- P90X Workout works for those of us over 40 Review by Lozada
- I am 49 years old and I retired from the military 24 years ago. My fitness level has consistently been good, but found that I had lost some of my fitness edge. I purchased P90X workout and followed the workout routines faithfully, but did not follow the nutrition plan. However, I ate sensibly and increased my daily protein intake. About half way into the program, the edge was coming back. I gained muscle and definition. People at the gym were asking what workout plan I was using and people at work made comments like, "you're looking great, what are you doing?". By the time I finished the program, I was in the best shape I've been in since I was in the military. I found the weight lifting sessions very interesting and effective. However, as a runner and a person in pretty good aerobic shape, the sessions designed for cardio did not challenge me. Also, I found the yoga session to be too long and sort of boring. There is no magic in this program, but it does provide structure and it does work,,even for those of us nearing 60.. The results have been great! It's been a couple of months since I finished the program, and now I'm going to do it again. I think anyone willing to put in the time and follow the program will see good results. (Posted on 1/5/12)

- P90x workout is timeconsuming. Review by Zach
- Its time-consuming. The videos are at minimum an hour, the yoga is a full 90 mins, though I have to say I love the yoga video. The P90X+ and 1 on 1 videos are a bit shorter, but can still take an hour with start-up and cool-down time. I have a wife and young child, and without the leeway I get to be a bit late in the morning to work I don't know how I'd be able to fit this program in to my schedule. Another pro and con is that its hard. Really hard. Some moves still can require modification even after 90 days, and the pace can make you light-headed. This is a good thing in my opinion, but for people with less will-power or drive, the difficulty can be a deal breaker I think, which is why I see some other people I know only last a week or two before they give up. Another con is the cardio. The Kenpo is boring to me and the kenpo and cardio barely make me break a sweat. Now I started P90X after I had trained a few months for a local 8k, so I was in pretty good condition, at least in terms of endurance. This may be the reason, but I've heard others make the same complaints. I switched those two programs for other various cardio instead, like running, interval running, or cycling. I try to keep a pace to wear me out within 20-25 mins. I also wish the core workout added more difficulty, its also a little boring. (Posted on 1/5/12)

- P90X WORKOUT Review by LEE Soccer
-
The strength workouts are great. The ab workout is outstanding, however you will eventually want to add some variation with some of Tony Horton's other ab workouts (like 1 on 1). For people who are not in good shape, or who have only been doing cardio (which was my case) the workouts can be difficult to get through for a few weeks, and some moves will require modification for some time. I added 2 weeks to the beginning of the program, because that is how long it took me to start to be able to make it through the entire workout video. After 2 rounds I still have to modify the pull-ups by the end of the workout.
Tony makes it fun. If I had the money and lived in Cal, he'd be my personal trainer, without a doubt. I had already lost most of my excess weight before starting the program (45lbs) but P90X helped me add some muscle and get that lean-tone 'beachbody' look.
There are some complaints that this workout is nothing new, and nothing bodybuilders haven't been doing already. I can't disagree, as workout variation was something we did 15 years ago in high-school sport programs, however it is the first time I've seen a full at-home video workout program I can do with going to the gym. And having Tony push things along forces you to really move. I don't get as good a workout when I have to go to the gym without Tony moving things along as his quick pace with little down-time.

- P90x program is outstanding Review by wezzie
- Started P90X workout 2 weeks ago and already see and feel the results. I have done many work out routines before and this is like no other. It totally kicks your butt. I find myself both swearing and praising Tony. Every day a different part of my body hurts,but kinda in a good way. My husband was in the Navy and fought in Desert Storm, he correlates the program to basic training. As a matter of fact, he said P90X is worse. Can’t wait ’till day 90, Bring it!
