I think the topic sums it up... :smile:

We just ordered P90X and I am wondering what gear you guys recommend? We have a pull-up bar and a nice large gym area w/ mats ect... what else should I pick up? Bands, weights...?

Thanks in advance! :drinker:

    You will definitely need weights. I use 5 pds, 8 pds and 10 pounds. My fiance uses anywhere between 10-45pds. You dont necessarily need resistance bands (these are used instead of weights or the pull-up bar). Other than that, you should bet set!

    I started out with just 2 - 10lbs dumbbells and 2 - 15lbs dumbbells, my wife used the resistance bands, and some light dumbbells. Also the pull-up bar like you said and a yoga mat. After I completed my first 90 days I started thinking about additional weight and went for the bowflex select tech.

    Best of luck!

    Bands are for if you don't use weights.

    Yoga Mat-yes, I use it on carpet

    Yoga Blocks-I already needed them after the 3rd week. I was using a styrofoam box I had that is about the same size as a block.

    LOVE this program!
