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!

What is google? I've heard of that too... I think

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

Haha, my first thought as well!

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!!

I didn't say go google it and get the f* out of here, I said I think I heard of google then winked, yes that is humour. Sorry it was lost on you.

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.

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!

My results have been exactly what I was looking for, but obviously it isn't going to work for everybody. I enjoy the pace of the videos and they give my workouts structure. I've also seen a ton of people's photos on this site alone who got great results from the program. It's a good place to start if you want to build some muscle, but aren't sure where to start. My running has improved since I began it, as well as my flexibility (for the first time in my life I can touch my toes) and that is definitely not minimal results to me! It isn't just about lifting weights, or even lifting heavy weights, it also provides a wide variety of cardio, flexibility, and core work outs. I've eliminated knee and back pain thanks to all the strenghening moves, many of which don't require equipment, whereas the gym's weight machines were only aggravating my poor joints and I certainly wasn't brave enough to try my hand in the free weights section having absolutely no clue what I was doing.

Of course it's still an infomercial and they're going to promote all their overpriced stuff (recovery drinks, etc) but I just didn't buy into it. All I got were the discs which was around $130 or so with shipping. But I also cancelled my gym membership ($60 a month) and have seen much better results, so I say I saved money. I'd recommend it to anybody.
