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.

[Volkl]

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.

[saiko]

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

[Volkl]

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.

[MillerTime]

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.

[exrv_69]

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.

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.

[bossxx]

P90X Program.. There are actually 3 different programs you can choose for P90X. The one I have listed below is the Classic Version. There is also Lean and another one called Doubles..

The program has 3 phases which are 4 weeks each but they allow you to do any particular phase longer if you feel you need to before going to the next phase.. Each phase has a different nutrition guide as well because each phase is different.

PHASE 1

Weeks 1-3

Day 1 - Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 2 - Plyometrics
Day 3 - Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
Day 4 - Yoga X
Day 5 - Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 6 - Kenpo X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch

Week 4

Day 1 - Yoga X
Day 2 - Core Synergistics
Day 3 - Kenpo X
Day 4 - X Stretch
Day 5 - Core Synergistics
Day 6 - Yoga X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch

PHASE 2

Week 5-7

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X

Day 1: Yoga X
Day 2: Core Synergistics
Day 3: Kenpo X
Day 4: X Stretch
Day 5: Core Synergistics
Day 6: Yoga X
Day 7: Rest or X Stretch

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.

[maxxxboost]

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.

[pankrationisfun]

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

[billy0720]

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..

there's no such thing lol

[fuhkyu]

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

[hotong]

looks hard to do from the commercials

[Conan O'Brien Sex Video]

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

[racerman88]

very tough workout, called muscle confusion.

[SizzleChest]

yes, we've all seen the ads too.

[!Tigger]

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

[hamsup]

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

can you buy it locally ?

[maxxxboost]

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)

[hamsup]

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 !

[wingies]

it is fucking brutal lol. but it does work

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

[xtacy777]

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

[shawn79]

what equipment is needed for p90x?

[bossxx]

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.

[Disillusion_10]

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

[bossxx]

^ The ab ripper is insane.. My goal is to keep up with them lol

[hamsup]

um... do u need to do ab ripper ??? cuz on the program .. (spreadsheet says to do chest and back... ) so after the chest video. .do i stilll need to pop in ab ripper ?? or is that an additional workout !

[dimsum119]

u do the ab ripper three times a week, usually mon wed fri

[ecchiecchi]

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.

[bossxx]

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.

[Rebbie]

i have two buddys doing it right know. they are on the 3 ed week. they look like they lost 10 lbs or so. but i want to see the tv results form these guys befor i jump on the
p90x band wagon

[harv_08]

17min ab workout?!?! thats insane

[SiRV]

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.

[!Shuya80]

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.

[cody69]

^^^^^^

hahahah...great...

funny i cam here and found this thread.....guess what just showed up at my door on friday...lol

starting it monday....

also for people interested, i may know a "friend" with a burned set.... pm if your interested...and nothing is free...sorry

Lol! i tried this for one week...then i got lazy

i had to download the nutrition guide or calendar or somethign separately though. though i don't even use it =P

[cody69]

i know a guy selling copies of all 12 dvd's and possibly the book and nutrition guide.... pm me if interested and ill make sure you get in contact with him

[411ken]

^ lol how much?

[cody69]

pm offer

10char

[belka]

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. :(

[Conan O'Brien Sex Video]

anyone know where to get one of those chin up bars from?

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

probably costco or a fitness place or canadian tire

[Wenis]

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)

[Nismo200SX]

I bought the whole thing minus the full band set but i did get 1 band the green one which is thick as hell and has a hell of a lot of resistance. and the chin-up bar(which i found is useless to me because i dont have anywhere to mount in my house and therefore need to sell it) anyways.

the workout is seriously intense. the whole muscle confusion works great. what I started doing for awhile was doing a build up during the 1st week of the standard program.
starting with 10 reps and working upto 25 reps doing 5 more reps each week. all i can say is no matter what you do each week your going to be feeling the burn. but due to illness and injury (not from P90x) I have yet to go back on it. its a tough program but in the end I can safely say that if you've got the workout space and enough gear at home to do everything it will save you money from going to the gym.

there is also a 10 minute workout that Tony Horton does too. If someone has it them or a link that would be helpful

[Rebbie]

pm'ed you cody 69^^^

[hurk61]

yea man this shit looks in intense like im pretty sure it works because its just a work out plan that changes constantly. Its just like if u go to the gym and u do a a work out plan for month then change ur work out routine, it will do the same. Becuase ur not doing the same routine over and over again till ur muscle gets really use to it. The workout in those videos r pretty much focusing mostlly in toning

[hamsup]

i dun think the average 80% of the people in vancouver could even complete the p90X... its way too intense..

[socialenemy69]

I got my chin up bar from Wal Mart, the total gym one, so you can use it for chinups/pullups when set up in a door way. and you can put it on the ground and use it for situps and push ups.

