I think this is a good series for anyone who feels as though their workouts have plateaued. It will get your physique jumpstarted. I will be hanging onto this for a while.

A solid workout. Very difficult if followed as instructed. Save yourself the frustration and just halve every weight workout. You will still get results and more importantly, won't give up or get hurt. Tony is an acquired taste, some of the DVDs let you mute him unless he is about to cue. You can also cut Tony out entirely by following the weight sheets (available on beachbody.com) once you've learned the moves.

Tony Horton = Life Change

"This program is everything they say on the infomercial.
It works you really hard. I'm just finishing up week seven and not having followed the
diet at all am still seeing excellent results.
This program requires a degree of mental toughness as well, becuase you get tired.
That being said I add this: eat more, eat good food, get good sleep and you'll be fine.

Its also a big time investment. Unless your already in really good shape you won't be able to
keep up with the video, leaving you with the option of not finishing the workout, or hitting the pause button
and taking more breaks. It takes me a little better than ninety minutes to get through a workout.
TIME WELL SPENT.

They do push the other products (recovery drink etc...) I don't feel its that intrusive.
Tony is a bit of a nerd. In our house he fits right in. Hope he keeps it up for future vids.

Helpful stuff:
Power block dumbells don't take up too much space.
you can get a 4'X 8' work out mat so your not sweating all over the floor, I got mine for about 30$ at a local fitness store.
I bought a pull up bar attachment for the power block bench. AND some bands to help build strength.
(I do pull ups to failure and then quickly switch to the bands to get extra reps. MODIFY!)
I started mixing 50% gatorade in my water and that seems to help get me through. ( I don't use any of their food products)
and MODIFY MODIFY MODIFY If you can't do it their way find a way that works for you (less reps or don't jump so high or what ever).

*************************

When your done you can take a week off and start again, or they give you other options P90X Lean which is more cardio based or P90X doubles which adds and extra cardio workout three days a week. Either way you have a workout you can use for the rest of your life.

Now I need to figure out if I want p90x Plus or insanity?"
