Phase 1 is the Fat Shredder phase in which you’ll be consuming a high protein and low carbohydrate diet in order to build muscle and shrink fat. Phase 2 is the Energy Booster phase where you’ll be eating both carbohydrates, protein and small amounts of fat in order to optimize your energy performance. Phase 3 is the Endurance Maximizer where you’ll be eating proteins, small amounts of fat and more carbohydrates in order for you to make your way through your final leg of this 90-day training journey.
EXERCISE
Exercise is the basis of the P90X. The workout system includes 12 workouts that over such areas as resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, and core-conditioning. You are encouraged to do a workout a day while taking rest days according to the P90X training guidelines.

Amazing workout. Even the stretch day works muscles that you didn't know you had. I'm 53 and out of shape. But you just do what you can and come back the next day. You will feel so good in your head for committing to this program.

+I love P90X! I have been doing it for 2 months now and I feel great! The trick is to make sure your body is getting enough protein and write down all your reps. I use http://www.my90x.com to track all my workouts.

+This is only day 2 for me. I done one last night and then again this morning. I am trying the "Lean" plan. I love the energy and the way my body feels after a video. So far I have been able to keep up fairly well. I have put forth every amount of effort possible and if there is one I can't do, I substitute it by jogging in place or doing a modified version of the exercise. I am 5'5 190 lbs. I plan on getting back to 125 (pre baby weight) if the good Lord is willing. I am so excited to see my results after 90 days...I'm pretty ecstatic to see my results this time next week as well =). I will update my progress as I go.

+On my 4th day of P90X and I have already lost 5 pounds! Diet is easy to follow if you have the willpower and once I did the first video I was hooked! Very excited to keep going, I leave for Hawaii on my last day!

+I just started last night...and def could not keep up. However, I stuck with it and tried even if I couldnt do something more than twice. I hope I get better at this - I didnt realize how out of shape and non-flexible I was till now.....godspeed

Nanita, you could use resistance bands with a door attachment instead of the pull up bar above the door.

+I lost 35 pounds on this program, without really following the diet program at all. 250 to 215 in 2 months. Then I got all messed up and had to stop, still have not gained any back and am starting up again. Great workouts, you will have to work very hard but it is worth it.

I want to start joining P90x program. Yet there is now way I can place the pull up bar on any of my doors. Can any one tell me if I still can do the exercise without it and get a nice result?

53 yrs-old and on day 14. Have lost 15 lbs, down 3 belt notches and from a 40 waist to 36. P90X is tough, the 1st week I could not do most of the exercises, now can do, but not the # of reps in the video.

I'm on my 9th day, and woooww the workouts are hard...no, no...the word hard is an understatement. It truly tests every aspect of you, but I absolutely love it. I try my best to keep up with the nutrituion guide, and I don't need to lose weight, just need to get buffed. So far my family memebers say they see some good results on me, and this is just day 8!!

I just finished week one of P90x....yay! The first few days were brutal (soreness, walking funny due to jelly legs)! I ordered this to get back in shape and lose weight. I am 6 months post-op from ACL surgery so am cautious in some of the moves; however, overall, it is great, as the modified moves are also demonstrated. If I feel like I am getting too tired and not keeping my form, I stop and collect myself and either start again on that move or move on to the next.
posted Jun 16th, 2010 5:07 pmI must admit, it took me a while to get to this point; however, I want to be able to wear great clothes and not worry about having my picture taken! See you in 83 more days!!!
