The difference between Power 90 and Power 90X is pretty significant. Although the Power 90X series (P90X) is developed with the original Power 90 at its core, it is a seriously more intense workout regimen created for people who have finished the Power 90 series and want more, or for those people looking to ramp up their fat burning and muscle building results, to a new extreme level!
The original Power 90 is centered on 6 weekly workouts that are 30 minutes in length. The system is made up of 3 different DVDs designed to sculpt your body over a 90 day period. The DVD’s include a variety of exercise techniques like Kenpo, Cardio, and Plyometric moves. Tony Horton guides you through each workout ensuring you are getting the moves right and motivating you with his captivating enthusiasm.
The Power 90 DVDs walk you through Sculpt Cardio, Sweat Cardio, and Ab Ripper workouts to get your body tight and transformed. Power 90 (p90) is a great starting point for people who may be just starting out on their fitness quest, or wanting to ease their way into things.
Power 90X, however, is for the more advanced. The P90X series ramps up the workouts to 60 minutes a piece, 6 days a week with the 7th day being a rest or stretch day. These 60 minute workouts push your body to its edge and then push some more. The 90 day program can drastically transform a body.
Unlike the original Power 90, Power 90X has 12 unique DVD’s and entire workouts dedicated to Plyometrics, Kenpo, Core Synergistics, and even Yoga. These heart pumping, muscle building workouts will have your body shaping up in no time. This program is not for the faint of heart or anyone simply looking to add a little exercise to their life. This is for people who are serious about the hard work involved in making a true body transformation.
Power 90 comes with a Fat Burner Food Plan created to jump start your body through nutrition. It allows you to burn fat while not giving up your favorite foods. Power 90X, however, includes a 3 Phase Nutrition Plan designed specifically to fuel your body while it is challenged through the P90X workouts.
The Power 90X 3 Phase Nutrition Plan starts you out with the Fat Shredder stage which is focused on high protein intake and a rapid decrease in body fat percentage. Phase 2 is the Energy Booster which slightly increases carb intake, creating a balance with the protein to maximize your energy. The final phase is the Endurance Maximizer which is an athlete’s diet. This stage is for those people who are continually pushing their bodies and can afford the extra carbohydrates.
Both of the diet plans are created to fit their respective fitness regimen. The Power 90 Fat Burner Food Plan paired with the Power 90 workout is a great starting point for people who really want to transform their bodies and their overall physical health. The P90X 3 Phase Nutritional Plan along with the 12 DVDs is for those people who may have already graduated from the original Power 90 or for those who are ready to take their bodies to the next level.

For anyone interested in my own experience with the Power 90 program I have written a blog about it http://mobinmob.blogspot.com
Nov 27, 2008 @ 13:10:50
Im in week 10 of P90X. I can do 85% of everything in the workouts. I still struggle doing multiple pull ups without the chair (although I can now do some where I could not before) and I definitely still tumble some in Yoga, but have made huge head-way. I probably obtain 225-250 reps in Ab-Ripper and about 80% of the reps in Plyo. The remainder of the workout I am achieving 100%. I am looking to complete before the holidays, perform the maintenance routine for 2 weeks and then jump back into something. Would you recommend going into Power 90, as I did not do? I went straight from a gym membership to P90X, not realizing the difference from doing the treadmill and weights to the unbelievable workouts in P90X. I really enjoy and want to continue to strive to match those in the p90X videos, I’m just not entirely there yet and want to mix it up a bit to be able to come back and perform at that level. I’d appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Hi Jason,
If you can get through the majority of the moves in P90X you’re going to find that Power 90 is not going to push you enough. Power 90 came first and P90X was born from Power 90. It really is a huge step up.
We recommend Power 90 to those individuals who don’t feel they are ready yet for P90X. In your case you are very close. I’m going to recommend that you stick with P90X so you can continue to see the type of results you’re after and because you are getting through about 85% of the program.
Best advice, you need to modify modify modify! Be sure to always engage in each and EVERY exercise for a given workout even if you have to modify. AND, be sure to always finish each workout all the way to the end. Like Tony says if you have to hit pause, HIT PAUSE!! Take a breath and get back into it. It’s absolutely crucial that you complete each workout from start to finish. Now, take down your notes on reps and weights. Be sure that each time you revisit a workout in the series, that you are looking to up your goals however little that may be, you need to continue to up the ante.
Don’t worry about having to use the chair for your pull ups! That’s why Tony demos it in the video! Building that level of upper body strength takes time and it takes dedication. What you need to do is make absolutely certain that you maintain good form as that will prepare you for pull-ups without the chair. Quality over quanity. Hit that pause button, complete each workout.
Go on to a second round of P90X and when you are ready you can graduate up to P90X Plus.
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/p90x-plus.php
Just take your time look at this as not a 90 program but as a personal mission to creating a new, healthier, stronger you. Each day you press play you have that opportunity!
You’re doing great stick with it!

I want to know if Power 90 will help me burn the fat I need to; will it be good even for a person who is somewhat out of shape the way I am?
Hi Erica,
Power 90 is definitely a good starting point and will deliver results if you are looking to eventually work your way up to P90X. However I would like to recommend that you take a look at 10 Minute Trainer or Turbo Jam, 2 programs that are very popular with women.
10 Minute Trainer:

Turbo Jam:

My boyfriend and I are starting P90x next week. I would consider both of us in pretty good shape. Although we have fallen off the wagon the past few months, we both used to go to the gym 4-6 days a week. He is looking to lean up and build a decent amount of muscle. I am looking to lose between 10-15 pounds, and since I already have a decent amount of muscle I am looking to really tone what I already have. Would you consider this program a wise choice for us to reach both of our goals?
Hi Marissa,
The P90X is a fantastic program for couples to team up and workout together. It’s absolutely geared toward both men and women because it allows you to choose how much weight and how many reps you feel is right for you. If you’re shooting for long lean muscle you’ll want to go for higher reps lower weight. Your boyfriend on the other hand would probably shoot for the opposite, heavier weight lower reps for more “bulk”. Also every DVD workout video (12 DVDs total) has both male and female participants so you’ll also get tips on what techniques and modifications work better for some women.
Additionally, as an alternative to the “P90X Classic Approach”, you may want to opt for the “P90X Lean Approach”. It’s for those who want a more cardio-based and slightly less focused on strength training but don’t be fooled it’s still extremely results oriented.
Really hope this helps and I hope you guys get a chance to take advantage of P90X together, having a workout buddy is a great way to keep each other on track and motivated during the 90 days.

I am trying to get back into shape, right now I look in good shape to others but I know that I am not in the same shape as I used to be and I am struggling with the motivation, dedication and dieting to get back to where I want to be. My main focus is to drop unwanted pounds, cut back up and get back into good cardio shape. Should I start out with the P90 or just jump straight to the P90X? I am not weak, I would say that right now I have the most difficult time with cardio or stamina. What do you recommend?
Hi Oscar, thanks for stopping by. For those who are in pretty good shape to begin with and feel confident that they can handle an hour long workout 6 days a week, we would always recommend P90X for the best possible results. It’s our #1 top selling program and for good reasons!
You’ll find P90X will give you a good mix of strength training and cardio routines. Don’t worry about dieting or starving yourself to lose weight. In fact most people have a hard time eating all the recommended food the P90X Nutrition Guide suggests each day. You’ll lose weight and gain muscle by eating the right types of foods that are healthy for you, and by sticking to the P90X workouts.
We offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee so if you find you’re not quite ready for P90X after purchasing it just send it back and go with Power 90. We really hope this helps give you some direction and more info on the program and we wish you the best luck with your mission to get fit. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we’re here to help!

Hi we are a group of friends and we want to exercise together some are in bad shape and a couple is being exercising we could only buy one wich one you recomend that we all could have resoults
Hi Polly,
The P90X is a great program that will get you results, but if you are in not so great shape, it may be too tough to try and tackle. If you would like to test yourself to see if maybe you are ready for the P90X, try the P90X Fitness Test:
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/pdf/p90x-fit-test.pdf
Do the various exercises and if you can successfully complete the requirements then you are ready for the P90X. If you cannot complete the fit test then we recommend you start with Power 90, the precursor to the P90X. Many people have had great transformations by starting with Power 90 and following up with P90X. However, if you can manage, P90X will really whip you into shape.
If you are working out in a group, Shaun T’s Hip Hop Abs might be a good choice. It’s fun, you get to dance, and you will start to have a great midsection. Exactly what we are all looking for!

http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/pdf/p90x-fit-test.pdf
If you can pass, you are in pretty good shape and are ready to start. If not, you may want to try the Power 90. This program has the same ideas as the P90X and is a great stepping stone.

I am looking into getting started working out but am not 100% sure what is for me, I am deciding between power 90 and P90x. I am trying to get into a program with the police force, and want to be in shape for everything, I am not in the best shape as of right now and need to know if it is still okay for me to start with p90x. Also i needed to know what products are required with buying each product and what already comes with each. Please help, thanks!
Hi Matthew,
We have had many individuals involved in the military as well as those in the police force take on P90X with great results!
If you’re looking to whip yourself into tip top shape, P90X is really the way to go. One question for you. What is your time frame. If you have 6 months to spare and feel a little hesitant about jumping right into P90X then with this amount of time you could start off with Power 90 and work your way into P90X (6 months = 180 days) as each program is 90 days long.
If not i’d say go for it and take the plunge with P90X. It’s a flexible program and you can modify your moves to gradually increase your performance.
To get started you’ll need either your own free weights or one of our resistance band kits:
Resistance Bands (Men)
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/resistance-bands-men.php
Resistance Bands (Complete)
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/resistance-bands-complete-kit.php
you’ll also want to checkout the P90X Chin-up bar, its really a crucial component to the system:
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/chin-up-bar.php
lastly you’re going to want to get going with the P90X Recovery Drink, it’s specifically called for in the Nutrition Guide:
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/p90x-products/p90x-peak-recovery-formula.php
This should get you going on the right track. For a complete list of all P90X equipment and supplements please see the following link:

Good luck and if you have any other questions don’t hesitate to ask.

I have Power 90 and Turbo Jam. I was using another program, and it seems to just build bulk. I want to slim down, not bulk, and lose about 15-20 lbs. Which of the two above would you suggest for slimming down? Thanks for your help!
Hi Erin,
I’d highly recommend Turbo Jam. It has a strong focus on cardio and the signature routines burn calories like crazy! Not to mention it’s actually a really fun and very popular system as it focuses on high energy moves and dance oriented exercises at it’s core. It’s a great system if you’re looking to slim down.
Feel free to check out the Turbo Jam product page for full details as well as to view some videos on the program:

I’m just looking into the P90X to do some cross training. I’m a long distance runner and spend 45-60 minutes per day training for upcoming half marathons. Running is my choice of exercise, but I realize I need strength training as well. And with 2 little kids wanting my attention, I don’t have an extra hour each day to do this every day in addition to my run. Will this program help me achieve a more toned/strong core if I would do it 1-2 times per week?
Hi Cindy,
P90X really is designed to be done 6 days a week, but the workout’s are phenomenal and I’d say you could benefit from doing as much as you possibly can, even if it is only 2 times per week.
In your case, because you’ll be scaling back the system, I would suggest that you watch all of the workouts to get a good feel for the entire system, then choose only those workouts that will assist you in the strength training department and avoid (if you absolutely have to) workouts like Plyometrics, Cardio X, Kenpo X etc. BUT, keep in mind these are killer workouts, and would undoubtedly improve your performace…
One thing I would recommend as it’s so hard for me to tell you to skip ANYHTING, but please if you have to pick and choose due to your schedule try to slip in the 15 min Ab Ripper X routine at least 3 times per week. you won’t regret it if you’re looking to help build that core. Good luck and hope this helps.
If there is any way that you can come up with a schedule that allows you to take on P90X as it is intended I would highly recommend it. It’s a program that has helped many athletes get into tip top shape, regardless of their sport.

I am currently on week 2 of P90X. After day 2 (plyometrics) I had convinced myself that I was not physically able to complete the workouts. But I kept pushing play and was so excited that I made it through week 1. I am still not able to complete 100% of the videos.
I’m pushing the stop buttong with 15 minutes left. I can’t do anymore. So I’m wondering if I will still see results? I weigh around 120 and started this program for gorgeous abs and muscle tone all over. I’m wondering if I should stick with the classic, change to the lean, or back down to P90 all together since I am unable to finish the entire classes?
Hi KC,
No worries here at all! You’re doing great. That first week is killer and many people struggle to complete the exercises as they’re just getting started. If you’re able to get that far, and you’re showing up everyday and pressing play, rest assured if you push yourself, you’ll find that in a week or 2 you’ll be able to complete these workouts.
There really is an adjustment period and once your body starts to adapt, it will get easier. P90X Lean approach basically has slightly less of a focus on the strength training element and a bit more cardio, and is definitely a great option. Either way, I’d say stick to it and don’t look back! Let us know if you have any other questions, we’re here to help.

I live in an apartment in NYC with fairly limited space and neighbors below me. I am curious as to how much space is really needed. And, I try to respect my neighbors. How much of the workouts require a lot of loud footwork? Can this program be done fairly quietly?
Hello Pastor JR,
The workouts do not require much space at all. IF you can take 4 big steps in the space you intend to workout in then you should be in pretty good shape.
A few of the workouts will require you to be jumping around a bit so the best recommendation for that would be to invest in a workout mat. Not only will it reduce the sound, but will also reduce the impact on joints. Please see the following 2 links on the mats we offer:

Hi Mielissa,
P90X is definitely more of a challenge but also a much more diverse and interesting program all together. Tons of variety, and because some of you are in pretty good shape you could help coach the rest of the group. I’d shoot for P90X, you won’t regret it!

I’ve always been an average size until I gave birth to two boys. Before kids I was 145lbs. After giving birth to my second child in May 2007, I am at my highest of 210lbs. I’m in pretty good shape especially with my cardio exercises,but I am having problems shedding the unwanted pounds. I started my “program” in January and lost 4lbs but fell off the wagon. I want to lose at least 50-55lbs and also build lean muscles with definition. Is power90x right for me for what I’m trying to do?
Hi Nikki,
If you’re looking for big results and that’s what it sounds like, we’d recommend looking into P90X or the the new ChaLEAN Extreme system which is just a shade less intense than P90X but also more geared toward women.

If I were to order all or most of the supplements such as, the Peak Health Formula, Recovery Formula, Meal Replacement Bars, ETC.. would I be “over dosing” on vitamins and minerals.. I mean seems like it would be impossible to do so, but I am wondering if it would be “over kill” to be taking all the supplements? (like wake up- take the health formula, work out- take the recovery formula.. blah blah blah.. I’m beginning to ramble.. I hope you understand the question.)
Hello Craig,
These supplements are designed to help you get through the P90X. Trust me when I say, you will need them! Many people take a multi vitamin every day. The P90X Peak Recovery Formula really helps you muscles repair right after your workouts. The P90X Peak Performance Bars give you the protein you need to build muscle and more energy to complete your workouts. These three supplements are actually recommended by Tony himself. Your body will certainly be using these supplements.

Hello Matt,
In your situation, you should consult your doctor before starting any workout program. Back injuries can be ongoing if you don’t take the appropriate time needed to recover.
The Power 90 can certainly strengthen your core, but you might want to present these workouts to your doctor for approval first.

