My husband and I have been looking in to the P90X work out videos and I was wondering if anyone has tired them. A few people have told him they are awsome but I wanted to hear from some moms out there about the program. Is it worth the money? Did you really see result in only 90 days? What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Tina
I had great results with Power 90. P90X I think is supposed to be after you have mastered Power 90. P90X is way longer and more complex than regular Power 90. I would suggest you start with Power 90 if you haven't been working out. Good luck!
As with any workout time was always the issue. If you find about 1.5 hrs per day then yes the workouts are worth it . We (hubby and I) didnt complete the program bc we ended up with eccessive travel and moving but did 2 mths. Even with interruptions like catching my son's colds I managed to lose 1" off my waist which was great! There are 2-3" to go but we will definitely do it again once settled in our new home. They stress the diet too which is almost the harder part in the beginning. Its tons of food and almost all of it has to be freshly cooked. Example: phase 1 has a different fresh soup every day! If you are a working mom, its impossible to manage so I had to find quick easy alternatives for fat free veggies. Also know that you'll need equipment. Bands didn't really work for us so we bought a set of weights, a pull up bar, yoga mats, push up handles and their recovery drink. All add up to a costly program. But i'm happy we have it and will be back on the program shortly!
HI Tina,
If you'd like more information about P90X and if you're near Vista, CA, a friend of mine has workouts on Monday nights (I'm pretty sure that's the night)... Anyway, she definitely has a lot more information!
Let me know and I'll give you her info.

My SIL tried them and said they were too long of a time commitment and she couldn't do most of the exercises because they were too hard. I think they are for people already in really good shape that have time and want to look extra ripped.
my husband and i have this video. i'll just say this its alot of hard work lol i gave up on it i just couldn't take it, after a while my husband gave up too i guess it was more than we bargained for. good luck! oh yea each workout is like 1hr long! YIKES! lol
I have been wondering the same thing. I will tell you that a girlfriend of mine had great results with the P90X system, but because of it's intense nature, she moved over to something called Chalean Extreme and says it's pretty similiar but you don't want to "die" afterward. Best of Luck!
yep it works...but you have to stick with it..you are the 3rd person to ask about this on a parent site..almost makes me wonder if its a promo thing..lol! but really yes..works..don't get suckered into all the vitamins though.

Check Craig's list. That is where we got ours.
Hi, Tina. I'm starting my 3rd week on P90X. I love it! However, I do recommend you to start with something else to get your body ready for the program. I did the Brazil Butt Lift for about three weeks prior to starting P90X, and I highly recommend it. It is such a fun and effective work out. Good luck!
I have seen parts of the videos. They are tough, and they say so. But Tony is a fantastic coach. If you think they might be too much, check out the 10 minute trainer that he has also put out. My little one lost the first dvd so I have not done it is some time but it was really great. 4 workouts that you can mix and match or just do one. I have the Power 90--pre P90X--and it is really good also. He really motivates you to keep moving. That is another dvd mia that I really plan to find.
I would love to make those changes and I think the folks that stick to the entire plan make significant changes. Two of my already super fit/athletic friends wanted to do it but to stick with the program they felt like they were going to die from the pain that didn't go away while still using the program.
If you do it...keep us posted!! Good luck
My husband and I are on week 4 and yes, they really do work, but like anything else, you have to be commited to doing them. We take days off here and there but we feel so good after the work-outs that it keeps us coming back for more. You definitely want to get them off craigslist though because you can get them brand new, in the wrap for half the price.
A friend of my husband's has done the program (twice) and the results were amazing. He didn't follow the diet so much, mostly the workout routine. My husband was inspired and borrowed a copy from another friend who bought it and couldn't stick to it, but I think if you're the kind of person who can stick to the routine it will definitely work. My husband is a pretty determined guy, I'm anxious to see if he gets results like his buddy.
