Hi, I was wondering if the P90X was right for me. I am 16, and I get a little nauseous after a few exercises, even though I passed the fitness test at the beginning.

Is it right for me? Should I take longer breaks between the exercises?

Hi, I tried the first DVD, and I had a problem with it…I felt a little too tired after the first three exercises, and got a little nauseous.
Should I take more breaks between the exercises, or should I modify them (For example, doing push-ups on my knees)? I passed the fit test, and I’m not sure why I felt like this after working out for a little bit.

I am 44 years old and have played competitive soccer my whole life – college, semi-pro, etc. I had ACL surgery 11 months ago and my knee is starting to feel pretty good. I am 4 weeks into p90x. I started about 6 lbs heavier than I want to be and have lost about half of that. I feel better and am very encouraged that this program is going to help me perform better than before I hurt my knee. One thing that is a little troubling to me is that I am aggravating my hamstrings every week (mild but noticeable) since I started p90x and feel like I’ve lost a little endurance. I had been playing for about 2 months since the surgery and was just starting to feel like my old self.

Would it make sense that my body (especially given that I’m coming back from reconstructive knee surgery) might take longer to adapt to the program and see performance results? I realize this is perhaps a difficult situation to diagnose. I may be “over-stretching” and just a tad tired as my body adjusts to this rigorous training schedule.

Thanks.

Hello all,
So I have asked this once before but I didn’t get back in time to read it fast enough so …..

I weigh 108 lbs, I’m 5′7”, I’m 18 and a girl. So … most of these people that do p90x are older than me, and usually over weight, does this mean I’ll get grossy ripped I mean … I would love to be ripped, just not … steriods ripped, you know? Thanks again.

Hi, I am looking into P 90x- my concern is that I have a very random travel schedule. Is the program flexible enough that I can do some workouts at the gym and then some on the road as well? I am not opposed to using the bands in my hotel room but find that I get a much better workout when I actually go to the gym. Do you need to watch the videos while working out or is it something I can write down or print out and take with me to the gym.
Thanks!

So one of the only things I can think of is, I weigh 105 lbs, I’m 5′7”, and an 18 year old female … Since most of the people you see on the ads are like 25 or older and over weight, will I get grossly ripped? Considering I’m already in decent condition, just looking for more strength.

Hi,
I have always up to about the last 5 years worked hard and have always been a big guy. I am always told I look like the bouncer type, I dont mind but would like to lose about 50lbs I am 6′4″ and 295. I have had a few problems with my knee, I do know taking the weight off would help. What would you suggest for someone that played football for 10 years and has always worked hard. Is this right for me? I know I need to get back to eating right and the cardio would be wonderful, but what about the rest? Is it something I could start out slow and build on? Also would you recommend it for someone that just wants to lose weight and get back into shape not get bigger.

Hi, I am a 42 yr old former college swimmer. I am 6′3″ and weigh 260. I still swim daily, absolutely HATE running, love cycling and weights but don’t have that kind of time due to work, kids, coaching, etc. I am one of those people who is always half-in/half-out of shape because of life in general and have been eating crappy as of late. I don’t necessarily want to gain muscle at my size, but would like to tone up the midsection while losing a little weight. get back in decent shape. Generally sick and tired of being sick and tired. is this a program that would go hand in hand with swimming–that is my first love, my kids swim, and i don’t want to stop. thanks for your time…………..

Thanks for your time

Hello Melissa,

What you will need to start the program is some kind of resistance, such as resistance bands and a chin up bar.
