P90X Reviews – Believe the Hype!
I’ve been using P90x workouts for about 2 months now.
I’ve lost a total of 5 pounds, and dropped 8 % body fat. I started out at 275 pounds.
For those of you who are mathematically challenged,

That means that I now weigh 270 pounds and I’ve gone from carrying around 110 pounds of body fat to only lugging 81 pounds.
That is significant! That also means that my my lean body mass has gone from 165 lbs.

of lean muscle to 189 lbs. of lean muscle. Holy Crap! All in just 2 months.
It gets better. I have almost no cartilage in my left knee from a skiing mishap when I was 18. As I’ve gotten heavier and heavier over the years the pain and swelling in that knee got more and more difficult to put up with.
When I first started with the P90X DVD‘s I’m ashamed to admit that I couldn’t even do a simple jumping jack because of the sharp pain in that joint. Here I am 2 months later and I can do those jumping jacks without any pain whatsoever.
To me, that’s a big deal. I have more energy, more strength. My arms are a full inch bigger than they were when I started. That’s what I call gaining muscle and losing fat.
Muscle burns more calories than fat, so I’m actually starting to see the weight fall off on the scale in the morning. I actually gained about 8 pounds during the first 3 weeks of the program and it was a bit frustrating.
I didn’t have Jillian, the fitness Nazi screaming at me for cheating or being stupid or whatever, but I could still hear her in my head yelling at me for not dropping the weight fast enough.
My goal however, isn’t to drop the weight so fast that I can make a GUCCi purse out of my leftover skin…….ewwww, that was gross…..sorry. I don’t want to just get skinny. I want to be fit. I want muscle, and I want a lot of it. I want to take my time and methodically go about my business.
I’m doing P90X training at least 5 days a week. I’m riding my recumbent bike for 1/2 to 1 hour a day and next week I will start playing racquetball again. Wish me luck.
To answer anyone’s questions – “Does P90X really work? and “Should I give Tony Horton’s P90X a try?” , let me just say this…..YES!!!!
It’s a great overall fitness workout. It’s frankly, the best fitness training DVD series I’ve ever seen. If you do it and keep at it you’ll be amazed at how much progress you can make to reach your overall fitness goals. Have a blast sweating your butt off!
