Congratulations.... You have taken the all important first step. You have decided to do something about your health and you are doing your research about a program called P90X. You probably saw the P90X infomercial late at night and thought it is something you could try. Now I am sure you saw the results of the people on the informercial and thought that there is no way that you could achieve those same results. Well I am here to tell you, you can! You are why I created this page. Here you will find exactly what you need to get started with P90X and step by step instructions on how to begin. Once you have ordered and received your P90X Extreme Home Fitness, it is very important that you follow the instructions that come with the program. So this page will just give you a brief overview of how to get started.

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.
