Anyone using p90x?

Is this workout suitable for me to do in a 1st floor flat? I'm thinking of buying it, but don't want the neighbours complaining if I'm leaping about!

I'm on my first week of p90x, how do I log it on here?

After testing out a few other different workout DVD's, like Insanity, I have come back for another round of P90X and am currently in the beginning of Week 2.
As far as logging it in, I create my own custom workouts, but I give it the same amount of credit as circuit training.

Regarding another question about working out on a 1st floor flat, the only workout that has you jumping around a little is Plyo X, which is basically jump training. In the DVD, he stresses jumping and landing with your toes and balls of your feet, resulting is softer and quieter landings, and reducing your chance of injury..............so in other words, if you do it right, you should be fine as all of the other exercises are relatively quiet.

After jumping around to different programs (Insanity, Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser, etc), I have come back to P90X, although Insanity is a close 2nd.

Insanity tends to be a "balls to the wall" type workout, with very little let up.........and it seems to be more cardio-centric.
P90X is more of a toning or body building type workout, as it actually focuses on the different areas of your body, and strips them down.
With Insantiy, I felt the short term shortness of breath, and then all was good.
With P90X, I dealt with the lingering soreness that comes from a good workout.

Take today for example, I just did the Chest & Back workout yesterday, and my triceps, chest, and lats are sore today. What am I doing today, Plyometrics (jump training)? So that means I will still have some lingering upper body soreness tomorrow, coupled with soreness in my calves, thighs, and hams..........only to do another upper body workout, working the shoulders, biceps and triceps.

The way P90X moves around the body is just perfect, as it allows just enough recovery time between working certain body sections.

That's a pretty good calculator, and the results aren't too far off from what you get for "circuit training" on this site.

Sorry, I was referring to the calculator recommended by bernsangel up above.

Yes, I've done P90X and am now doing P90X2 which is very different than P90X. Both are great, but in different ways. How do you like it so far?

What you'll find with P90X is that it is not a gimmick, it is simply good workouts that you can do in the gym. It involves Resistance Days, Cardio Days, and Yoga. Very well rounded.

I will be starting tomorrow just recieved it today I am so excited. It is good to hear you are having great results...

Plyometrics may disturb the neighbors below you, LOTS of jumping around!
In some of the workouts, jumping jacks are part of the warmup. My knees are bad, so I do a 'skip rope' type of 'jumping'. Tony does say "Land on your toes-soft landing"

Could you speak with your neighbors and inform them you will be working out and they may hear some thumping on certain days?

By the way, whoever is interested, if you go to this page, you can download the PDF worksheet for P90X or at the bottom of the page you can download the Excel spreadsheet so you can have everything in one file. The excel file includes the following tabs

Full Routine, Fit Test, and a tab for each workout.

I want to do it really bad, but I just can't afford it. does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?

Wellllll I saw how expensive it was so I had a friend who is tech savy burn me 13 discs. I figured if it wasn't for me it I wasnt wasting any money

that's smart. I need to see if any of my friends have it, cause I'm sure I could figure out how to do it. I've burned dvds before.

A better and more legal option would be to workout with your friends that have the program. This way you get to use the workout program for free and you get motivation from the friend you are exercising with.

I am starting next week add me if you like I am wanting to follow others on the plan

I did P90X in 2010 and lost 26 pounds. Got in better shape than when I was in high school. It is a great workout, especially if you commit to it. I started the classic version in Jan 1 of this year and have lost a few more pounds but more important, I am getting more toned.
I highly recommend this workout to anyone.

Plyo is the only one that have you jumping around (it is on the schedule for me today). I don't think your neighbords will mind, especially if you warn them ahead of time of some jumping noise once a week.
