P90X exercises…discover your weaknesses, make them your strengths

Your journey through the P90X exercises will be unique for one simple reason, we’re all different. We come in all shapes and sizes, and one person’s strength may be another’s weakness. P90X understands these differences, and is designed to ensure that each individual is able to achieve their fitness goals.
 
No matter how fit or unfit you currently are, P90X exercises will reveal what areas you immediately excel in and what areas you have trouble with. This truly is the beauty of the program! Some people will have to work on improving their upper body strength, for some it will be the lower body, for others it will be a struggle to improve their stamina. This is what it’s all about.
 
The results you get from P90X will quite literally transform your daily life. Not only will you be able to handle everyday tasks easier, like taking out the trash or climbing a flight of stairs without getting winded, but your state of mind will improve. Obstacles become a challenge instead of road blocks. To succeed with P90X, it’s not just a matter of physical strength, it’s also about gaining the mental strength to over come, and to succeed.

This process is gradual and you will have to work on improving your performance with some of the P90X exercises. Take the advice of Tony Horton though, forget saying “I can’t” and turn that into “I currently struggle with” and you will turn those weaknesses into strengths, guaranteed!

P90X Chin Up Bar: Easy Installation

The P90X Chin Up Bar is a highly recommended piece of equipment. It’s main use is to help develop your shoulders, back and arms. Installing it is actually quite easy. The ingenious design allows nearly all of your weight to be distributed to the outside of the door frame, so only two small brackets are necessary. These brackets mainly support the weight of the bar itself, preventing it from physically sliding down the doorframe, and allowing you to easily remove the bar when not in use.

First follow the included instructions and assemble the P90X Chin Up Bar. Next, you need to locate a suitable doorframe. Choose one that’s out of the way from high traffic. You may also want to consider a location that’s near your TV where you’ll be following along with your P90X workout. The bar fits residential doorway openings (trim required) 24″ to 32″ wide (supports up to 300 pounds), so be sure to measure your doorway.

Next, you need to install the included brackets for the P90X Chin Up Bar either directly into the top trim or right above, into the wall itself. Be sure to install them on the appropriate side of the doorway—that is the side that the door opens in to.

Now, standing on a stool or step ladder, measure to find the center of the top of your door frame. From there, measure roughly 4″ to the left of that point and 4″ to the right, and mark each of these locations. This creates 8″ of space between the brackets. Next, screw in the 4 supplied screws per bracket and you’re done! Now all you have to do is grab your P90X Chin Up Bar and guide the flat top portion through the opening of the doorway and “hook” it firmly on the brackets. Feel free to pump out a few chin ups as your reward!
