I keep seeing this ad for it , my friend says it worked for a co worker of his, has anyone else seen anyone who actually used it or used it for their self my wife is bugging the hell out of me to get it for her.

P90X is serious sh*t, but it wont necessarily put serious size on you.
Its great for leaning out and definition, but Ill warn you, its not for
the faint of heart. P90X is pretty intense, and the for the first few weeks,
unless you are an advanced lifter/exerciser you cannot completely
follow the trainers for every single workout, or else you wont be able
to walk, and im not kidding about that. If you follow the program and its
accompanying diet, the results are pretty dramatic. You combine that with
some super supps and fatburners, and you will be a completely new person in 90 days.

My wife really wants is to loose the baby fat she has from our second child, she is around 5' 7" and about 152 she wants to eventually get back to around 135 or so with some toning up. Wasn't sure if this would really do the trick. Thanks

Its awesome. Great for cutting or shedding unwanted pounds. My wife loves it too. Works all areas and has yoga and concentration style workouts too.

A friend of mine and his wife ran through the program and loved it.. He got great results.. very noticeable difference in his physique by the end of the program.. won't put size on you but will certainly kick your ass into shape..

My wife used it as well but if your wife has any kind of shoulder pain then stay away from it as the vast majority of it is push ups. It does work well and I also use it for active rest from weights.

Yes, I think P90x would be great for her...Just as long as she has worked out before and can push herself...it is really challenging for most.

Ive actually thought about getting this and trying it out just for something different. Ive also always wanted to give yoga a try too.

If i dont do a show this year, i maybe give this program and honest try to get in shape for the summer.....and to be able to keep up with my kid instead of huffing and puffing all the time trying to keep up with him.

i have to agree with everyone.. p90x is no joke.. and its not your typical dvd workouts.. this guy tony knows his stuff... u can follow him just fine, but u just keep the reps low.. or as many as u can do.. until u build yourself up..

the workouts i have seen, he has 3 ppl doing them, all on different levels..

example- pullups

1 person on the videos was doing them normal on a pull up bar-
the female in the video was also using a pullup bar, but had one foot on a chair to assist her

and the last guy was sitting and using the rubber bands in a pullup motion...

Its like anything else.. if your wife gives it 110% and eats right... she will look even better then she wants to

My brother is a PT and he uses some of the dvds for himself for cardio.. i know he really likes the kempo karate ( i think thats whats its called)