I started the p90x program today, and it was pretty hard, I was in really good shape during the summer, but I then got bored and stopped going to the gym for the last 2 months.

[rb]

Not ready for P90X yet, the ab ripper killed me so i'm currently working on the 10-minute trainer (which is really 30-minutes to really get a decent a workout).

[4444]

you know what, 10 minute trainer is a good way to lose weight... i've done it, lost 20 lbs, but i also use weights as well (seperately)....

overall, i'm happy with the results - i just don't have the time or ability to commit to P90X, but a coworker swears by it - with the results evident to see

he's done it 3 times now in the last year, but has admitted its getting boring now...

[!Shuya80]

prob starting the 10 minute trainer first for one month...then moving on to p90x again to see how it will impact the body...see if it makes it easier to start i'll let u people know

[jakobi]

i don't even know what p90x is...judging from the responses, i think its like a tae bo program....just another scam...there are so many different types of programs and they ALL say the same thing..This program is better than that program then they'll show you fit customers that have used that program...its all an act...

there's no BEST program...just common sense when losing weight...

getting active(workout, cardio, etc) + eat less = results......

I remember the first time I came to this site with zero knowledge of fitness training...I was so hyped about getting a bowflex coz the commerical said it'll give you a "hard toned muscular body"
Now, I think bowflex is garbage...
Its easy to target people with few knowledge of fitness training

[Relyc]

P90x actually spells out an eating and working out routine for people. One that gets them in shape if they follow it. Things like the Bowflex are like what you're talking about, "get off the couch, exercise."

On top of which, P90x isn't meant for your average fatass, it's meant for people already in shape to get into much better shape.

Sorry, jakobi, you're clearly talking out of your ass on this one. Do some reading on it, or hell, download it and see for yourself.

[jakobi]

sounds like a copycat of crossfit training..



On top of which, P90x isn't meant for your average fatass, it's meant for people already in shape to get into much better shape.

[cody69]

simple, dont kncock it just because you dont know what it is.

ya, your right, basic concept, its all about getting off the couch, working hard and being commited.

that is what the program is about, its a guide for people that dont know what they are doing, it is a very good program and it helps to motivate you to do it everyday.

its a program + motivation + guide all in one. its a pretty basic idea if you think about it, but it is done well, its not a scam, it dose work.

[Conan O'Brien Sex Video]

there are a ton of before/after pictures of p90x-ers on facebook. search the group, look at the photos. i highly doubt that everyone who posted their before/after pic and on the walls are "in" on the "scam"...

[4444]

its working because people are getting their ass off the couch, starting exercising and eating less....there's no trick or short cuts in losing weight......

losing weight = get active + eat less + dedication....

your arguements are lame

this is a program that does all that, not a scam... a lot of ppl don't know how to eat/work out properly and EFFICIENTLY

this is exactly what this does, best results in the best time

I don't do the whole thing, being as I have no weights at home, but for that stuff:
The pushup bars are kind of retarded, you can use anything for a bit more elevation if you really need it.
Resistance bands and chinup bars can be found at Walmart. I got my chinup bar at the one here in Victoria for $20.

[Ch28]

Resistance bands and chinup bars can be found at Walmart. I got my chinup bar at the one here in Victoria for $20.

Yup!


Picked up a box of Bally World Fitness resistance bands from Walmart. Comes with the normal black one, a figure 8 one for your legs and another one just for your arms. $20 for all three

so do you all do this at home or at the gym?

[socialenemy69]

home... can't do it at a gym (need a tv, unless you have it memorized)

so, basically, you need hte room to do it in

you can do it at the gym by:

A) Portable DVD player or put the videos on you Ipod.

B) You can print off or Photocopy the worksheets and just follow the exercises and write down your reps and weights.

C) memorizing it like you said

D) All of the above.

[will068]

so do you all do this at home or at the gym?

gym

I have the exercises written in my book ( along with mini stick figure diagrams ).
1 minute break b/w exercises ( sneak in the water intake in those breaks ).

[411ken]

any of you guys seen results if you are doing this program?

[socialenemy69]

I just started it almost two weeks ago and you start noticing a difference within the second week. You will notice that you have a bit more strength and stamina and gradually doing more reps.

It also depends on what kind of shape you are in when you start the program. I was bulking up during the summer but then I got bored and stopped working out for about 2 months and lost about 10 pounds of muscle. It was really hard at first doing the pull ups and chinups and Im still working hard on getting those numbers up, but pullups have to be the hardest exercise there is in the program.

[4444]

any of you guys seen results if you are doing this program?

this is hte last time this question will be asked

YES, YES, and YES!!!!!! fuck yes, you see results, but its fucking hard work, FUCKING HARD WORK

no pain, no gain

lots of pain (p90x), lots of gain

[Ch28]

ab ripper x just killed my stomach

thanks tony :cry:

[socialenemy69]

I just finished Legs and Back a half hour ago and couldnt even begin Ab Ripper x. gonna do it tomorrow before work.

