The P90X Workout

This post may seem a little boring as compared to some of my other musings, but it’s here more for you to be able to see what’s in this crazy, life changing, body sculpting workout routine.

P90X DVDs and BooksOut of the box you get…

  • 12 DVD’s, Chest & Back, Plyometrics, Shoulders & Arms, Yoga, Legs & Back, Kenpo, Stretch, Core Synergistics, Chest Shoulders & Triceps, Back & Biceps, Cardio, Ab Ripper X
  • 3 Phase Nutrition Plan
  • Fitness Guide
  • How to bring it video
  • Workout Calendar
  • Online Support

Choose one three different intensity levels from Lean, Classic or Doubles.

It’s 90 days of workouts varying from resistance to cardio.  Stretching and flexibility routines are also thrown in for good measure along with a fantastic AB program t o give you those rock hard abs.

Tony’s concept of muscle confusion accelerates your results by constantly introducing new routines so your body never plateaus.  The first month you do 3 weeks of exercise and the last week is reserved for recovery doing cardio.  The second month is a whole new set of workouts setup similar to the 3 week and 1 week as the first month.  The last month is a mixture of the first two.  Believe me, you will see results.

I’ve done several rounds of P90X and I still love watching and workout to these DVD’s, listening to Tony and being encouraged and laughing at some of his comments as he leads me through each routine.  I know you’ll love it as much as I have.

Is P90X Too Hard?

Well…  life is too hard at times but we don’t quit do we?  When you were a baby learning to walk did you fall down?  Did you say to yourself, “hey this walking thing is too hard, I’m just going to stay crawling around on this floor”.  Baby WalkingNo you didn’t say it because you couldn’t talk silly.  No really, mentally you didn’t stay down.  You got right back up until it became easier and a way of life to you.  When was the last time you called it quits and just got back down on your hands and knees and gave up on walking?

P90X is hard if you have never exercised or have a lot of excess fat to lose.  But aren’t most good things in life hard to get?  If it’s really important to you, you go after it and don’t stop until you get it.  P90X is sort of like that except something happens after that first week or so.  Your body says “Hey, I can do this.  And I’m not going to die. And I kind of like it!”  You start out with week one, doing many different things.  If you eat well, your body literally takes on new life.  You start losing weight, your metabolism gets kicked into high gear and you start having more energy.  Wow, who doesn’t want that?

There are three different intensity levels with the P90X program.  You get to choose from a “Lean” version, to the “Classic” to the “Doubles”.  And even within each different level you choose, you can ramp it up or down.  If doing 24 moves is too much, then cut it in half for awhile.  But Tony Horton, author and trainer, is there to always encourage you.  His motto of “Do your best and forget the rest” keeps you going.  So is too hard?  I say NO.

What will be harder is NOT doing it.  We live and walk around in this world working and having fun, or wanting to.  Why wouldn’t we want to take care of the one thing that would allow us to do the others?  Our bodies!  So if we take care of them then we can live, eat, work and play with a healthier body and be better protected against the things that would try and hurt us.

So what are you waiting for?  An invitation?  Here it is.  I’m inviting you to take part in a body and life transformation.  Order P90X and with it I’ll become your personal coach to help keep you motivated and on track.  So take this moment and stop crawling around the unhealthy lifestyle of not exercising and STAND UP, Decide!…Commit!… and be on your way to WALKING a different life in Success!

The P90X Myth …

Dreya on P90XHave you seen this infomercial on TV?  Wow!  Can I really believe what I’m seeing?  People are jumping around, moving from one exercise to the next.  These guys are doing pull ups, push-ups, lunge’s and throwing in some exercises with dumbbells.  This has got to be a myth, because the people I see showing their before and after results from using P90X are just too good to believe.  Or are they?

I have to admit, these men and women doing P90X on TV sure do look like they’re sweat’in through the routine.  Heck, they aren’t even using the excuse that they slept in a Holiday Inn last night.  They’re move’in and groove’in and getting it done.  The men and women showing their fantastic results from using P90X certainly lead me to believe that this in NO myth.  The pictures look real and taken in their home.P90X Set

OK, I’m playing the devil’s advocate here about this infomercial and being a little silly, but I was once one of these “Before” photo people!   My story started when I was out of town and lounging on the bed in a hotel room (not a Holiday Inn) eating a doughnut of all things and channel surfing on TV.  I came across this P90X program and was floored.  I made up my mind right then and there that I was taking command and control of my life and making my change right then and there!  I picked up the phone and ordered P90X.   You can get it HERE. Well the delivery was no myth.  Just a few short days later I had the program in hand and was anxious to start.

I flipped that mental switch in my mind and haven’t looked back.  As you can see from my before and after pictures, this P90X program is NO myth!  I lost 30 plus pounds and gained muscle.  I’m almost ready to take my next series of after pictures so stay tuned and check back here often to see how much more muscle I’ve gained and fat I’ve lost.Bills Before and After photo

Don’t get me wrong, this program is no magic pill.  You do need to open the package and slide in the DVD and do the workout.  I was a little intimidated at first and could only do a few of some of the moves, but as I kept at it, I got stronger and was able to do more and more.  You will too!  So here’s my advice to you.  Do IT!  Take control of your life today and order P90X.  I believed in it so much that I became an Independent Beachbody Coach with Beachbody and am authorized to sell this program to you.  So take comfort in the fact that you are getting an authorized program with a full 30 day money back guarantee.  And I will become your coach for free.  That’s right, I get to serve you and help you stay on track to reach your fitness goals.  So what are you waiting for?  Just do it!
