Is there any inexpensive way to get ahold of P90X? +

Not legitimately.

Not legitimately.

hahaha

Try your local library mine either has it available or can be ordered in from the network of libraries that they're a part of.

Check out your local Library or QVC you usually get more for you price and most of the time they have easy pay with no intrest and if you don't like it just send it back

I would suggest borrowing from a friend or something. Don't buy from Ebay

Just a quick read in case someone is looking into buying from Ebay or some other site.

Carl D from Beachbody just was awarded over 2 million dollars by a company that was trying to bootleg P90X and sell it on Ebay. They are in the process of trying to get these products back so they can burn them. They are NOT authentic.

I suggest ordering it from beachbody.com. They have an installment plan.

Yes there's nothing wrong with re selling them as people sell a lot of things like that on ebay-as long a they aren't being sold as originals on there and that they aren't bootlegged, but you have to be careful- you don't know if they are going to be cracked or have things missing.

Im not sure if the price for p90x is comparable to insanity. They both have the same concept but insanity is more cardio and p90x is more weight training and they are by the same company. Any way, I paid $120 for mine new from beach body ordered from the infomercial. $60 is actually a pretty good deal considereing what I paid new. Just something for you to keep in mind

Just wanted to note I've cleaned up some of the posts on this topic. Remember, we cannot allow anyone to endorse illegal activity, and that includes illegal purchase of copyrighted material (piracy). Please keep this in mind when posting.

Thanks for understanding. :flowerforyou:

understood, but not sure why I got edited after suggesting she try Craigslist - my assumption what that she would buy a legit copy on the secondary market (as opposed to some pirated/burned version from the back of someone's trunk)

P90x is NOT expensive for ALL of the workouts that you get. Look at how much people spend on a gym, one they may never use. P90x is not really all that much when you look at what you get!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P90X

The wiki outlines what they do and for how long and when. It also describes the nutrition plan which can be monitored here on MFP to make sure you're in the right percentages. It also lists the suggested equipment that you can probably find cheaply on Craigslist (last I knew handweights weren't anything you could pirate).

If you don't know what a certain exercise listed is, Google it. IMHO, that *is* too much money for a simple concept (intense exercise and rotating which muscles your using at unpredictable intervals) just to be able to watch people that are in great shape easily handle a crazy workout. That being said, the wiki has a warning:

"P90X has been criticized because of its rapid pace. Because P90X users train without a personal trainer, they may increase exercise intensity (i.e. more weight/higher repetitions) faster than the body can adapt. There is a learning curve for each exercise, and increasing exercise intensity too quickly can result in injury. The lack of supervision can allow users to learn exercises with improper form, which may result in injury. The "90 day" nature of the program may encourage some users to increase exercise intensity faster than they should, in a desire to "look like Tony" after only 90 days of exercise. It has been suggested that the P90X program does not provide adequate training in these areas."

Actually paying to have the video is not a personal trainer. Use the wiki and make your own plan. Putting the research and effort in should be motivation enough to follow through.
