A lot of people have questions concerning the accessories that go with Tony Horton’s P90X. Especially when deciding between using the chin up bar or getting the resistance bands with the upgrade kit so you can do the modified versions of chin ups and pull ups. How do you decide whats going to work best for you chin up bar or resistance bands with the upgrade kit?
Well, here are some things to think about when making your decisions. First, you want to make sure that you have a door frame for either of these options somewhere close to where you are planning on doing your workouts. Now the chin up bar fits doorways 24″ – 32″ wide, and a doorway with trim is required. Whereas with the resistance bands and upgrade kit you also need a doorway but you need the metal hinges that hook the door to the frame, not the trim. By hooking the door attachment included with the upgrade kit, around the metal hinge, it allows you to do all the modifed versions of what you would do with the chin up bar with the resistance bands.
Now those are the technical differences to help you make your decision. Along with that take into account whether you want to get out of your workouts physically. They are both going to give you a challenge and work your muscle tissue, but you have more control over how much resistance you have if you use the resistance bands unlike the chin up bar where you are picking up your entire weight or modifying things by standing on a chair. They are both great products it really just depends on what you are looking for. If you have any questions regarding the P90X accessories check out www.ExtremeBodyWorkout.com.
