Well Christmas is coming around, and Santa is a sucker for giving me things  So I'm wondering if I should get this. I love new ways to work out and train, and it seems to not only make training funner, but not as repetitive. If you don't know what it is, its pretty much a set of DVD's teaching you different workouts, but it claims to introduce "Fun" "New" routines to keep your muscles on the edge. And it teaches Yoga.  But I don't know if its as good as it claims to be. So does anyone out there actually like it? Or is it pretty much the same worth as coal? |

You won't build any serious strength with the program and its cardio/endurance things from what I've seen so far are... well, they could be better and more relevant. Let's face it: dancing around and doing ridiculous movements isn't what you need if you want to run faster and whatnot. What's more is that you can easily find all the "information" the program offers AND MORE online and in books, for free. I'm willing to bet that some of the information in the program is actually WRONG! For instance, with Chuck Norris' Total Body Gym, one of their pitches is that since you're using your own bodyweight, it stretches you while you exercise, giving you more energy and making workouts more fun. That doesn't make ANY sense. Like, at all. None. Honestly, the P90X program seems like nothing more than the current workout trend to me and, therefore, I say you should not get it. I hope I helped with my nit-picking.  |

I don't know. A lot of my friends do it and they said it kicks their buts. Some of the hardest workouts they've ever done.

Intense aerobics is like that. Like I said above, though, that won't build significant strength.

Maybe they arn't going for strength? I honestly don't really know what it is so i can't comment. I just know a ton of people who do it and love it. So take that for what it's worth. I was thinking about looking into it but I'm not sure.

Part of the advertisement is to build muscle and strength, I'm pretty sure. That won't really happen with this.
People's opinions aren't worth much seeing as a large chunk of the population is easily fooled and scammed into buying stuff they don't need. Hawaii chairs come to my mind, along with any stretching equipment and that iron gym thing.
There's no reason to buy a cookie cutter program when you could easily make one that would give better and more relevant results.

I'm sure they are. I bet if you put those on a merry-go-round, you get those rides at the carnivals where you get thrown around while you spin. You know, the octopus/spider things.

Well obviously P9OX won't help if you're training for Sasuke, but there's nothing wrong with trying it.

I agree with that, but if you want to train for Sasuke (which I assume JP does), I think you should just do relevant workouts to begin with.
It's like that guy Myst, if you remember him. He insisted on getting "in shape" before beginning his training. I don't see a reason for that. Working out is working out.

Even if the structure is a lie? There's no such thing as "muscle confusion".

If you're talking about JUST the DVDs then maybe you can try getting a... torrent (but you didn't hear that from me... not even in text in this sentence).
The discs are...
chest and back
plyometrics
shoulders and arms
yoga x
legs and back
kenpo x
x stretch
core synergistics
chest and shoulders
back and biceps
cardio x
ab ripper x
There's about an hour of follow along workouts on each one.
(But of course... you didn't hear any of this from me.)
For what it costs, I'm sure you can just form your own workout routine from readily available resources all over the great internetz.

It's good, if you actually do it every day and push yourself you'll get results. I'ts got a some serious workouts. There are some torrents of it out there BTW. Just make sure if you download a torrent that you download the guides too, because you need to know which videos to do on which day. |
