My wife is doing it right now. I did the "plyometrics" workout with her today and it was pretty damn hard. I'm in good shape to begin with and it was definitely a stuggle but was doable. You can pause it to give yourself more of a break if you need it. If you stick to the workout, you will absolutely get in good shape - no question IMO. Nutrition is key though obviously.

Well what equipment is needed. I have nothing at home except free weights. From the youtube vids it looks like I need a few things. Im excited to try this.

oh thanks, I must have missed that post. Well I dont have a pull-up bar as that would probably make my door ways come crashing down.

I'm in the middle of it with my fiancee' right now. Plyometrics will kick your arse. Look for full kits on craigslist. Also, TJ Max, ROSS, Marshals, etc, are actually great places to find cheap bands and mats.

If you never lift really, I would recommend getting with a trainer (who looks the part) for nutrition and a program. Lifting can be a lot of fun and you can see great results with a good program. Conversely, if you just go in there and wing-it, you may end up working hard and not achieving anything and/or hurting yourself. There is also a tremendous amount of information online, but there is also a lot of misinformation - so weeding through and tailoring it is a serious time commitment. Most good trainers have a lot figured out already. |

You can supplement/replace with bands also. Like, if you aren't strong enough to do many pullups, the bands are a nice alternative. They also come in different weight ratings, etc. The investment is very minor in terms of equipment though, if that is what you are asking.

Just ordered it! I'm in okay shape right now (left over from my old bodybuilding days) but really need to step it up a notch. My wedding is in April with Honeymoon to Mexico following; would be nice to see my abs again..LOL!
I just went ahead and ordered the pullup bar as well; don't really have time to be hunting for this crap at Target; it is so freaking cold outside that I rather stay in. -SZ |

I started P90X the day after my 40th birthday - March 15th- at the time I played hockey once a week and tried to get to the gym 2-3 days. I was 192 lbs on a 5'-9" frame. After my first 90 days I was 172lbs - shredded with a bonified 6 pack. This program is awesome. Since then I have done P90X+ and now on insanity. I am going back to P90X program next week as I found it was the best of all programs.
I highly recommend it to anyone as there is minimal equipment needed. As they say Decide, Commit, Succeed. OK off my soap box for the morning. Have a great day! |

I ordered p90x for 46 shipped from eBay, multi function pull up bar, ABS strap and band for 36 shipped, also on eBay, yoga mat for 9 bux at target. I was contemplating on buying the bow flex adjustable dumbbells for 300 until I found a set of adjustable 40 pound dumbbells online (Walmart) for 20 bux, so ill be buying those. Another thing u need is a bench or chair; I'm sure everyone has this at home already. I will be starting round one of p90x when I return from vacation the end of February. Ill be starting a "Get in shape for summer" topic. Anyone want to join me? We can keep eachother motivated. Maybe we can post pics every two weeks or whatever. Lmk guys.

he even says it in the video, don't think you can't.. just do as many as you can.. the bands are not to replace if you arent strong enough, that's what the chair is for. the bands are if you dont have place to put up the pullup bar. I didnt think I could, but I gave it a go (with the chair) and I did 4 wide pull ups and I consider myself an out of shape person. (and so does everyone else..)
