    Good luck, P90X is AWESOME and totally works if you stick to it! I lost over 20 pounds on it without even dieting a few years ago.

    You don't need a pullup bar. You can use the band attachment.

    P90X is one of the best workouts out there. I have done 180 days of p90X and have just completed the first 60 days of P90X2. It is a great workout. You will love it.

    Just a question if anyone knows the answer - I'm trying to work my way up to doing p90x. How in shape would you recommend someone be to be able to complete the program

    I just started working out about two monthes ago but I am doing pretty good now. I'm looking to try it maybe over the summer if possible. Currently I am doing Jillians 30 day shred level two and it is hard but manageable. I also do Turbo Jam almost daily - a 30 or 45 minute cardio jam and also a 20 min ab jam routine.

    Any answers or even guesses would be greatly appreciated!

    I started P90X to change up my workout and add some intensity. Change is key :) and I'll be on week 3 phase 1 Monday. I'm doing the 'lean' schedule but 5 days a week not 6 as intended (I want to be able to stick with it lol). I love it and have lost about 3 inches in my waist and 2lbs so far. I'm positive the week I didn't loose weight, I was gaining lean muscle...yeah, that quickly! Just 'bring it', for real, and you'll love it to... and the sore that comes with it ;)

    In MY case... I started it when I was 201 at 5'6 and completelly out of shape... Im doing just fine.. I've lost 13 lb.. seeing lots of definition.. I guess it depends on how much you're willing to put into it.. excuses will always exist.. I've seens guys wayyy out of shape do it... you can modify every move... good luck :)

    Thanks! It is so intimidating to me but I am definately ready to put the work in - just don't want to set myself up for disaster! I think I'll finish off the jillian micheals workout and start on p90x.

    OH! And good luck to you both and anyone else thinking of doing it! You don't have to be in shape really, but it helps ;) I lost 50lbs before I started MFP or P90X and I feel like it helped me prepare to truly 'bring it' lol

    You will love P90X guaranteed but be aware it will screw up with your mind specially in the first few days:
    1. You will feel pain and soreness in many parts like you've never felt before and Tony Horton does not expect you to skip a day or two. He wants you to "push play"! lol...This is the time to find yourself googling "I am unbelievably sore should I continue P90X?"
    2. Depending on your life situation but you will have to find time to squeeze that one hour (1hr30 for Yoga!) to your everyday schedules. Some even go to the point of doing it as early as 4:30 am before work or at midnight as those are their only available times to BRING IT.
    3. Finding the Will to keep up with the P90X Nutrition Plan. It is challenging, so get things planned out and your pantry and fridge supplied.

    This will keep you motivated:
    1. Go online. Hundreds share the same challenges you wil face.
    2. Watch P90X transformation videos in Youtube. They are powerful tools to keep you motivated.
    3. Massive amounts of improved mood and confidence coming your way.

    GOOD LUCK!

    I was running and doing several different Jillian dvds before starting P90X. I feel like the JM dvds prepared me well for P90X. I'm not doing her videos much at all right now but I'm still running in addition to doing P90X. I'm starting the 2nd week of month 2.

    That's awesome! I just started yesterday. Did workout #2 today... gotta say *pace yourself* on Plyometrics. I did it once last week for "fun" and died 40 minutes in. I was trying to keep up with Tony & the gang, and just could not... no wonder, I just started! Today, I paced myself, going slower than them, not dipping so deep in the squats, etc, and was able to finish strong. I think that's more valuable than not being able to finish.... plus the last 15 minutes is a little easier and a little more fun.

    I've also done Kenpo, which was a lot of fun, and Yoga, which was a lot tougher than I expected.. really worked out my upper body... and by the end I was able to touch my toes, which is not something I've ever been able to do.

    All that was in my "fun" week last week, since I didn't have all the weights I needed to really start. Yesterday I started for real. It's hard, but Tony makes it fun, and makes it clear how to make things easier.

    yoga is painfull, but after a while I just LOVE it! yoga is very important to the program according to Tony, he urges us to not skip it, I would tell you to get it, but if you cant I would replace it with cardio X.

    Thanks everyone for the support and tips. First night went ok! We made it through the full workout, but skipped half of ab ripper because we were exhausted and didn't want to overdue it. At one point of the workout, diamond pushups I did only one! I was like whoa! Rested a second and did a few more. I never felt my arms Soooooo tight and wore out.

    We got a long way to go but were are committed so far and want to change our lives for good. Nutrition will be the biggest hill to climb to be honest.
