Has anyone tried the P90X routine? If so, what were you results?

path

I tried it last summer for 3 months and LOVED IT. I lost 23 pounds of fat and gained 9 pounds of muscle. I had to quit but I am starting back up this week.

Awesome, was it difficult? I am thinking of trying it....but I'm kinda weak...

path

I am very weak also. I had to use a chair to help me do the pull ups and I had to do the push ups on my knees but even with all that I still got great results. The only thing is you must follow the nutrition strictly. It is very important to eat the way they tell you. I didnt see results the first 30 days but then I started eating the way it told me and I started seeing the results. It is tough because you have to eat ALOT of food but it has to be healthy food. I was eating 2200 calories a day. WHEW...... very hard to get that much food in.

Are you male or female?

path

male, most females eat about 1800-2000 calories a day on it.

ChihuahuaMomma

Holy crap. My diet now is 1200 calories. I think 2000 is way too much for me....Although I think this program will take too much time, I just started my third job so my time is very limited now a days.

chi, I'm glad you asked about P90x...I thought I was the only one that was on it.

As you know (or don't know), I'm a 22-year old male, recent college grad...I thought I was in relatively decent shape...I dropped about 30 lbs over the past 6 months after losing a girlfriend (excess weight)

I got on P90X about 2 months ago...and I gotta say...it whoops my butt...every...single...day.

unlike path, I thought I'd be the tough guy and follow the routine like they did (straight chin ups without the chair, straight pushups, etc)...

first week, I was wishing for the sweet kiss of death.

However, I've seen tremendous results. I'm a LOT stronger than I used to be (benched 160 before...2 months later, I'm hitting 185) and I can do roughly 350 crunches a day. It's insane.

It sounds great, perhaps if they had a more time compacted routine, lol. I spend enough energy on work. Where is that MAGIC weight loss pill when you need it??

haha, if anything, I suggest trying the ab-ripper video...maybe do about 10 - 15 minutes of it.

I promise you, if you do what they do, you'll consider calling the paramedics afterwards.
