P90X--Any thoughts?

[pammy10s]

I am about to start the P90X fitness program, which claims it can transform your body. It looks pretty intense, which is what I'm looking for. Anybody out there tried it? Any thoughts?

This is a great program. You will lose a lot of body fat and weight and build muscle.

My thoughts include:

--CrossFit on video?
--I sweat so hard and move around so much while working out that I wouldn't be able to see the T.V. screen.
--Seems like it takes plenty of specialized equipment.
--I hope this doesn't sound too negative because a lady I work with and her fiancée have been hitting it pretty hard leading up to their wedding and it has worked for them both.

My 2 cents

i did it with a friend of mine and it is pretty intense. Very little time to rest ni between sets or exercises. And it does not involve a lot of specialized equipment. All you need are some dumbells and a pull up bar. Wait until you do the plyometrics video!!! Almost makes you throw up everytime. I recommended if you wanna lose body fat! it got me stronger and more fit as well. i finished it about a month ago and now im trying the crossfit thing out. And no its not crossfit on video cuz in p90x you dont do any olympic lifting at all. like i said no special equipment just dumbells and pullup bar!!
