What do you guys think of P90x informercials?
- Thread starter jation

Looks like a waste of money to me. infomercials are basically commercials that pretend not to be.
From the website: "The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "Muscle Confusion," which accelerates the results process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus, and you never get bored!"
Oh, you mean mix my training up?! Well worth the money.....NOT!

The two reasons I actually get excited now when I see a p90x infommercial on tv is because I know it works and I know half the people in the infommercials and I can personal testify that those success stories are real because I have witnessed them.
The infommercial is formatted just like any other informmercial so its really difficult to tell which ones are genuine and which ones are just a scam. p90x certainly isnt a scam. It isnt for everyone, but its for me.

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.

Speak for yourself, to those including myself who like the motivation the products gives its certainly not a waste of money.
If you are going to decide to watch an infomercial or a company selling a product: "Always View Though Educated Eyes".
This can prevent poor purchases and improve the odds on making a good purchase.

i am speaking for myself ... it's a forum, not a dictatorship.
I think this is one of a million types of ways to achieve great fitness. If you enjoy it, then do it. All you need is a stimulus...
P90x is kind of a hyped-up version of cross-training...

Which is why I spoke for myself, too =) You're comment needed balance.

Bumping? I thought I typed something in all of those messages. Isnt your post more like a *bump* than mine? =)
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.
just buy the new encyclopedia of modern bodybuilding, I grabbed it the other day, and its well worth the price. Only around 33$ with taxes. It might now show the exacts of p90x, but it has everything you need to build lean massive amounts of muscle.
Why wouldnt you believe arnold hehe?

Because he was weak.
I check up on my people. Some of them I have write me weekly or daily progress reports on how they are doing. I do what I can to motivate them, but after the first step or two into the program they typically turn into fitness monsters and there is really no holding them back at that point. Its beautiful.
I saw a copy of that book at a barnes and noble. I didnt buy it but I stayed and read into it for a couple of hours as I relaxed on one of their sofas. It was a good read! Many of the same concepts the book talks about is in p90x. Its just good ole fashioned weight lifting 101.
