P90X has multiple personalities and much like a classic, old-fashioned western movie, when discussing P90X as weight loss tool for those of us with ongoing weight problems, the program ends up being 51 percent good, 25 percent bad and 24 percent just plain ugly.

Thank you for this. I was thinking about buying this program. I think I’ll stick with my cardio and weight training program. It’s working SO far.
i’m doing it and hating it and it seems to be working though. just don’t now how long i will be able to stick with it cuz i have to force myself everytime.
TOO WEIRD. Picked this up last week. Was totally dedicated to it or about two days. WAY too intense or these old bones.
have to show this vid to my husband who has never had a problem with his weight and is doing p90x and keeps bugging me to do it with him. i just started walking and i really like that and i hav eno interest in doing exercise videos. i have decided to tell him that if he doesn’t shut up, i am going to switch over from walking to your suggestion of ‘naked gardening’. I bet he will change his tune then!
I bought the program and then almost choked over all the equipment they wanted me to buy. I didn’t stay with it, but it did get me started in going to the gym, so you are right about it being both good and bad,
Been waiting for this one. Had a feeling this was going to be too intense for me. I am workingon taking off 90 pounds and I had seen the info mercial and was curious. your videos are really spot on! Thank you. HLk
