Where to Buy P90X?

This question comes up quite often so I thought I would answer it for you. I recommend you pick up your copy of P90X directly through the Beach Body store – You will get a true 90 day 100% money back guarantee with your purchase (Less S&H) and if you decide to return for what ever reason you will still be able to keep Ab Ripper X and the complete Nutrition guide.

I have warned you in the past so I will say it again – You can get your copy from Ebay or other online auction sites However, be very wary of fraud, in some cases I have heard of people getting some burned copies of P90X, or not receiving the full package. Keep in mind when you order from Beachbody directly you get the entire Brand New package and you will be assigned your very own coach.

When it comes to buying from anywhere else besides Beachbody – You have been warned.

Follow these easy steps to make sure you are buying the official P90X & getting your personal Beachbody coach to contact when you need help and have questions…

Step 1: Click Here to visit the official Beachbody website (will open in a new window).

Step 2: Scroll down the page until you see the “P90X Extreme Training System”, and click the “Shop Now” button to the right.

Step 3: Click the “Join Now” button at the bottom to create your Beachbody shopping account.

Step 4: Simply add the items that you want to order from Beachbody to your cart, and click the “Checkout” button.

In addition to buying the P90X home fitness program, there are a few other things I recommend:

  1. Get Signed up in the Beachbody Club
  2. The P90X Chin Up Bar
  3. Push-Up Stands
  4. Heart Rate Monitor
  5. Yoga Mat
  6. Plyometrics Mat
  7. Yoga Blocks
  8. Resistance Bands or Dumbbell

All of the above items can be ordered directly from Beachbody at the same time as your P90X order is placed and they’ll ship together. Some of those items are optional, but highly recommended if you want to get the best results from this program.

Wow so I feel like my poor blog is getting neglected since I haven’t posted many p90x reviews recently. For those that have been following I am very sorry for the lack of content. I know I update here and there but not enough, I got myself so spread out that I started to slow what I was doing here.That is going to change now!

So I am on the last weeks of P90X and things are winding down. I need some more weights and motivation. I spent a week with the flu and that pretty much derailed my efforts, though definitely not for good. There is really no way in hell I could let one week of being off track take away from my over all goal to be in the best shape of my life.

This a point in life where things are going alright and I could either keep going or let it have the best of me and fall apart. Money is a little tight and my motivation is teetering. The thing is though, life comes at you, it’s the people that look life in the face and realize they can’t control it but they can control how they react. Life happens, thing’s happen, you can’t control everything.

All you can do is bounce back even stronger, learn from everything and keep going, understand that you control your own destiny and start shaping your future with your actions today!

I know myself to well, I have been here before. So what’s the difference from last time and this time? Well, I am going to push back and dig down - I refuse to fall backwards!

Everything I want is already in front of me – Life itself is a good enough gift that one should be happy with. Death can teach you the greatest lesson you could ever learn, here today gone tomorrow. The only thing that you can bring to death is your spirit; not possessions, not money, not land, and not past experiences.

Nothing is going to change the inevitable, we all face the very same end result in this fragile life. But you have control over your own circumstances, everything that happens to you is because of you. Understand this and you will understand a lot more about your life.

You are truly in control, if things are not going well it’s because you are allowing it to be that way.

I have the potential to be in abundance, so don’t you, and so doesn’t a bum on the street. First you must learn that you have everything you already need regardless of where you live or what possessions you own. We are human and obviously strive to have all the money, power, and possessions that we can get. It’s human nature. But the fact that you breath air in and out of your lungs everyday is simply the most powerful gift you could ever have, life itself is power.

Now that you have life, you will have success. It really is that easy, everything else is just clock work.

Seize today my friends and live in the Now, not what you had, not where you want to be, live NOW!

I will be updating daily to several times a week again in my blog – Round 2 of P90X is quickly approaching me, diet is my key focus this time through. Expect some serious muscle mass, I do ;) . On top of a refined and consistent diet I will be adding some heavier weights to my workout, I really plan to challenge the 8-10 rep rule. Form is key!

Talk to you all soon!

If you are wondering, does p90x work? I can tell you first hand that it DOES but you must show up and follow the plan to the best of your ability. If you cannot commit to fitness and nutrition then it won’t work. If you CAN commit and you are ready to change your life, buy p90x and start immediately!

P90X Reviews | I’m So Sick 77 Days Into P90X!

P90X Reviews | 77 Days

I just recovered from a very nasty flu – I really haven’t been that miserable in awhile physically speaking. It was all body ache and a non-stop headache that persisted through day and night. Some night’s were sleepless because nothing was comfortable. Hell, even taking a shower hurt (I still did though lol).

After missing 3 workouts in my final weeks of the X in round 1 I am back on track and ready to go. This week was a little messed in the way I worked out and the routines that I did. When I started to get ill I couldn’t do my Kenpo because I thought I was just over tired. So I moved that into my rest day and just went through the motions.