I interested in the P90X system. I’m a skinny guy and looking to gain weight. I have been doing an extensive amount of research and throughout the reviews, I saw where the majority of the individuals have lost numerous amount of weight. I really don’t need to lose anymore weight then needed. I wanted to know if this system will help me gain weight (in a positive way)?
Hi Brandon P,
There are many people who contact us under the assumption that P90X is a weight lose program. But in fact it’s a home workout routine designed to get you into top physical condition. For those who are overweight this means they will loose weight. However, P90X takes into consideration that not everyone is the same. The nutrition guide will outline different approaches you can take as far as your diet is concerned.
Take a look at this article briefly describing the 3 phase nutrition Plan
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/articles/p90x/p90x-diet-3-phase-nutrition-plan.php
And this article on the 3 Approaches
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/articles/p90x/p90x-diet-3-approaches.php
What you’ll learn in the guide is that, if you are not looking to loose much weight then you will want to scale back the “Fat Shredder Phase” or skip it all together. You may even want to consider upping your carb intake. Also if you are looking to bulk up you’ll want to focus on more weight and less reps, this will lead to size, as opposed to less weight more reps which will build long lean muscle which it seems like you’re looking to avoid.
You can absolutely build muscle and increase your stamina, balance, and agility with P90X but, your body is unique to you, and everyone has a threshold. As hard as it might be for folks to loose weight, we have talked to many customers who say gaining weight is just as difficult. P90X has gained quite a following, amongst men and women of all sizes. You will certainly gain incredible results if you stay dedicated. With patience and determination, you’ll build muscle mass and definition, that’s impressive, yet it will realistic for your body type.
You may want to consider the P90X Peak Recovery Formula. Your body only builds muscle while at rest, during this recovery time you need to refuel and re-energize, the faster you recover the more muscle you can build. See the link below for more details.

Hi Darrin,
If you’re looking for big results then you should definitely try P90X. The P90X workouts are approximately 1hr (1 DVD) each day, 6 days a week, with the 7th day being a day or rest or optionally X Stretch.
P90X® Extreme Home Fitness System

You may also want to try P90X Lean. P90X Lean is an alternative program to P90X classic. It’s for those who want a more cardio-based and slightly less intensive program. It’s focus, as per the name, is on developing lean body mass. It is not a separate product, it’s a different route you can take with P90X. These approaches are outlined in the fitness guide that is included with your P90X.
Either way you decide to go, P90X has a workout for you. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

My husband and I are in our 5th week of P90X with great results but the next couple of months will become pretty hectic with work and 2 kids and my husband starting a new business.We think it will be hard to find the one hour everyday. Would the 10 minute trainer be more benfical or could you suggest making the P90X videos shorter? Any recommendations?
Hello Amie,
I would not recommend shortening the P90X workouts, because part of the workouts are warm up exercises and the rest are intense exercises. So you wouldn’t want to start your workouts with intense exercises from the jump, you want to ease into them with your warm up exercises.
The 10 Minute Trainer is perfect for those who are on the go a lot or for those that just want to get the workouts done with. Tony is still your host and you still get the intense workouts, only he’s condensed it down to 10 Minute intervals. Just what you may need for these soon to be hectic days.

I’m just not sure, between p90x and Chalean extreme..i had a personal trainer a few years ago, worked out like crazy went from a size 10 to a size 1-2 that was entirely toosmall for me so I have the endurance.. I’m 5’2 154 lbs my measurements as of 4/9/2009 are 40-36-48 im pretty hippy & solid I want to get rid of 14-19 lbs & reduce my waist 6 inches but i dont want to loose the shape and tone of my legs/thighs its more midsection/back than anything..Im looking to get that hourglass shape and keep it which would you recommend. and what equipement do I need to buy for p90x or chalean extreme?

Hi guys
Sorry I had to remeasure my self they are 40-36-42 i want to make sure you have accurate information..and my bf is at 42%. I know I have some serious working out to do… but that’s what I want a challenging program to push myself.. just not sure which will work for me p90x or chalean extreme.. what do you think?
Hello LH,
You are right, you have some serious working out to do, but that is OK because we have your back and we know you can do it.
I am going to recommend that you go for ChaLeans workout plan. I say ChaLean because her workout is geared more towards a womans body and a womans diet. ChaLean herself being a woman, I think she will be able to get you that body you are looking for. Both programs are excellent, but ChaLean is perfect for women.
As far as equipment, if you get ChaLean Extreme Deluxe, then it comes with everything you need. Weighted gloves and resistance bands. If you want to buy them separately, then all you need is some resistance bands and possible some weighted gloves.

I love P90X. I am on my second week and I am proud to say that I have completed all of the dvds without pause. I do have a problem. I am developing soreness in my knees. Please help. I do not what to stop the program because of it.
Hi Clayton,
I myself have knee issues and what works best for me is to back off those exercises that require me to push my knee a lot. Meanwhile, while you’re backing off the strenuous knee exercises, you’re going to start doing knee exercises to strengthen your knee so that you can work your way back into the P90X workouts with your knee.
The main exercise you are going to do requires a resistance band. You will sit yourself in a chair and tie one end of the band around your ankle and tie the other end around the chair leg. Now you will extend your leg forward and let the tension pull your leg back. You’re going to use slow controlled movements and do multiple reps until exhaustion.
My sports physical therapist made me do this one exercise after all 5 of my knee surgeries and this exercise alone, helped build the muscles around my knee that helped me continue in sports again.
If the pain continues, stop the workouts altogether and seek help from a professional.
Hope this helps, it helped me.

i have only lost 8 pounds or so, and my 6 pack seems to be a challenge……i work at it religiously and can keep up with all workouts…………suggestions for ripped abs??? Also run 15 miles a day and do extra P90X workouts….
i love it though, what a great investment…..

Congratulations on the wonderful gains. All I can say is, the more you stick to your meal plan, more fat you’ll lose and the more those abs will start to show. Keep up the great routine, only 1 month left.

My son is a high school senior and is interested in joining the marines. The Marine Physical Fitness Test includes
-Pull-ups 20 for Max Points
-Crunches 100 in 2 minutes for Max Points
3 Mile run 18 Minutes for Max Points.
He is planning on doing P90X for general fitness but is concerned about the run. Can you recommend an additional program for getting to 3 six minute miles?
Hello Steve,
P90X is going to help him with his six minute miles. Plyometrics, Kenpo X and Cardio X, are going to help him tremendously. They are intense workouts that will help him get his cardio up in no time.
Good luck to you both.

I absolutely LOVE P90X, you could say I’m an addict. I am currently in week 5. For some reason I CANNOT get the scale to budge. I am 5’5 and at 136.4 or 136.6 etc. My body fat percentage has come down some, but only a couple of percentage points. I was taking in between 1400 and 1700 healthy calories a day for the first 4 weeks, but just upped it to 1900 calories in case I wasn’t eating enough. Could that be the problem, or should I have dropped down to 1200 calories? I would really like to be between 125 and 130, I’ve been there before and it was a nice ripped look for me. Oh, I’m also 36, is my metabolism slowing down? Sorry so many questions! Thanks for helping!
Apr 22, 2009 @ 15:15:10
Oh, one more piece of information… I also walk my dogs at a brisk pace 4 miles a day. Sometimes I run 2 miles with them and walk the other 2 miles but lately I’ve just been getting in the brisk walk – heart rate around 115 or so.
Hello Marsha,
I don’t think that your metabolism is slowing down, especially since your staying so active. I would have to say that you might want to cut back on your calories and eat just enough to get you through your workouts. If you are not losing weight then it should be because your taking in more calories than you are working off. So try cutting back on the calories and keep up your workouts and you should see some changes soon.
Keep up the awesome job with your workouts.

Hi! My husband and I just started the program, today is our 5th day….it is certainly extreme! We love the program! Unfortunately we are also totally exhausted and sore beyond belief! But loving it none the less. I am trying to lose fat and tone up, he is wanting to build mass (he’s already lean)….but I got on the scale and I have gained 3lbs!! I do follow the diet, and supplement w/muscle milk lite shakes for snacks. Any ideas as to if the initial weight gain is normal? I know it can’t be muscle, we haven’t been on it long enough. And I’m not giving u p, just hoping you may have a plausible reason. Thanks!!! :O))
Hello JoAnn,
The weight gain is actually normal for a number of people. Some people seem to lose inches but gain weight in the first week or so. It is normal! So stick with it and stay on your diet and workout plan and you will start to see the results your looking for very soon. Keep up the good work, you can do it.

i use to workout before, but for last two years i didnt even do push up..i bought p90x but im very bad doing push-ups and pull-ups, i thought this program is very advance for me because i used chestr and back workout first..and after using that i wasnt able to workout for a week.. so i want to complete this program but really dont know where to start from? plzz help me with this..
Hello Mit,
The first thing you’re going to have to do is find some motivation. Anything that will keep you going towards your goal is the first thing you need. Without that, you will not be able to make it through any program. Next you’re going to start the program again, but this time you have to focus on doing only what you can and make sure you do not over exert yourself. You should be able to do a couple of push-ups and pull-ups the first day and then as each day goes on you should be able to do more and more as the week progresses. If you’re patient and push yourself, but not over exert yourself, then you should be doing a ton of push-ups and pull-ups in no time.
You can do it! Bring It!

I’m interested in the Power 90 however I also work out at the gym 5 to 6 days a week. I don’t want to give up jogging, but can I do the Power 90 and continue to jog? How would I fit in my jogging if the Power 90 is to be done 6 times a week? Can I do it possibly 3 days out of the week and get the same results?
Hello Danielle,
The success of the program relys on completing the program on the days suggested. You can easily, just add your jogging routine to your daily regiment and still do your Power 90 workouts at a different time of the day. The additional Cardio is only going to help you get into great physical shape sooner. Try to stay as close to the program as possible and don’t be afraid to add your jogging to your workouts.

hi, im a 15 year old teenager. i weigh 201.3lbs, 5foot 7in.,and i’ve been doing p90x for 1 day, so far it was actually pretty hard. I’ve been wondering, is it healthy for a child at my age to be doing a workout this hard? I know i can do it, i just don’t want to have a messed up life later on because I worked out to hard as a teenager. Also I was just wondering, is their any better way of losing weight then actually doing p90x?
Hello Bob,
Age isn’t a factor when it comes to getting into good shape. If you need to lose weight then taking action towards that is the best way to achieve that. It is not going to stunt your growth or mess up your life if you continue to do the P90X workout.
Lastly, the best way to lose weight may seem like a hard one, but it becomes easier as time goes by. That way is to eat with a healthy diet. The nutrition plan is going to be the biggest factor in helping you lose weight. If you have to choose between eating right and working out, then choose to eat healthy. Long after the 90 days of workouts with P90X, the only thing you’ll really have to count on to keep your weight down is your diet. So stick to your diet plan and continue with P90X and you will see results sooner than later.
You can do it Bob, Bring It!

when i was 15… I was about 5’4 150lbs about your size but shorter. i cut out junk food ran 4 laps around the park about = 1.5 miles, did some pilates or tae bo… I’d be sleeping by the time 3rd block science class started… but i definately did lose a ton of weight in1 – 2 months, within 60 days about 20 lbs… now I’m 22 5’7 128 lbs. I’ve gotten a little excessive over the past years and had my weight go down to about 115 which is a lil bit scary because i really looked like a skeletor with no shape and curves… try to avoid brain washing yourselve to reach unhealthy weights… find a realistic picture of how you want to look like… for example… find a nother male who is 5’7 same build so you know you can achieve that body… take a picture of yourself before and compare yourself to your goal picture later. this way you won’t go overboard and look scary. I remember a time when a guy friend and i went over board with diet and exersize… two of us put togehter was just about 200 lbs. not healthy, and definately not sexy! p90x is probably even better than whatever I was doing because i recieved it as a gift last year but decided to open it 3 days ago… I’ve lost 3 lbs already and feel more toned! I’ve also cut out all the cookies, pop, junk food except for coffee… I have 1 cup int he morning with cinnamon before or after breakfast, and 1 cup after dinner with 2 tsp of sugar. meh, i can’t help it. Apples aid weightloss as well, it helps the body digest the fat… try to eat the apples like a normal person (snacks). I once did apples and oranges all day along with my intense work outs… YES I GOT REALLY SICK. so it’s probably NOT A GOOD IDEA… I’ve tried many fad diets, work outs and i could really say today that curves was my number one place to go.. but tony horton feels like a personal trainer on your TV… this way i don’t feel embarrassed to push myself and look extra sweaty and gross cuz no one is looking!
Anyways, this is just my personal experience with exercise and dieting at a young age. all exercise programs always say to consult a physican before you begin any type of exercise regime.
I am not in any form or way providing any medical,health and physical exercise advice or advice to you or anyone else.
HERE’S A QUESTION FOR THE P90X STAFF… can i do kenpo x everymorning for cardio? and do my p90x work out schedule as planned? so that’s about 2 hours a day: kenpo x and another 1 hour video
or 1 hour of kenpo x plus ab ripper every other day…
alternating but this way i can do kenpo x everyday cuz im trying to quit smoking.
is that too much?
Hello Cee,
Adding a cardio to your existing workouts is never a bad thing, as long as you are keeping yourself energized enough to keep you from fainting or passing out. You don’t want to overexert yourself, so make sure you are keeping your body hydrated and full of energy. With that said, by all means, add that extra cardio routine. It will help you get to your desired goal even faster.

Hi–I’m looking to shed some lbs! I’m in good shape–I teach a cycling class 2 times a week and a toning class one night. But, still I am carrying about 10 extra lbs of pure body fat–mainly in my belly and glutes (like most women) – yep, I’ve had the pinch test and it’s fat.
I have no idea what workout to choose–I want lean muscle. I am prone to “bulking up” in my sholders (very broad) and back. So, I want to be lean, thin and feminie. I thought about the P90x because I saw somewhere, it says there is a slender series..?? or something like that…is that true? is this a series you pick on the DVD or do you just follow someone else in the DVD? I know it involved high reps…
Then, I saw the Power 90 Master Series and thought about it because it says you will lost lbs. Is this more geared toward women wanting to slim down? I don’t want the ripped body builder look….
Any suggestions? I’m not going to give up teaching, but I need a challenge to help me burn off this fat.
Thanks!

Hello Lauren,
I am going to suggest the ChaLean Extreme program for you. It is a program designed by women to help you get into great Lean physical shape. The goal of the program is even in her name, Cha”Lean”. She will help you lose that stubborn fat in the midsection and will keep you looking lean in the process. This is definitly the way to go for you.

Hi. I’m planning on starting a workout routine, and I’m curious as to what the Power 90 Master Series is? Is it for people who have completed Power 90, or is it a substitute for Power 90? I know that P90x is an extreme program for people who have completed Power 90, and I plan to reach that level of fitness eventually. But I’m not ready for it yet. So how do I know if I should do Power 90 or Power 90 Master Series?
Hi Jon,
The Power 90 Master Series is for those who have completed the Power 90 and would like to keep up the same type of workout but want more of a challenge. If you are just starting out, go for the Power 90.

Hi. I am looking for a fitness program that will fit my needs the best. I am currently 5 ft 6, and weigh 175lbs after having my 2nd child. I would like to lose between 20 and 30 lbs quickly, and get into good shape without a body builder type look. i currently take fitness classes 2 days.wk, run for 1/2 hour 3 days/week and do a mixture of hip hop abs and billy blanks – i am not finding that these dvds are working as i would like them to. Which program to you recommend?
Hi Christina,
Loosing weight after the 2nd baby is especially challenging, but It seems like you are making a genuine effort. If you are looking to loose weight and are not too concerned with increasing strength, speed, and overall athletic ability, you should try P90X Lean. This is the same program as the P90X, same exact DVD’s and fitness guide, it is just a different way to approach it. You will be focusing on the cardio workouts with a little bit of resistance training as well. Don’t forget about the Nutrition Plan. This is a very important part of the program, especially if you want to loose a significant amount of weight. This plan was designed to give you the energy you need to complete the workouts as well as allow your body to burn fat.

