get in shape, then forget about quick results and do something else that will take longer. Just stop hating the program just because you rather spend an hour watching a movie, playing video games, being online in Facebook rather than doing something for yourself, for your health, for your fitness, for the people who loves you.

That's all I gotta say. It is my own personal opinion whether you love it or hate it. Things are they way they are no matter how much you try to make it look like something else.