[will068]

any of you guys seen results if you are doing this program?

YES :thumbsup:

This is coming from a guy who's been a varsity athlete in HS and college. Maybe because I never did cross fit training before, but the intensity of the work out is different - on a positive note.

FYI, I don't even do the Yoga, Kempo, and plyo ( my bball days are done a long time ago :cry:)

I just finished Day 60. At this point - I still have trouble doing cross legged reaches ( ab work out ) for 25 reps after the other sequence of the ab work out. :D

After Day 90, I would stick with my normal gym routine for 4 months ( with changes to the exercise every 4 weeks ) then go back to this again.

[bossxx]

P90x = Xtreme Pain for 90 days.

[411ken]

this is hte last time this question will be asked

bit of a dumb question, really, wasn't it, given this thread is now 3 pages long

^ I just skimmed through them as I didn't have time to read all of it and what I've read is they know someone using it, seen it on facebook or whatever. I was asking personal results.

Next time, if you are going to be a jackass or "hardcore" about your answer, please keep it to yourself and let someone else like Will068 answer.

[hamsup]

has anyone tried their ten minute trainer ??? the less hardcore version i guess..

[Ch28]

has anyone tried their ten minute trainer ??? the less hardcore version i guess..

Haven't tried it but would love to

[rb]

I'm on the ten minute trainer right now. Its not really 10 minutes as you need to do 3 10-minute video's in one session as per the chart for a more intense workout. I've ditched the band on some workouts for dumbells now and its going pretty good. I highly suggest this for people who can't keep up with P90x.

[hamsup]

oh really ?? what do you mean you ahve to do three 10 minute sessions in a row ??? i was going to do this ten minute trainer each morning.. and then at night. hit the gym as usual !!!

[rb]

Like P90,10-minute trainer is a series of video's. One 10-minute video for Cardio, Total Body, Lower Body, etc. You can perform one each day or more for accelerated results. 10-minute trainer is geared more for older people and women so a single 10-minute workout may feel like a long warm up for some. You dont have to do 3. I do 3 b/c my fitness level isn't that bad but not quite at the P90x level.

Here's part of the chart,

[caronimo]

the ab ripper workout is killer.

[beanzzz]

i just bought a copy of P90X off of eBay, i was planning on downloading it but figured if i spent money on it, i would be more determined to do it.

[411ken]

I think imma start off with the 10 minute trainer.. has anyone seen these for sale locally? and how much? if not, i'll purchase it online somewhere.

TIA

[Ch28]

Cardio X is actually pretty good. It starts off pretty slow with yoga and stretching but picks up pretty well at the 1/2 way mark.

[JLC]

has anyone here actually followed the nutrition plan for the P90x? Naturally having a strict diet plan is key to any workout regime if you want great results...So I'm thinkin about following this one to see how it works..

however, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding it lol...anyone familiar with it or has done it?

[Relyc]

I haven't done it, but I've familiarized myself with it so I can do it soon. What are you having trouble with? Feel free to PM me.

[!Aznboi128]

I think imma start off with the 10 minute trainer.. has anyone seen these for sale locally? and how much? if not, i'll purchase it online somewhere.

that as seen on tv store in metro for 100 bucks

[chr1s]

i'm thinking of buying it, but i make too little to spend 100+ on it. otoh, if i download it..it would take me forever .. i think i will download it lol

[bossxx]

Ab ripper is pretty intense.. begin by doing it without your shoes on. Then when you get stronger, put the shoes back on haha.

[In_MODeration]

where can you buy a pull up bar?

[abinga]

Pull up bars can be purchased at fitness depot, fitness town, walmart, zellers... and so on. P90x is also available at fitness town for purchase now.

[socialenemy69]

Wal Mart has P90x as well, $119. They also have a good chin up bar. Dont get their Bally's exercise bands, they suck.

[GTO-demon]

P90x is awesome!
i've been on the p90x for the past 53 days, one more week until i finish my first 60 days.
at first i couldn't do more than 6 chin ups or pull ups, or anything more than 20 standard push ups, military push ups and wide push ups on bars, after pushing myself everyday, following the diet plan and scheduling i can do around 30-35 push ups per set on bars, and about 15 chin ups per set. and i feel great!
you really have to focus on the diet, scheduling, and really have to push yourself. It will pay off in the end.
i will post pictures from day 0 to 90. after i finish the program.

[shawn79]

how do u people have a chin up bar in front of the tv??!?!

Wal Mart has P90x as well, $119. They also have a good chin up bar. Dont get their Bally's exercise bands, they suck.

