P90x
 

It's all over the infomercials at night. It seems like they give amazing results in just 90 days.

Does anyone use this home fitness training?

Discuss please.

I've seen the infomercial as well and it looks promising. Then again, it's pretty hardcore: 6 workouts a week, ~60 mins per workout with varying workouts. If you did any sort of varying workout which shocks your muscles for 3 months, you will see results. You will need a chin-up bar for your door frame.

That's all you need to consider.

Oh wow. That's intense, I had no clue it was 6 workouts a week ~ 60 mins.

I thought it was a magical work-out plan 5 minutes a day, 3 days a week thing. haha..

It's called crack


HAHAHA

Yep, no shortcuts unless you use crack. :)
The P90X is not for beginners either, you have to have a certain level of fitness before you start it.

fyi, if you do any kind of downloading of movies etc, you can find the entire program online at mininova for download. its huge, about 8gb but if you plan on doing it, you can burn them all to dvd and it even comes with the calendars and worksheets. I downloaded it tosee what the workouts look like. pretty hardcore as everyone said. Oh if you download it for free, youll be missing out on the supplements etc. but just to try out it might be worth it to download if youre that interested. I deleted it after watching 2 workouts.

some people call the program garbage but i have checked the message boards and the results are really amazing. if u stick with the program.
here's a sample. A great inspiration if u want to try it.

tried it for 2 months. But can't follow the nutrition guide part of it. got good results though. Lost almost 35 lbs. and gained some muscles.
got to be commited if you really are serious.

35 pounds in 2 months? that's not healthy to lose that much weight that fast. i especially find this hard to believe if you weren't following a diet plan.

i have heard that P90X is a good program though if you can stay motivated to follow it.

It is generally a high intensity work out only 3-4 days per week. The "filler" days are Yoga, Plyometrics, and Kenpo which some may find just as intense.

The Ab Ripper X is 15 minutes of abdominal destruction.

Dedication and Discipline!!!!!!!

If you can stick with it, it will work.
But it is no differnt than going to a gym and working hard.

The only thing i see from this program is that everything is layed out for you.
But then again, if you were working out at a gym, you create your own layout.

Its not unlike bootcamp which i did a 4 week session only 5 days a week. you get results (endurance, weight loss, strength) because you stay diciplined and GO

there's no such thing lol

my brother is doing it right now lol, he said its fucking intense but hes enjoying it so far

looks hard to do from the commercials

i did it for 2 weeks and lost 2 pounds each week. then i stopped :( gotta get back into it... feels great

very tough workout, called muscle confusion.

yes, we've all seen the ads too.

P90 = HARD as hell i did it forawhile , i gotta start again its one hell of a workout its awesome plyometrics.. i hate that shiet

anyone have a link for the infomercial ??? i want to watch it !!

can you buy it locally ?

You can Download everything off the internet, but i don't have the link.

You can also purchase the full dvd set at Metrotown at *As Seen on TV* or something by the Bay (Level 2/ Foodcourt Area)

coool.. i just searched pirate bay.. and its there.. i am goign to check it out later on ! =)

i think it would probably take a week to download.. lol !

it is fucking brutal lol. but it does work

As Tony Horton says: "I hate it, BUT I LOVE IT" hahahhaha

haha ive done it a months and a few more days then i just stopped

its good got me toned but if you are looking to bulk up in size, other work out programs better for that aspect
