Pull up bar, dumbbells or tension bands and a chair.

push up bars if you like.

The whole idea is to make it simple (equipment wise). The thing is they use a variety of dumbbells (obviously) for different exercises.. Thats why I bought the select techs lol easy to switch weights.

like ppl said very intense workout, you are basically doing a workout for 60 minutes non-stop (yes there is a few water breaks here and there) but basically you are going full out

and if you've never worked out before, p90x probably isn't the program for you, you need to be quiet fit before doing it or you will die the first few workouts and never use it again

what i like about it is it lays everything out for you and you do a variety of exercises

althought the ab workout is only 15 minutes, it usually takes me twice the amount of time cause they do like 300 crunches in a row whereas i need to stop or else my midsection would explode

I wanna try it, but I can't even do chin-ups yet.

I think it's only recommended for people who are already fit.

I do the ab ripper right after the workout.

I can't do chinups either.. well I can do like 6 or 7. I substitute all chin ups with lat pulldown (wide grip and close grip) and rows.

FYI, i think there are people on Youtube showing how to do the 'ab ripper x', it really is pretty hard on the gut but I think I'm starting to notice results too (after 2 weeks). Not so much trimming down yet but its starting to take some kind of shape compared to before when it was a big 1 pack.

all the other workouts are intense...i could only handle to about 5th week...as wut other ppl said u gotta be in pretty decent shape to do this..ab ripper x...to put in perspective how bad it is...back when i was doing it last summer i had a 6 pack...i'm not a horribly strong person..and did my set of crunches pushups b4 i sleep or wake up. and of course go to the gym every other day. i got p90x n fired up the chest and back workout not too bad i thought, it was intense but i still managed my own..then when it got to ab ripper x i was drenched in sweat n from that work out..i couldn't really stand to my full height for about 2-3 days..i basically walked around like L from deathnote for a couple days..painful but it works.

Bought this on shebay for 100bux and gonna start this program once I'm back from holidays. Since i spent the money to get, rather than just downloading the program, it will kinda force me to keep doing it. Just need to find a set of dumbells and a cheap yoga mat to go along with the DIY chin-up bar in the basement. I'm in decent shape, can do about 8-10 overhand chin-ups and 30 or so push ups. I'm really looking to get toned while staying flexible for hockey, I hate that bodybuilder look.

I think the main thing is to take pics of day 1 and after every 2-4 weeks to compare. I'm pretty confident I'll see results along with eating right. I will miss beer.

You wont be able to find it at costco. They usually only sell things that have a high demand. I was able to find some at fitness depot and Sport check... usually go for around $30. (chin up bar)