$89.99 @ amazon.ca + free shipping + $10 off for new accounts using the coupon code MAPNEWNCSAVE

how do u people have a chin up bar in front of the tv??!?!
haha.. i dont know... maybe their chin up bars inside in huge walk in closet, and have a door just big enough for a chin up bar :p

[Richmond69er]

forgive me for bumping up an old thread!

but a quick question to people who are/have done this....
is it a workout that strictly has to be done at home?
or could i load it all up on my iphone or whatever and bring it to the gym with me and do it there?

im not sure if its the kind of workout where its GO GO GO all in one spot doing different things!? (ive never seen the videos...)

also i read that fitness town is the only local place to get this instead of ordering online... true?

you'll need a decent amount of space to do most of the exercises, so if you've got a studio or stretch area at your gym, you'll be ok. the other thing that might keep you at home is that the exercises are quite unorthodox so you'll probably get a lot of eyes watching you at the gym.

gonna feel wierd not going to the gym lol. im heading over to fitness town tmrw and buying it.

[Richmond69er]

london drugs hAs it for 99$ til the end of the month!

cheers

[wyattH]

thinking about trying this.. will read up more..

60min x 6 days is not that bad...

[red_2]

does this actually work?

[Richmond69er]

does this actually work?

negative... all the hardwork is useless it actually makes you fatter :p

[Anurag]

hey guys, im pretty overweight, but i play soccer here and there, and i did the first week of p90x pretty half assed, but i have the dedication to continue doing it properly and eating healthy. do you guys think i should continue the P90x workout? or maybe try burning off a few pounds first and then maybe start on it? or should i continue the workout and do some cardio after, for example run 4-6 laps around a track??

[BoneThug]

finish it. whatever your brain has made as an excuse not to; ignore it and just keep on your program.

[abinga]

The program should cover all necessary aspects for your goals. IMO, it is not for beginners. Throw in as much dedication and heart to staying on the program/eating properly and you wont need to run laps. If you want the extra cardio then use the cardio X minimum of 4 times a week.

Workout smarter not harder :)

[Anurag]

^ thanks for the reply, but as you said its not for beginners, and clearly i am a beginner it is the first workout routine i have decided to follow and only physical activity i get b/c i play soccer maybe once a week with a few friends. also i am overweight, so do you guys think by doing P90x properly i'll slim down a bit?

[Richmond69er]

yeah youll slim down.
any exercise is better then NO exercise!

keep at it!

[abinga]

^ I agree, You will slim down because the program will make you work hard. Just make sure you are following the nutrition plan 100%. Your metabolism will speed up and help you burn even more.

[Richmond69er]

you dont even have to follow the nutrition plan 100%.
since ur new to working out and whatnot its prolly going to be harder for you to stick to working out AND a strict strict diet plan. just continue with the videos and eat moderately be a little more aware of what your putting into your body and i guarentee you will see results in body transformation as well as being able to keep up and play soccer and a faster pace then what ur use to now!

[Durrann1984]

how much is it at metro "as soon on tv" store?

I agree, you'll definitely feel better....I myself is going for "Size" so I'm not doing a lot of reps as they do but just use heavier weights. It's good shit and you feel it the next day.. If not, you are doing it wrong hehehe..

As they say, pace yourself and not go all out.. otherwise you might end up hurting yourself.

[_kiko_]

Awesome, Im on my second week and I can already see improvements. mentally and physically.

[Anurag]

i havent really looked at the nutrition plan, but i definietly have a good diet going, but i will loook at it later on today hopefully, also should i be taking a protein shake before/after the workout? or will it be bad for me because of my weight, lol :S

[Gtrr33]

i have a personal exprience with p90x. the result was great. you can download the program online for free. my buddy gave me a copy. and it was awesome!!!

[bossxx]

Just did shoulder and arm workout.

my fav out of all of them :D

edit: deep swimmers press ftw

[socialenemy69]

I downloaded the program to try it back in October and after a month or so, I injured my shoulder and then became sick so I stopped working out. It was working good, but I wasnt eating properly so I was just bulking up.

Now I Purchased the DVDs from Wal mart about 4 weeks ago and have been following the nutrition plan and damn am I ever seeing results. Lost approximately 8 pounds in the first two weeks, and I keep losing fat and gaining lean muscle.

The program works exactly as advertised if you follow the nutrition plan.
Cant wait to start Phase 2 next week and get my ass kicked all over again.

[Berzerker]

How detailed is the nutrition plan? Do they have you eating 6 meals a day? Working on the road I find it hard as hell to eat right... I have no time during the day to eat so I usually have a big breakfast and then a big dinner and another meal after working out. I need to get myself some meal supplements :(

Berz out.

[darkness]

I have only used the ab ripper program and its pretty intense. We'll have to wait to see what happens in two more months. Commitment is a big part of any program as long as you can stay in it you will see results.

