P90X Information

Yes, I love to workout to P90X.  The ability to get a good workout in the comfort of your home is priceless.  And it’s easier than you might think.  Wait, Jeff, won’t I need some equipment?

Great question!  Yes, you will.  To get started on P90X, here is what I would recommend you get to start:

Pull-up bar (available at most sporting good stores for about $30)
A few dumbbells between 5 and 25 lbs. to start
A dining room chair
That’s all you need to start!

Now, as you progress, or if you would like to be set-up with a nicer supply of equipment, here is what I use for my workouts:
PowerBlock dumbbell set – these give you weight options for weights 5 lbs. to 90 lbs.
Push up stands – for a deeper push up and more resistance to the chest
Yoga mat – not necessary if you have carpet, but it gives you more cushion
Yoga block – helps you maintain your balance and flexibility
Nutrition-wise, it is a whole new ballgame.  Most people new to working out or P90X will need to do some serious renovation to the cupboard contents and refrigerator.  It’s amazing the junk food we accumulate or are persuaded to try based on tasty looking ads or packaging.  Read the nutrition guide thoroughly and if you get confused, click HERE. Beachbody, the parent company of P90X has also assisted the nutrition aspects of this plan with some VERY tasty protein bars.  And, as you will hear about time and again, the P90X Recovery Drink is another great item to add to your plan.  Containing a unique mix of carbohydrates, protein, creatine and glutamine, it is the perfect combination to enhance your workout and help you grow real muscle to burn the fat.
