So this is my 3rd time through P90X and I’m ashamed to say that this time around has been no better than the past two. Life gets in the way and I end up missing a week and then fizzle out. However I am determined to get back on the horse and hammer out the rest of the 60 days I have left. The hardest part is finding the time between the wife and kids to do an hour workout via DVD every day.
All that said I love P90X! It has to be the best workout program I have ever done. Click on the image to see all the reviews at amazon as that helped me in determining which program to go with.
One of the best parts of P90X is the music and Tony talking you through every step. It makes the workout fly by and you don;t have to focus as much on how bad it hurts. Just power through and X it.
I have a found a few resources to help out with making it easier to keep track of things. Here is a P90X Spreadsheet to keep track of progress which has has all the pre/post test info you can put in as well. My good friend Matt has a blog post about P90X that outlines all of the extras he bought for using the program. I ended up just purchasing basic dumbbells
I’m starting phase three tomorrow, so far I love it. But I also don’t care about the diet. But I am getting a lot stronger and it sure if fun.
I don’t enjoy the 5:45am wake ups though

I must say P90X is one of the best workout programs now!I belive you will be in good shape after you finish the phases.
It really is an amazing workout routine. It’s just really difficult to dedicate an hour every single day for 3 months. Seems like it’s just something that will always be on the to-do list.
Well, I have read a lot about it on other blogs and about to have it for my husband. I think men always have hurdles and problem doing and completing such programs but I’ll support him fully.
I just recently purchased the P90X based on your recommendation. I can’t believe how effective the workouts have been. After just a week my arms and lower thighs feel and look toner
I’m not sure why but these workout programs don’t seem to work for me.
If you are enjoying it then that is the battle won. any exercise plan wil fall flat if it is not fun. Keep it up!

Interesting, but an hour every single day is really quite tough for me
Glad you got some use out of it. I’m hoping to get back into it soon.
It is tough to have the discipline to do it yourself at home, but it is cheaper than going to the gym and you don’t feel as silly starting out.
It was hard for me at first as well. If you want to do it you make time.
P90X IS A GREAT PROGRAM. THAT SAID IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET, BUT HAVE SEEN GREAT RESULTS ON OTHERS.
I will check out the program. Thanks
Ok P90X is anything but a walk in the park, these work outs kick your ass, seriously. The first time I did the first video, chest and back, I though I was going to die half way through. I only had to pause the video a couple of times to rest, my problem is the motivation factor. It has been months since I did a session, and I have never got past phase 1, with work, kids and old lady, it is hard to find time to kill myself for an hour a day..
Love P90X. Getting ready to start another round in Jan.
