I just received the p90x from the UPS man last night. I haven't started yet but for those of you that have. Do you have any before and after pics?
What kind of results can really be expected?
I don't know if I really buy into the commercials about being ripped in 90 days but I do plan to find out.

Some of the infomercials show results after several rounds...but, many, many people get great results in 90 days. You should check out their message boards for pictures.

I'm with DawgMichelle on this one. If you are in decent shape prior to embarking on this program, you CAN see results like the infomercial in 90 days.
I started at almost 290 lbs and 34% bodyfat so it wasn't going to happen in one round. I might be to the point where I'm ready to post pics at the end of round 2.

I finished my second Round about 2 weeks ago and plan on starting Round 3 when the Cavs season if over. (that better be while!) I know I won't be able to get up at 4:30 am to workout the morning after games, so for now I am doing mostly cardio dvd's on the off mornings and the weekends. I won't post my before pics (Just because of what I was wearing) and haven't done the after 120 pics yet. But here just a regular pic of me taken about 3 weeks ago. I didn't have a lot of weight to lose, but dropped about 15 pounds altogether. It's inches I lost that were really impressive. Trust me....if you stick to the program and the nutrition plan you WILL see results.

And then will you start back up again? You know you wanna be like Brett. 
Been reading this thread and pondering the P90X workout. I'm no where near in good enough shape to be all hard-core, but I have to start somewhere, right?

You don't have to be hard core LIsa. You can follow the LEAN program which a lot of women prefer...it is more cardio intensive and has less focus on getting ripped.
I like the classic, just because I really wanted to get more muscle tone due to my age and having 2 kids. Plus my upper body has always been fairly weak and I wanted to get a little stronger overall.

Nice job, gobrowns.
BrownsBabe...Tony always says "modify, modify, modify" and "do your best and forget the rest." When I started I was 288 lbs and was huffing and puffing and now I'm going to start doing plyo with a weighted vest on. You CAN do this but just do it at YOUR pace until you advance and improve.

Yup, I could barely get through Plyo routine the first few times I did it.....and now three+ months later I can blast through it with stars! My heart rate hits 180 only twice (in the section with the Rock Star Hops).
Funny, I hit my heart rate max 8-12 times while doing Interval Plus. That one still kicks my butt!
I've gotten a little loose in the past 2-3 weeks.....I need to refocus.

I have the P90X Plus dvd's but haven't really checked them out.
My buddy who has dropped 70 lbs on this program (and is shredded) and just finished day 180 said his abs really started to pop when he started doing the Abs/Core Plus dvd. I'm gonna have to rewatch the Kenpo/Cardio Plus dvd too.

Babe, you could also start with the original Power 90 (P90) instead of P90X (X = extreme). It's really a great program if one sticks to it.

Well...core synergistics just became my SECOND favorite workout. I LOVE that Abs/Core + and will be doing it 3x's per week now along with Ab Ripper X twice.
Can't wait to see what Kenpo/Cardio + holds for me this afternoon. It will be my first time doing that one.

I'm currently doing doubles with Cardio X 3x's per week in the mornings of my weight training days. I just got done watching my Interval X video which looks like it's more intense than Cardio X.
I was thinking of subbing Cardio X for Interval X on my non-chest training days (2x's per week) and keeping Cardio X the morning of my chest training days.
The reason for no Interval X on chest days is that I saw three different pushup exercises in the Interval workout and I want my chest to be fresh for that workout.
I'm ALWAYS looking for MORE intensity.
Thoughts?

The original version might just be the what I'm looking for at this point. I've got to start somewhere and I'm so out of shape, I've got asthma from it when I exert myself.
But, I may just start out with swimming as that's about as low impact as you can get. It won't activate the asthma, then once I'm in better shape and the asthma goes away (which I'm told it most likely will when I lose weight), then I get into the higher impact/exertion stuff.

Been adding a few of the P90X+ DVD's into my rotation this week including Abs/Core+, Interval X+ and Kenpo/Cardio+, which I will be doing tonight.
Still doing doubles but on Sun/Tues/Thurs it's more like triples with Interval X+ or Cardio X at 3:45am, Ab Ripper X on my lunch hour in my office at work and then a weight workout (Chest/Shoulder/Tri, Back & Bi's, Legs & back until week 9) at night.
I start week 7 of round 2 on Sunday.
Hope all is going well and you're still bringing it !!!

Dropped 2 more pounds over the last 2 weeks (53 total since I started this in December). The weight is coming off slower but the bodyfat is dropping so no biggie. I think the slowing of the weight loss has something to do with how heavy I lift.

Hey Devil....just wondered how it was going. I think I'm going to start my third time through P90X next week. I won't have to get up quite as early since I don't have to worry about getting the kids off to school...I was getting up at 4:30.
I've still been working out about 4 days a week, but did want to take a little break from some of the workouts. Still do Plyo once a week though - my favorite by far!
Anyway, hope you are still pushing play!

