Re: P90X

Right now the cost of weights are not a option since i will be spending 120 on p90x. So would bands work to start off?How do you know what weight you are using with the bands? Like Weights have different pounds of them. I have one of them Iron Gym pull up bars you put on the door . You can put it on the floor and use it for push ups. So would that work instead of buying a PUSH UP bar too?

Also i see people eating 3000 calories is that normal for this work out? I'm 5'6 168 pounds. I have beer belly!! So how many calories would i need to eat. I want to get Cut more then like a body builder.

Re: P90X

Alright just ordered p90x from the beachbody site. So i have that band that i posted but do i need more bands? I looked online and seen some with more bands that hook to the handle guess each one is more weight? .This one is like 2 braided together.

So do i need to take anything supplements? I have no clue about them

Re: P90X

If you follow the workouts and stick to the diet plan you will lose that beer belly, no doubt. If you are unsure about the weights, just go with the bands to start with and see how they work for you. I used the bands and they were really all I needed at the time. I didn't get big, but I got nice and toned up, which is really what I was going for.

I also lost 18 pounds and now pretty much eat what I want in moderation. If I stay away from soft drinks, I can keep the weight off pretty easily. Diet Cokes, Coke Zero and water are my new best friends. Sweet Tea and Mt. Dew are now only an occasional reward.

You don't, you just try your best. They also have someone using the bands to show you for most of the exercise. Like Weights have different pounds of them.

There you go.

Re: P90X

I started it with bands but had to stop because I snapped all 4 of my bands.....So I will probably buy some weights tomorrow so I can start back up. I did the plyometrics videos 2 days ago just for fun and my legs are still sore.

Re: P90X

I was interested in starting p90x.How much did you spend on p90x? or has everyone just acquired it from someone?

I spent my money on equipment. 2 millions copies have been sold world wide, they aren't suffering from me getting it from a friend.

I did shell out $50 worth of giftcards for their official recovery drink that cost probably $2 to make. So that made up for it.

Re: P90X

I'm on day 4 and lost 6 pounds so far. Day one was a killer Chest and BACK work out. My inside shoulder was killing me the next day. Plus i had to do the AP ripper x so i w as really sore the next day. The last two workouts been great felt good after doing them. the Plyometrics Plus the shoulder and arms.

I just have a hard time eating the 5 meals i eat them but i feel full before eating. I use to stay hungry but now i just feel full all the time.

Anyone know a good recovery drink thats cheaper then P90X ONE

Re: P90X

Hey babythug23, which dumbbells did you end up buying? I have a pull-up bar, bands, and a mat. Anything else?

[babythug23]

Re: P90X

I'm still using the bands! They say you need yoga blocks but i did the yoga x today and didn't think i needed them.

whats your weight? You could get by with 2 weight variations your first go through. You want a challenging weight and a lighter weight.

as an example the first go through I used 25 as my heavy and 20 as my light so at the beginning i would do reps with 25 and then when that got too hard I would go down to 20 and if I needed even less I would just use the bands or one of my wife's weights.



that's a good start if you don't want to drop hundreds on free weights. Take note though that some exercises do require lesser weight so even 20 might be too heavy for some like weighted circles and things like that.

Re: P90X

I had 5, 10, 20, 25 and 30. There was only one workout(and it's variation, lawnmowers) the entire 90 days where I needed something heavier. You need like 60s for lawnmower they are easy. There is a pretty big jump between 20 and 30 and I am glad I had the 25s because I would have either done 5reps with the 30lb or 15reps with the 20lb and I needed 10reps

Re: P90X

I weigh 140 and the only weights I have right now are puny 5 pounders lol. The 2 light and heavy weights seem like a good idea. How much did they cost?
