by bye P90X, hello...

I would get whatever you think you will use most, and will carry you the furthest. That's going to be different for each person, but you need to figure out what will inspire YOU the most to continue your journey.

I saw spring for P90X...you only have to pay for it once, unlike a gym membership and its a lot cheaper than a treadmill. Not to mention its awesome!

My fiance's parents gave us the P90X disks about 3 or 4 months ago. I started it and feel in love although took a break after a vacation since I got out of the groove of it and have restarted a few weeks ago full force. Now they are asking for it back. So, do I splurge and spend the money I don't have on....
1. a new P90X and all the equipment (the bands and pull up bar came from them too)
2. another beachbody work out - I had started to do the workouts on silence because I had memorized what was said. I've heard some comments on here about insanity
3. gym membership
4. extra splurge and get a treadmill since I am more motivated to run on that than outside

suggestions??

My vote is for INSANITY- made by the same people who do P90X no equitment needed just as challengeing (maybe more)

I use TheGymbox. I've had it since December on my Roku player. It is a streaming service that provides new workouts every week. I use it mostly for the strength classes, but they have a ton of stuff. I've done P90X too, but what they have is good for day 91 on. It sets me back $10 bucks a month, but if you take the cost of P90X over a year it is about $10 bucks a month and with TheGymbox I get a new workout every week. My wife uses it too.

I tried P90X a few times and always failed about 4 weeks in. It's very long and difficult for me. So I ended up failing. But I got ChaLEAN Extreme and absolutely LOVE it! I just purchased Turbo Jam today and will do that at the same time. Just here and there when I feel like it and on some rest days, etc. I decided to keep the workouts shorter than P90X and do something that I feel like is FUN. I actually find myself smiling now while working out!

can you guys describe chaLEAN and supreme 90? those sound interesting

ChaLEAN Extreme is set up similar to P90X, in that it is a 90 day program and you do one set of work out for the first month, then another set of work outs for the next month. Only thing you will need are dumb bells. Go heavy or go home!!! Loved CLX!!!!

I quit P90X because it wasn't quite for me, but I really like Turbo Jam. It's really fun. They also have an option that when you get so used to the moves and know what's coming next, you can have the music pumped up and you can barely hear Chalene. I really like Chalene and recommend any of her workouts, though. I haven't personally done them, but Chalene is really motivating and fun and what I love is that her body and her crew's is/are not perfect and they all just do what they can do with what they've got. If you need any more info about Turbo Jam, feel free to message me and ask me (and that goes for anyone and everyone) as I don't always think to check the boards, especially since I now have the BB app and don't have to get online to log my food.

I meant to address a couple of things about P90X in my last post but I forgot. One, some people think that it is just too expensive. I understand; it is pricy. But I am currently in my fifth time going through it and of course I only had to buy it once. I plan to continue using it for years to come so figured on a per workout basis it is very cheap. Second, many people quit because it is too hard; I don't really completely understand that. I just used lighter weights, fewer repetitions, abbreviated the cardio time, and did lower intensity until I got in shape to do more. The workouts do get long, at about an hour each. But having gone through it several times I now hit the "skip ahead" button on the remote to shorten the time. For example, they allow a lot of time for pull ups and I can't do that many, so skipping forward saves a bunch of time. I skip the breaks sometimes, though other times I need them. Anyway, P90X is great and almost every objection has a work around. It's not for everybody, but most anyone can do it if they want to. I don't mean to argue with its detractors, I just want to point out that there are work arounds for those who want to do it but are intimidated. If you are interested in P90X but a little hesitant, consider taking it on but use it to work yourself into shape rather than jump in with heavy weights and long intense cardio. It is really great!

It all depends on what you will do and keep doing. I did two rounds of P90X and the results from doing that were phenomenal However I got really tired or working out at home. I had/have a gym membership at teh same time as the P90X and didnt go to the gym so I kinda spent more money than needed but I used my gym membership now and the P90x videos as well for my workouts. So I get the burn of P90X but the classes and other stuff from the gym...Its all dependng on what you are wanting out of it.

im looking personally to try p90x but you will LOVE LOVE LOVE ChaLEAN extreme/Turbofire. I need to change it up but she will always be my go to for a killer fun and challenging workout!
