Anyone Tried P90X?

weightI keep seeing PX90 (actually P90X but I think PX90 sounds better) infomercials specially over the last few months. I guess they are trying to capture all those who made New Years resolutions. It also might mean I watch too much TV. I always get a laugh from some of these before and after pictures, some look like they just suck in their gut, get a tan and oil up their body. Not sure if P90X pays for the best before and after pictures like some do but I would not be surprised.

For those of you who live on Mars and have not watched the P90X infomercial, P90X bills itself as a total fitness program for those who want to get ripped and targets both men and women. Like most of the programs it sells for +$100 and then there are extra optional pieces of equipment you can buy. The P90X system is suppose to get you ripped in 90 days and consists of 12 DVD’s each with a unique workout. The plan also comes with three guides, including one with a nutritional program for you to follow.

All and all it looks like a decent comprehensive system, I wouldn’t mind hearing from a few people who have really tried it. Trouble is when you search the net you do not know if your getting a honest review or just someone trying to sell you something.

P90X Testimonials

David Akers of the Philadelphia Eagles claims to have used it saying,

“I liked it because it really worked a lot with the explosion of the legs,”

“Jumping, cardio aerobic, push-ups, pull-ups, jumping back and forth, it’s crazy. Yoga, stretch, Kenpo . . . it’s all kind of mixed into one.”

Although I think it comes with a 30 day guarantee the bottom line is you still have to be committed to working hard or you may as well keep your $100 in your wallet. If you have ordered P90X feel free to leave a comment, its cheaper than its infomercial competitor BowFlex at least.
