p90x and obese

i have personally not done p90x would like to. i am a beachbody coach and I have done brazil butt lift and rockin body. hope someone can answer for you. I have heard great success stories with the p90x also.

Hey, I too have done the 30 day shred. After feeling like I was ready for something else I moved on to Turbo Fire which is one of the Beach Body series DVD sets. I personally like the class room setting and the rockin music. I am not morbidly obese but did start it after doing the 30 day shred- where I lost my first 6 lbs. leaving me at 175 lbs. I felt like it was a serious challenge (very hard) but not impossible. I have also tried the insanity series and I really like it as well. Honestly, I found insanity easier than Turbo Fire. For cardio, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zumba with the right instructor. However, if you are looking for HIIT (high intensity interval training) the something from the beach body series will give you results. Just go only as hard as you can. Your hardest and best, no matter how much that is, as long as it is your hardest and best, WILL give you results! You will do amazing, do it one day at a time!

I am in Phase 2 ( 5th week) of P90X and at first I thought I was going to literally die but have pushed through it. I have not seen a huge difference in weight loss but my body is changing i.e. muscles definition in my arms & legs and in my stomach which is motivation for me since I have had two babies by way of c-section and thought that I would never see results. My favorite is Plyometrics, you move and jump alot but by the end of the session I feel great!

I started P90X, but found the workouts too long for me at this point in my life. Each workout is close to an hour - and yoga is 90 minutes. Not to deter you, as I have seen amazing results people receive with it...but the time commitment is pretty intense.

I'm a Beach body junkie myself... and I've tried Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire, Insanity, Chalean Extreme, Power 90, 10 minute trainer, currently doing Les Mills Pump. What you will like will really depend on your personality and the goals you are going for...

P90X is very possible to do when you are losing, you just need to modify it to accommodate your level of fitness.

I have P90X and I love it--but the truth is that I LOVE about 5 of the workouts and the others are more lifting than cardio. I have done them all-2 summers ago--and plan on following it this summer I believe. And when you do them all you see great results, but if you are just getting into working out I would probably suggest something else--maybe Ripped in 30, or TurboJam or something a little more fun than P90X...because if you don't enjoy it you won't stick with it....and that is the whole point! To find something you like doing and will WANT to do everday--that is how it will become your lifestyle! P90X is awesome, but it is an hour a day (at least) and I am fairly fit/athletic and find the lifting components daughnting.

I am 30 days into p90x. I was 325 when I started. I am 315 now. I have to modify a lot in the videos but it is fun. The important thing is to just keep moving. Also, I skip the yoga video. I do a 3 mile walk instead. Good Luck!

I have just started P90X. From what I have seen so far, there is nothing in the program that would prevent a morbidly obese person from completing it.

I like that the host says at least half a dozen times to rest if you need to. Hit the pause button if you need more time. He shows variations for new people.

I am going through P90 right now and have done it before, but after I run through this set I am going to be moving on to P90x. Everyone that I know that has gone through P90x has had incredible results, but they all say that it definitely isn't easy. The length of time for the P90x workouts gets a lot of people too. P90 for level 1-2 is 29 and 41 minutes for sculpt and sweat and then about 4 minutes for the ab ripper workout. I personally think it's a good gateway to get ready for P90x since it's the same trainer in both.
