What do you guys think of P90x informercials?

[LifterCatcher]

agreed. this may be my forum, so slightly biased, but i have never prescribed to any of that kind of garbage.

i believe in protein supplements and that's about it. the rest can be accomplished on your own .. if you can't do it on your own, then you will become dependent on products ... real waste of money.

I don’t look at it this way, P90x is a very detailed program and that is what a lot of people need, me one of them. It teaches you about nutrition and the nutrition is formatted to follow the workouts. There are three phases to the program. I can personally say that p90x works and I am the proof of that. I am not where I want to be put p90x has but me very close. I am on my 2nd round of the X. It's so much fun and the results happen fast.

However you are right that p90x is not for everyone it’s intense and it’s not easy at all, but if you follow the program it works and works darn well. Sure you can mix it up on your own and try and figure out what works for you. You might figure this out the first time or you might not. P90x works if you follow it that’s all there is to it.

As a trainer, I have nothing bad to say about this. I have heard great things and have even tried some of the workouts myself. I will admit he has some good ones! It is good for anyone that needs to have a structured workout designed for them and is really willing to stick with it since no one is checking up on you.

Well stated. My line of work sucks in the regard that schedule is inconsistent and time to workout and eat well varies. However, a good friend of mine was able to seriously change his body composition and got in bad ass shape. I asked him what the hell he had been doing and he sheepishly said "Have you ever seen those P90X commercials?"

He purchased them and loaded them on his iPod and did them in the hotel room.

Made me give serious consideration to picking them up.

PBx90 all i know is that the commercials have me hooked...lol i dont believe in it soo much but i can actually sit threw the infomercial as if i were watchin the simpsons... LMFAO =\

haha same here. The infomercials are very addicting. I know most of the people in them and if you don't blink I'm in the infomercial for a half second yelling "Bring It!" while making the X symbol. In a couple weeks you should begin to see an all new p90x infomercial roll out on the air waves

If you want to see wether it's worthwhile or not check out youtube and search for P9OX results to see what people have posted about it. From what I saw it looks like it builds a lot of muscle.

infommercials for P90 and others

It is not so much that P90 offers anything new under the sun or even introduces people to the "reason" why they should do things the P90 way, but it does make it simple for people and give rather good instruction as to how and when to perform the routines. It isn't something that is easy to take with you if yo travel a lot unfortunately. I keep a VersaStick on hand for that one and between the two of them my "outside of the gym" workouts are much easier and I don't have a hose full of middle of the night obstacles to avoid with the lights out.
