Hello Billy,

P90X is great for weight loss. If that is your main concern and you don’t really want to start to build up muscle just yet, I would do the lean approach. You will find this and two other ways to do the P90X within the P90X fitness guide included with your P90X.

Hello Dan,

if you can screw in the brackets above the doorway trim, and if the handle bars can rest on the sides of the doorway, then yes. You don’t want to use a doorway that is too wide because when you get into your chin-ups, you don’t want to risk your chin-up bar “swaying” forward and back as you are using it because this could cause the brackets to come lose.

Can I use the P90x Chin-up bar on a hallway entrance that does not have an actual door or molding?

Hello Danie,

to use the resistance bands, you would need to shut the door on the safety strap or which would be secured on the door hinges. So if your doorway doesn’t have a door, your bands wont work.

Hello Raxon,

if you are unsure that you can handle this workout, try the fitness test. If you can pass, the P90X is right for you. If not, you might want to start with something similar, but more for beginners like the Power 90.
