P90x

[ArkansasFan24]

Anyone tried this workout system? I've been on it for a week now, and I've got to say it's fun. It brings in a lot of unique things that I haven't seen or done before so some of it is trying.

If you're not familiar with it the program is a set of DVDs with well explained workouts, and each day brings about a new DVD. You then rotate the DVDs based on a given schedule as well as your progress with the program. There are different DVDs for all the major muscle groups, cardio, kempo, yoga, and plyometrics. Mine came with a nutrtion guide although I'm not trying to lose anything. The whole program is 90 days in length but also designed for continuing work as well.

I'm in pretty good shape, but this has its challenges. So far the easiest for me has been shoulders and arms if easy is even an applicable word. Plyometrics was the hardest. I just haven't moved like that since I was in school.

I come here a lot. I know the game.

Really? I just did the same thing, because I didn't believe you and got 2 of the threads listed above on the first page. Then I did the same search only on the health and fitness forum and got even more.

Its fine if you forgot to do a search or something, but dont say that you did it and nothing came up.

Yep, I did it sitting in my office last night. Nothing relevant to P90X returned as a result. I did it again and low and behold it returned this thread that I started.

Yeah, this thread was the first on the list, probably since it is the most recent one with activity.
But, if you look at the search results, as I said above, 2 of the 3 threads that marcusindc listed are right there on the first page.

hmm... your search function is broken.

It's cool though, it happens.

Either way, the program is great and has been used by numerous members. Good luck on the program and keep us updated on your results.

Well, my searcher didn't pull those up for me. No biggie. It's not relevant anyway. I was just commenting because I thought the program seemed fun and rewarding.

Enjoy.

quick question about P90X, is it all done with body weight or do you need gym equipment??

Have you seen the infomercials? They say plenty of times what is required. Have you done a search on this forum? The answer has been listed there more than once as well. Checked out the beachbody.com forums/website? Answer is there also.

At a minimum, you need at least a set of dumbbells (preferably several dumbbells or a good fast adjustable set) and something to do pullups from. OR you can substitute both of those with a set (or more) of resistance bands. Again, this is the minimum. There is more optional equipment.

No benches, barbells, etc needed.

i've actually never seen the infomercials, i only watch ones that involve coke head spokesmen...

anyways i was just thinking of trying it out with the missus but we really don't have any home gym stuff so was just wondering what we needed.

Stuff needed:

P90x kit.....all DVD's and nutrition guide
Pullup Bar
Weight Bands or Dumbells

you can get a really good set of bands off of ebay for like 40 bucks that make like 80lbs of resistance.
