P90X

P90X is a revolutionary system of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts, designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. You'll also receive a comprehensive 3-phase nutrition plan, specially designed supplement options, a detailed fitness guide, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more. Your personal trainer, Tony Horton, will keep you engaged every step of the way, and you won't believe your results!

Why is P90X so effective?
The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "Muscle Confusion," which accelerates the results process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus, and you never get bored! Whether you want to get lean, bulk up, or just plain get ripped, there's an endless variety of ways to mix and match the routines to keep you motivated the full 90 days and beyond!

What You Will Need To Get Started

1) A Place To Do Pull Ups

Beachbody has a pull up/chin up bar designed especially for the P90X program. It mounts to any standard size interior doorway. It's $44.95 plus shipping. It's really nice and a good deal for the money. You can check it out in the Million Dollar Body Store by clicking here.

2) A Good Yoga Mat

I can't stress enough how important a good yoga mat is. You'll be using this for yoga, "Ab Ripper X", and some of the other workouts. A poor mat can leave your tailbone exposed to a hard floor. Speaking of tailbones, some people will even want MORE padding when doing Ab Ripper X. I know some folks that fold a towel a few times and lay it under their tailbone.

Check out the Manduka Mat that Million Dollar Body carries. You can see it in the MDB store by clicking here. It will be listed under "accessories".

3) Dumbells and/or Resistance Bands

People ask me all of the time, which is better, dumbbells or resistance bands. I tell them both. Each has advantages.

Resistance bands can be used throughout P90X in place of the dumbbells. In fact, one of Tony's "kids" (as he calls them his workout buddies in the P90X workouts) will be demonstrating the exercise using a resistance band. Million Dollar Body carries "B Lines" resistance bands. You can check out the B-Lines resistance bands in the MDB store by clicking here. They will be listed under "accessories" once you're inside the store.

4) Heart Rate Monitor

Beachbody recommends that you use a heart rate monitor to gauge your intensity and progress during workouts. They have a nice monitor made by Reebok in the MDB Store.

5) Yoga Blocks

These are also recommended by Beachbody/Million Dollar Body to use during Yoga. The blocks offer added support to assist with balance while holding certain poses. The MDB Store carries them.

6) Body Fat Tester

This will give you an accurate reading on your body fat throughout the program. These are available in the MDB Store.

7) Push Up Stands

The stands take all of the pressure off of your wrists. You can find Tony Horton's Powerstands and one other set of push up stands in the Million Dollar Body Store by clicking here.

Things To Do Before You Start P90X

Step 1: Watch the How to Bring It video.

Step 2: Record your measurements. This step is very important, because you may not see the results of your hard work when looking at the scale or while comparing your Day 1 pics to you Day 30, 60 and 90 pics. But you will see them in these numbers. Your measurements should include:

Body Fat %
Weight
Chest
Waist
Hips
Right Thigh
Left Thigh
Right Arm
Left Arm

Step 3: Take your before photos. Then post them somewhere you will see them every day. Take a long hard look at these pics, because if you follow the program as designed you will never look that way again. Posting them in the Beachbody Message boards is also good for accountability and motivation, but more about that later.

Step 4: Take the Fit Test. Another very important step, because as I learned some people just are not ready to start P90X. Don't worry it is nothing to be ashamed of, P90X is extreme! Should you discover you are not ready for P90X message me and I can steer you towards another work out which will get you ready to tackle P90X. (More about this in the post below.)

Step 5: Get your kitchen in order. Wow, I can't tell you how crucial this is to your success with P90X. I recommend to most of the people I coach, that once you decide to take on P90X, that you spend atleast a week before beginning P90X, cleaning out your kitchen. Get rid of all the junk food you have, remove all temptations. Your diet is as important if not more then exercising to your success.

Step 6: Go to the Beachbody Message Boards for motivation, accountability and support. This is probably the most underated of all the steps. I can't tell you how many times I have turned to the message boards, when my frustration level was at a critical level.

Recommended Supplements

1) Beachbody Peak Recovery Formula:

We know from extensive scientific research that there is an approximate 60 minute window of opportunity following exercise when muscle cells are primed to repair, rebuild, and adapt from a hard workout. The P90X recovery drink was designed to provide the precise nutrients you'll need to achieve maximum results from your p90X workout. Proper post workout nutrition is a KEY FACTOR in your success with P90X!

Ingredients include protein, creatine, L-Glutamine, and L-Argenine. Ladies, don't worry about the creatine making you "bulky' either. It's only about 500 mg%u2026about 10% of a normal serving of creatine. It's there to enhance performance without adding bulk.

You will find the Peak Recovery Formula in the Beachbody Store. Click on the "Nutrition tab" once inside the store.

2) P90X Peak Health Formula Vitamins:

These vitamins are pretty incredible. You take 6 "easy to swallow" pills each day. It's a high potency multivitamin + so much more. It has immune support, energy support, cardiovascular support, memory and nerve support, anti-aging support, anti-stress support, & support for skin, hair, and nails.

3) Whey Protein Powder:

P90X demands A LOT from your body. You have to fuel it with enough protein. Protein is a key component in your first 30 days of p90X. Protein is harder for the body to break down. As it is working harder to break the protein down, it has to burn more calories. There's a novel idea%u2026Have the body burn calories while you're doing nothing! Brilliant!

One of the cleanest and best sources of protein is Whey Protein Powder. Beachbody sells a great tasting chocolate and vanilla flavor. I recommend Vanilla.

You will find the Beach Body Whey Protein Powder in the Beachbody Store. Click on the "Nutrition tab" once inside the store.

I personally have not tried Beach Body's Whey Protein, I currently use GNC's Whey Protein. Which I have been happy with, but I will most likely switch once my supply runs low.

4) P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars:

The P90X Nutrition Guide calls for performance bars during your first 60 of the 90 days. They are phased out in the last 30 days. The main thing with an energy protein bar is to find something you like.
