i am really thinking about purchasing one of their exercise programs. I am interested in p90x, 10 minute trainier, and turbofire.

Which exercise program do you like? Reviews?

Does p90x really produce all those results that are mention in the infommericals?

I am on a Zumba craze and I would love to add p90x into my exercise regimen.

    I have friends that have done P90X and it's a tough but rewarding program. Be ready for 90 days of it. One of my other friends has TurboFire and she loves it.

    Personally, if I had known about TurboFire before I purchased Insanity, I would've gotten that one instead.

    I don't have any of those but I do have Insanity and Chalean Extreme. I was debating between P90X and Chalean and decided to go with Chalean Extreme. I think P90X is geared more towards men and Chalean Extreme IS P90X---but for women. I am NOT saying women can't do P90X---I am just saying that I believe P90X is geared more towards men in mind, as Chalean Extreme is geared more towards women in mind. I love the Chalean Extreme dvds. I am towards the end of the first month and I am already seeing some results. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    There is a fitness test you can take to see if you are ready. The 10 Minute Trainers are a great way to ease into the program. You can start with 1 and add another as they get too easy. Once you are up to doing 3 or 4 of them jump into the P90X. It is a total program. My physical therapist did it, and she looked awesome at the end of the three months.

    My hubby does P90X almost every day, but he says he likes Insanity and Asylum much better.

    i think p90x would be a great workout to ad to zumba. since that is already a lot of cardio the strength in p90x would be an awesome mix! i did a round of p90x and got great muscle defiintion, onto insanity now! :) good luck!

    I am currently doing Insanity. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Love it because it's a great program, Shaun T is awesome, and i know I can get results with it! Hate it because it's hard...but it's never too bad once I finally get into it, it's just getting myself to start that's difficult. Next I am thinking about doing Chalean Extreme! I don't think you can go wrong with any of their programs though, just find the one that you think you will enjoy the most. Oh, and I'm not a coach or anything like that, so I'm really not trying to sell you on it, just giving you my honest opinion!

    I was sort of thinking the same thing about Chalean v. p90x, that's why I've picked chalean next. I don't really like the gym thing that they do p90x in, I know that's sort of silly, but I can't picture an hour looking at that gray room everyday for 90 days!

    Charlean Extreme, she's really good at showing the correct forms.
    P90x only has 1 day of lower body workout. Chalean 3 times a week also focus on women problem area-thighs.


    Turbo Fire is a good fat burning work out for beginner. I could not keep my heart rate up in Turbo Fire.
    If you like zumba, you probably like this also. I'm doing Insanity right now and loving it.

    Both P90x and Insanity, they are easy to damage your body if you don't do the form correctly.
    I heard P90x2 is an improvement from P90x so if you want P90x.. order the new P90X2 instead.

    I own,power 90, p90x, Insanity, Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, Chalean Extreme, Insanity, and Brazil Butt lift, but I've had the most success with turbo fire. At the end of the day, I think it all depends on your goals, and what you like to do. I swear by beachbody products, they are expensive, but I think that's because they truly do deliver amazing results, but it doesn't come easy, you have to work hard for it, and enjoy it. For me, I do believe p90x gives great results, but I found the music in them to be really boring, and it made me dread the work out. With turbo fire, the music is AMAZING, it's music you will recognize from the radio, and you may even be able to sing along with if you aren't too out of breath. It's filmed in a class setting, so it feels like you're right there in class with everyone and you can match another classmates energy level. I love Chalene, it doesn't matter how tired I am she has a way of making me forget about it, and get my second wind, and in all honesty the results I get keep me coming back for more. Also my main goal was to lose weight, I could have continued doing p90x but because I still had a lot of fat to lose and the fact that p90x was mainly a strength building workout, I felt that something more cardio based would give me the results I was looking for, and it has :) I hope this helps!

    that helps out tremedously. I am trying to do mostly cardio with some strength training, Do you recommend turbo fire out of all of them?