I started my 2nd round.....it's been a little slow recently but I'm picking up speed. I skipped Legs and Back in Week 1 because I hurt my neck at the beginning.......and then when I did it on the 2nd week, I realized I hadn't pushed my legs that hard for 3+ weeks. It's 3 days later and my legs are STILL killing me.

The Legs & Back dvd is one of the hardest imo. Those frickin' one legged wall squats kill!!

I can't even do that move for a single second. I just do a second round of two-legged wall squats but stay down for double the length.
What's your most amount of pull-ups performed in that routine? Mine = 85 (I don't use the Chest/Back & Back/Biceps as the standard since those use other upper body parts which makes "maxing out the reps" a bit difficult) My goal is 100+ by July. And coming from someone that struggled to do 10 pull-ups in 6 months ago, I think it's pretty good.

Oh yeah...I'm in rest week (week 8, round 2) right now and I've changed some things around to up the intensity.
First off, on weight training days I'm doing "triples" which include Interval X+ (P90X+ dvd) on Sunday & Tuesday (Tuesday at 3:45am) and Cardio X on Thursday at 3:45am (Interval X+ is too intense to do on a leg day). At noon I'm doing ARX at my office and then I do the weight workouts in the evening.
During weight workouts, like plyometrics, I've added a "bonus round" which includes either two supersets or trisets of barbell or machine exercises for a little "extra."
I've also ditched Kenpo X in favor of Kenpo/Cardio X+ from the P90X+ DVD's. For extra ab work I'm also doing Abs/Core+ from the P90X+ series.
I've outgrown the Kenpo X and Cardio X DVD's and needed a little something more.
BTW... has anyone seen "Insanity?" I'm not going to do it because there's no weight training in it but my buddy got an advance copy and he said Beachbody has done it again. He's done P90X twice and says he's NEVER sweated like he did doing Insanity.
Hadn't been posting on this thread because it was kind of a ghost town and I felt stupid bumping my own posts.

Sorry man, 6 hours of sleep a night doesn't cut it for me - you must be younger than me. (6 hours - in bed at 9:30, up at 3:30 - that's what I'm assuming).
Used to be I could go to bed at 3:30 AM and be at work at 8:30 no problem. Work til 6 or 9, depending on the day.......not anymore.
And my butt isn't getting out of bed at 3:30 am unless I'm going to the bathroom, there's a fire, or someone breaks in my home and stupidly wakes me up.
Kudo's to you and the others that are getting fit. But do you really need to work out 3 times a day, watch what you eat, and have no fun?

I love what I do. The third workout, at lunch is only 15 minutes so I guess you could consider it 2.5 workouts. If I didn't love it I wouldn't do it. I'm 41 years old.

Yup, he is. Working out is the last thing I think about, but reading the results from people on here - I'm glad they do it/can do it. I have what some would consider a physically taxing job - hot work, lots of sweat, walking, etc (last summer I weighed myself before work, worked, drank all day - coffee, then water all day, then had a couple beers that evening - weighed myself that night and I had lost 2 pounds. Went back and calculated the weight of what I had drunk during the day - it was 17 or 18 pounds of fluid, and I didn't pee all that much)
Like I said, working out is the last thing I think about. Luckily, my job is a great substitute for working out. I'm not getting ripped from my job, but it keeps my weight in check.

Oh...and BTW, there's another reason I'm doing this...I have EVERY intention of being a finalist in the Million Dollar Body contest for 2010. Unless something has changed in the rules, the $250k wouldn't hurt my pocketbook.

Go for it man. The worst you can do is not win. But in the process you'll be better off. That's a win win situation as far as I'm concerned.
What is your job?

I'm up a little later than usual. Just guzzled my casein protein shake so I'm off to bed.
I'm an executive recruiter (headhunter). I was formerly a pro wrestler. I wrestled while I worked for my company during a seven year stretch.
As far as that third workout, I could condense it to two if I wanted to do the ARX (ab workout) immediately following my evening workout.
The reason I split it is because ARX is so intense that I don't get the full effect after doing a weight workout. I want my body to be fresh when I workout.
What I'm doing is not for everybody and I wouldn't push it on anybody. I enjoy working out quite a bit.

Misses and I just finished our second day w/ Plyo.... and we thought Chest & Back were bad!
The lady for the past year has been walking a mile a day and doing over an hour of cardio work a day and got burned just about as bad as I did and i have terrible habits :P
its exciting though and we're gonna keep pushing play!

I don't technically do pull-ups. I started out using the bands which I attached to a hook in my ceiling. I found that to be enough for me. I'm 44 & female and didn't feel the need to be able to crush pull-ups. Even doing it the way I do, I have seen great results!

Congrats on starting P90X gage! The first few weeks might be rough, but stick with it...you won't be sorry!! I remember when I started out my body felt like I had been hit by a truck.