My wife, daughter and I ordered your P90X program from the infomercial and received it a couple of days ago. I was able to pass all the fitness test but my wife missed the wall squat by 20 seconds and cant do one pull-up at this time. We want to do the P90X and cant afford to order any of the other programs. Any recommendations or tips for continuing with the P90X program to get the most out of it? We are dedictated and very sincere about this as we both need to get back into shape. We are in our early 40s and feel like the 90X will great if we can get through the initial starting phase. Any advise you can provide would be greatly apprceiated.
Hi Charlie,
I would say start with the P90X with modifications. Tony Horton explains on each DVD how the moves can be modified if you cannot complete the exorcise how it is normally done. For example, the chin-ups can be done using a chair, resting your foot on the top of the chair for balance and for some extra help pushing yourself up. Or you can use resistance bands to simulate the chin-up bar exercises as Tony will also demonstrate. If you are dedicated and work towards mastering the moves first, you will eventually be able to do the chin-ups without the chair and may not have to modify any of the exercises.

I have just ordered P90 and I’m debating between buying resistance bands or free weights. My goal is to tighten up my abs and burn fat. But in addition I don’t want to lose muscle mass and I would like to bulk up some more. Would the resistance bands help me achieve my goals or should I invest in free weights?
Oscar,
You can certainly opt for the resistance bands without sacrificing results. They can give you the same resistance as free weights but without the extra bulk.

I want to lose about 8 pounds, but get rid of the “spongy” look and get leaner. I had a baby four years ago and I was in really good shape four years ago. I really haven’t done anything in the fours years since my son was born to keep in shape. My muscle tone is now pitiful and my body is totally “re-arranged”. Physically, I’m just not in good shape. Since I am not in good physical shape, even though I’m not very overweight, which workout system should I choose? P90?
Hi Haden,
The Power 90 is probably the best choice for you. The P90X may be difficult for people who haven’t really worked out in a while are not in good shape at all. The Power 90 will help you build up to a more advanced program, like the P90X. If you don’t have much time each day for a workout, try the 10 Minute Trainer. This is a short but intense workout that will certainly make you sweat.

Hello Isabel,
The P90X can work for you if you have your diet under control. You would be in need of some extra energy to complete this workout, so your diet may have to change a bit from what it is now. I would talk to your doctor about this and make sure your diet will be able to not only keep your energy levels up, but keep your glucose levels where they need to be.

Hi, I was wondering how the P90X system works? I have used power 90 before and know how that set up works and was wondering if p90x is similar? Do you work through each of the 13 dvds one at a time and then start over after 13 days or do you mix and match?
Hi Nicole,
The P90X is sort of the next step up from the Power 90. The P90X gives you have a specific schedule that you follow. You wouldn’t be doing disks 1-12 in order.

My wife and I are starting the p90x program, her to prepare for enlistment into the military, and me to get back into the shape I enjoyed while in the military. The problem is this, I really want to do the diet plan and whatnot on the website, but with times being as hard as they are we can’t really afford two club memberships for the diet plan, nor the shopping for two different sets of meals for each meal. Is there a couple meal plan? Also, we live in a fairly cheap apartment and there’s no place to set up a pullup bar. Is there an alternative to this? Our door frame isn’t strong enough to hold a pullup bar. =/ Thanks
Hello Josh,
You don’t have to be a club member to follow the Nutrition Plan, and you and your wife can enjoy the same meals. The portion approach would be the more affordable way to go. This way you choose the foods you eat from the approved foods list and put your own meals together. If you and your wife happen to fall under different nutritional categories, it might just be a matter of adding a little more to your plate.
For a alternative to the chin-up bar, try the resistance bands along with the band upgrade kit. This will allow you to do modified versions of the chin-up exercises. You wont be using your body weight as resistance, so it will be a little easier.

Hello,
I am still on the fence about purchasing the P90X because I’ve had a shoulder arthroscopy. My shoulders are weaker than the rest of my muscle groups. so push ups and shoulder exercises are difficult for me to do. Are there ways I can modify the exercises in this case – like easy, moderate and hard versions of the routines?
Thank you,

Hello Erica,
Some of the shoulder exercises do have modifications, but not all of them. I would talk to your doctor about using this program. Normally, you should be injury free before you start. It’s a pretty intense program.

I’m almost finished with p90X. I’ve loved it, and seen great results. I’m going to continue to do p90X once per year, but I don’t have the time in my schedule to devote to it year round. I have a job and young children. I feel I can devote 30-45 minutes per day, but not 1 hr plus. I’ve tried the 10 minute trainer (30 minute option) it was alright but a little to feminine for me. I’m considering the original power 90. Will I find it to be similar to p90X with a little less of a time commitment? I want to stay in shape and stay ready for P90X again next year. Bring it!
Hello Kyle,
Power 90 is very similar to the P90X. In fact it is the precursor to the P90X so there are a lot of the same ideas in the two programs. Power 90 program is a little less intense than the P90X, and yes, less time consuming. I think this would be a great idea while waiting to start up the P90X again.
-Mike
Staff
Hello Kyle,
Power 90 does have similar ideas and exercises as the P90X, and the workouts are a little bit shorter. they are a little less intense, but it’s better to keep it moving rather than take a break for 9 months! This would be a perfect way to stay in shape and keep in shape for your next round of P90X. Actually a great idea that I just might have to try my self!

My husband and I are on the 6th day of week one. We are doing the p90x classic. If our main goal is to lose weight and get lean should we be doing the p90x lean program or should we just stick to what we are doing. Thanks, Dana
Hey Dana,
the Lean approach is for those who’s main concern is loosing weight and are not as interested in building muscle. You can still get lean with the classic approach. It’s all about how you approach it. Choosing lighter weights and doing 12-15 reps will give you a leaner build rather than heavier weights and 8-10 reps. If you would rather do more cardio than anything, do P90X Lean. Also, the Nutrition Plan will give you a balanced diet that will allow you to burn maximum calories.

Hi Dana,
if your main goal is to lose weight and tone, I would do the lean approach. The classic approach is a more all around program that can help you to gain muscle and improve overall athletic ability.

Just about my entire family have done P90X and love it (and seen great results) so I figured I would give it a shot myself. I was planning on starting the full program next week with my wife and as prep tried the KenpoX workout but found myself quitting 15 minutes in due to the complexity of the moves. I prefer more weight work and less of that multi-movement kickboxing/cardio. I can handle a little bit of the cardio stuff, but alot of it just frustrates me. Would Power 90 be a better fit?
Hello Mark,
Power 90 is similar to the P90X. There is a mixture of cardio and resistance. If you are having trouble with Kenpo and Plyometrics, you can always go for a run or hop on a machine at the gym. It is important to exercise the heart and lungs.
-Mike
Staff
Hi Mark,
Most of P90X is resistance work. On the second day of your week you will do Plyometics, but the moves are fairly easy in terms of coordination and you do the same move for 30 seconds or a minute then stop before you start another move. The 4th day of your week is Yoga X which does take some coordination, but is very slow and you will have time to perfect you’re moves. Other than that, Kenpo X is the only other workout that you will have an issue with. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are all resistance days. Tuesday and Saturdays are cardio, Thursdays and Sundays are your stretch/rest days. That is if you start your workout week on Monday. Power 90 is similar, but the workouts aren’t as tough. Sort of like a starter workout to get ready for the P90X. You might want to start there if you don’t feel like you can finish the P90X. Take the P90X fitness test to help make up your mind:

I am debating weather I should try the p90x program or the ChaLean program. I am looking to drop about 30 lbs. I did pass the fit test for p90x, but wasnt sure if that or the other program would be the best way to drop pounds fast.

I have been doing ten minute trainer for a while no and i love it,my ? can i now start the p90 and will it get me to the next level i finally have a six pack thank you tony
Hi Bob,
the Power 90 would be the next step, one step close to the P90X! Keep up the good work Bob!

I can now comment on my own question (#69 above). Yes, Power 90 is a MUCH better fit for those of us who have been sedentary and may be more out of shape than P90X. The exercise periods are only 30 minutes a day and rotate between sculping (weightwork) and cardio/abs. If you are a masochist and more coordinated than I or ready for a very intense workout go P90X. If you are looking to get back into working out and want to start off at a lower intensity, go Power 90.
Just FYI, I got my Power 90 DVDs last week and love them.
Sep 19, 2009 @ 14:09:13
I’m interested in buying the Power 90 set. I have a belly that is not tight and I am wondering if I purchase the Power 90 and do everything right and finish it, will I be toned in the stomach and have tight abs?
Hello Daniel,
your results are only as great as the effort your put into your workout. Tony will give you the exercises you need to flatten your stomach and build up muscle everywhere, but you need to find your intensity level and go there every time. If you put 110% into your workout everyday, you will be happy with the end result.

Hi Daniel,
if you stick to the workouts and stick to the nutrition guide, your stomach will improve. How much depends on the effort you put into your workout.

Hi,
I just started with P90x, and it’s killing me! ha ha ha. Today is only my third day and even though i’m enthused about it, my body is aching so bad that i’m wondering if i’ll be able to finish. I’ve already done chest & back, finished the whole thing, some moves where very hard but I did everything on the video, some 30, 25, 15, 10 reps and in one particular move could only achieve 6, but finished the whole hour. Ab RipperX was the toughest ab workout i’ve done ever! was able to do 222 reps… and Plyo almost killed me….seriously that’s some hard stuff there, but was able to do all the moves all the reps, even though i modified most of the moves it was still challenging!
Is it normal to feel this pain all over? i want to keep pushing play! need a little support over here….
Thanx L
Hello Leila,
don’t worry. I think everyone who starts the P90X is sore for at least the first two weeks. I know I was! It is totally normal! I think Tony came up with the Plyometrics workout while he was pissed off. It is hurtful and mean! Ab Ripper too! It’s not that hard to do 339 crunches if you take a little break after every hundred or so, but the moves you have to do with Ab Ripper X are just hard! But trust me when I say, if you stick with it, keep doing your best every time, even if you have to modify, you will get better each week. The soreness will start to go away, you will be able to do more ab ripper reps, you won’t die after Plyo. Trust me, I went through the same thing! Just keep putting that DVD in and “Bring it” every time!
-Mike
Staff
Yes Leila! This feeling is normal!! P90X is no joke and kicks most people’s butts!!! You might feel sore as hell before you start another workout, but once you get warmed up, you will be able to get through it because P90X’ers work through the pain!!! Bring it on! Be sure to do the cool down after each workout and it wouldn’t hurt to do a little extra stretching. The recovery formula is GREAT for muscle soreness. Try it:

Hi,
I am in my second week of P90X. Before P90X I did Plyo legs from the master series on Mondays Core Cardio on Tuesdays and the remaining days I did cycling for at least 90 minutes a day…lots of intervals and resistance. Over the summer I had some time off and most days was able to put in at least an additional hour of cycling everyday (avg mph 18-20) and was riding up to 200 miles per week. Most weeks, since June, I was exercising for 18-20 hours a week. My workouts were tough and I used core cardio and plyo legs as “rest days”. My concern is that P90X is a drastic drop in the # of hours spent exercising and I am concerned about weight gain. My diet is clean and I am conscious of what I eat and why I am eating it. I have dropped my calorie intake while on P90X but have already seen the scale rise by 4lbs in 10 days of P90X. I like the program but I am concerned about the drop in exercise and potential weight gain. Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello G,
wow. Your previous routing seems to be much more demanding and you caloric burn was probably much higher than with the P90X. With the P90X, you work out for less than 10 hours per week. You were talking 18-20 of exercise per week. That’s amazing really. Your not burning as much now which is probably why your weight is going up. You could also be gaining muscle. Perhaps you can integrate the P90X into your 18-20 hours of working out as you were doing with the Power 90 workouts. Maybe you could do the P90X in the morning, then continue with your cycling each day. It would be better to replace something with the P90X workouts rather than scrap everything for it, in your case.
-Mike
Staff
Hi G,
I would say so!! P90X would be a little bit of a step down. 1-1.5 hours a day can’t really compare to your previous schedule! Perhaps you can replace something you already do with P90X. Add it to your crazy schedule instead of replacing everything with it.

My wife and I are toying with the idea of p90x or Power 90. After reading alot of the posts here it looks like Power 90 is more for us at this point. Neither of us have EVER worked out. We are overweight and out of shape but not obese, i dont think. I am 34, 5,9 and 210. Most of my weight is in my waist and chest area. I am wondering if the fact that I have never worked out and built any kind of muscle, will I still be able to see results? I am skeptical mainly due to lack of knowledge of workouts and nutrition. I would like to get the weight off and define some muscles too. I am not too interested in bulk but wouldnt argue if it happened. I just dont know enough about Physical Fitness to feel good about the investment. Would you comment on my position?
Hello Mike,
for someone who has never worked out, your right, the P90X wouldn’t be right for you. Starting with the Power 90 is definitely more reasonable. The workouts will make you feel better, after you get over the fist week of soreness, and you will be healthier and in better shape. But you have to eat right too. Follow the diet plan. This is usually the deal breaker when it comes to really loosing weight. You can workout until your blue in the face, but if your not eating right, you wont get the full effect of the exercise you are doing.
Here is a tip for weight training:
If you want bulk, or definition at the least, go for heavier weights and only do 8-10 reps. If you can do 11, you need a heavier weight. Your last two reps should be hard.
If you want to get lean muscle and tone up, use lighter weights and to 12-15 reps. Your last two reps should be hard.
I hope I was able to help!
-Mike
Staff
Hi Mike,
I would say that Power 90 is the better choice for you. If you stick to the workouts and follow the nutrition guide, you will start to burn fat and build muscle. You will of course be able to feel a change fairly quickly, but visually you will start to slim down first. Then eventually you should be able to see those muscles start to shine through!

My husband and I are both 50 and have been doing p90X for 7 months with great results. We both love the workouts. Time is a problem, would the power half hour keep us in shape?
Hello Deb,
wow! It’s great to hear that you two have stuck with it for so long!
If you check your fitness guide, you will find a small section on maintenance. You would basically have to do one day of Yoga, one or two days of cardio and three days of resistance only doing the first round cutting the workout down to about 30 minutes. So the schedule for maintenance is pretty much the same, except you are cutting the resistance down to 1 round and possible omitting one cardio workout. So your resistance days would only be cut to 30 minutes.
The Power Half Hour sort of combines cardio and resistance training into one workout. It’s like a multi-tasking workout. You are working your muscles while keeping your heart rate up and burning calories. You could probably do Power Half Hour and maintain your results if not make them a little better. Of course this has not yet been proven! Well, I haven’t heard from anyone who has done this! Try it! If you don’t feel challenged, go back to do the P90X maintenance.
Extremebodyworkout.com does have a 30 day return policy if you want to try it out.
-Mike
Staff
Hey Deb,
Power Half Hour might be a good way to maintain results. If you look in the fitness guide, it will tell you that doing half of the resistnace wokouts and two days of cardio should keep up your new figure. So a 30 minute workout just might to the trick.

Hello Jennifer,
the Power 90 is pretty similar to P90X, but just getting into better shape prior will get you ready for P90X. Power 90 is the pre-curser to P90X if you want something similar.

I haven’t read much about age recommendations in your posts. I am 48, 5’10″ and 230 lbs. I am at a moderate fitness level and play hockey once a week. I would like to get a program that both my wife and I can do together to burn fat and lose inches. Building cardio stamina certainly couldn’t hurt either. Which program would you recommend for someone my age and fitness level?
Hello Doug,
there really isn’t an age restrictions on these workouts. As long as you are healthy and able-bodied, you can do any one of these programs. If you want extreme resutls, go with P90X. If you are looking for something shorter, the Power 90 or Power Half Hour would be good. For building stamina, I thinkg the best program would be Turbo Jam. You are constantly moving and it’s fun too.

