Ha ha! I've been doing something orange and martial arts-related for months now, just picking and choosing from a bunch I downloaded.

I love you P90X

Highly recommended- some Disks are easy- most are very difficult

We've had P90X for some time now and use it on and off. I just threw in the core synergistics last night and man am I feeling it today!

I did P90x for the first time today..... Loved it!!! I am relatively weak, though, and looking forward to getting to the point of doing unassisted pull ups.

We should start a group here because I will be curious to see how this will negatively/positively affect my running.

My wife purchased it last year and did one or two workouts. It was too intense for her. She said it was all about muscle confusion. Well, she ended up confused I guess, because it was sent back for a full refund.

The only difference
That I see
Is you are exactly the same

I'd join a P90x group. My spouse and I are going to start it after the holidays. I am hoping to keep a minimum 30mpw doing the program.

3 office duffsitters I work with tried P90X 3-4 monthes ago. They all lasted about 2 monthes and then 2 of the 3 ended up hurting their backs. The 3rd gave up due to lack of company. I would sit in on the easier stuff, the yoga and stretching. It is pretty intense stuff and if you aren't active or used to that sort of thing, it seems like it could be conducive to injury.

I was intersted in P90X based on things I heard. Rumors if you will.

I clicked on this thread to learn more.

I didn't read anything after this post from page 1 because P90X is now dead to me.

re: people getting injured.

they have tons of disclaimers about how intense it is... and they recommend you pass a fitness test before you even start it. I am sure that people get injured, but I just think you have to be smart about it. Don't do the exercises with poor form... easier said than done, though.

Well, that's a problem/risk with lots (all, probably) of the do-it-in-your-living-room dvd programs... exercising with poor form leading to injury. Not just this. Yoga is notorious for that...

I haven't gotten into P90X mostly because it sounds like a watch or a gps.

(ok, not really. Last year, it just sounded like The Next Big Trend. And it has been. Bets being taken on what's next.)

I'm placing my bet on P91x.

When you're on your deathbed, you won't be wishing that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will be wishing that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

There's already P90x+ but it's designed to be sort of a "maintenance mode" thing after doing P90x.

This is their new hardcore program.