[Durrann1984]

man i know diet..is big part but cant resist those hamburgers haha

[Durrann1984]

once a day cheat day is ok? ne 1 of u guys follow that rule? LOL once a week. cheat.

[Ch28]

man i know diet..is big part but cant resist those hamburgers haha

Don't cheat.

Eat clean and you'll notice it after a week for sure.

Berz out.
Yeah they give you a whole meal plan for 7 days, I have pretty much narrowed it down to this as being my most consistent meals I eat:

breakfast - 8 egg whites + 1 whole egg scrambled with 2 slices of Turkey bacon, or protein shake and banana and apple.
snack - protein shake and protein bar
Lunch - usually 6 inch subway sandwich or a chicken salad, or tuna salad.
Snack - protein bar or maybe a vector bar, or tuna snack packs.
Dinner - Salmon with Wild rice, chicken with baked potato, usually with garden salad.
Just before bed - one cup of cottage cheese.

As far as eating healthy on the road. there is always a Subway around or grocery store where you can get chicken and garden salads for lunch or a healthy sub. If you crave burgers go to A&W and get the Grilled chicken Deluxe burger with side salad and Italian dressing. In my office I have lots of Protein bars and tuna snack packs that I have and I will usually bring in my shaker cup with my protein powder.

[411ken]

I'm on this but since my goal is to get size, I still cheat =) haha...I can't see myself losing too much weight and be skinny..doesn't suit me as i am pretty tall.

[Nvasion]

just started doing it... its tough... arms were sore for a wihle lol. is there a place to dl the diet plan? cuz my video doesnt have 1

[waddy41]

Question: Will the chin up bar damage the door frame? How do you know that it won't rip the door frame out?

[Armind]

Hmm i'm giving this a try soon :D

[RayBot]

Question: Will the chin up bar damage the door frame? How do you know that it won't rip the door frame out?

Shouldn't damage the door frame at all. If its properly installed, it should be completely adjacent to the stud supports of the door frame.

If its not installed properly, as in not 100% horizontal, the bar will fall straight down and you'll fall on your feet...so no harm there.

[Armind]

Damn it, Chapters has it on their site, but not for delivery. If it was, then my Chapter gift card that I got could be useful after since there's not much that interests me there lol. Downloading it right now as we speak :D 18%

[sdubfid]

I'm on day 3 after starting monday. Never been this sore in my life. Following the nutrition plan exactly and I chose quick and easy foods to make. Its easier because everything is spelled out for you. I highly recommend it if you can commit.

[iPee]

ab ripper program reminds me of muay thai training

I think I'll start it tomorrow bye bye to burger and beers :(

[taco]

*Edited*

[blkgsr]

once you download....how the hell do you burn it to watch it on your DVD player???

i've never burnt dvd's to watch on my player, just at memory back up

[mugentsx]

anyone want to post results?

[aznhustler]

I recommend P90X you get results but you really need to be committed to the workouts

[Hondaracer]

the P90x facebook group before and after photos really arent all that encouraging lol

imo P90X is great if your commited to it everyday, and you have a reasonably physique already, otherwise if your overweight etc. i think your better off spending the hour a day doing intense cardio [and yes i know P90 has cardio]

a couple of my friends are doing it right now fairly commited and im going strictly cardio training so we'll see in a bit who's seeing results :)

[Warp9Racing]

just outta curiosity what kind of equipment do you need to get started?

i've just begun working out the last month, do you think this is a program for me? or should i spend a bit more weeks at the gym before moving on to this program?
i heard you should already be in semi decent shape before doing p90x

[sdubfid]

You need a chin-up bar, a chair and some weights or reistance bands. Pretty simple stuff. I've been going for ~20 days straight now. Eating the same thing everyday except for my birthday which I had 3 beers.

Phase 1 is high protein. I'm at 2100-2400calories/day Roughly 50% protein 30% carbs and 20% fat. I haven't cheated on my diet at all except for the above mentioned beer. I've been having eggbeaters, tuna, skim milk, chicken breast, apple, whole wheat tortilla, lettuce, banana, spinach, carrots, whey protein, lots of water.

I haven't missed one workout. You are allowed 1 day of rest each week so I have used 2 of those in my 3 weeks. The 4th week is a recovery week with no heavy weights.

So far I have lost maybe 1-2lbs but dropped ~3% bodyfat in the past 3 weeks. From what I have been reading the biggest changes happen during the 2nd and 3rd phases so I can't wait.

So far I'm pleased with the results though. I did not workout in the past 4 or 5 months before starting this program so I was really out of shape. I just said I can do it and started doing it everyday, I've only been at it 3 weeks but its all in your head. You will be sore at first and not completing all the moves but just keep at it.

[killyourparents]

how much space is needed to do this? how many sets and how heavy weights are needed?

i live in a condo and am concerned about noise for tenants downstairs. is there a lot of jumping and stuff?

