Under: P90X
If you are wondering if p90x is right for you or if it to hard. I would have to say that the p90x is as hard as you make it. You can go at your own pace and work your way up. Push yourself a little harder each work out. When I started I could not make it through the whole videos. I could barely do push ups on my knees, and the ones I did were not with good form. Let's just say I was kind of a wimp. lol. After doing the p90x I can now do push ups with good form, but I still do them on my knees so I can make it through the whole video. If you are a Mom I would definitely recommend p90x to help you get in the best shape of your life. But if you have had children especially recently I would recommend you take extra precautions. See tips for moms. To join Beachbody (the makers of P90X) and get support and help join now free. If you do not have a lot of time I would recommend the 10 Minute Trainer.
I am a stay at home mother of 4 children eight and under. There is not a lot of extra time to go to the gym and working out. So I do my workouts at home. There are a ton of workout videos to choose from when it comes to working out at home and I am one to try them all. I had my fourth child in April of 2009. Two months after having him, I decided to do the p90x lean program. I started out doing it everyday, but having four kids at home I was limited to 3 times a week. So while it took me longer than 90 days I still saw results. In the beginning I could do absolutely no push ups or pull ups; I could not make it through the whole video doing everything properly; I could not do and still have a hard time doing the Ab Ripper, but I try to be careful since my abs are split from having children. While doing p90x I lost 15 pounds. I went down 3 or 4 pant sizes. I am definitely stronger and leaner. I can actually do push ups now after doing the p90x. I am still not where I want to be, but that is why I keep pushing play. Now I also do some Insanity, and have also done Billy's Boot Camp. I like to mix it up, but my favorite is the P90x.
