p90x
A buddy of mine wants to start this program and asked me to start with him. Looking at the videos it looks like this is going to kick my ***. Time to get back in shape. A little over an hour a day, 6 days a week, 90 days. Wish me luck.

p90x is old, go with INSANITY. I guess to warm up p90x is pretty good, I like the kenpo and plyometrics. INSANITY is a type of workout with like 5% downtime during the entire workout videos.

My roommate has p90x on his computer, I got him to burn the ab ripper program for me. I was doing it for a while, and I have to say, its intense. I have never done any other of their programs, but if they are all as intense as the ab ripper, then I have to say it is probably a badass program. Goodluck

I went to start it last week. It is not for beginners. That's for certain. I had started the diet the week before and lost 6 pounds just from sticking to the diet. I started the workout (Day 1 - chest & back / ab ripper) the following Monday (5/31). I couldn't move for a couple of days and there was no way in hell I could do day 2 the following day. I have now had a stupid upper respiratory infection for the past 5 days. I was down a total of 8 pounds (185 to 177) when I got sick. I was 179 this morning. I hope to get back on it in a couple of days. If you stick to it, I don't see any way in hell how it wouldn't get you great results.

I really liked p90x, but i never got the manual for it because I burned it. I'd like to see how it's actually noted how to do the program. Like what their schedule is like. I just do the videos that I feel suits me for that day. I don't know what days to put the ab ripperx in or anything. I wish I had that diet too. I have my own, but I wonder how theirs is setup. Can you post how they have the workout setup for the 90days? I made it through the first 45days, and then I got in my car accident, sucks.

I just do heavy resistance Mon-Thurs (workout I learned from the football team when I played college baseball) and HIT training on the weekends. It's basically the same training most Tailbacks go through in college ball. P90x just looks like hardcore aerobics to me, plus I hate working out at home.
Have thought about doing P90x just to see how it did plus I could probably loose 5 lbs, but I could do that with my current workout. Currently I am 6'1" 210 lbs. bench over 300 lbs. and squat over 500. Have always wondered how I would take to it, but I just don't follow diets strict enough.

I figured I was handing myself an *** whooping. It looks pretty intense. The diet OS crazy too. I also got it bootleg on the computer. But I also have all the stuff that comes with it (calendar fitness guide nutrition plan.) I am not really over weight so the diet isn't really my concern. Everyone I have talked to say nothing but good things

I didn't follow the diet I followed my own, but for the most part, I followed the workout plan. I'm a short guy and I started it @ 200lbs, so I was quite overweight. 3 months later I was down to 150 flat. I'm back up to 160 and I'm about to begin INSANITY, same sponser as p90x, beachbody.com. It works quite well and it will kick your *** and ya, the Ab Ripper is only a 15-20 minute workout but 2 days later I literally could not walk. I'm glad it was a weekend day because I would not have been able to go into work.

After paying for the program, an extra set of dumbells, some resistance bands and a chin-up bar, I have about $140 invested. I'll let you know if it was worth it.