[Timpo]

so P90X is just like Billy's Boot Camp DVD?

[sdubfid]

so P90X is just like Billy's Boot Camp DVD?

I just had a quick look at billys boot camp. It looks to me more cardio oriented and a lot more girls to look at on the tv. You can also watch all of it on youtube.

P90x has resistance training 3 days a week and 12 different hour long workouts. Similar idea I guess in that you both watch them on tv.

I'm on day 39 of p90x now. Haven't missed one workout and take 1 rest day a week. Not one cheat meal in 39 days so something is working. Doing this makes me realize just how out of shape I was. Not seeing crazy visual results so far but I'm down ~5% bodyfat and ~8lbs and lost inches in some spots and seen big increases in endurance and strength relative to what I started at.

51 days to go.

[MWR34]

anyone can email me or PM me the nutritional guide? I have the videos, and Excel workout plan. but not the nutritional walkthrough.

[6thGear.]

My buddy burnt me a copy and I tried a bit of kenpo tonight. I felt the burn in like 10 mins. Was prob really only like 5..:haha: I can definitely tell this is gonna be an intense program. Don't really have the nutrition plan though. But this is gonna be tough on me since I play on 2 hockey teams this summer, started to go back to the gym again, and with my non-office job, p90x is gonna be killer on me. haha.

[Timpo]

ok so i guess it really works

i might try it if i ever feel like it

sounds like it is more promising than billy's boot camp

[FlyNvBaller]

im on DAY 24, i've always been athletic but i've usually let my skills help me get by.
anyways first week was brutal, soo fuking intense, but after that, doing the moves every week and repeating it, it gets easier in some aspect but still tiring as hell.
I can see my arms taking shape already, some muscles are showing which i havent had before. My legs i know are changing too as when i play hockey, i'm not getting tired at all. as for my abs, i believe that's one of the last thing to disappear after the fat on ur arms and everywhere else goes first?? but i could lready fit into some of my tight shirts lol.
as for nutrition plan, i do my own plan, definitely more self conscience about what i eat but yes i do cheat, bbt here and there, alcohol, i eat my mom's cooking (pho, etc). but definitely lots of protein bars n shakes and fruits n vegables.

[SizzleChest]

there is a p90x+ program out now as well. reviews aren't as high as p90x though.

[6thGear.]

I'm only on disc 2 and I've lost 2 lbs already. Didn't do it on consecutive days nor am I following the diet plan. haha. I guess it works, even though losing weight isn't what I want to do really, but I sure as hell sweated like there was no tmrw.

[StylinCobra]

I just finished week 3 of this program and I love it. Not much weight loss ~3 lbs but large difference in inches already. Ab Ripper X 3x a week is just hell.

[Meowjin]

p90x lol

I saved xxx amount of dollars, and just used common sense.

[waddy41]

it's not just about common sense...it's about following the program
the program is also a motivational tool....

[ninja_bart]

anyone working out for 3 months straight will see results if they noe wut there doing. P90x is basically for noobs that are just starting to work out or people who cant go to the gym.

[sdubfid]

my first round of p90x will be done july 13. So far lost just about 20lbs since mid april.

Yes it is common sense, eat less and move more. There is just a lot of variety in the program and the best part is it spells it out for you. Anything that gets you moving and wathicng what you eat will work. I'm happy with it so far and thats all that matters.

[jeff19]

its prolly already been answered, but where can i purchase the p90x locally? also, is this is a good idea for someone with a leaner body looking to GAIN muscle weight (instead of losing)? all the results im hearing so far is ppl losing fat/weight.

[ScizzMoney]

Wal Marts have p90x for sale, in the fitness section.

download it..why would u pay for it. If your looking to gain just eat more and lift more. Everyone on here is probably using p90x to lean out there body to be more cut.

[sdubfid]

Update: Finished my p90x first 90 days on saturday. Started at 185 22% bodyfat april 13 on sat july 11 i was 165 at 17% bodyfat. So I lost 20lbs and about 5% bodyfat even with beer and unhealthy choices once in awhile. Will be taking a week and a bit off and then start up round two.

Round 2 goals, maintain/increase weight and reduce bodyfat.

Congrats! and good job! may I ask how tall you are? 165 is pretty light..

other than that.. keep up the good work..

[sdubfid]

I am 5'10". I know it is light. I'm still really weak but way stronger than when I started. I will be increasing my intake on my 2nd round to try and add some weight.

When I started I could barely do a chinup and now I can do 8-10. Pushups are at about 30 up from 15.

If anyone is overweight I suggest giving it a try. I recommended it to a friend and she has been doing it for 8 days now and has lost 8lbs and 19" from her arms, legs, hips and chest combined. I couldn't beleive it in just 1 week.

