P90x Videos

After watching the P90X infomercial I decided I needed to get in better shape. We were headed to the beach for vacation and I didn't want to look like I shouldn't be there.

So I got the package and it includes a lot. I thought it might be more than I could handle, but once you start, it just becomes habit to stay disciplined with the course. There are 12 dvds, each with a different workout program. It also includes a fitness guide, a workout calendar and a nutrition guide.

The dvd titles are titled - Chest and Back, Plyometrics, Shoulders and Arms, Yoga X, Legs and Back, Kenpo X, X Stretch, Core Synergistics, Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, Back and Biceps, Cardio X and Ab Ripper X. You don't need to join a gym. It can all be done at home. You do need some dumbells or resistance bands and a door way type pull-up bar.

So I got started with the core synergistics and went thru each one. I honestly could not complete each one. I ended up doing abbreviated workouts. Plus I was not as disciplined with my nutrition. I do like a burger and beer occassionally. But, I began to slim down and noticed some slight changes in my body after about 2 and a half weeks! This was very motivating. After the ninety day period I was quite happy with my weightloss and body tone.

My conclusion? It works. The P90X program is a great weightloss and muscle toning program for both men and women. It is hard, so you can't be a complete couch potato or you will need to start very slow. But I also believe this program is good for all ages - I am 50. You can also do it at your own pace, as I did. This one comes highly recommended by me, a regular guy.

Another great workout dvd is the Insanity program. This is the home workout you see offered on those infomercials featuring Shaun T.

These workout videos are unique because its a total body workout program that uses no equipment or weights to get a toned, fit body. Its not some slow boring workout, but you will be doing high intensity movements with short rests in between, thus the secret to the success of this program. It can be done completely at home or in your apartment and is designed for a 60 day period.

The Insanity workout package includes the following: 10 exercise dvds - Fit Test, Plyometric Circuit, Cardio Power & Resistance, Cardio Recovery, Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs, Core Cardio & Balance, Max Interval Circuit & Fit Test, Max Interval Plyo, Max Cardio & Cardio Abs and Max Recovery. Plus you'll get a nutrition plan, workout calendar and fitness guide.

Now what I did was add some of the Insanity workout aspects to my P90X workout. This kept me from getting bored and varied my workout. You don't have to do this, but it worked for me. It is designed to be done alone and is perfectly fine doing it that way.

My recommendation? For men or women of all ages, if you want a high intensity workout without equipment. then Insanity is for you. You may not get the overall muscular definition from this program but you will tone up and slim down.
