So, I'm starting P90x...

I've heard really good things about the program itself as far as results. However, I have heard some pretty bad things about people who return them still being charged & they never get a refund. So if you order it, I'd make sure you use a card that will help you get your refund if you decide it isn't for you.

My husband and I did this last year for about 4 1/2 months. It's incredibly hard, but I had only ever done elliptical or some aerobics. The weights part was particularly challenging. We were going more for fitness, I was/am about 30 pounds above my ideal body weight but had lost 50 pounds a couple years before (keeping most of it off). I didn't lose any weight with P90x, but looked thinner as I had developed muscles all over (no bulk, just unbelievable tone).

I think the most important thing is to be persistent. I could maybe do 20% of some of the routines, particularly the ones involving push-ups (could do some on my knees as I progressed). I would recommend if you are female and have typical upper body strength that you do the pull-ups using elastic bands (it's demonstrated on the DVD's).

Most importantly; Find your intensity level. Do what you can and eventually you will find yourself doing more and more of the work-outs. My body changed incredibly while doing it. We fully intend to get back into it again this year. My husband looked absolutely ripped after the first 90 days.

Favorite work-outs: Yoga, plyometrics, legs & back
Least Favorite: anything upper body that involved push-ups

My trainer loves it and incorporates it into our workout. Good Luck!

The real point of P90X and what should be the point of all fitness plans is not to lose weight.

It's to build muscle/endurance and lose fat.

P90X is very hard when followed precisely. Though after about 3-4 months the gains come quicker and it becomes easier. After a year it's like you were never out of shape or overweight.

I want to do it but I think I may need the P90 before I do the P90X. The last 5 years of college are showing.

I would recommend that. That's not the route I went and I nearly killed me the first time. Also, we have taken off working out (not recommended either) and just restarted 3 days ago. I predict by tomorrow I will not be able to use my arms or legs and as I recall, sitting down on the toilet will cause involuntary screaming.

teach me to take a couple months off.

This program looks intense. I am definitely making this year my getting healthy year, as I have spent most of my life with extra pounds.

Hopefully you can update us on how you are doing and what you think! I have checked out the program but it scared me, haha. Right now I have a gym membership but getting the kids to the gym is a chore itself, so now I am working on getting an elliptical... then I have no excuse!
