Is P90X Worth It?
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…
Weighed myself a couple hours ago, and I have lost 27 pounds since starting the P90X Formula and HCG Ultra Diet Drops. It is incredible. I have never found anything that worked this well. I love that it is natural, and so good for you. I plan on losing about 10 more pounds.
If you are looking to lose weight, and don't know what to try next, or what will really work, try the P90X and the HCG Ultra Diet Drops, you have nothing but weight to lose by trying them! Don't waste another day being dissatisfied with your weight or how you look. I did it and You CAN make the change, it is possible!

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.
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.

I Snapped My Resistance Band
Today during the bicepts, tricpes, and shoulders workout I snapped my resistance band. I thought I bought a pretty good set, but I guess I was wrong. Luckily it did snap back in my eye or something awful, but it did piss me off as I had to stop my workout early (only half way done).
I hoped onto craigslist to see if I can score some dumbbells ASAP. So what should you look for in buying weights for P90X?
Day 30 P90X – My First Month Results
I can’t believe a month has passed. After the first week I really started to get in the groove of things. Learning the movements and overcoming the mental barrier to quit were the two hardest things for me.
The diet plan was so easy and delicious that it was just a pleasure to follow it. I didn’t starve myself and the recipes were easy enough even for a novice cook like myself.
I didn’t go crazy with measuring my body fat and all that other nonsense because my biggest gauge for my success is how I feel not a bunch of numbers. And how I feel is great! But for those who must know the numbers I started at 225lbs and after month1 lost about 15lbs (bounces 2lbs from day to day)!
Here are my 1 month pictures.
Oh yeah I decided to shave my head. Also, I created a P90X Results page to track my progress.
First Week of P90X – 3 Things You Have to Know
Finally, my first week of P90X is over. This has honestly been one of the longest most arduous weeks of my life. The first day I had a buddy of mine who I consider pretty fit join me and even he couldn’t keep up!
The very first day the program expected me to do 300 push ups and 300 pull ups?! Needless to say I didn’t even come close but like Tony Horton says (the trainer in the DVDs) “Try your best and forget the rest!”
Anyway, here are three things you should know before you decide to try P90X for yourself
My Before Pictures
Before I show you my before pictures, I have to admit this is a bit embarrassing. I know there is going to be people I know who will see this, and I’m pretty ashamed for letting myself get this out of shape.

P90X Equipment Needed
Just a quick note for you guys looking to save some dough on P90X equipment. They try to up sell you a bunch of stuff you don’t need, so here is what you can do instead:
The True Cost of P90X – Is It Worth It
I finally got my P90x kit that came with the DVDs, workout guide, nutrition guide, and a few other goodies. The total cost was under $50 bucks – but that’s just month one. It turns out you get billed monthly for the program and the total cost after the full 90 days will be $200!
You might say that’s wayyy too much, especially since a lot of you are going to go try to find it for free on torrents, but here is the weird psychological secret to the correlation between cost and results that my hypnosis friend taught me.
How to Get In Shape Quickly from Home
After years of neglecting my body I finally hit my breaking point and decided it was time to get in shape quickly. If you’re reading this you probably hit that breaking point too, whether it’s a health issue, a concern from a friend, an upcoming event, or like in my case being borderline “obese” according to the Wii Fit!
I knew that getting a gym membership was not enough and I would just be flushing a monthly fee down a toilet. To succeed you have to be able to work out ANYWHERE and so I started my search for the perfect at home program to get me back in shape.
After hours of research and first hand testimonials from friends I chose P90x by BeachBody. Keep reading to see if P90X is right for you…
