The answer depends on what you want to get out of the program, how much you are willing to put in, how much time you have, and your fitness level.

P90X is one of the best fitness workouts on the market from Beachbody. Beachbody has some of the best and elite trainers on its staff and Tony is no exception and at 51 years young looks great. P90X is an excellent program and will produce results if you do the workouts as they are laid out.

P90X is a 90-day workout broken into 3 phases and uses the muscle confusion principle keeping your muscles from adapting to workouts so you can continue making progress.
It is a body weight program but it does incorporate the use of dumbbells, push up stands and pull up bar. Additionally a workout mat and heart rate monitor will be needed. You may skimp on the mat but be prepared for some rug burns. The heart rate monitor will let you know how many calories you burn and if you are in your target heart rate.

It was not designed as a weight loss program but with modification to diet plan, you can and will lose weight on it as many have done.

The workouts change from day to day and week-to-week to keep your muscle from adapting. You will be doing a lot of pushups and pull-ups thus the need for a pull up bar. Push up stands help but you can get by without it.

Workout time will range from an hour to over an hour and a half so you will need to make sure you have the time. The program will have you doing Yoga to Kenpo karate. Abdominal routine is about 15 minutes and done 3 times a week.

After each phase, you have a recovery week to prep you for next phase. You will need the time to recovery before jumping into the next phase. You are not expected to keep up with the people on the videos so don’t worry. In time, your body will get stronger and you will improve on your numbers. “Do your best and forget the rest” is Tony’s motto throughout the workouts.

You are allowed to modify moves if need be. Remember that the people on the videos have gone through the program and are at a different fitness level then you so do not get discouraged. This is especially true for those who have not done much in the form of exercise. Should you try P90X? Absolutely! With hard work, dedication, and following what the program tells you and with good nutrition, it is a winner.
