I was thinking about it figure it would be a good way to make a fast transformation if I really committed to it.
thanks for any feedback.

P90X is a killer program (in many ways). There will be times where you feel like you are going to die, but if you stick with it you will see some great results.
-
Ask BaldRob.....
-
I would say yes. Stay committed to it and you will see results. Mind you, if you do not follow the nutrition plan you will still see results but not the amazing ones you see in the testimonials.
-
Yes! The transformation that I'm seeing is awesome! Also, BaldRob had AMAZING results, but you have to stick with it and be serious about your diet.
-
well hopefully baldrob sees this so he can provide a testimonial for me.

It's going well! On my second week of my second go around. I had to stop after 7 weeks of the first go at it due to a shoulder injury that's non-related to P90X. I didn't lose much strength or stamina during the break, so I'm finding that I can bring it harder now. Also, I'm much more strict with my diet and shed 6 pounds just last week.
In terms of my diet, I'm sticking to a high protein, low fat, high fiber diet. Most of my carbs are coming from fruits and vegetables, with a lot of beans in the mix. I've also cut my portions in half from what I used to eat before and I'm finding that I don't need all the food I was eating to still have plenty of energy.

Awesome!
Just be ready for the 3rd training block... You'll need LOTS of energy and food!
1 more week to go in my 2nd time... then a week off before I start.... <gasp>... DOUBLES!!

i say we all gift scrho a few pounds mind you i said lbs not ££. :*))

Definitely worth the money, but like others have said, you must stick with the program, and eat the right foods.
I have a problem because I brew my own beer at home O0 so it seems to be counterproductive at times.
However, they are great workouts, and I have stuck to the 6x week and am down 16 lbs so far! I wanted to do it with a strict diet and all, but realized that I needed to work it into my lifestyle so I can still substain my other hobbies while making healthier food and exercise choices.
Instead of drinking a 6 pack of my beer, eating chips and chicken wings. I now have a beer or two, do a P90X workout, and have a healthy sensible meal. That formula alone will cause me to lose weight (and has!)
I like beer too much to give it up, so I had to find a way to mix it in. Now similar to Rob, I am down to one day, sometimes two per week I allow myself to have a beer or two (good thing I make the higher ABV beers!)

I really like the P90X workout. I did it solid for 7 weeks and then started a remodel and school at the same time and it sort of fell off. After thanksgiving and looking forward to christmas I am going to give it another shot. I was thinking of doing the workout every-other day. Does anyone have any experience with that, or to be effective does it need to be everyday?
-
I did it for 9 weeks and then got distracted with business and family issues. I could definitely see a difference. Following the proposed meal plan was impossible for me due to having two teenagers playing sports - eating out too much. However, I cut out the between meal snacks and the bedtime cookies and milk and found that this helped me immensely. I hope to start again the first of February. P90X is not for the faint of heart. I would only do it after you are in some type of shape. Starting with no base of exercise is a killer.

I would agree with Steve, the reason P90X is so 'effective' is because most people dive into it having never committed to an exercise program before. I would argue that you could get the same weight-loss results from just jumping rope or doing any type of cardio, and dieting.
If I were you, I would determine my desired target weight and get at or near that mark doing through dieting and cardio before you start P90X. Once you have dropped some weight, doing all those body-weight exercises will be MUCH easier. You will probably be able to achieve a higher range of motion and perform the moves correctly if you don't have the extra baggage. Also consider the less-intense (and cheaper) P90, which is tailored to those of us who are not already in great shape.

imo p90x is the best program to date not to mention the best selling excersize and nutrition program in history.
Do what it says and it will work like it says.

Way to go BaldRob!!! O0

Actually, you can dive into without any previous exercise programs. But, you have to listen to your body when you are doing the DVDs... I bought it and started it right away. I did what I could when I started... which wasn't very much. As time progressed, my weight dropped and I was doing more and more each day!

You can do it every other day, but you won't get the same results... It is better than doing nothing though! Good Luck!