Has anybody else had positive/negative results from trying it?

i'm like 190 and at your height so i really wanna give it a try

isnt it bad losing 8lbs in one week? i heard losing 3 lbs in a week is healthy

so did you purchase p90x?

[iEatClams]

I bought the program couple months back along with my new TV system that I put in the basement.

I consider myself in pretty good shape already when I started but still got owned by this when I first started. I think the pace that they do it was pretty intense, I found myself taking a lot of breaks.

Been doing it for 2 months and then stopped recently because life got too busy with work and other stuff and just doing basic cardio and hitting the gym once in awhile.
I don't do any of that stretching, and yoga etc stuff inbetween the workouts and don't follow the nutrition guide. I eat what I want so I guess my results can be a lot better if I did that.



Things I loved about the program:

- It's a VERY EFFICIENT workout. You get the maximum among of work in the minimal among of time.
- Very good for toning, good for the Brad Pitt in fight club look and not the meathead bodybuilder look.
- Awesome abs program.

Things I didn't like:

- Leg workouts were lacking some things. I think you still need to incorporate squads and deadlifts once in awhile.
- If you do this for a year - I can see myself getting bored. I guess you gotta do it for 90 days, then stop and do regular workouts for 6 months or so and then go back to another 90 day again.

Would I recommend it to my friends and family?

Yes, recommended it to my brother and some friends.
My brother is currently doing it and he had awesome results.
Friends are really out of shape so they really struggled the first 2-3 weeks, but now they seem to be getting the hang of it.

[unidentified]

I did Lean P90X for about a month and a half. I lost a few pounds within the first week and a half and since then I've noticed a difference in my arms, stomach, and legs. I am trying to get back on it but I am feel so lazy. It definitely delivers great results if you stick with it. It's not easy but it offers a lot of variety which I prefer over the regular gym routines I used to do.

[winson604]

London Drugs also sells it as well. Personally Id just download it haha. I just grabbed it recently and checked out the ab work out and thought the program was pretty good. Will get into it later.

[still_fly]

i did this for 50 days so only p50 for me cuz i injured my wrist doing the flying off the ground push ups...started at 160 now down to 145 and pretty ripped....i was already pretty toned before but wanted to get super ripped for summer lol...no i look smaller but more ripped!....im 5'10 btw ....

over all..this program does work!

[Beilei]

Where can I purchase this locally????

[RayBot]

Where can I purchase this locally????

Go to craigslist....theres a guy on there thats actually a distributor for P90x. He sells authentic copies, still sealed for $65. He also sells the Beachbody chin up bar too for cheap. His name is Rav; good guy to deal with.

The Ab Ripper X is actually a killer Ab workout!

Thanks!

I'm still going to the gym to get bulky before going into this workout program.

[staysupreme]

Lol! i tried this for one week...then i got lazy

LOL me too, did it for like 2 weeks got lazy as hell.

BUT the thing works if you work. Plyo x will murder your legs

[shawn79]

is it possible to still get rip by just doing the weight training and not cardio x yogo kenpo x strech? Since im already 10%bf

[Hondaracer]

ok so i'm considering doing P90X but i want to do it with dumbells..

is there a certain weight they recomend or do u have to go by what u can lift?

[shawn79]

^
5lb-20lb for beginners and fit people, 25lb-30lb if u can do it over 12 reps
in the video the heaviest dumbell they used were 25 and 30's for Alternating shoulder press.

Id say the weight training part is easy to follow through but its intense, gets me sweaty afterwards lol.
Just expect to say "ahhh fuck" every set u finish :thumbsup:

[sdubfid]

I ended up buying those quick switch dumbells from 5-50lbs. So much better than normal dumbells. Once you try them you will never go back. When I started I was doing 30lbs on some of the back exercises but now I'm at 50lbs so need to buy they add on package to make the dumbells heavier.

[CRS]

Anyone buy one from CL?

Or is anyone selling their copy of it?

Let me know the details! looking to buy the system myself...

[hal0g0dv2]

anyone use p90x's peak recovery formula drink? how is it in terms of "helping you recovery faster in terms of soreness"?

just stretch at the end of your workout if u r worried about getting sore

[johny]

where is the best place to buy this now?

I didn't see it at walmart. not on the walmart website or london drugs website. this weeks can tire catalog has it but at $130 or 140.

craiglist adds just seem sketchy

[bimmer91]

Fitness Town sells them^

I'll probably be picking one up tomorrow.

I know a few people who are on this program currently and they all say they are lossing weight like expected... if you're motivated it does deliver for sure.

Actually, there is this one guy that continuously posts on Craigslists that sells authentic copies at his costs. Hes a very good guy to deal with.....If i still had his number on me, i would PM it to you. So yeah, the day i messaged him, he responded within an hour and we did the transaction smoothly.

So yeah....check it out! 60 bucks is what i paid for the dvds, authentic copies, brand new and sealed.

