I plan to start p90x is there anything I should do or know before I start? ( I borrowed the videos from a friend thats doesn't do it. So i don't have anything else that came with it. )

    P90X was one of the first programs I did to get back in shape and I had great results. It's hard work but the payoff is awesome. I'm actually thinking about doing another round of it.

    It was the 1st program I tried too. I found protein drinks after the workouts helped--I was still plenty sore, but it helped. I know it says Rest or Stretch on Sundays; but I would suggest the X Stretch, because it helps with flexibility and it was just a relaxing hour after a hard week of workouts.
    Good luck!

    Pray :) All jokes aside...nothing will truly prepare you. Just start and do your best.

    You'll need a pull-up bar (or resistance bands) and free weights for P90x.

    - Don't fast forward any parts when you are getting tired or lazy.
    - Don't get discouraged if you can't do a movement. It takes time before you start getting in the grove of things. It's tough if its your first time but its well worth it..
    - Try starting with a friend. This can help get you even more motivated (maybe place a bet! ;))
    - Have water handy!

    I was going to suggest that you research what equipment you would need. I personally haven't done it but I know my husband ended up investing in a pull up bar and free weights.

    You'll need the pull up bar and resistance bands. If you have a gym you can go to, you can use their free weights and pull up bars. You will also need access to a chair and a yoga mat.
