Is P90X Worth It?

Author     Category P90X     Tags

Hi, my name is Alex, and just like you I’ve been bombarded with these P90X ads online, on the radio, and even on TV! If you are reading this, you want to know: “Does P90X work and is it worth the money?

I started this blog to answer this question. After hours of research I still was not convinced until I started asking everyone I knew if they tried the program. I finally found an acquaintance who was able to get a six pack in just 60 days.

Intrigued I decided to order P90X here and blog about my results…

WHY I DECIDED TO GET IN SHAPE

After years of neglecting my body I was fed up with both how I felt and how I looked. I was in decent shape through college, but once I got a “desk jockey” job GAME OVER!

Sitting on your ass 8+ hours a day kept my belly growing. By the time I got home the last thing I wanted to do was change, go to the gym, wait my turn to use equipment, drive home, take a shower, etc. and so I kept getting fatter for 6 years.

Most people who decide to get in shape have a “moment” when they realize its time for a change. Mine came when I got the Wii Fit for my girlfriend. There is nothing more eye opening than having a machine tell you that you’re OBESE!!!

I knew I had to get in shape, so I tried the usual. First I changed my diet (Atkins) but I couldn’t fight my cravings. I then decided to start running and had good results, but again they didn’t last. Lastly, I decided maybe if I build muscle I’ll burn more calories, but as usual going to the gym was a disaster.

I needed a program that addressed everything including diet, strength, flexibility, all from home and easy enough for anyone to do.

MY HONEST REVIEW OF P90X

I have to be upfront and let you know that there are a few major drawbacks to P90X. The first is that in addition to the program you will need secondary equipment (pull up bar, resistance bands, etc). In fact, it seemed like there was a never ending stream of things they tried to up sell you from their energy bars, protein shakes, recovery drinks and more.

Good news, you don’t need all of that other equipment and supplements. All you need are the DVDs and the free fitness guide and you are ready to rock and roll.

My second issue was how tough the program is, definitely not for those who have NEVER worked out before. The first week will be the toughest not only because your body will have a hard time adjusting to the new movements, but you will have to find the inner strength and motivation to keep going.

After a few weeks it will be as routine as brushing your teeth and thats when you’ll see the most drastic results. I lost 19lbs just my first month alone.

The DVDs are great. Tony Horton the main trainer is pretty entertaining, from his Dinosaur impressions to his Forest Gump references, you will not be bored working out.

Each DVD (12) is very impressive with a wide array of movements I haven’t seen before and will keep you challenged week after week. They have a wide array of workouts including strength training, plyometrics, yoga, and more. Tony also takes the time to show you how to modify the movements to make them easier or harder for yourself.

There really is no excuse he even had a man with a prosthetic leg perform in the Plyometrics DVD… this you have to see to believe!

IS P90X WORH THE MONEY?

Well that really depends on you, but let me explain to you how I rationalized the purchase instead of just downloading it from some sketchy illegal website.

1. We know P90X works, there have been 1,000s of real life testimonials.

2. The hardest part about P90X is motivating yourself to workout.

3. One of the easiest ways to motivate yourself is MONEY!!!

4. By buying the program you will feel like your wasting your money if you DON’T work out!

Stay with me on this. Have you ever sat through a movie you didn’t like? If you have then you know the power of money to make you do something. You felt like you paid the $12.50 ticket + $7.00 in snacks and you wanted to get your moneys worth, even if it meant sitting through a boring movie.

Paying for this program works the same way, you will feel the NEED to workout because you paid money for it, and unlike the gym membership which costs even more, you won’t have the excuse of having to drive to workout!

It’s so easy just pop in the DVD, imagine doing that on your computer, don’t fool yourself if your serious get the real deal.