I then missed my p90x workout chest & back the following day and also Ab ripper. Then I missed the following day which was Plyo. On my Shoulders & Arms day I was starting to feel a little better or so I thought, I completed Chest &  Back plus Ab Ripper. After coming home from work I realized I had over done it and had a terrible night, the next day I was feeling very ill and missed Friday.

I guess it just took that one more day to rest because on Sat I woke feeling alright and pushed into the P90X shoulders & arms workout rather than legs & back. Everything went smooth and I followed up with Ab Ripper.

Now today is Kenpo and I am back where I left off last week, I am doing Kenpo as normally scheduled and plan for week 12 to be fully on track!

Stay Tuned!

P90X Reviews | A 60 Day Review Of P90X

P90X Reviews | 60 Days Of P90X

I am going to show you my 60 days Measurements and Pictures – But first…

When I started this program I had little idea what was in store for me – I figured I would just jump right back into peak physical shape within 2 weeks like I had been years ago. It wasn’t until I completed day 1 that I realized how much work this was really going to be! I say this not to scare the P90X Newbie but to help you understand that this is real, intense, serious work.

P90X is not for the faint of heart or those looking to get a quick easy workout in their life. P90X is your new life, it requires time and it requires patience – my favorite aspect of P90X is that it’s not a bunch of heavy weights but more over its using your own body weight and abilities to increase your physical fitness. You bring what you can every workout and things can and will inevitably get better as long as you continue to bring it consistently.

My first two weeks were spent in a lot of pain – Lets call this “good pain” – but it was pain regardless. I could hardly get in and out of my car without bellowing like an old man that hasn’t worked out in 40 years – for the record I am 24 years old. I was stiff and I was hurting without a doubt.

I think I may have brought it to much during my first couple days – I had the mindset that I was going to blow this P90X thing out of the water and keep up with the pro’s in a matter of one week. To my satisfaction hat was not the case, it’s really not that easy! I love a good physical challenge and the P90X workout does not hold short on providing.

It was around my day 30 that I really started to see and feel the extreme results – My diet was really rough and spotty throughout the first two weeks so that may have contributed to my slow start. I had days where I would eat nearly perfect and days where I would go without eating anything; this was mainly due to my work schedule at the time. But once I started into my second phase of P90X I started to reach a balance or equilibrium in my diet.

I increased my protein intake and began to supplement with Creatine – Not that this is something you have to do but it is something I have always done when attempting to build muscle. After all my entire goal with P90X was to get into great shape but also to bulk up a bit. I am what many consider a “hard gainer” and I want to prove that P90X can help even the little guy pack on muscle and get a ripped lean looking body in those wonderful 90 days!

Upon reaching my 60 days I am now 2/3 through my first phase of the program and I can honestly say I haven’t felt this good in a long, long, long time. I wasn’t in this shape when I swam, ran track, and lifted regularly back in high school. Mainly because all for mentioned activities were sparse and spread out – I never understood the direct correlation between resistance training and aerobic exercise as one unit.

P90X does an amazing job with mixing all needed elements to get your body into peak shape. With a proper diet and a consistent workout routine there is no way in my mind that P90X can’t work – It is simply the tool to get in shape, You must accept the challenge and bring it consistently to get results.

I began Phase 3 week 9 with doubles (adding Cardio X in addition to the regular schedule 4 days a week). I am going to tell you that was the most intense week I had – It will leave you feeling absolutely fit but the problem I have is the time requirements – You must have 2-3 hours on the double days to devote to P90X.

I have that time but my unstructured days make it difficult, that is something I am working on and I hope after taking a singles week in week 10 I can go back to doubles for weeks 11 and 12. Obviously I will let you know and tell you what to expect!

I am going to part with you today with my pictures of day 60 and my current measurements – I do need to note that unfortunately I do not have the same camera and therefore the picture quality has suffered drastically. But never-the-less I promised some pictures so here they are.



Chest Waste Hips Thighs Arms
Day 1 38″ 33″ 35.5″ 22.5″ 12.5″
Day 60 38.5″ 31.5″ 35″ 21.5″ 13.5″
Results +.5″ -1.5″ -.5″ -1″ +1″

If you cannot commit to fitness and nutrition then it won’t work. If you CAN commit and you are ready to change your life, buy p90x and start immediately!

I have been working on a 60 day P90X review and will be posting soon – A few things you can expect.
  • 60 Day measurements
  • 60 Day pictures
  • A review from 1-60
  • Plans for the final 30 days of round one

P90x has been amazing so far and I would recommend it to anyone, the program truly is life changing. My body has gone through amazing transformation over the last 60 days with P90X even though I was not in terrible shape to start. The visual results are great but the overall physical and well being are astounding. I feel like I did back in High School!

I am proud to be a Beachbody Coach because they truly believe in the success of each individual. It’s a personal battle you must fight to complete such a task as P90X, but when you are complete you will feel the greatest accomplishment you could ever manifest! Change begins with you and takes place with a series of challenges but more over, an undying will to persevere!

Stay Tuned…
