P90X

I actually did two rounds of P-90X , and I loved it! Just like most workout programs, it will work but only if you stick to it. It will be difficult at first, but if you give your best to each workout, over time the exercises will become easier and you will begin to enjoy them more. I lost about thirty pounds, going from 165 to about 130. Not only did I lose weight, but I also became a lot stronger and more toned, so not all success can be measured by the scale. I did not follow the P-90X fitness guide, as I found a lot of the ingredients to be expensive and inaccessible for me. However, I did cut out certain foods, such as chips, crackers, soda, etc. I made sure to drink plenty of water everyday and eat lots of fruits and veggies.
My main goal was to ensure that I was making a total lifestyle change and not just dieting and working out here and there, and I have been successful. I am in week 6 of P-90X3 now, my healthy eating is still going strong, and my weight tends to fluctuate from 125 - 130. The workouts are long and will force you to work hard, but I have found that if something is truly important to you, you will make time for it. I have never been this happy or healthy in my life, and I commend you for making the choice to improve your life and well-being. Good luck on your fitness journey! Feel free to add me as a friend!

I just purchased it and only did the first day, so I can't say. However, the first workout was ALL push-ups and pull-ups. and it was an hour long, plus abs, which is the 2nd DVD you are supposed to do, which is another 15 minutes. So, you need to be able to dedicate between 1-1.5 hours a day to complete it. Also, google the fit test. they recommend a certain minimum fitness level before you should even start the program. It is definitely not for someone who has never really exercised before or hasn't for a while.

My husband completed the program and lost 30 lbs without dieting. He could do all sorts of stuff he never could before too. Like go running or do 50 push-ups with our 6 year old sitting on his back, ect. He was a beginner before starting this program as well.
I plan on making my way to P90X but have to start much slower since I just had a baby via c-section. I bought the new P90 and am going to start as soon as I get the okay.
I say go ahead and do the program. Start slow and modify when you need to. Eventually you'll be able to keep up. Do the lean routine and it's not as crazy either. Good luck to you!!

The key to p90, p90x, p90x2, and p90x3 is to gradually work yourself into the routine. Do not try to keep up with Tony Horton. Injuries stem from trying to do every rep that he does. If you can, then you obviously do not need this work out. Remember, he does this for a living and he's been doing this for 25 plus years.. Your diet is key too. Eat a well balanced meal, use my fitness pal, and do the program at your pace. Warm up before every routine and cool down afterwards. Do the stretches. You'll be sore, no doubt, but work through it. If you're a beginner, try using the resistance bands. Good luck to you.
