P90X - Workout program

CrazyKell · 01-13-2009, 05:07 PM

Anyone ever done this before?

A friend has the DVD's and said she'd give them to me.

Since I can't seem to bring myself to run outside this winter (seriously -25 right now and that's just too damn cold for me!

) I wanted to try something indoors.

I've ordered some Jillian Michaels DVD's but thought I'd give this a try too.

Know anyone who as done it? Experiences?

My friend Debbie does it and is ADDICTED to it. Seriously. LOOOOOOVES it. And she has a killer body, so obviously it works.

FJRchick bought it and loaned it to me some time ago, but I'm too terrified to try it yet. There's a pre-cursor program called Slim in 6 (it's a 6 week long program) that is also good, but not nearly as intensive.

From what Debbie says about P90X, you've got to ALREADY be pretty athletic/in good shape before attempting P90X - it's not for couch potatoes to suddenly get in shape. It's for people who're already in shape to refine and get in even more ripped shape. It's about an hour a day, and it DOES hurt, but again, the results make it worth it. Also, the sheer variety of types of workouts (there's 12 DVD's, plus a "watch this first" intro) keeps you from getting bored with it.

If you like, I can PM you her email address (she's a member here -- R1chica -- but never posts) so you can ask her more specifics.

I have a buddy in Colorado who is doing it and the changes are pretty dramatic. He had really let himself go and he's relatively buff now. I was considering doing it but I think it requires stuff that's too hard on my knees but I might check it out anyway.

My wife and I did it for about a month. The Christmas and working all night plowing screwed us up. But we are going to get back into it. We love it. It is an hour a night. One night is just over an hour. You should give it a try.

I downloaded it... Torrents rule.

It's already been said, but it's not for people who are out of shape. From what I understand if you aren't already in good shape, you should start with another program (like the precursor - Power 90). I passed the physical fitness test for P90X readily, but then started browsing through the different videos and realized there's no way could keep up with a lot of the workouts.