Hello Tony and staff,
I am a 43 yr. old female, 5’2 and only 105 lbs. I am looking forward to starting the P90 workout soon. I would really like to focus my attention on building up my legs, thighs, butt and abdomen muscles. Unfortunately, I do not know exactly how to tackle these areas of interest. However, I am not looking forward to losing weight. My goal is to gain weight (15 lb.) and build muscles. However, I do not want to build up upper body muscle. It seems like whenever I worked out in the past my upper body seemed to develop more rapidly than those areas of interest I mentioned earlier. End results were not satisfying. Would you please point me in the right path to success??? I can only hope to achieve this with your support.
Now in respect to the resistance band. Do I really need the whole resistance band kit for starters of what? Can I just purchase them later or does the P90 require all of them for my workout now?
Thank you in advance!
EE
PS Your program looks and sounds promising and I cannot emphasize enough my eagerness to start BRINGING IT ON!!!!
Hello Elizabeth,
the P90X workouts will definitely build muscle, which will allow you to gain some weight. I am assuming that your diet does not need to be changed if you are 105 lbs. You might need to eat more protein which will feed your muscles and allow them to build.
TIP:
Heavier weights + 8-10 reps = bulkier muscles
Lighter weights + 12-15 reps = lean muscles
Try for more reps and lighter weights at the top and heavier weights and less reps at the bottom.
You don’t need all of the bands to begin with, but you might find as you progress through the program that you will need something heavier. If you think three weights will be a good fit for you, try the Women’s kit:

I am currently doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred each morning with an extra hour of cardio in the evening. I am toned and in shape, but is that enough for P90X? I am in my second 30 day cycle with Jillian right now, and will have completed 3 cycles before I start P90X. Thanks!!

I am currently 25 years old, 5’4 and near 160 pounds. I used to be in much better shape due to playing basketball. However, now I have a job sitting in front of a computer all day and haven’t been motivated to work out. My problem areas vary but I could definitely stand to tone down and lose weight all over.
I have been interested in p90X since I first heard about it. However, I fear that once I start the program, I won’t be able to do the workouts. I could probably make it through the dvds but I know that the quality of my effort wouldn’t be that great. I know that if I don’t have proper form, then the workouts won’t be as effective. So which program should I start with??? P90 or P90X? I was thinking starting with P90 and moving up to P90x once I finished, but I just thought I would post here to see if I could get any insight. Any advice would be great!

My husband just got the P90X. I would like to do it also but I am afraid I am just going to bulk up and not loose weight or fat. i would like to get tone but I still have about 20 lbs to lose. Will the P90X get me what I am looking for?
Hi Tenille,
the P90X is not all about bulking up. In fact, that is your choice. Choosing lighter weights and doing 12-15 reps will build lean muscle. Building muscle in general will help your metabolism go up and you will be able to burn more fat when you work out. Following the diet is very important if you want to loose weight. In order to get muscle definition, you have to first lower your body fat percentage. So yes, you will loose weight if you follow the program and stick to the Nutrition Plan.

Hi I’m 13 days into P90 and very happy I chose to start with that. I plan to do the workouts untill they are easy and then move onto P90X (I started with 2-2 and can do everything at 100% except the push-ups and crunches). My question is I want to tone up but I don’t want to add a lot of bulk. Should I go with the pull-up bar or the tension band kit. I’m already useing the bands with extra reps to build lean muscle… I’m just not sure which would be better.
Oh and I’m male, 6′ 1″ and 150 lbs. Before starting P90 my only exersie was my daily morning run (1-3 miles).
Jan 06, 2010 @ 14:23:36
Hi Josh,
I would stick with the bands if you want to stay lean. Using the chin up bar will force you to use your own body weight as resistance, which is 150 lbs in your case. More weight will cause more definition.

Hi. My fiance and I just started P90X last Sunday. We are both in our mid-30′s and not in great shape but not terribly overweight either (he needs to lose about 20lbs and I need to rearrange it).
He bought the program as a “Christmas gift” to both of us, so I had never heard of it before. As I’ve read about it, the point that really stands out is the Nutrition plan is essential. This has me a bit concerned and wondering if we should exchange it for Power 90. Between our work schedules and actually doing the exercises, there is very little time left to spend the time needed in the kitchen to follow the meal plan. We have been trying to use it as a guideline and eat less carbs during the “fat burner” phase but I’m concerned that we might not be getting enough calories (since I have been hungry all the time since starting). We also don’t have the funds to purchase all the supplements (recover formula, protein bars, drink, etc). What do you think?
Thanks!
Hi Amy,
I think you can still manage it. Try and do simple breakfasts and lunches. Have an egg white scramble for breakfast (add some veggies and cheese) and a tuna wrap, tomato soup, or chicken salad for lunch. Dinner doesn’t have to be complicated either. Choose a meat, add some veggies and maybe some brown rice or whole wheat pasta. I know the plan can seem overwhelming at first, but I think the portions approach is best for people who are busy and can’t spend a lot of time cooking. There are also quick options towards the back of the nutrition plan that can make following this diet much easier for people on the go. If you have time for the workouts, I would stick with the P90X. You just have to do a little planning ahead for your meals.

I just had a quick question regarding Power 90 as well. I’m planning on ordering it today, but I was wondering if it would make any sense to follow the p90x nutrition plan while doing Power 90. Has anyone done this successfully or should I just stick with the Power 90 nutrition plan that comes with it?
Hi Justin,
I would stick with the Power 90 nutrition plan if you are doing that workout. The P90X is a more intense workout which will require a slightly different diet.

I am a female and have not worked out much in the past year, but prior to that I worked out faithfully and enjoyed lifting heavy weights. I will not be able to do the p90x workout because my house is not equipped to do the pullups or the plyo workout. I am looking to lose a few pounds but to also build muscle. Would you recommend the power 90 workout or the chalean extreme workout? With either of these workouts, can you use dumbells or do you need to use bands? Also, how much floor space is required for each of these? Thanks.
Hi LL,
If you liked lifting weights, go with the ChaLEAN Extreme. This workout is all about lifting. You can use either bands or dumbbells. You would need enough floor space where you can do a couple of lunges in any direction I would say. But try working with what you have anyway!
Power 90 has a similar plyometrics workout.

Hi, I had a baby 10 mths ago and are looking to loose about 20lbs. Before I got pregnant, I worked out with a personal trainer and was in pretty good shape. I have not worked out in over a year. Because of time constraints, I am not able to get to the gym anymore. My husband and I are both looking to start an exercise program and are looking for a suggestion on what to buy. Problem is we are both looking for 2 different results, but only want to buy one program. We thought about doing the P90X, but are concerned we will not be able to complete it and will stop. Can you suggest what program to buy that will benefit both of us?
Hello Brandin,
I think the P90X is perfect for a couple looking for different results actually. There are different approached to this program that will allow you to focus on weight loss or do a more all around fitness program. You can build lean or bulky muscles. This program is very flexible and you have choices. Plus, it is easier to make dinner when you are both following the Nutrition Plan!

I am trying to get back into shape, right now I look in good shape to others but I know that I am not in the same shape as I used to be and I am struggling with the motivation, dedication and dieting to get back to where I want to be. My main focus is to drop unwanted pounds, cut back up and get back into good cardio shape. Should I start out with the P90 or just jump straight to the P90X? I am not weak, I would say that right now I have the most difficult time with cardio or stamina. What do you recommend?
Staff
Hi Oscar, thanks for stopping by. For those who are in pretty good shape to begin with and feel confident that they can handle an hour long workout 6 days a week, we would always recommend P90X for the best possible results. It’s our #1 top selling program and for good reasons!
You’ll find P90X will give you a good mix of strength training and cardio routines. Don’t worry about dieting or starving yourself to lose weight. In fact most people have a hard time eating all the recommended food the P90X Nutrition Guide suggests each day. You’ll lose weight and gain muscle by eating the right types of foods that are healthy for you, and by sticking to the P90X workouts.
We offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee so if you find you’re not quite ready for P90X after purchasing it just send it back and go with Power 90. We really hope this helps give you some direction and more info on the program and we wish you the best luck with your mission to get fit. Please let us know if you have any other questions, we’re here to help!
i have the same situation as oscar, so i wanted to add a follow-up quesiton to your answer to Oscar i can do the one-hour exercises, but my ocncern is the 6 days a week . life is busy.
Hello Jesse,
I understand that you are busy. Working out six days a week for an hour can be difficult to juggle with a job, maybe kids, and actually having a life. I find it is so much easier to manage this program in the mornings. Some of us (me) are not morning people and this might be a problem. If you usually get up at 8, try waking up at 6 (i know…super early) and doing your workout then. It might be hard at first, but you will feel good about the fact that you don’t have to worry about working out during a lunch break, after work, or before bed. Get it out of the way early. Before showering, before breakfast, before work. If you already get up at 6, this suggestion might not work for you!
Otherwise, do what you can. You might not get the typical P90X results if you don’t follow the schedule exactly, but doing some is better than doing nothing!

Hi, I received a new P90X DVD box set as present, unfortunately no book came along with it. Although I’m familiar with the other programs (Slim in 6, P90…) I haven’t actually done them and have only done the cardio slice in this set because I’m not sure how to stich together the work outs ie. which one do I do first, do I progress into some of the routines do I do two workouts a day-you know what I mean. I’m in kind of a different situation I’m coming of an injury that, although not that serious, kind of left me somewhat inactive for several months and I got soft. I’ve been cleared by my flight surgeon back to full flight status and no physical restrictions, I’ve been an athlete all my life I know how to push myself hard but smartly I just need a little guidance for the program. One last consideration, I’m redeploying back overseas and while I should be able commit the time everyday and gym facilities are available I wondered if using the bands would be able to get me max results? Any help would be appreciated especially diet tips since the dinning facility will be THE food source-no shopping available. I’m committed and I’ve only heard great things so I’m excited.
Thanks
Klint
Hello Klint,
your P90X should have come with a fitness guide and nutrition plan. If you need a replacement, please contact customer service:
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/customer-service.php
The bands are great resistance tools and are pretty effective, but a 15 pound band does not feel the same as a 15 pound dumbbell. Having said that, you might have to use a band weight that is higher than a dumbbell weight you would normally use.
Because you are limited when it comes to food choices, you just have to make the best of your situation. Try and limit your carb intake and stick to whole grains. Go for lean meat and low fat dairy products. You might be able to follow the portions approach while deployed. This way you can choose the foods you eat.
Good Luck!

I am looking to flatten and tone my stomach, thighs, and arms. I am just wondering what program you think I should be using? I am not really looking to get bulky just slim and toned.
Thanks
Hi Ashley,
that depends on where you are in terms of fitness. If you are up to the challenge, I would do the P90X Lean approach. This approach focuses more on cardio, losing weight, and toning up. The P90X is a difficult program so you might want to opt for the Power 90 which is very similar to the P90X, but less intense.
Take this fitness test. If you can pass, I would start with P90X and go for the lean approach. If you can’t pass, start with the Power 90.

I’ve been working out at home for the last year using the workouts on exercise TV and find most of them too easy. I run about 2 days a week and train at an 8 min mile pace. I’d like a workout that I can do in 30-45 minutes but I’m not sure if the Power 90 will not be challenging enough. I’d try the P90X but I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the time to put into it. What would you recommend?
Hello Kristin,
if time is a serious issue, I would start with the Power 90. The workout time ranges from 29-42 minutes where as the P90X workouts are mostly 60 minutes, with a 90 minute Yoga routine. Also, doing the Power 90 will get you ready for the challenge of the P90X if you ever wanted to venture down that road.

Hi, I’m currently doing p90x I also have the 10 minute trainer. I really didn’t like the 10 minute trainer but I loved the power 90 dvd that came with it. I’m just starting the 3rd week with p90x I love tony but don’t really like the work outs. I don’t sweat at all in the cardio and Kempo. The legs and back and shoulders and arms I like. I hurt my self with the abs. My question is because I really do love Tony but not feeling p90x should I try power 90? thanks…Susan
Hello Susan,
the Power 90 is similar to the P90X, but not as intense. If you didn’t like the P90X, you might not like the Power 90 either.
There is also the Power Half hour. Power Half Hour is effective thanks to the science of Power Shaping. Power Shaping sculpts muscles while keeping the heart rate up. This means that while you are toning, you are burning fat! Multi-tasking at its best, Power Half Hour can transform your entire body on your time!

I’m a 57 years old female and I want to loose about 45 lbs. I’ve got a menopausal gut, I’m healthy but not in shape. What program do you have for me???
Hi Liz,
there are a bunch of programs to choose from. What type of exercise do you enjoy or know you will stick with?
-Mike
Feb 15, 2010 @ 16:55:40
I usually don’t stick to anything.
Maybe weights – would Chalean extreme work for me? or is that too advanced?

I currently weigh 300 pounds. I have started doing some basic cardio and resistance band training on my own over the past couple of months (I’ve lost 12 pounds this way). I am considering starting the Power 90 program. Is this something you would recommend for someone of my size, or should I look to lose some more weight before beginning?
Thanks.
Hi Joe,
Power 90 is a great starter program. Something like the P90X might be too advanced for you at this point, but working with the Power 90 will certainly get you ready to take that next step.

Hi, I am a 21 year old female. I weigh around 250 at 5’4 tall. I have recently started a diet program but I would like to begin a work out program from home. What would you suggest? Should I first lose more weight. I have never been very active and not very limber. I am desparate and commited to losing weight so I will do what it takes.
Hello Jessica,
I would suggest the Power 90. This is a great starter workout program that will help you reach your weight loss goals. Finish Power 90 and move on to the P90X for extreme results!

Hi there,
I’ve been reading the various comments here on the site and I’ve been intrigued by the idea of P90x, however, I must be honest I am a little wary about the intensity at the moment. I’m 5’5, male, weighing at about 163lbs, I used to be in my highschool Rugby team but that was like 5 or so years ago and I have been thinking of getting into peak fitness as I plan to join the Canadian Armed Forces. I have gained alot of fat around my body since Highschool (especially around my waist and legs) and want to lose my weight and gain back my strength – I should also mention that I can do 30 pushups easily as a strength and endurance test and I regularly go for 7km walks around Toronto. So I’m torn between p90 and p90x…I personally feel I can take p90x on, but I’m worried that my body won’t be able to handle it as I’m not used to strenuous exercise as of late. So what would you recommend? Any advice you can give would be really appreciated.
Feb 19, 2010 @ 14:33:11
Hello Ali,
try the P90X fitness test. If you can pass, you can handle the P90X. If not, start with the Power 90.

Hi,
I am a 31 yr/o woman who is severely overweight (5ft and 176lbs) and not fit at all. I am looking for a way to whip myself into shape. I want to do the work and am committed to not wimping out. I want to lose weight obviously and become fitter & more muscular, but lean muscles, not bulky. A friend of mine (female) has P90, is in week 3 I think, and is very happy with it, however she wasn’t nearly as fat as I am starting out. I saw a little bit of the sculpt video and there was a woman on there that didn’t look like she was bulky, but reading the advice given to other woman the prevalent advice seems to be ChaLean. So my question, is P90 for me, or should I go with another program?
Feb 20, 2010 @ 07:29:38
Oh, I should probably also add that I have never been an athletic or sporty person, which is another thing i’d like to change from now on.
HI Michelle,
Power 90 is a great starter program for those who might not be in great shape to begin with. This program will help you to lose weight and gain lean muscle. Just choose lighter weights and do 12-15 reps per exercise.
There is a good amount of weight lifting in the ChaLEAN extreme, and the idea is to use heavier weights to push yourself until failure. Chalene Johnson will tell you that her program will not make women bulky. The technique and the combination of exercises were created to make you lean, not bulky.
The thing to think about is do you like to lift weights? There is much more resistance training in the ChaLEAN Extreme. Both programs are great and have given people great results. Although In my opinion, I think starting with the Power 90 would be a better choice for you.
-Mike
HI Liz,
ChaLEAN Extreme is perfect if you like weights. It’s not too advanced because you can set your own goals and use the weights that you are comfortable with.

