What they say about "P90X Extreme Home Fitness with Tony Horton"?
J.Cho,a practicing medical doctor, said that P90X Extreme Home Fitness with Tony Horton is the best workout program He has ever tried. Its also the most complete in 1 package approach He has seen. It takes some very cutting edge stuff in excercise science & makes it reality.
What I really like about it is it gives a very effective workout & you get faster results because of its use of muscle confusion which gives more efficient work outs because the muscle groups are constantly changed. It also works out all the major muscle groups & gives cardio, yoga, martial arts & stretching in addition to simple strength training. It also gives a book on dieting. Each specific part-the strength training, dieting, cardio, nutrition, they are all in tune modern scientific knowledge. Even the martial arts DVD has you doing moves that are real martial arts (& I've taken martial arts lessons for years). I'm no yoga expert, but people I know who have done it for years were impressed with its yoga DVD.
I have found this DVD more effective than working out in a high end gym for about 1 hr a day. You don't need much equipment, about $150 worth of equipment tops (some dumbells, a pull up bar, you can get more but this is all you really need).
The only thing I didn't like about this series is you have to spend over an hour a day on several of the workouts. This is very time consuming though you will see results fast. I suggest that some of the portions of the workout be performed at double speed on the DVD player such as warm up & stretching to save time. I've been able to cut the workout down by about 10-15 minutes (to about 45-55 minutes a day) but in my opinion I get the same benefits because I do think the stretching & warm up are on the long side. Aside from that I think this DVD series is the best there is.


Tennis5 "Realestateguru" love P90X Extreme Home Fitness with Tony Horton. It works great.
I purchased this after having it recommended to me by my boot camp instructor and a friend who is a nutritionist. I will say I was a little hesitant, as I am about anything that has an infomercial. But after doing the program, I will have to say it is as legit as it gets. It kicked my butt...even the Yoga X is rough to get through. This program is NOT for someone who is out of shape...you should be in pretty decent shape to start it unless you want to spend a lot of your time just resting. If you are just starting out, go for the Power 90 instead. At any rate, my fat percentage went to half of what it was, I went from pushing an almost 38 waist to a 32 and from 230 lbs to 205. I am almost 6-4 and a pretty big guy...this program just toned and cut me up like nothing else. The nutrition program is spot on too...no gimmicks, just good healthy eating. I had tried Tae Bo and several other programs, but nothing compared to P90X. FYI, I am not a coach for P90X and do not sell any of their goods...just wanted to give a good honest review about it. Bottom line, if you follow the program, you will get in the best shape of your life.

Thought I should edit this...as of Sept 08, I now AM a coach for Beachbody...product has helped me so much, I decided to join in and try to help others with it. Just as an update, I am on my 2nd 90 days and I have gone from 24% body fat down to 16%. My goal is 12% and I fully expect to attain it this year!
