In my opinion P90 and P90X are two of the best fitness programs out there. I am saying this from personal experience. Men and women can both benefit from these programs. P90 is mainly for people who want to get in shape by losing weight. I personally have went from a size 36 inch waist to a size 30 in mens pants. This is no joke, it took a while, was not easy, but the hard work paid off. I did this program for 90 days, and when I was done I could see my abs for the first time. When you first start this program it is not easy, but if you stick with it you will have amazing results.
P90X is for those who want to build stamina, endurance, and muscle. It is a program that will test you like you can not imagine. The work outs are definitely not easy. The more you do them the better your body will adjust and the easier it will get with time. First you must try the fitness test to see if you qualify to do the program, they do not want you to injure yourself. I personally think this is a great idea because there is no since starting something if your body is not physically ready. Equipment you will need for both programs are: dumb bells or resistance bands, and for P90X a pull up bar. While doing P90X do not be intimidated by the people in the videos at first because you must realize they have already completed the program, so when first starting out do not try to keep up with them. Go at your own pace.
If you want to get toned do more reps. To build muscle do less reps, but with more resistance(or weight). For men try using resistance bands that are between 20-40 pounds. For women try using resistance bands that are between 15-30 pounds. I personally have used both resistance bands and hand weights, whichever you choose is up to you. The videos are aimed at working different parts of your body, so the exercises are not boring.
In short P90X and P90 both do work. I personally have tried them and am hooked. The results you get will astonish you. I am not trying to hype up these programs, just giving you the facts from my own personal experience with both programs.
