Thanks, from the looks of it I think I could give it go, the only problem I saw was the pull ups which I don't think I can do right now.

I wondered about the pullups too. I could do about 50 in high school and about 1 or 2 now:) I'm wondering if I should suck it up and get the bar or get more out of the bands? Anybody that can speak from experience?

Well, let me tell you this much. Remember that I am a 35 year old mother of 5 children. When I started, I could not do one pull up of any kind. Now I can do 10 reverse grip chin ups, 6 wide stance pull ups, and 8 close grip pull ups. Don't waste your time on the bands, just work on the pull ups with a chair and you will get it.

Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that I am officially a P90X graduate! It took me about 3 weeks longer than what is written, but I'm done! With our sports and school schedules, I'm very pleased that it didn't take me even longer. My son's baseball team traveled most weekends this summer, so that forced me to take more days off than I wanted, although truth be told my body probably needed it. Anyway, I am very proud of myself and probably in the best shape of my life and I wanted to let you guys know that if I can get through the 90 day program, then almost anyone can!

Same here. I am in a very seasonal business and feel like I could give this a go in the winter. My biggest fear is sticking to the nutritional plan.

Yeah, I didnt stick to the nutrition verbatim but as long as you follow it close and just cut out fast food, soda, beer, etc and include fruits, veggies, lean meats you'll see a tremendous improvement after just one month. Portion control is also a major part to take into consideration when eating. Just keep it small but eat 5 or 6 times a day.

I followed the nutrition plan pretty closely because I wanted to maximize my results. Also, it helped keep me from crashing and kept my energy up. Now the eating plan has become a new way of life and I love the way it makes me feel.

I did the Ab Ripper X workout (339 maybe?) tonight for the first time after my normal workout and it was incredibly difficult....couldn't make it through the entire thing just yet, but it is something to work toward...

Errrr.....3 :irked:

Is this workout designed to for in home only? I was planning on doing the weightilfting part at the gym, but do I need to be watching the DVD at all times when I'm doing the workouts? I'm a tad confused.

Yes, it is designed for in home. You really cannot do the workouts without the DVDs. Once you learn the workouts, you could take a cheat sheet with you to the gym and do a modified version of a few of them there if you wanted. For example, the "shoulders and arms" could probably be done pretty easily at the gym. P90X strongly encourages proper warm up and stretching and many of the exercises are done to failure in a specific period of time. It is kind of hard to understand without seeing the workouts, but once you get into it, you don't feel that need to get to the gym--at least I didn't.

My problem is I don't have a set of dumbbells or a pull up bar at my apartment.

Unfortunately OR, you really need both for the P90X. You can try and use the bands, but it is not nearly as effective, IMO. If you are going to shell out the bucks for the P90X, then you need a dumbbell set and bar. We bought a pull-up bar and mounted it in a door frame. Could you do something like that? They have the ones that are not permanent, so it wouldn't mess up your apartment.

I don't think the pull-up bar would be hard to manage. What is the range of weights I need for the dumbbells?