I am planning on ordering the Power 90 but I want to know if its going to make me bulk up. Im a female 31 yrs. 5’1″ 122. I am not overweight but am very out of shape and have a big tummy bulge. Im ready to get into a workout and get into shape. Is the Power 90 right for me? will it help me slim down or just bulk up?
Feb 23, 2010 @ 14:59:55
See above
Feb 23, 2010 @ 15:02:25
Hi Wendy,
Power 90 will not make you bulky. This program will slim you down, shed some body fat, and create lean muscle mass. As I told Michelle, choose lighter weights and go for 12-15 reps per exercise. This will prevent bulky looking muscles. It takes a lot of time and training to actually get bulky with really heavy weights, so you have nothing to worry about except looking and feeling better!

Hi!! I’m 39, 5’8 and 170 lbs. Not happy. I worked out about a year and a half ago with a trainer before my wedding…with great results in a short time…he kicked my butt! I was 145 lbs on my wedding day. Bought a house, don’t want to spend that money again. I was always thin. Never more than 135 lbs up until about 4 years ago. I think my metabolism has just stopped! I want to lose weight and tone. I recently purchased P90X, but after reading these posts, am left wondering if I should start with another program. My main goal right now is to lose weight. Thanks!
Feb 24, 2010 @ 05:02:51
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the respose!
I’ll definitely be looking at that test.
Feb 26, 2010 @ 16:48:04
Hi Mike,
My Wife is really wanting to get serious about getting in shape. Her work schedual really doesn’t allow her time to go to a gym before or after work for a 30-60 minute workout. I on the other hand work nights and after work go straight to the gym pretty much 5 days a week. We would really like to start saving money and start a training program that we can do from home. My wife is hesitant to start out with the P90X becuase she is afraid it would be a little to much for her and she would end up quitting so she ordered the ChaLean dvd set. Is this a good program for the both of us or should we consider returning it for the Power 90? We plan on starting the P90X right after we finish the set we end up going with.
Mar 01, 2010 @ 13:54:44
Hi Jill,
try the fitness test. If you can pass, I would start with the lean approach if your main goal is weight loss. If you can’t pass the fitness test, I would start with Power 90.

I am currently 40-50 lbs overweight but I am some what athletic. I am having a hard time deciding between power 90 and p90x? If I am looking to shed body weight which program would be best fit for me ? Is it possible to lose that much weight on these programs?
Mar 02, 2010 @ 15:06:16
Hi Andrew,
the ChaLEAN Extreme would be a good program for you both to do. This program focuses on weight lifting, but you can choose your weights to make the program work best for you. Stick with the ChaLEAN Extreme, it will get you into better shape and get you ready for the P90X.
-Mike
Sorry. There are lots of posts to answer. See above.
Mar 02, 2010 @ 15:09:54
Hi Tammy,
it might be possible, but you really have to work hard and follow the diet. The diet plays a huge role with the weight loss. The heavier you start out, the more pounds you will shed compared to someone starting off at a litter weight. I would say 30 pounds is a more reasonable weight loss goal, but that can vary because of your weight. Take the fit test for the P90X first. If you can pass, go for it. If not, try the Power 90 first. This is a little less intense and will get you ready for the P90X.

Well, I have a bit of an issue here. I have REALLY let my weight get away from me, and I need to fix it. A little background: I am 19 years old, 6′ 5″ and around 40-60 lbs overweight (not really sure what my target weight should be because I come from a large [not overweight] family). I play 4.0 level tennis regularly, and I can do most sports, including rock climbing, with slight extra challenge due to my size. I took the P90X fit test and had no problems with anything besides upper body stuff. My shoulder are weak muscularly, and my core is lacking. My concern is that if I get Power 90 it may not be challenging enough, which to me is just as bad as being too much. Thoughts
Mar 08, 2010 @ 17:53:50
Okay so I’m basically sold on p90x but I have 2 things holding me back.
#1. I used to be in really great shape, my muscle mass and body fat percentages have never been a problem, but I switched to being a vegetarian exactly a year ago and my body has changed drastically, its gotten softer probably because my protein intake has gone down. I still eat fish and seafood but I’m worried the diet protion of p90x won’t work for me because of the meat content. Lol…I know my weight loss has now become an exact science…ugh!
#2. Being a female who’s looking to loss fat and lean out, do I need the pullup bar and ALL of the additional add ons? I want to make sure I have all the equipment neccessary to achieve my personal goal and not have equipment I won’t ever use.
I’m a former year round athlete that definitly has the drive and I’m really excited to start, I just want to make sure I have all the neccessary information about p90x in order to get where I want to be.
Thanks,
Shaunie
Mar 08, 2010 @ 18:56:33
I’m starting my Power90 journey today. I’m fat right now so I plan on evaluating after 30 days to see if I think I’m ready to start P90X. If not, I will re-evaluate at 60 days. If not, then at the end of 90 days I will start P90X.
Mar 10, 2010 @ 15:47:22
Hi Cody,
The Power 90 might not be enough of a challenge if you can handle that test. Although, the P90X is not recommended if you are overweight, so it’s a matter of what you feel like you can handle.
Do you want a program that you can get through with no problem that will still benefit you, or a program that you might struggle through but will give you results?
My concern is if the P90X is too much, you might quit. I know you can stick it out with the Power 90. If you think you can dedicate an hour to an hour and a half to the P90X, even if it’s tough at times, go with that program. If you aren’t sure if you can, go with Power 90.
-Mike
Mar 10, 2010 @ 15:56:21
Hi Shaunie,
you’re in luck……the P90X Nutirtion plan meal approach calls for tons of fish! You can always substitute fish in for any of the other meats. There is also a section of the plan that gives you more ideas on where to get protein.
You don’t need the bar, but you will need the bands and the upgrade kit to do modified versions of the pull-up exercises. You will also need either bands or dumbbells and a yoga mat. For the least amount of equipment, you can get the bands complete kit and the upgrade kit….maybe with a few extra sets of handles.
Good luck!

I’m 29 years old 5’9″ and about 271lbs but I’m no slouch by any means. I know I’m over weight but I carry it very well. I think I’m pretty fit for my weight. I get around better than people half my weight and I have a good energy level as well. I’ve read the differences between the Power 90 program and the P90X program. Being a former athele I opted for the P90X program because of its intensity, but I wanted to know what is your thought on this.
Mar 12, 2010 @ 10:09:42
Hello Brandon. I think P90X classic approach would be perfect for you. As a former athlete, you probably have the drive to get up and do these workouts everyday. That’s actually the hardest part of the program!! I think you might feel a little under challenged with Power 90 just because it’s more for people who have very little athletic ability or a low fitness level.
As someone who holds his weight well, you will probably come out of this 90 days looking amazing!

I’m 60 and have not been active until the first of Jan. 2010 when my doctor told me I was close to the Diabetes magic number. Over the last 10 weeks I have been exercising daily and have lost 22 pounds with that and more to go. I am currently walking three days (45 Minutes) and using my Total Gym three days a week. I have established an entire new eating regime.
My question is which system would you recommend for someone in my position to take my reshaping to the next level. At this point my major problem is still my GUT.
Mar 15, 2010 @ 13:44:41
Hello Jim,
of course I would run this by your doctor before you begin, but you might want to try the 10 Minute Trainer. This a great program if you want to get into better shape, without going to the extreme with a program like P90X. You can choose to work out for 10, 20, or 30 minutes per day. For someone who hasn’t worked out much for so long, 10 minutes a day should be a reasonable task. It’s always a possibility to graduate from the 10 Minute Trainer and move on to a program like Power Half Hour or Power 90, but at this point, I think you should ease your way into it and work your way up!
Good Luck!

I am getting married in 3 months and I have last 15 pounds so far. I need to lose 20 more pounds. I lost the 15 pounds by doing cardio. I wouldnt say im in really bad shape but then again not in the best shape. My question is do i go for p90 or p90x?
Mar 16, 2010 @ 13:43:17
Hi Jen,
congratulations on losing 15 pounds! A wedding can be great motivation!!
Take the P90X fitness test. If you can pass, the P90X will certainly help you reach your goals. If not, start out with a less intense version, Power 90:

I’m about 5’0 210lbs; most people think I weigh about 185…so my weight is pretty evenly distributed on me. I understand how to workout, what foods to eat and I’m pretty athletic. Also,I’ve lost a significant amount weight on my own in the past; when I start something, I’m pretty committed to it. What I don’t want to do is burn myself out or get discouraged if I can’t keep up with this particular program. With that said, should I start with P90 or P90X?
Mar 18, 2010 @ 11:58:27
I am 5’7 and 270 pounds. I work out 3-4 days a week. It hasn’t always been that consistent. I really need to loose weight and I want lean muscle. My stomach, arms and hips seem to be my problem areas. I think the P90X maybe too much for me. I work two jobs, married with kids so time is a factor as well. I hit the gym on those 3-4 days a week. I would like this to be a family program for me, husband and 11yr old son. I wanted to know which program you would recommend.
Mar 18, 2010 @ 14:27:36
Hello B,
I have the perfect solution. Take the P90X fitness test. If you can pass this test, you are physically ready for this program. If you can’t pass the test, you should start with the Power 90.

Hey jennifer,
This it can be frustrating trying to get back to where you were prior to having a child. Believe me we get a ton of comments from women in your same position. My suggestion is take a good hard look at what you are eating each day and do an A-B comparison to what you should be consuming calorie wise in the Nutrition Guide. Are you getting the right amount of calories and the right type of calories?
Next, you may want to take a look at our Slimming Formula. We get a lot of great feedback and can be a great compliment to the program itself if you are really looking to shed more weight. Here is a link:

Hi-
I’ve been looking at both Power 90 and P90X. I’m leaning more towards Power 90, just for the fact that i haven’t done much since high school. I’m 5’10′ and 180 lbs. Mostly in my mid section, and it has shown up in the last 2-3 from college and work. My main question is about the eating plans. I can’t find much info on them. I like to eat so i don’t want some crazy plan thats going to not make me happy and or satisfied. I really want to get back into a good shape to be happy with myself.
Mar 30, 2010 @ 09:33:09
Hi Steve,
It seems as though you are not extremely overweight and you’re young. I’d say give P90X a chance! We often recommend Power 90 first to those who simply cannot start with P90X but I’m pretty confident you can hack it.
Now, in regard to the Nutrition Plan. A few things to remember is that this is NOT a “starve yourself” diet. You will not feel hungry whatsoever.
The first reason is, not eating enough sends your body into survival mode where your metabolism will actually slow down having the reverse affect that most people assume. The second reason is you need to have energy to perform the workouts and that energy comes from eating enough and eating the right kind of food.
There is a lot of flexibility in the P90X nutrition plan, but the fact remains is that it’s not going to have pizza, and chips on the menu. It’s about healthy food choices and eating well balanced nutritious meals.
Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Apr 04, 2010 @ 09:56:53
So I am undecided on p90 and p90x, currently right now I do Bikram Yoga, Thai Kickboxing and Cardio kickboxing which one would be a good fit for me?
What I am really looking for is to tone my body and get better looking abs, I don’t want to look bulky and look like a block of muscle.
Apr 06, 2010 @ 16:18:17
My husband and I purchased the P90X, but so far we have only done the bonus workouts from Power 90, and quite frankly, it is extremely hard for both of us. Can we still follow the diet from the P90X program while we work up to that?
Apr 12, 2010 @ 16:06:34
I am on Week 5 of the P90 program. I love the program and feel great doing it. Problem is that I have put on 6lbs of weight since I started the program. I know that some weight gain in the initial weeks is normal, but should I not have started the downward trend after 4-5 weeks of doing the routines?
Apr 13, 2010 @ 15:29:11
Hello Suzy, either program will help you achieve your goals. You wont get bulky unless you really try to by using heavy weights. Power 90 is less intense than P90X, but the ideas are similar. If you want a program that is better for beginners, go for Power 90.
-Mike
Apr 13, 2010 @ 15:30:37
Yes Michelle. The nutrition plan is not just a diet, it’s a better way of eating.
-Mike
Apr 13, 2010 @ 15:34:48
Hello K,
weight gain could be brought on by the addition of muscle mass. Did you have a lot of fat to lose on day 1? This program allows you to burn fat and build muscle at the same time, so it can be a balancing thing between loss of fat and gain of muscle if you don’t have much fat to burn from the beginning.
Keep at it and just follow the diet and workout schedule as closely as you can. You will be happy in the end!

Hi,
I am 24, am 6 feet tall and weigh about 200 pounds. I had planned on starting the p90x program until I heard and read about the p90 program. I am only looking to cut weight! I completely understand the key to achieving this goal is to stay on a strict diet. I am being honest with myself in believing that the p90x may be too extreme right now for me and believe I should go with the p90 program. I was wondering if you thought this too be a good idea and also if I would need to purchase any other materials for the p90 program other than what comes with the package on your website. (dumbbells, a mat??)
Thanks!!
Apr 14, 2010 @ 13:25:06
Hello Karl,
I like the way you think. Power 90 is still a great program, although less intense than P90X. Many people see P90X and think that it will work for them, even if they are way out of shape. Of course it will work, but many of those people give up because it’s too hard for them. You need some sort of physical fitness to start P90X. It’s not a program for beginners.
A yoga mat could be useful for floor and ab work, and resistance bands or dumbbells are necessary. Other than that, you just need the DVD’s and the drive to get into great shape!

I’m nearly 19 and after graduating i put on some unwanted pounds. I was used to going eating basically what i wanted and burning it off in Football practice. I seen the P90x on tv along with Insanity with Shaun T. I’m still in shape but i want to take my body up and beyond; so i was wonder which of these would benefit me the most since they are pretty different from eachother? Any feedback would be a godsent!

I’m 18 years old, 5’10″ and wiegh about 160 pounds, in decent shape but not very strong, and am currently trying to start p90x to get into better shape. But I’ve tried to start it 4 times and each time I give up after the 1st week or 2 due to a combination of soreness, and lack of time. Also I couldn’t completely finish the workouts, I’d always stop with 15 or twenty minutes left, so now I’m wondering should I just push through these problems and still go with p90x, or should I start out with Power 90 instead?

I am 37 years old, 5’4 and weigh 210 lbs. I want to shed fat all over. I just started walking three miles, three times a week. When I DO workout, I am not lazy at all. I will give it 110%. My main focus is to control my eating and to get healthly. I am looking for something that is challenging (but not too challenging). I am a female so I don’t want bulk. I was debating on the P90 or the 10 minute trainer. What do you recommend?
Apr 21, 2010 @ 15:43:33
Hi-
I Just got my Power 90 DVD’s. I decided to go with them for the time and money savings compared to P90X.
Couple of Questions: When is the best time to work out? Right when i get up, then eat? And after that answer what would be the best thing to Eat after a work out? I haven’t yet looked into these supplements i keep reading about, but what are they and why do i need them? I’ve done the cardio work out today, now what should i do tommrrow? And by the way it felt great to do that first work out!!!
Thanks!
89 more days to go!

I recently started the power 90 program and had a question about the snacks. I really am not too interested in any of the ones in the meal plan and love eating apples and bananas, so I was wondering if eating one of these a day for my snacks is alright as far as keeping up with the meal plan!
Thanks!

Not sure if P90X is right for you? Take the P90X fitness test to find out! If you can pass this test, you are ready. If not, you might want to start with something less intense like the Power 90 or Power Half Hour.