[johny]

just bought one off ebay for $69 can with free shipping from Que. lots on there. beats having to leave the house to meet some stranger to save $9.

[bcedhk]

just dl'd my copy, took me a day :)

gonna start when exams are done.

[Beilei]

you should be almost done! how are you doing with it?




Anyone know where I can buy the P90x recovery drink locally?

[JSilver]

Ab Ripper X is awesome.

[hchang]

A couple of my buddies and I got together a while back and decided to all do this after hearing these other people doing it and getting amazing results.

It's definitely not a workout that beginners can just jump into doing, I've been working out for a year and started this program, and have found it challenging. I never used to work my abs, and when I tried the Ab Ripper program in the P90x my stomach area hurt for a week, therefore imagine your whole body aching if you're just jumping in as a beginner.

About two weeks ago I sprained my wrist and is unable to continue, but till then I have gotten decent results.
I agree that it's an amazing program if you have the mindset to do it.

[!KiD]

i only do the ab ripper X and it works hella well

[one6o4]

Yeah, as everyone said it's not really for beginners. I did it for about 5 weeks before I gave up. I gained about 7 pds of muscle since I used major whey protein / weight gainers, and I did no cardio at all, since I'm skinny. So I did modify the program a bit. I also ate like a fucking monster.

It's a very intense workout, the abs workout is really killer, and if you're starting workout with just p90x, you might not be able to finish even 5 minutes of it.

You have to be very motivated, get up everyday, sore, and be ready to jump back into it. I got pretty amazing results in just 5 weeks, now thinking about it, imagine what 90 days of this insanity would do for you.

If you're motivated and looking to get fit, lean, or gain muscle mass, P90X is a great program. I know it was for me!

[blkgsr]

what are you guys doing for equipemtn?

chin up bar?
resistance bands or free wights?
yoga mat

anything else?

me and my gf are going to start doing this, so i'd like free weights, and maybe reistance bands for her?

[bloodmack]

I know its a year old thread but I started this program a week and a half ago @254lbs 27% body fat. At first it was hard as hell but now that I know what to expect I am doing much better on the 2nd week. I've done ab ripper 5 times now and its intense theres a total of 339 reps and so far I can do 262/339 (at the beginning i only did 59). Unless your some huge mother fucker you should be able to do what they do, but, don't expect to do as many reps as they do. Tony Horton mentions many times that you will get better and better every time you do it again. Has anyone here completed it and got good results?

I thought I would bump this thread since I started it last Monday. WOW what a work out its been and my whole body has been beyond sore the past 3 days and it's great. Eating healthy and I'm going all out. I used to be 190 7% but that was 12yrs ago and now I'm 260 who knows what % I'm at right now.

I haven't felt this burn in a long time and I honestly love it. Give's me a lot more motivation that it's working to get into the shape I need and want. Going to Phoneix end of July so Hopefully I will loose some good weight for that trip and just go hard when I get back. The thing I like about it is you can do it at home on your own and you don't have to go to a gym and have annoying people piss ya off. I way always huge into cardio and never big into weights at all.

Where's the best place to get the bands from? Ya I haven't been using them but I have been doing all of the motions which is still a bit of a workout since I haven't done all that much in quite a while.

i got mine from fitness depot (or something like that ) on bridgeport, richmond. i couldn't find any other places that had bands with enough resistance

There is Fitness Town in the same plaza as the Superstore on King George and 76th Ave.

Thanks, I've been looking on ebay and seems like u can get a set of 5 for $20 shipped or so. Do u guys think that would be a good idea or are those ones just junk?

I would recommend RESISTANCE BANDS | STRONGEST | by Bodylastics (http://www.bodylastics.com), I bought a set of Everlast Resistance Bands from eBay, then again from Walmart and they both ended up snapping after a couple weeks. I've had my Bodylastic one's a good two years and there's no sigh of wear.

[murd0c]

dammit you can't order them online right now for some reason.

Bands from Black Mountain Products (Resistance Bands and Doorway Chin Up Bars by Black Mountain Products (http://blackmountainproducts.com/)) also seem to be popular according to amazon.com.

So I've been reading through some of the comments (not all) and most people are saying the program works well, they lost a lot of weight ect.
I'm trying to get bigger, is p90 for me? I did the first day workout today and barely finished it. I REALLY like this program, feel like it's at my pace, but I've been 145lbs for the past 3 years, will this make me lose weight? stay the same? gain muscle weight? Lol thanks in advance

[chickenugget69]

oh and i'm not really following the nutrition plan (i don't have it).. i torrented the files :$
but i'm consuming lots of protein (enough for my body weight). I know usually gaining mass is like less reps, big weights.. but the p90 workouts dont look like that so that 's why i'm wondering if this program will make me gain any weight at all
I think I'll still do the 90 days regardless because it's good
