I've been wondering about P90X myself- once my physical therapy is complete I'll have 90 days to get back into great shape before I have to take the APFT again, and I've been eying the P90X system.

P90X is a damn tough work out.
We had several Marine try it out in Iraq.
No one was able to complete the whole 90 days
Some quit, some were injured (non P90x related) and others modified the work out.

Check out Craig's list for discounted P90X sets

I was researching this and i am curious what you get in the package.I have seen the 13 dvd sets for 60 or less on ebay.I am just not sure what comes with the set.I have also seen them for over 100 dollars.What should i be looking for in the actual sealed kit.

you didn't hear it from me but you can also find the entire dvd set online if you buy the set it comes w/like some workout guides, nutrition guides, etc as well as an account to access the p90x website and forums.

it's very tough, my roommate was supposed to be doing this with me but dropped out after the 2nd day.

When I clicked on this thread I was expecting to see some new offering in a funky overpriced useless caliber from FN.

you can download them, try limewire.....


i have it, love it, just started week 1 yesterday, for the second time....it is an ass kicker....i made it through 10 days, before i broke a rib and had to take some time off.  Now just started, puked half way through chest and back.  

first week i lost 8lbs in 6 days....i'm was 5'10" 178.....6 days, 172, and sore....10 days 169....then i'm back up to 179 after 2 months off to heal/travel.

it will kick your ass, but is worth it...and it is real....

ps. that was with only slight diet modification.  light beer vs the diesel.

I have the DVD's and tried it a couple of months back.  I tried the chest/back routine and it kicked my ass!  I was sore five days later!  I have been running on my treadmill for just over a month now consistently and will try to incorporate the P90X routine.  Its no gimmick, it will work if you try hard enough.

yeah...if you can stick with it...it's great.  I just find i travel a lot and miss days and it's hard for me to keep going and just skip.  I like to do them.

I was running 2-3 miles a day for about 30 minutes and It did get me in shape a little better, but lost no weight.  I needed sprints and more like an hour of straight tread mill.  Just doesn't get your body working like P90x.

I know several guys that have done the full 90 days with the eating plans and everything. They got in the best shape of their lives. Its really about getting lean and ripped.