Hi, I ordered the p90x workout about a month ago and I haven’t been doing it constantly. As a matter of fact, I “started over” 2 times already. Both times I did the work out for a week then I stopped. And now I want to start for real this time. So do I “start over” again and do a month of phase one or do 2 weeks of phase 1 then move to phase two? Also, I need to loose about 60lbs, should I do p90x or something else? I already have Turbo Jam and it really hurt my knees. Please help!!

Hello Elizabeth,
I would start again from the beginning. Try and prepare yourself by going over the diet and coming up with a plan head of time. I think P90X is the best program if you can handle the schedule and stick to it.

Hello I am a female 5’7 and 240lbs. I am completely out of shape I recently started the abs diet and I lost 23lbs in a month. I go to gym a couple times a week but since I have kids sometimes I am not able to go so I would like workouts to do at home I am not sure which dvds will be right for me. Any suggestions?
Hy Mayra,
I think you should start with Power 90. P90X is an intense program and the Power 90 is the perfect program to help you work your way up to P90X.

hello i am wondering what program is right for me. I am looking to lose about 70 pounds and get into better shape. I heard my manger at work talking about the px90 and i was wondering if this would be right for me.
Hello Aaron,
P90X is a great program that really helps you to lose weight, get stronger and perform better. Take the fitness test to see if you can handle these workouts:
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/pdf/p90x-fit-test.pdf
If P90X seems like it might be too difficult based on the fitness test, try Power 90. This program has a lot of the same ideas, but it’s a little less intense and is a great stepping stone up to P90X.

Hey Tamana,

Hey,
I am in desperate need of some help. Im trying to decide what workout would be best for me. Im hitting the scale at around 430 im 28 years old and height around 6′. What program would suit me best to get this weight off. at this point im 100% committed to do anything but surgery. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Jeremy,
P90X probably wouldn’t be the best choice for you. I would start with Power 90 or even Power half hour. You don’t want to overdue it in the beginning. You should definitely work you way up.
-Mike
Jun 07, 2010 @ 12:22:49
My husband and I are planning on starting with the P90. Do I need to buy the Master Series and Power Half Hour or just the In Home Boot Camp should be enough to begin with?
Hello Joya,
the Power 90 will be enough to get you into shape. The Master Series and Power Half Hour are actually different programs all together.

Im out of shape thats for sure, but where i can get back in track with a week of running and watching what i eat. im looking for something with a quick pace. Would P90 be good enough for me or should i just tuff it out and start on P90x. What im debating on is that ill order 90 and read through its diet plans and basically loose intrest rather then getting 90x and just stick to the extream work outs and see where that takes me. I guess im just dont relly understand how to follow diet rules and would any of these programs explain it to me in a way where i will be able to get it. I dont know much of diet suppliments , protein shakes etc etc thats why i ask. Thanx
Hey Rafael,
if you can bounce back that quickly, I would start with P90X. It can be tough at first, but if you can adapt within a week or two, you will get great results. The P90X Nutrition plan can be difficult to understand, but you just have to take the time to read the guide from front to back first. The guide will tell you the foods you should be eating and how much. As far as the supplements, they are included in the nutrition plan so you will know when to take them. You should have the Recovery Formula, the P90X protein bars, and Whey protein. The guide will actually give you a recipe for a shake.

i just purchased the P90X today. I know that my husband is exited to try it out. I am also but i am also a little scared. I am wondering if I should have bought the P90 just for me. No doubt I need to lose at least 30 pounds (5 ft 4″; 207lbs) and i am totally committed to doing what is necessary. HOWEVER, I am wondering if I bit off more than I could chew???!! The program looks advanced. i go to the gym but am not a fanatic about it. I work on my Wii and try to walk during the week. None of it is working, so I figured I would give the program a try. Your thoughts??? thanks
Hello Victoria.
I would stick with P90X because you have your husband right there to motivate you and help you along the way. This program is tough, but it totally works and it totally worth the effort. If you struggle in the beginning, keep trying! Eventually, you will be able to keep up and you will be happy that you stuck with it!

Hi,
I was on a roll at the gym getting ready to run my 2nd 1/2 marathon when I torn my ACL (same knee, agin) while playing soccer. I plan to have surgery and end of Aug and would like to continue to work out up to surgery date. I can’t do the sharp cutting and lateral movements right now, but squats are ok. I really need to rebuild quads and hams. Are the videos/workouts in P90X adaptable? Can I do alternative movements if I feel unsteady with my knee?
Thanks!

Hello Cassie,
you can modify if you need to, yes. They will actually show you how to modify if you have knee trouble.

Hi
I know I am out of shape and have always been. But I want to CHANGE! I’m 25, 6’4″, and 305 lbs. I try to watch what I eat and I try to walk when I can. I’m a nurse and I work from 7p-7a. I get home right before 8 and I am usually asleep by 830. Then I wake up at 5 to get ready for work. It is hard for me to do any exercise because of my job. I’ve seen P90X advertised on tv several several times. I always watch it for a few minutes and think to myself “That’s what I need to be doing”. But I’ve never ordered it because I don’t know if it will be too much for me to handle or because I am I would lose my confidence/motivation and quit. I don’t do good staying motivated by myself. I sometimes wish I had a drill sergeant or someone to come kick my butt into shape. I know it is going to be a rough bumpy road but I am READY for the lifestyle change! I just found out that there is a less intense version (Power 90) and was wondering what you guys think would be best for me. I WANT lose weight! I WANT to get in shape! I WANT to take better care of myself!
Thank you guys in advance
Jonathan
Hello Jonathan,
starting with Power 90 would be a good choice. It is a little less intense than P90X, and also it will help you to prepare for P90X if you want to take that route later on. You just have to put yourself on a schedule and do these workouts everyday and try and follow the nutrition advise. Give yourself an hour a day to workout and get your diet in order for the day, and you will do fine!!

Hey Brooke,
P90X is a great program and can give you great results if you can handle the intensity of the workouts. Take the fitness test to see if you can stick with P90X. If not, you should go with Power 90. Power 90 has a lot of the same great ideas as P90X, but isn’t as intense and the workouts are a little bit shorter. Here is the link to the fit test:

HAVE A DESK JOB THAT IS NOT HELPING. I HAVE NOT WORKED OUT IN MONTHS AND ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME,WILL THE P90 BE SUFFICIENT TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AROUND THE MIDSECTION BY THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2010????.
I HAVE NO ILLNESSES, UNDER NO MEDICATION, DONT DRINK OR SMOKE– I AM JUST OVERWEIGHT AND OUT OF SHAPE, I DID HAVE AN ENTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY IN JAN 2009 AND AT THE PRESENT TIME PRESENTS NO PROBLEMS. I AM VERY SERIOUS ABOUT STARTING THE “RIGHT” FITNESS PROGRAM
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR GUIDANCE
Hello Juvenal,
Many people aren’t sure which program is right for them. P90X or Power 90. Both program have the same ideas and use some of the same exercises. The difference in the difficulty levels. Power 90 isn’t as intense as P90X and the workouts are a little bit shorter. Both programs can deliver great results, all over results. Most people are concerned with their midsection. The key to flattening that area is to eat a balanced diet that will complement your exercise regimen, and do the right exercises to slim that area down. Many people think you just have to do a million crunches to get a six pack. That might work, but it will take much longer than 90 days if you aren’t eating right or doing any other sort of exercise. Here is what I think is what it takes to slim your midsection down significantly while doing P90X or Power 90:
1. Follow the nutrition plans! This is very important!! You need more protein and fewer carbs with these programs and following that plan really makes a difference!
2. Of course you should put you all into every exercise, but always push yourself when it comes to BACK and LEG muscle strengthening workouts. Think about track runners. They have AMAZING midsections and I have never see them doing ab exercises. That’s because their legs, a rather large muscle, are in great condition and the actual muscle is usually pretty built up. Working large muscle groups really accelerates your body’s ability to burn fat all over your body.
3. Push it to the limit during those fat burning cardio routines. Not only are you sweating your butt off and burning a ton of calories, you are also working the legs (large muscle group).
4. Last but not least, once you master your ab workouts, try and add some sort of resistance. This way you can build those abdominal up bigger and those muscles will help to burn the fat that may be covering them!
Which ever program you decide to go with, keep these tips in mind and your midsection will be a great deal slimmer at the end of 90 days. See the link in the above post if you want to take the P90X fitness test.

Hi, I am a 31 year old male and weight 104kg (229lbs) and am 6 ft tall. I am carrying a lot of fat around my stomach and have man boobs. Very depressing!!!!!
I am 1 day into P90 work outs and was thinking of incorporating Turbo Jam to boost the cardio and fat loss. Do you think this is a good idea? I was planning on doing the P90 workouts first thing in the morning, followed directly by Turbo Jam.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi, I am 25 years old and I am looking to get back into shape for my golf game. I’m pretty good, and one thing I can do to get better is my fitness. I’m 6’0, 260lbs. Most of my weight is midesection and upper body, and right where I can’t have it! Anyway, I am wanting to lose about 80lbs and also tone up and strengthen my core. I CAN’T get big in my chest because that will severely affect my golf swing, so I don’t want to get extremely bulked, but I do want to have some good muscle in my core and forearms. So based on that, what product do you recommend I go for? Thanks!!!
Hello,
I suggest you start off with the Power 90 to shed the weight you would like to loose and work your way up to P90X. Power 90 is a great program and is the perfect stepping stone to P90X.

Hello, I am a 26 yr old female 5’6 and I weigh 203lbs. I really want to lose about 60lbs. I used to be very in shape in high school and worked out on my own but I am unmotivated and I work full time and have a child. I am completely out of shape and my eating habits are terrible as well. I have been researching and I want to know what program is best for me to lose weight. I was thinking about Turbo Jam but wondering if the moves will be too difficult. I have also looked about Power 90 and wondered if it is too extreme for someone completely out of shape. Now I have seen some posts about ChaLean as well. Please help me decide which product is best. Most of my weight in concentrated in my mid section since I had a child and it seems I just keep gaining weight. I need a program that will help me lose weight and lightly tone my body. Time is not an issue I do not have a deadline I just need to get on the right path.

Hey there- Quick question. I love P90X. I’m in round 3. However, I need to lose body weight. I’m an actor and my reps want me to lose scale weight. They’re concerned about weight and not so much body fat. I’m 218 pounds and eating level 3, should I drop down to Level 2 eating plan or should I switch over to Power 90, which seems more about weight loss? I need to get to around 185 pounds. Thanks so much for your help.

I finished P90x, then I went right into Insanity and finished that. But that was a few months ago, I’ve been busy at work and have given some of that 6-pack back. I want to start something again, but short on time. Will Power Half Hour be a good choice, or will that be too easy after P90X and INsanity? Thanks.

Hi, I was just wondering what the difference is between the P90X Classic workout and the Lean workout is. I know that the Lean is more of a cardio based workout but thats about it.
Hello Curt,
P90X is a high powered workout program designed with several possible approaches. While the Lean and Classic versions are slightly different, they are both highly effective.
P90X is a system that combines cardio and resistance training workouts to help you build muscle and burn fat. While it won’t make a woman “bulk up”, it will give people of both genders an increase in muscle tone. If you are the type to be obsessed with the scale, you may not lose pounds upon pounds of weight. This is because as you are burning the fat you are adding muscle. Don’t get it wrong—if you have a lot to lose, you will see the scale drop but keep in mind, you will gain muscle with the classic approach.
P90X Lean on the other hand is more of a cardio based system. Many of the resistance training workouts are removed altogether. This approach is specifically for those people who don’t necessarily want to add a lot of muscle and are instead focused on seeing the scale move. While both approaches are appropriate for both genders, we typically see women using P90X Lean more often.
When looking at P90X Lean vs. Classic, which one is better for you, you have to analyze your goals to make your decision. Also, keep in mind which program you are most likely to stick with. If you despise cardio, P90X Classic is likely the better approach for you.

Hi, I’m 61 years of age, have minor lower back issues, and a about 30-35 lbs over weight. The lower back issue solution, according to the Doc is core strength and stretching. What exercise program would you recommend? Thanks.
Nov 10, 2010 @ 23:26:50
Hello Fred,
Hello,
The more overweight you are, the more challenges you’ll be up against, typically in the areas of stamina, flexibility, etc. That being said, we recommend that you pace yourself overall and gradually make exercise a real part of your life.
We suggest you start off with one of our other programs that are less intense. Power 90 is a great program and is the perfect stepping stone to P90X.
AS WITH ANY PROGRAM WE DO RECOMMEND THAT YOU SPEAK TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START ANY WORKOUT, BEING THAT YOU HAVE LOWER BACK ISSUES.

hello!
i need to lose at least 50 lbs according to my doctor (5’0 175lbs). i currently have the P90 and have been using it for the last few weeks and definitely enjoy it (the shorter workouts are super awesome because i only have about 45 min every morning to workout), but since there is only one cardio and one sculpting workout, i am getting bored. i like having options, a little variety, so that when i’m sick of one workout, i can move to another for a little while. i was also told that doing the same workout every day won’t help as much as changing things up every so-often. do you have any recommendations as to which workout would be best in terms of weight loss and variety?
Hi Samantha,
the P90X has more variety. You have a different workout every day of the week, then you repeat that pattern for three weeks. Then you have a week of different workouts to rest your muscles. Some are the same, but in different order mixed in with some new ones. Then the next week you start another pattern. Again, some of the same workouts that you have already done, but some new ones too.
Basically, if you want variety, go with P90X.

Hello,
My husband and I recently purchased the PX90. We have two kids so it is always hard to make time to go to the gym, we hope this will be a way for us to get back in shape. I do yoga once a week and complete six miles on the excercise bike. I am looking forward to toning and getting long, lean muscles. My husband wants to shed some lbs. and sculpt. Would you recommend that we both try the Lean workout? Any recommendations on how he can stick to his daily meal plan, when he has a really hectic work schedule; as a retail-manager? Because the holidays are approaching and he usually works really long hours, does it matter if he does his excercise routines at different times of the day, versus sticking to the same time of the day?
Thank you,

I am trying to decide whether to invest in p90x or to start with power 90. I am 31 – 6’4, 235 lbs. I used to play a ton of competitive basketball at the high school and college level but I have not played in over a year since changing jobs and moving with two small kids. I know I am in pretty crappy shape for me, but not sure if that should slot me into p90x or power 90. I looked at the p90x fitness test, and I think i could get through it – but i wanted to check into what people would recommend before i actually take the fitness test. My goal is to get back into shape to play basketball regularly again – get down to 220, be able to dunk again, etc. Any help appreciated.
-Anthony
Hi Anthony,
as a former athlete, and as someone who can most likely pass the fitness test, you should go with P90X. P90X will help you burn fat, gain muscle and improve you athletic abilities. Jumping is one of the things Tony will tell you these workouts help. Personally, I can say that P90X has improved my athletic ability to the point where I could do things now that I couldn’t in high school, which was about 10 years ago! Power 90 is a great program for those who might be new to exercise and aren’t former athletes.
P90X, definitely.

I am trying to decide on whether p90x is for me. I’ve always been active – I ran track for many years and now I work out 3-4 days per week doing mostly cardio and some weights. The problem is I’m not getting the result I want. I’m 22yrs old 5’4 and weigh 146. I really want to tone up all over and definitely lose inches of my waist. I can’t get rid of my tummy or lovehandles no matter what I do. I would love to lose about 10-15 pounds. Do you think p90x can help me to achieve the results I’m looking for? Thanks!
Hi Nikki,
I think what you need is a little variety and intensity. P90X has just that. You aren’t in bad shape to begin with, so if you really dedicate yourself to the program, you should get really great results. Remember that the Nutrition plan is a very important part of this program, especially if you midsection is your problem area. This is the easiest place for your body to store extra fat, but the hardest place to lose it from. 10-15 pounds is absolutely doable with this program if you follow it right. Heck, if you follow it to the T, you may lose more!

