Does P90X really work? That is a question I wanted to know after
watching those infomercials on late night TV. We all know we should be
skeptical of late night commercials, right? That’s when all the spammy
stuff is on! So, I did my research and finally decided to try it after I
saw a friend of mine doing to program. I asked him, “does P90X work”,
which he responded by showing me his 6 pack. That was all the proof I
needed to get started.
I ordered the DVDs and got them, along with the nutritional and
exercise guide in the mail a week later. I was excited to get started.
It was not easy, it took a lot of work, but the results are worth it.
As long as you show up everyday and push play, your body will adapt to
the changes. The workouts are very diverse, certainly not boring, and
they are as challenging as you need them to be.
The nutritional plan was easy to stick to, as long as you had a plan.
You can never go into a day without knowing what you are going to eat.
This is because you will end up eating something you are not supposed
to. The key is to eat something healthy every 3-4 hours. This will
jump start your metabolism and start burning fat. This combined with
the workouts will shred fat like you would not believe. Bring it for 90
days and you will be glad you did. There is no other program like this
out there on the market.

Don't Download P90X
If you can’t tell by now, P90X is not free, it costs 120 dollars, but it is well worth it. Trying to Download P90X free is a waste of your time and I will tell you why.
1 – You can potentially mess up your whole computer because you may download a virus.
2 – The P90X program is 13 DVDs worth of data, do you have any idea how long it would take to download all of that? At over 50 gigabites, your computer may not be able to hold that much information. It will also slow your computer down quite a bit, if you have an extra 50 gigs laying around. About a week and a half. If you ordered it, you could have the whole program in a week.
3 – When doing the program, you will also need the nutritional guide and exercise guide/workbook to get good results using P90X. These don’t come with the DVDs you may possibly be able to download off of the internet. The diet is tough, but it is a crucial piece to the P90X puzzle. You need this to succeed with the program. When you actually order the whole program for 120 dollars, you get the 13 DVDs, the exercise workbook (to record your workouts), and the nutritional plan.
4 – You also need a pull up bar and resistance bands (or dumb bells) to do the program, and last time I checked, you cannot download a pull-up bar! It is a better value to get a P90X package with all of this equipment included.
5 – When you download P90X, you will need to convert the files and you will need a special DVD burner. Most normal computers don’t have this feature. The DVDs are copyrighted so it is illegal, which I know a lot of people don’t care, but Beachbody makes it so you cannot easily burn the DVDs because it has some type of file encryption to prevent DVD pirating. So if you spend the week and a half downloading it and you are lucky enough to “download p90x” for free and you don’t get any viruses, you will have to make sure it is the correct format, convert it, and then buy a special DVD burner + the DVDs. A lot of unnecessary work.
6 – I know people who have successfully downloaded p90x for free and guess what? They never end up using it. Why? Because they didn’t put anything of theirs into it. They didn’t invest their own money. If you invest your own money in a product, you will be more likely to get what you put into it back out. You will commit to the program because you have spent money on it. When you get something for free, it will just sit there and not get used.
The fact of the matter is that P90X is only sold through 1 company and is always going to be 120 dollars. If you find it for somewhere cheaper, beware. There are lots of fake copies/gimmicks of this program floating around the internet and you will only waste your money if you pursue this method. I have heard of quite a few people getting the program from ebay or craigslist and the copy was bogus or they never received it in the mail.
You could try what I have done. I bought P90X and became a Beachbody coach. So, I earn money while staying in shape. Win-win. I can help you earn money while doing P90X too. All you have to do is sign up to be a beachbody coach. Basically, you get paid to refer people to buy beachbody products. You get a 25% commission and you also get a 25% discount on all beachbody products (recovery drink, shakeology, insanity, p90x). Sign up to be a beachbody coach.

P90X Lean exercise schedule
The P90X lean version of the P90X extreme home exercise program is intended for those who just want to cut fat and get more tone. You will still use the entire 12 set DVD collection for your lean program, just in a different configuration. More women are interested in this version than men since there is less weight lifting involved. In the P90X Classic version, there is much more weight lifting, pull ups, and push ups.

If you are familiar with the classic P90X program, you will notice that they have removed one of the traditional weight lifting blocks with a cardio workout. That's it. It is not a huge difference at all, but over 13 weeks, it does make a difference. So bottom line, if you want to tone up, go with the P90X lean version. If you want to build muscle, go with the classic version. And if you want to go insane, go with the 90X Doubles version. This is basically two-a-days.
