P90X – Day 1
Jan 19th, 2009 by Josh
Well, since the last post Emily and I have decided to start the P90X program. You can visit the site for P90x Here. There is tons of information about it available all over online so I’m not going to go into it that much. In a nutshell:
- 90 days long
- Strict diet as well as workouts
- Mix of cardio style workouts with heavy strength training
- Essentially workout every day of the week for the 90 days.
There are some amazing before and after pictures showing people with huge results after only the 90 day program. From what I have read, it sounds like the diet is the most crucial part.
One thing that I liked about P90X is the small amount of workout equipment that you need. We purchased the P90X chin-up bar (Here) and the entire resistance bands set (Here). It was way less expensive than the entire set of dumbells or the selectech dumbells from Bow-Flex. This was all of the equipment needed. We both use the bands during the strength training and Emily uses the bands and a door for pullups while I use the chin-up bar.
I could probably have come up with a workout that would do the same thing, but the way P90X is written down and you simply do what it says should help Emily and I stay focused and on track. We’ll see. I do know that both of us are serious. I’ll post our before and after pictures and possibly the 30-day and 60-day pictures so stay tuned.