I’m considering buying a workout video to be able to lose about 30 pounds. I’m not sure which one is perfect for me but, I’m leaning more towards the P90X program. The problem is that I wont be able to do the exercises that require the chin up bar because, my door wont hold it. Should I buy the program anyway and just jump those routines what?
Hello Giselle,
you can always substitute the chin-up bar with the resistance bands and the door attachment. This way you wont have to skip those moves, you will just be modifying a little. Click on the following links to view the products:

Hi. I recently ordered P90X. It is scheduled to reach here in 3 more days. I am preparing myself mentally for that work out. I am a graduate student and spend most of my time in laboratory working. I get exhausted and tired since I spend almost 12 to 15 hours in lab. I am very bad at Fitness. I have never been sport from my childhood. I am 25 now. I have lot of belly fat. Tried to hit gym, but never consistent. 6 months ago, i ran 5 miles a day continuously for 45 days and due to knee problems, I gave up. That is the only peak I reached. Thought of hiring a personal trainer. But, lacked motivation. I do not have enough motivation to work out as I have for my research.
I am some how attracted by P90X and ordered P90X deluxe recently. After that I started reading blogs to mentally make up. But with no fitness at all. I am a starter. Did I do a wrong thing by ordering P90X rather than Power 90. Will P90X too much for a starter like me or can I still manage by starting slowly. Does it include Power 90 or should I order P90 seperately.
Few more questions. I am planning to spend one hour every morning for this. Should I have breakfast and start it or should i do it other way round. Please advice.
Regards,
Prabs
Hello Prabs,
Power 90 is a separate program and is not included with the P90X. Where you start depends on your current abilities. If you are unsure where to start, try the P90X fitness test. If you can pass this test, you are ready to start P90X. If not, then it would be best to start out with the Power 90. You will find the P90X fitness test right in the fitness guide that came with your P90X. If you don’t do so well on the test but would still like to take the P90X, just take it slow at first.

I have 2 kids… my boy is 2 and a half and my daughter is 2 months old….. prior to having kids i weight about 150….. as of now im at about 220. It is sooo tough to lose the weight… and its mostly in my midsection and thighs. Im a fulltime student, work part time, have studying, HW, etc…. so as you can see im a busy busy mom! I have looked into your programs but have no idea what best fits my lifestyle and which one I’d benefit the most from. I want to lose the weight and be back down at about 145-160. what would you recommend???
Hello Shena,
I feel your pain! I am also a mother of two, I gained a lot of weight, I work full time and it’s really hard to fit in an hour of anything personal. For me, the best thing to do was to workout early in the morning and get it out of the way. There is too much going on during the day to have to worry about fitting an hour of exercise in. Some days you might be too tired after work, school and kids to be bothering with a workout. You just want to relax and breath at the end of the day!
P90X is certainly a great program if you are looking for extreme results. It’s hard at first, but if you take it slow and gradually work your way up the the intensity levels that they want you to be at, you should be fine. Personally, just to give you an example, I was 155 to start and I ended up at 135! I wasn’t expecting to lose 20 pounds! It was quite a nice surprise
Good luck!

I fell of the wagon for a few months and just stared getting back into it and want to take it to the next level. I want to slim down for good finally. Should I try p90x I’ve seen the Rees I can’t do more than 5 push ups total and can’t do a chin up to save my life. I am dedicated to exercise now 110% and am wondering if I physically can’t do an modify p90x. Thank you.
Hi Joe,
if you need to, you can modify some of the moves. Over time, you will be able to do a chin-up and many more push-ups. P90X is a difficult program for those just starting out, but I personally think even beginners can benefit from this program if they start out at a more moderate pace, stick to it and try to improve over time. That’s just my personal opinion. P90X isn’t recommended for beginners, but to see if you measure up, take the fitness test:

i been going to the gym for 7 years and i been lifting the same weight for last 6 years. i don’t take protein shakes and i don’t like to lift to much in fear of hurting myself. i go a few days a week but its not overly physical. i am 38 years old and i am not looking to lose weight. i think i gave you all the facts. so i am thinking about doing power 90 but am looking for advice. i hear p90x is really rough is this true? will power 90 or p90x cause me to lose a lot of weight? will i get something out of my time doing power 90 and the 6 extra dvd’s?
Feb 10, 2011 @ 00:23:45
Unfortunately life won’t let me fit 1hr/day 6 days/week of workout time in right now, so I don’t think P90X is right for me at the moment. I’m in decent shape (not overweight, reasonably fit if not terribly toned, was really enjoying doing Insanity last month with some friends, but don’t have access to those DVDs anymore) and am looking for a fitness program that I can fit into my tight schedule. I know that less time per day will take longer to give good results, but that’s OK with me. I have been thinking of trying P90 because it will be easier to fit into my schedule, but I feel like P90X is a better fit for my fitness level–I love the rush of a really intense physical challenge. Is there a workout program that has the intensity of P90X for, 30min/day instead of 60? Could I push P90 to give me the intensity that I want?
I am a woman. I wouldn’t mind losing 5-10lbs, but my goals are more to improve muscle tone and my general fitness level.
(By the way: the reason I don’t just go back to Insanity is that the “Max” round of DVDs involved too many push-up type things, which I always have to modify because they aggravate an old martial arts wrist/shoulder injury).

Hi, I would like to do p90x .some people I know say to do inanity. Can you do both or with power 90? Would just power 90 get me ripped?
Feb 22, 2011 @ 23:13:22
Or should I just do power 90
Feb 24, 2011 @ 00:03:34
If starting the p90, are the supplements a must? Will I still receive results without using the supplements but just sticking to the diet and doing the exercises? Also, will I be able to get abs and muscle from doing the p90 aswell? Or will I have to go to the p90x or insanity for toned muscles and abs?
Feb 25, 2011 @ 14:55:27
I can’t decide which one to order. I have been working out moderately 3 times a week for the last two months but I haven’t seen much results. I am afraid to get a intense work out video in fear I will give up and not do it. I don’t have a lot of time as I have three young children. I only need to loose about 5 pds but really need some toning in my legs and abs. Suggestions??

I HAVENT WEIGHED MYSELF IN A WHILE IM PROB OVER 3OO POUNDS BUT ITS ALL IN MY STOMACH IM 6’2 HOW MUCH WEIGHT COULD I LOSE IN 90 DAYS DOING THE P90 WORKOUT SYSTEM
Hello Kendrick,
this all depends on the individual. If you can do this program as it is supposed to be done and follow the nutrition plan, you can lose a considerable amount of weight. How much can depend on how much you weigh from the start, how much of that weight is fat and how much is muscle and what your current eating habits are like.
This is just for example, but a woman weighing 160 pounds can lose 20-30 pounds with this program. Someone who weighs much more will lose much more. It’s all relative.
Another factor to consider is how you approach the program. If you lift heavy weights, you will gain muscle mass and this will add weight to your body. Good weight, but this could be discouraging when looking at the scale since it wont tell you how much is fat and how much is muscle. A body fat tester is the best way to measure fat loss.

Hi,
What is the difference between the P90 in home boot camp and P90 master series?
Hello Madelaine,
the Power 90 Master Series takes the Power 90 workouts to the next level. They are a little more intense and concentrated on certain areas. This would be a great next step to further your results you get from Power 90 without having to do the same routine over again.

Hey I’m 16 years old, 5’10 and 193lbs – i want to get fit intime for summer but i dont know which is better for me the P90 or P90X ? i can only do 5 regular pushups but quite a few situps. pleasde help me decide which is better for me . i want the P90X to become really ripped , but i dont know if i could handle it
Hello Alex,
try the P90X fitness test. If you can pass the test, you can handle P90X. If not, it might be better to start off with Power 90.
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/pdf/p90x-fit-test.pdf
P90X is a great program if you want extreme results fast, well in 90 days! If you don’t pass the test with flying colors but still want to try the program, you will have 30 days to return it if you feel it’s not for you.
Good luck!

I am a 5’7″ male who was 220lbs. when I jumped head first into P90X. I only lasted 60days but got down to about 187lbs. The workouts were very grueling later into the program for me and after having to be the best man at my friend’s wedding, I unraveled and quit the program.
Since, between my work schedule and bad diet, I have gained so much weight and now I am a miserable 213lbs.
Now, I am considering going backwards and starting P90 first because I really need the shorter yet still effective workouts before I ever try P90X again.
I realize that like many, my biggest problem in life is balance and maintening weight NOT simply losing it all very fast.
Hello Amir,
this is something that does happens sometimes. You get great results from P90X, but aren’t able to keep up with it after a while. You could switch to power 90, or you can use the P90X maintenance schedule. Once you get to where you want to be, you can reduce your resistance workouts to half of the workout and do cardio twice a week. This will help you keep the results you worked so hard for. There is a little section towards the back of the fitness guide that will give you more information on maintenance if you are interested.

I finished power 90 and liked it so much I went ahead and started P90X. I am currently on my 8th week of P90X and all I can say is that I find it much harder then Power 90. I really like the nutrition plan and how it spells everything out for me.
Mar 23, 2011 @ 19:19:20
Hi,
My husband and I have a few friends who have done your P90X program with great results. Both us have been losing weight but we’d like to start a good excercise program now. However, I still have about 40 pounds to go and my husband still has about 20 pounds to go. We both walk about 30 min. a day and my husband has been doing pull-ups and push-ups. So I know I’m not up for doing the P90X yet but I was wondering where you’d recommend we start. We saw the P90 is for people who aren’t as fit but looking to get in shape so we thought we might start with that but then I also read some of the comments on this article about the 10min. Trainer and the Turbo Jam. We were thinking we’d workout together for support and encouragement. Do you have any tips or recommendations? Is P90 a good place to start for both of us? Or should I start out with something else?
Hello Carolyn,
besides the walking, what are some other activities that you normally do? Would you prefer lower impact? How much time would you like to spend per day working out? Would you like a workout that is fun or more serious?
If you husband already does some pull-ups and push-ups, he should be good to start with Power 90.
-Mike
Mar 24, 2011 @ 14:47:45
Hi Mike,
I don’t do much else besides the walking at this point. I have a computer job so I sit a lot for work. But I want to start doing more cardio and toning. I guess 30 min. is probably good for me at this point for a workout session.
Mar 25, 2011 @ 02:21:44
Also one more question. The Metabolism formula I noticed is also a multivitamin. Then the Slimming formula. Would you recommend talking those together? Or one or the other?
Hello Carolyn,
if you are looking for a 30 minute workout, I would go for the Power 90. P90X workouts are longer and much harder. As far as the supplements go, you can take both the multivitamin and the slimming formula if you would like.

I am a breastfeeding mother of twin girls. My diet consists of complex carbs fruits and vegtables and lean meats. Occasionally, I’ll eat some chocolate. Breastfeeding alone burns 20 calories per ounce. I pump approximately 64 ounces a day. I’m 6 months post-pardum and had finally began to lose weight from breastfeeding, but have gained 5 pounds since starting p90x a week ago. I don’t mind because I can see my body toning up as the inches have already shown a slight decrease. I want to add getting on my treadmill for 30 minutes to the mix, but I don’t want my milk supply to decrease. My minimum food intake before starting p90x was 2300 calories a day to maintain my production, and I rarely got that many calories in. How many calories should I take in to keep up with production maintain my health and continue p90x. I am doing classic with my husband. Also too, how long before weight decrease?
Mar 29, 2011 @ 09:45:40
I did my own research. All is well I’m just going to have to eat back the calories I burn while pumping, exercising, and being. 2300 calories seemed to do great yesterday as did my production. I’(l probably start taking momma’s milk tea, too.

Someone recommended PX90 to me and now that I’ve read through it.. I don’t think it’s for. Honestly, I’m very overweight and I was looking for something that would focus on burning fat as well as toning and tightening muscles. The Power 90 doesn’t look too bad but I’m really not sure what to go for. I’d really like to get one of these but I have no idea which to get. Do you have any programs that are suitable for someone who’s really overweight? Or are they just designed mainly for people who are out of shape?
Hello Tracy,
I would start out with Power 90. This program is well rounded and will help you in many areas. You will burn fat, tone muscle and improve your health and fitness. P90X is a little more advanced and if you are new to working out or haven’t done it in a while, you might be intimidated by a program like this and quit. Power 90 is a great place to start.

will p90x have me looking like a man i am a female and i don’t want big bulky arms and back are pull ups and pull ups good for women to do
Hello Tina b,
chin-ups and pull-ups aren’t bad for women to do if you do them right. If you can easily do chin-ups, you should try and do as many as you can, maybe using a chair to reduce the resistance. As a general rule when it comes to resistance and muscle mass, heavier weights with fewer reps equals bulk. Lighter weights with more reps equals lean. So when you do a chin-up, you are using your body weight as resistance. Resting your foot on a chair will help reduce the resistance and will allow you to do more reps which will help keep you lean.
Another good way to stay lean for those types of exercises is to use the resistance bands along with the door attachment kit. You can do the same chin-up and pull-up moves with the bands while sitting or standing but with much less resistance.
That goes for all of the resistance exercises. If you aren’t looking for size, keep your weights light and do more reps.

I purchased my Power 90 some 4 years ago. I never gave it the full 90 days. Today I am ready to follow through with the reuired committment. I have all my CDs but can’t find the calendar and workout chart. Is there a way to reorder those?
Thanks,
Hello Karyn,
if you contact our customer service, they can tell you how to re-order a guide. I’m pretty sure you will have to call Beachbody directly, as we can’t sell the guides separately, and they can send you one.

This is tough to type but here goes. I’m 6′ 4″ and weigh around 430 pounds. Is Power 90 something that an extreamly over weight person could do (I do realize it will take more than 90 days and I am up fo the challenge)? Or would you recomend something else first?
Thank You
John
Hello John,
if you are up for the challenge, go for it! Power 90 is more for beginners and you can modify things and take your time if you need to. If you want to start out with a shorter workout, there is the 10 Minute Trainer or Power Half Hour. Both of these programs are also from Tony Horton if you like his way of exercising.

I to am wondering Power 90 or P90x. I am currently 5’11 and 239 age49. I have been working out one day weights , one day aerobic. I can run a mile without walking or several if I run walk. Wieghts have been all dumbells. I cannot do a pull up. Never could ( except in college) I used to be atheletic and tend to overdo it when I start back up. Will the x allow me to work into the program ( less reps not less time), and in your opinion am I fit enough to start it.
Thanks,
John
Hello John,
you can start out with P90X doing fewer reps or lighter weights to ease your way into it. You can modify moves where you need to and take breaks when you need them. Power 90 and P90X are similar, but P90X is more intense and more complex. If you want to see if you are up to the X, try the fitness test:
http://www.extremebodyworkout.com/pdf/p90x-fit-test.pdf
If you can pass this test, you should be ready to start with P90X. If not, try starting with Power 90 and work your way up to the P90X.

hi,
I am 18 years old,a 5’9” male and i am 200lbs.i am out of shape and looking for weight loss rather than building muscle.i am some what active,i dont go to the gym but cycle(half hour) and run(20 min) 6 days a week.i am not able to do even one pullup and can do only 1 to 2 pushups.could u please suggest which program to do p90x or p90 or p90 master series or any other program that I should do before p90x?
As I want to become slim do I have to buy weights for various routines in p90x as I don’t feel like using them.i feel they tend to reduce height. Is there any alternative for that in the p90x program?
In the fit test do I really need to pass the bicep curl test or can it be done away with some other exercise?
I prefer vegetarian food and eggs over non veg so could u suggest alternatives for chicken and other non veg foods in the nutrition plan which has to strictly followed during p90x?is there any alternative for supplements that we have to buy from beachbody.com or any other shop?.i have bought some of the equipments and have to buy 1 of the beach body program(p90x) so buying supplements would make things less cost effective?
Please help,
Thanks.
May 14, 2011 @ 06:59:02
sorry i didnt put one point in my previous post.
should i do lean or classic if i do p90x?
thanks
Hello Raghav,
since you already workout 6 times a week, you seem pretty committed to working out. I would go with P90X and do the lean approach. The lean approach focuses on weight loss and less on resistance training. You will need either dumbbells and a chin-up bar or the bands and the door attachment. You wont be using them as much, but they are needed. I know you don’t want to build muscle, but doing some resistance with lighter weights can help you to lose weight faster. This is why some people who do nothing but cardio all of the time lose weight, then hit a plateau and don’t lose any more. You have to give your body something different for a dramatic change. The supplements aren’t 100% necessary, but I would strongly recommend getting the recovery formula. This helps with soreness and also feeds your muscles the protein they need to develop.
As far as the food, there is a section in the nutrition plan that gives you some vegetarian options.

