 GREAT value September 1, 2010

As with any exercise product (especially those shown in informercials late at night when you're gorging on Doritos and thinking it would be nice to have a six-pack....... abs or beer...), it's completely worthless unless you choose to change your lifestyle and commit to the program. But if you're willing to take it seriously, you can't beat P90X.
Not only does the program come complete with specific nutrition information, a variety of workouts and an interactive website, but Tony Horton is always saying "Do your best and forget the rest" and reassuring you that even if you can't do the current workout now, you'll be able to do it in a few weeks if you stick with it. And he's right. Strength and endurance grows very quickly and if you follow the diet plan, you'll see results quickly.
I pause to mention that I started P90X over a summer where I could eat for free at work and so did NOT, in fact, follow the diet guide. Consequently, I didn't see the results that many people post online. HOWEVER, as a test, it was a success. Why? Because even though I wasn't as streamlined as I could/should have been, I've seen HUGE leaps in my strength and endurance and definite change in my physique. So using the diet guide correctly, you should see amazing results.
The workouts are TOUGH and some are LONG (an hour and a half of Yoga), especially if you're relatively new to working out. Most likely, you won't be able to hang with some of them all the way through even after two months - but this is a great motivator, as long as you don't let it get you down! There are two camps about Tony Horton's training style - you either love how corny he is or he gets annoying quickly. Either way, his motivation far outweighs whatever you may think of his style and the handy time bar and visual prompts for each exercise make it easy to follow what's going on should you wish to use your own music mix and turn down the video volume.
Another great motivator, by the way, is the included DVD "How To Bring It" where Tony shows you a short version of how the whole system works and gets you excited about doing the program. On days when I truly did NOT want to exercise, I'd force myself to watch this DVD and a bunch of the P90X Results videos posted on YouTube for inspiration. It never failed.
I HIGHLY suggest purchasing an array of weighted exercise bands at the same time you purchase P90X. They're mandatory unless you already own or plan to buy both a pull-up bar and a full set of dumbells. You won't be able to do the program unless you have these.
The website is great for not only planning and recording your workouts (which is a great motivator) but for connecting with other people using the program and getting answers to questions you may have. There is an additional fee to use some of the online things, but you can set up a profile and do many helpful things for free.
I never thought I'd work out at home and I certainly never thought I'd use an exercise video. But if you commit to pressing play every day, you quickly find that the workouts are so engaging (and sometimes so difficult) that your brain goes on autopilot and you put all your energy into the workout instead of wandering around a gym waiting for a bench to open up or trying to remember what comes next in your routine. Well worth it.

 DVD's unplayable or skip - Seller unresponsive September 1, 2010

I wanted these DVD's for a long time and finally the price was right. Free shipping and speedy delivery was a bonus. The problem was with the quality of the disks. Everyone of them are scratched from the way they are packaged I suspect. They come in a wallet. The sleeves are made of some type of construction paper.
Once I made the commitment to start the program I discovered the effects of the scratches... skips and freezing. I am still on phase one, 6 disks and 2 of them are faulty. I have attempted to contact this seller Five Times without a response. The P90X program, price and speed of delivery gets a 5, the sellers customer service, response to your issues and quality of merchandise gets a zero.
Purchase from this seller at your own risk. If you're lucky enough to get disks that play, you'll be very happy with your purchase and savings.
Note: Don't even try to read the user guide, you'll drive yourself nuts with all the typo's. I'm not just talking about a few... there are hundreds.

Let me preface my review by saying that I've never stepped foot in a gym or lifted a weight in my life before I started using Beachbody products. I am 5'10" and was 225 lbs and had zero definition when I started (obese bmi...). I read the reviews here and started with Power 90 on Jan 3rd, 2010. All you need for that one is dumbbells or bands. I lost 40 pounds. Power 90 is pretty short and includes stretching and cool down, which was very appealing to me. It was basically two workouts you alternate for the first 45 days, and two more slightly more intense ones for the last 45 days. I also think Tony Horton is good at motivating.
Power 90 was a great prep for p90x, after 90 days of power 90 I was able to get into p90x. Granted I couldn't do many pull ups when I started p90x but I can now that I've done it a while. Goals. Download and fill out the sheets in p90x. Track your progress.
For p90x, I needed a pull up bar (or bands), and I got a yoga block (highly recommended!) and pad too (and have since gotten some mats for plyo), I lost 20 pounds. Much more intense than Power 90, longer and more varied. I was only able to do 1 pull up when I started, I was able to do 10 by the end of the first round and can do 12 or so now. Yoga is the longest at 90 minutes, if I don't have 90 minutes I only do the first half, it is split between 45 minutes of Ashtunga Yoga - Sun Salutations and Vinyasas - and 45 minutes of poses. I do the stretch about half of the time, the other half I take the "rest" option, heh. I usually do abs for 20 minutes (see below) during my lunch hour at work. Just do your best and forget the rest :p
I'm currently on second round and have lost another 10 pounds. I read about combining the Ab Ripper 200 from Power 90 with 20 reps each (instead of the usual 25) of Ab Ripper X, so I tried that and like it and do it instead of Ab Ripper X. I also heard a lot people combine two of the cardio routines from Beachbody's Insanity program with three days of p90x resistance (plus Yoga and Stretch) to mix it up a bit. I really like the yoga, I try and do the 10 minutes of Yoga on the Cardio X routine every mourning (I haven't done doubles, which supplements another cardio routine into the mix, increasing the frequency according to the diet plan).
I followed the diet plan for both Power 90 (calorie deficit) and for p90x. I prefer the portion plan and have never used any of the recipes in the nutrition guides, although I may check out the salad dressings. The only Beachbody supplement I take is the recovery drink.
Bottom line, I was fat and now I'm not. I've lost 70 pounds and am 15% body fat, working towards single digits. I am great shape and feel great, all thanks to Beachbody. It works. If you aren't already fit enough to get through Power 90, than I recommend starting there instead of getting right into p90x, Power 90 doesn't cost as much plus you don't need to purchase a pull up bar or yoga block. I would recommend a set of the adjustable dumbbells that you can continue to use them in p90x. If you like Power 90 and/or max it out (or are already fit) you can "upgrade" from Power 90 to p90x, adding a pull up bar and a yoga block/pad to go along with the dumbbells.
This will get you in shape August 29, 2010

These workouts are tough, and they will get you in shape. Some of the moves on the yoga DVD are advanced and should not be done by beginners. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment, but you really have to be dedicated. Tony is entertaining to watch.
