I've seen this a few times on other weightloss sites. What is it, exactly?

    It's a work out that can benefit and challenge even a person who's already in pretty good shape. It's a lot of FUN!!

    It's a fitness program from beachbody.com. You can go to http://p90x.com to get info from the vendor.

    I've been doing it for about a month, but I'm not at the point where I can do it every day yet. It's very intense, but if you can do it, you can get very fit. For folks unable to do the P90X routine, they have several other workout videos (including P90 "Classic" which is similar but not quite as intense).

    P90X is a workout program by BeachBody Fitness. It's pretty intense, but gets results. I ordered it, then ended up tearing my ACL the day before it came. Bummer! But I've seen lots of people get amazing results.

    There are several CDs that come with the program - Kenpo, Stretching, Yoga, Chest & Back, Shoulders & Arms, Legs & Back, Chest Shoulders & Triceps, Back & Biceps, Plyometrics, Core, Cardio, Ab Ripper.

    It includes a 90 day program to follow with all the cds.

    Good Luck!

    That was really rude. The person hasnt heard of P90 so she was just asking. No reason to be snotty about it.

    I have to agree with this She was simply asking a bunch of people on a FITNESS site about P90X.. no need to be rude about it..

    it's an overrated workout plan that people throw their money at.

    i'm very anti-p90x, i think it's just completely overrated. just eat healthy, lift heavy and stay active and you can achieve the same results, if not better than what you'd get wasting your time doing p90x

    THANK YOU!

    Come on guys, google is a great resource to find out WHAT something is. For detailed opinions on how effective it is then yes, MFP is the place for that.

    Ps: obviously no one understands what ;) is either, lets all google that. It is a playful wink, it is used to indicate humour and friendly teasing. YAY GOOGLE HELPS AGAIN!

    I saw a few people on here were doing it, I'd rather ask the people that are doing it and maybe get personal opinions on it than just google it.
    P.S. a smiley face doesnt make a rude comment ok.

    Thanks everyone else for your replies!!

    Ha ha ha, **like***

    I'm all for beachbody and some of there programs but ONLY if you buy these systems for $50 or less like me. If you pay $150 on the infomercial then yea, you got sucked into the marketing hype and overpaid. I got Insanity for free and I'm glad I did, did not like it at all, Turbo Fire for $50 and Chalene Extreme for $25, the power of classifieds people! All that DVD savings = free skinny clothes.

    It wasn't THAT expensive. Furthermore, I was very intimidated by weights and the gym for YEARS and P90X introduced me to free weights and really started me off. It was just the introduction I needed and it's been extremely insightful and helpful for me. I'm not the only one who thinks this. There are thousands of us. I've seen changes in my body that I would not be seeing right now if it weren't for the P90X program.

    it's dropped down in price, but still i think it's around the $250 mark, which is just stupid when you can get workout plans for FREE on the internet.

    and i've yet to see any impressive "before and after" p90x progress pictures (that isn't an obvious advertorial run by p90x marketing *kitten*)

    for something that works you so hard, the results sure are minimal.

    The results are only minimal if you don't put in the work or eat well.

    I love it and have gotten wonderful results.

    I've got friends that are doing it and the results are great. One had issues with hitting a plateau, but she just threw in some Zumba and is off and running with both. I love the Beachbody products, and there are ways of buying from the company without paying the full price.

    Good luck, and welcome!