Hi,
I have heard tons about the power 90 programs and know they have great results. My dad has the old P90 VHS (I know, old school) and swears by these. He is willing to give these to me and don’t mind the fact it is a video. As for my currenty physical state… my bmi is just slightly over normal and I am currenlty doing 40 mins of treadmill, abs on an exercise ball and the occasaional few mile bike ride on the weekends. First question is if the P90 dvds are the same as the videos? Second how intense are the workouts? I have asthma that keeps me from running like I would love to do. Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is great and I don’t have to stop to catch my breath. What do you recommend?
Thanks!
Ashley,
the power 90 vhs tapes should be the same as the dvd’s. I don’t think they updated it in any way besides the packaging. The workouts can get a little intense, but power 90 is ok for even beginners to use. It’s more about your own goals and how you approach the exercises. If you need to take a break and catch your breath or slow down the pace, that’s perfectly fine. It’s better to stop for a minute and collect yourself rather than have an attack and have to stop the workout.
-Mike
May 21, 2011 @ 16:37:15
Thanks Mike,
Another question… got the tapes from my dad, but noticed that I don’t have the diet plan. Is there a way I can get a copy of that somewhere?

Hey guys. I’m a pretty skinny guy and I bought P90X to start out with but couldn’t do it. I bought P90 but fell ill while 2 weeks into the program. I was wondering will I get any stronger or just in shape? My main goal is to actually build muscle, not just look great.
Hello Chase,
you can get a number of different results from this program depending on how you approach it. If you not only want to get into great shape and fell better, but also build muscle, your focus will have to be on the the resistance training. Don’t skip out o anything else, but really keep record of how much weight you are using and how many reps you are doing. As a general rule, heavier weights with fewer reps, 8-10, will give you more bulk rather than lean muscle. So be sure to use weights that will make that last rep really tough. If you can do 11 reps, you need a heavier weight. Protein is essential to building muscle so be sure you are eating the correct amounts and using some sort of extra protein supplement, wether it be a whey protein or protein bars.

I am so excited to start my transformation! I have decided to start out with the Power 90. I haven’t done any sort of real, push yourself to the limit, excerise since I was in high school (10 years). Although I have many questions, my most pressing is what time of day is best? I work banker’s hours, 7:30am-5pm and have two young children who go to bed around 8pm. My plan is to do the video workouts after the kids go down. What are your thoughts on this? Is there anything you can suggest regarding eating? Should I be sure to have a small meal after my workout or will I be okay going right to bed (within 30 minutes to an hour)?
Hello Amber,
I think that an evening workout will work best for you. In general, it is a little better to work out in the morning, but if you attempt that, you might be setting yourself up for failure! For a working mother of two, that is way to early to work out!
If you need a snack after your workout, try and make it something really light, no carbs or sugar. A dairy or vegetable snack would be good. Taking the recovery formula is ideal for an after workout re-charge, but you probably don’t want to recharge at that time. It could even keep you awake longer that you would like.
We all have different schedules and life styles, so don’t feel like you have to workout out first thing in the morning. It much better to fit in you workout when it most convenient for you so you are more likely to continue with it every day.

Hi,
I am a woman and have been doing P90x with 2 other women for 1 week. We are all somewhat active but haven’t been doing much but occasional cardio and our muscles are not so strong.
We are able to get through the lean version program with A LOT of modification and we have very sore muscles (the soreness is fine, but we also feel perhaps overly fatigued?). There are many of the exercises, sometimes half of them, that we really can’t do, we have to just make something up different to do.
None of passed the original fitness test but we thought we’d try it out anyway as some of our friends have had really good luck with it.
We are starting to wonder if it wouldn’t be better to start with P90, if that would be a program we would have more success at and then work our way up to p90x. Some of the days there are so few of the exercises we can do, like the abs we can only do a 5-10 reps or sometimes not at all, and we are starting to feel that it might be more effective to do something we actually can get all the way through.
I also see you recommending the CheLean a lot on this page, how would you decide between that at P90, if you were to recommend for us to do a different program first?
We definitely want to get to P90x eventually.
Our goals are health, strength, and weight loss. Not building bulky muscle.
I have difficulty jumping so I modify there because of short term spine/knee injuries that I am working on correcting. Is one of the other programs better for this as well?
We are all 3 quite dedicated to this and disciplined, we just want to make sure to go about this properly.
Thank you!
Hello Ashley,
if are really having a hard time with P90X, the best thing to do would be to switch to the Power 90, especially if you would like to continue with P90X after. Some people do struggle in the beginning with P90X but eventually get better at it and are able to complete the workouts. If you feel you can get to that point soon, then I would say keep going with P90X. If you don’t see that happening before phase 2, I would start using the Power 90.
It would be better to use a workout that you can complete rather than struggling to do a fraction of a more difficult program.
-Mike
Jun 13, 2011 @ 16:48:29
Hi Mike,
Thank you!
We decided for now to keep going with the P90x and lucky enough I have found the last two workouts (Kenpo and Cardio Syn.) to actually be quite doable. Of course I need to get better at everything, more rep, more weights, but can feel my body getting stronger and more accustomed to the workouts already. We’re going to keep going this week and see how it goes.
Thank you!
Ashley
Hi Ashley, I’m glad to hear it!

Hi Mike,
Just starting Power 90. Quick question… do you have any recommendations for the meal plans that are vegetarian friendly? I do the occassional cheese, yogurt etc. No regular milk though.
Thanks!
Hello Nicole,
to be honest, answering questions about vegetarian options are not my strong point!! My brother is a vegetarian and eats a huge variety of foods I have never heard of! I should bring him in on this blog! The meal plan might be difficult for a vegetarian, especially those who tend to omit dairy as well. I would recommend trying the portions approach. There is more flexibility for vegetarians. There are more foods on the approved foods list that would be considered vegetarian. That way you don’t have to adjust meals that are already made, you can just come up with your own with the foods you know you will eat.

Hi,
I am 20 years old and looking to get into better shape. I don’t work out often so I was wondering what you think I should do. I wanted to know if there is a big difference between the P90 Master Series and the P90x?
Hello Kevin,
P90X is a step up from Power 90 and the Power 90 Master Series. They have similar ideas and similar approaches but P90X is a little more difficult. If you completed either Power 90 program, you are most likely ready for the P90X.
-Mike

The P90x bar does not fit on my doors. I have 36″ doors. Is there a pull up bar that you recommend that would fit those size doors?
Hello Kevin,
there isn’t a specific brand that I can think of to recommend, but I would strongly advise to get a bar that can be fastened to the wall above your door frame with screws and brackets. Some of the bars that just use tension to stay in place can be dangerous if the person using it rocks back and fourth too much.

Hey Mike,
I’m nearly 30 days into Power 90 and and hesitant to “step up” to Phase 3-4 Curcuit. I put in the video and the first thing I saw was the inverted push-up. I’m not yet at that point, but Phase 1-2 Curcuit doesn’t feel as though it’s enough of a workout. Do you have any suggestions? Do you think if I still do a push up with my knees on the ground it is good enough to “step up”?
Thanks for your help!
Amber
Hello Amber,
if you feel Phase 1-2 just isn’t challenging you enough, move on. You want to be challenged. If you can’t exactly to the inverted push-up right away, try and at lease get into the position and see if you can unbend your arms. If you can, see if you can go down a little. If not, just holding that position will engage your muscles. Take small steps into things that might be difficult. You will eventually get to the point where you will be able to go all the way down and back up again. From there, just try and increase your reps each time.
-Mike

I am trying to decide between Power 90 and P90x. I am 28 years old and totally out of shape. I am a hard gainer, I only weigh 125 pounds. I want to get into shape and bulk up. I am starting to have back and neck pain from sitting behind a desk for 11 hours a day. I know the Power 90 is for beginners, but I don’t want it to be to easy that I get no benefit from it. And I really want a bulked, ripped up body. Thanks for your help.
Hello Paul,
go for the P90X. If you have trouble in the beginning, take it slow and work you way up. If you find it’s too hard, don’t quit, just keep trying to do better every day. If you want to bulk up, use heavier weights and keep your reps between 8 and 10. If you can do 11 reps, you might need a heavier weight.
-Mike
Sep 24, 2011 @ 02:06:23
I just saw the ad for P90x and like the concept, but know that it would be too intense and advanced for me. I saw that you have a Power 90 and Power 90 Master workout as well.
My husband and I are in our 50′s, and had been working out at home with hand weights for the past 3 months. We joined the gym 2 weeks ago and have had a personal trainer for 4 sessions. The cost however to continue is more than we would like to invest.
Which program would you recommend? My husband and I are in our 50′s, he has had a neck injury, we would both like to get lean and strong ( both have weak backs). develop more stamina/endurance and I would also like to lose 5-10 pounds and firm up those trouble spots.
Hello Ricci,
If you aren’t looking to do a really intense workout, I would start with the Power 90. It has some of the same ideas as the P90X, but isn’t as difficult. Also, because you have a neck injury and both have weak backs, I wouldn’t start out with a program so hard.
Go with the Power 90.

I am looking for a program that will help me lose fat – slim down and also develop some muscle. I have been exercising for some year but fell off the wagon. I am 190 lbs hoping get down to 150 lbs. I’ve heard great thinks about P90X but did not want to get it because I have bad knees and would not be able to do the plyo exercises. In addition, I do not have the time to do a 1 hour + workout 6 times a week. I also heard that Extreme CharLEAN is a great program that can get great results too.
My level of Fitness is Intermediate so I think Power 90 might not be appropriate since it’s more of a beginner level. Kindly suggest a few programs I can do that will get great results, are not too long and are do not require a lot of equipment.
Thanks

I’m trying to decide between Turbo Fire and Charlean Extreme. I Which one will get me the best results with 40 lbs to lose. I bad knees but can improvise. I also don’t want any workout longer than 45 min per day. My level is intermediate.
Thanks
Wendy
Hello Wendy,
for both programs, each workout is 45 minutes or less. Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme are two very different programs. Turbo Fire is like Turbo Jam, but more intense. Turbo Fire is all about heart pumping moves that will keep you sweating the entire time. Turbo Fire is cardio based. The Chalean Extreme is centered around weight lifting. You will need a set of dumbbells or resistance bands for this program. They will both help you to burn fat and build muscle, Chalean Extreme can help a little more in the muscle department, while Turbo Fire is more about toning. You will be doing a lot of jumping around during Turbo Fire which is something you might not want to do with your knee issues.

I have been working out with my bf with Power 90 level 1/2 for the past 5 weeks. Because I am in better shape and ready to move on already I have been just increasing my weights and sometimes adding more repetitions or more kicks/punches, etc. and I’ve found it to be a great program for us both! He gets to take his time, but I’m still getting something out of it.
We are hoping to move to the Master Series after the 90 days is up, and then on to P90X but he is very out of shape and we will just have to see how things progress. My question is where (as far as intensity) does the Power Half Hour fit in?? Would this fit between the Master Series and P90X in case he isn’t there yet but wants a change from the same old videos? Or would the Power Half Hour fit better between Power 90 and the Master Series, or is it equivilant to any particular one?
Thanks!

Power 90x the original name of the P90X before their abbreviated names. P90X Power 90 was the next level, and was introduced in 2004, but is not widely accepted. It ‘definitely has since become more widespread and 2007. It is a fitness program, so you can start and kept the best for those of you that is curently suitable in decent condition. You will find 12 training programs include resistance training, core training, yoga, plyometrics , Kenpo karate, and stretching. This is a program of 90 days. The stations are designed for six days a week about sixty minutes on a daily basis.

Hello, I am a 42 year old woman 2 years out from a spinal fusion at L-4/S-1. I have been doing Power 90 for about 3 weeks and following the fat burning diet, I also run 1 mile on the treadmill each night. I am religious about the plan! lol and have lost 17 pounds so far!! I started at 185 lbs, and am at 161 currently. My question, I have a very difficult time with the yoga due to limited range of motion in my lumbar spine, what if any exercise can I do during the Yoga portion that will be effective? Currently I continue to stretch and try a few of the poses during this portion. But I feel like I am missing out, any suggestions?

Hello, I’m a 32 yo male, I am 5’8” and about 200 lbs. I’m doing p90, I’m in day 45 level III/IV and I have lost about 20 lbs (I was 220) . I want to lose another 20 but I’m considering switching to p90x once I reach day 60. What do you think? I have not done the fit test but I have been very committed to p90 and I do have time to invest on p90x. I don’t know if I should be patient and finish p90 and then do p90x or start p90x when I finish 60 days of p90. I’m moving out of town in a couple of months and I feel that if I don’t start p90x soon once I move out it will be harder for me to commit and if I start p90x in a couple of weeks I’ll finish it just in time to move out. I’m also doing the 4HB slow carb diet.

Hello, I’m 24 years old. 5’6″ and 132lbs. I’m fairly thin and want to gain a little muscle/weight and seriously tone everything! I did 2 years in the Army so I know what to expect from a full body workout. I gave birth to twin girls 6 months ago and I am wondering what a workout program can do for my sagging belly skin. I’m doing P90x either way, but I really hope it helps in that department as well. It isn’t too bad, but when I bend over my lower belly looks like a curtain being draped about 1 1/2 inches over my pants. Any information would be much appriciated. Thank you!
Apr 04, 2012 @ 16:24:55
I am about 250 and i am 5 6. I know a real porker. Anywho. i have p90x and quite frankly have problems esp. with the upper body stuff. Is it realistic to begin with p90 or just moderate the p90x ? I have had knee problems (which led to the weight gain) but younger i was easily 150 and ran cross country and played a lot of sports. Thanks for the help. Quite frankly i am just tired of being this way and when i get discouraged and give up the italian in me kicks and its off to the fridge.Oh one more thing. I at one time got over 310 lbs and had lost over 100 lbs but put sixty of it back on. thanks.
Hello Nick C.
trying to lose weight when you have a debilitating condition can be very hard. P90X isn’t recommended for people with knee problems just because there is a great deal of jumping, squatting and lunging. You can, however, try the program and modify the moves so they aren’t so impactive to the knee. Not using weight, jumping slightly off the ground and not lunging too deep can be ways to prevent your knee from bothering you. Power 90 uses some of the same moves, but if you are looking to go for an over all less intense workout, try the Power 90 first. If you are ready for a challenge, while modifying to spare your knees, go for the P90X.
If you knee problems are serious, you should consult your doctor before starting any sort of exercise program.

Are you searching for a method to get six pack style abs.
Do you dream about becoming buff and having bulky muscles.
In case you desire to accomplish your goals you’ll need to do a few things appropriate. You’ll need to eat a proper diet plan. You may also have to stay active and get plenty of physical exercise.

I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content
so people could connect with it better. Youve got an
awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
