You're looking to get started with P90X, are you? Well, I will try to convey the best and simplest plan to do so. For those of you who don't even know what P90X is (which probably means you haven't been watching TV at all because there's an infomercial on every 2 minutes), let me give you a brief explanation. P90X is a DVD exercise program that is supposed to get you in shape, help you lose weight, build and tone your muscle, and overall just keep you very fit. There are several DVDs in the program, each one designed for a different purpose. Some are to build certain muscles and some are to increase your aerobic activity. All the DVDs are hosted by Tony Horton, who is extremely motivating and fun to watch.
Now that you know what P90X is, let me explain how easy it is to get it. You'll need to go to the P90X website and order the DVDs which currently cost around $120, plus shipping. This may sound like a lot of money, but I honestly feel it is worth it, as you can tell from my other posts.
Once you are set on ordering the DVDs, there are a few other items you should consider buying. You will need a pull up bar. The kind I had was the one that was just an expandable bar that screwed into a doorway (one without a door though!), like a hallway. It will be noticeable and leave large holes in the wall, so keep that in mind. The other kind you could buy would be something like the Iron Gym bar. Another type of equipment you will need is some sort of weights. Read my earlier post about what I purchased for that. The last thing I would definitely recommend buying is a mat, like a yoga mat, especially if you only have hardwood floors to train. A final thought about equipment is if you want to save some money and storage space, feel free to buy resistance bands instead of a pull up bar and dumbbells. You can perform every exercise with a resistance band instead if you would like, plus you can buy different force resistance bands as you progress, which I know you will!
Hopefully that will get you started. Read my previous posts to see how I did with P90X, and hopefully you will make the huge gains you are looking for as well!
