Hi guys. I recently started this P90-X workout-I'd say about two months ago and WHOA my body is amazing. I've lost a total of 17 lbs and I am still going strong everyday! I am only about 5 foot tall so I'm pretty small, but have had three children-pushing 30 and was not feeling nor looking so great in my recent years. So I thought-why the hell not?

People are doing it as a fitness challenge here at work and then I started to join in with them and I have outstanding results! My butt is awesome! :) -even when I tighten my butt muscles-NO wrinkles-no flab-my legs are GORGEOUS-my biceps are just nice. They even call me the hulk here because when I work out (lift weights, push-ups, pull-ups) my veins pop out-it is awesome!

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this workout and how happy/unhappy they are with the results.

Thanks!

I haven't used it myself, but I know people who have, and they all say the system is tough, but gives results.

It is tough! But not impossible. Believe me, if I can do it anyone can! There are people down there with me everyday who work their tails off and they are there with me everyday-and they are getting results as well. It's totally changing my life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. :)

I'm thinking of giving it a try... but not in front of others, going to do it at home and possibly with one other girl at work.

That's a great idea! When I started here at work, I was so out of shape and so embarrassed. And of course our "fitness captain" was in excellent shape-but it was only he and one other person doing it, so I didn't have a large crowd to start in.

I would love to do it at home but it's not that easy right now-not P90 x stuff that is because I have little ones at home crawling under me over me and all around me-I would not accomplish much. Now we have a huge crowd that comes down everyday during our lunch hour of all shapes and sizes. I highly recommend it. It is hard every single day-but you will definitely get the results you have always wanted. I look better than I ever have my own life! I sound like a commercial :D

From my experience with P90X, with it being such a hard core training,(I wouldn't call it a workout) You train your body and your lifestyle.I would definatley try to do it with someone else. If you have a "team" around you, you are more likely to stick with it. I was in a group of 9 friends and family members and they started dropping out and then of course, everyone stopped. We are starting again Monday, and we are not stopping this time. (last time I was about 10 lbs heavier and had a 5 month old baby. Now he is 13 months and I am ready now more than ever to finish this thing! Good luck!! It shows fantastic results!

I have tried it and I have seen amazing results as well... if you put your mind to it and set realistic goals for yourself.

I had several start stop (mostly due to my hectic travel schedule). However, during the times that I stuck with the program I saw my body go through some great changes. The program can be very tough or easy depending on your approach. For example, if you try to do the number of reps they do in the video on day one then you're more likely to get discouraged quickly (that happened to me the first time). However, if you set realistic goals for yourself and start doing as many reps as will let you get through an entire routine then you're much more likely to succeed. For example, I couldn't do 25 reps for each set of routines in an exercise session (say ab-ripper plus). Instead I would do 5 to 10 reps for each set (e.g. mason twist) and at the end of a session I would have done perhaps 90 reps out of a possible 300+ reps (again ab-ripper as an example). But after the 2nd week I would increase my reps by a almost double and towards the 3rd week I was able to maintain and keep up with the videos.

I have since stopped and started a few times and I'm realistic that because of my schedule I will not likely go through straight 90 days of this exercise even with a skipped day or two. I use this program strictly as a "tool" in my exercise arsenal. This tool happens to be one of the better tools out there for me personally.

One more thing that helped me was the ability to easily track my progress. I didn't like keeping track of my progress on paper and then transferring those to spreadsheets. I have since invested in some software made by WorkoutSoft which made tracking fun and helped me look forward to the next exercise and seeing my progress charts/graphs go up.

I'm definitely happy with the results that I have seen with the P90X program.

Edit: I saw the new post and didn't realize how old the OP was... Sorry.
