P90X is a comprehensive home fitness program that includes 12 DVD workout routines, 3-phase nutritional plan, fitness guide, and your expert trainer, Tony Horton! P90X can get you in the best shape of your life in 90 days. So, why then do people fail to get results and just quit P90X?
Don’t be one of those people! As a Team Beachbody Coach, I get tons of questions from frustrated people who do not see results or can’t get through the P90X program. These tips will help YOU avoid the same pitfalls that so many fall into and learn how to get the most out of P90X.
- Is P90X for you? Take the P90X fit test. If you never exercised before or have a very low activity level, then P90X is NOT for you. If you are not in good physical condition and attempt an extreme program like P90X, you will have a tough time staying motivated because you won’t be able to complete the exercises and you will increase your chance of injury. I get emails from people telling me they can’t even complete one exercise on a P90X DVD routine. If this is you, try another fitness program to get in condition to prepare for P90X. I recommend Power 90 with Tony Horton. Power 90 is a less intensive 90-day workout routine that will bring your fitness level up so you can do P90X.
- What are you eating? In order to get results with P90X you must follow a good nutrition plan. P90X includes the P90X 3-phase Nutrition plan and you should follow it. I get emails from people who are upset because they are not seeing results but yet they are eating fatty foods and other junk. Guess what! If you work out daily with P90X, but continue eating junky, fat foods, you will not see results. You cannot compromise with nutrition.
- Make time and do the P90X workouts 6 days per week. You are responsible for your health and fitness. It’s simple. If you do not do your P90X workouts you will not reach your desired fitness goal. Many people make excuses and just can’t find the time. You find time to sit around and do nothing, play on your computer, watch tv, and other things. Schedule time every day for your exercise. If you continually miss workouts you will not succeed with the P90X fitness program. It’s up to you. Make the commitment and be sure you can stick to it. Think about this: 90 days is going to pass whether you do P90X or do nothing. Hmmmm.
- Be patient. People are so impatient and expect results from P90X in 2 weeks! Let me tell you – your body took a long time to get in its current condition and it’s going to take some hard work and time to get in better condition. P90X is a 90 day fitness program so NO, you won’t be fit in 2 weeks.
- Work through the soreness. For the first week or two of P90X, you will be REALLY sore! Do not give up! You are sore because your body has not done anything for a long time. You may be tempted to skip your next workout because you are sore from P90X. Working out will help move the lactic acid that’s built up in your muscles and make the pain all better. Don’t be a baby. Your body will adapt over time. You can also try the P90X Results and Recovery drink which helps reduce soreness and helps your muscles recover faster from an extreme workout.
- You are frustrated because you can’t do a pullup or a pushup. If you cannot do a single pullup with the pullup bar, then use resistance bands. Start there and build up to a pullup bar. If you cannot do a pushup with straight legs, then start on your knees and build up the strength to do a regular pushup. There is always a modifier on the P90X fitness DVD routines to show you modified version of an exercise. Don’t let your ego get in the way.
- Purchase a legal version of P90X. When you purchase illegal, pirated versions of P90X, you usually will end up missing DVDs, DVDs that don’t work right, missing nutrition guide, missing fitness guide. Buy the P90X real deal – don’t miss a thing!
- Do track your progress. Log into Team Beachbody (it’s FREE) and post your before picture. Log your workouts and workout with buddies in the online SuperGym to stay more accountable. You can even win money just for working out. Team Beachbody is a vital fitness resource and its there for you!
Does P90X work? You bet! I know this firsthand because I did 2 rounds and got in the best shape of my life after round 1! I was so hooked that I did it again.
There is no trick to P90X – P90X builds muscle and burns fat. You decide if you will be in the best of shape of your life after 90 days pass or not. Commit, Succeed.

The number one common excuse people use to avoid getting fit is, “I’m too busy to work out.” Does this sound like you? If you have just ten minutes a day, you can super-stack your fitness routine into your busy schedule. Ten Minute Trainer by Tony Horton is fun, effective, and takes just ten minutes! You’ll get results fast. Tanya lost 6 pants sizes. If she can do it so can you.
Busted! According to a survey by the American Council of Exercise, “not enough time” is the biggest excuse for not working out due to our busy lives with family and work. Let me introduce you to Ten Minute Trainer by Tony Horton. Ten Minute Trainer is for people like you who just don’t have time to workout.
Ten Minute Trainer by Beachbody uses a technique called “super-stacking” to condense the elements of an hour long workout into an intense efficient series of exercises that use a series of movements happening all at the same time. It’s like multitasking for your muscles. You don’t even need to waste time driving to and from the gym, and dealing with parking. You can do Ten Minute Trainer in the convenience of your home, any time you want. You can also take 10 Minute Trainer along on the road – a real plus!
10 Minute Trainer also shows you how to get healthy food fast from the Ten Minute Meal Recipe guide. It is full of healthy, fast meals. Combine this healthy eating with the 10 Minute Trainer workouts, and you will get results fast!
Take Tanya for example: A busy mom of two – her day starts early in the morning and keeps going until late at night. She believed there was nothing she could do about her belly fat. But after Ten Minute Trainer, Tanya lost 24 pounds and 25 inches. She also lost 6 pants sizes. She is so much happier now and feels good about herself! She is walking proof that this fitness program works.
Ten Minute Trainer is fun, fast, and effective. Check out the video below.

What’s your excuse?
If you have a large belly, then you have a spare tire around your middle. If you are already working out, you are well on your way to losing it. Great! That fat around your middle can cause lots of problems if you do not reduce it. According to the Mayo Clinic, your belly fat surrounds your abdominal organs and can cause you serious internal health like:
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Stroke
- Sleep apnea
If you are concerned, just get a tape measure and measure your waist. For men, if your waist measure 40 inches or more, you are carrying too much belly fat. For women, 35 inches or more is too much! Reducing your waistline takes work but it can be fun too!
Just 30 minutes a day of high intensity aerobic exercise will help you lose that belly fat. If you are just starting out, Slim in 6 or Hip Hop Abs are great choices. If you want a more intense workout, try Power 90 or P90X!
But exercise alone won’t be enough. You also need a healthy diet of whole grains, lean protein, fruits, and veggies to help you lose those extra inches. Don’t forget to limit your alcohol intake!
Did you know that by replacing just one meal per day with a Shakeology drink can get you on the road to your weight loss quicker? This is another great way to keep those pounds coming off even when you don’t have time to exercise everyday!

You have seen the P90X infomercials, or maybe your friend told you about it and you are ready to get going! But wait. Ask yourself: is P90X really for you? Why not find out before you plunk down $120 plus tax and shipping? Don’t worry, if you are not quite ready for P90X, I will give you some tips on how to prepare.
P90X is an extreme fitness program (that is what the X stands for). You need to be honest about your fitness level and ability before starting P90X. If you are not ready to start P90X, but do it anyway, a number of things can happen including getting hurt or losing interest because the exercises or intensity level are out of reach for you. P90X will kick your butt so play it safe and make sure you are up for the challenge.
Beachbody provides guidelines in the form of a Fit Test to determine if P90X is for you. If you can perform the Beachbody P90X Fit Test, go forth and get crushed! If you cannot perform the minimum requirements, you can do another Beachbody program to get yourself to the required fitness level.
Let’s get to the Fit Test and then I will tell you about some of the other great programs that will also give you great results and prepare you for P90X.
The P90X Fit Test takes 40 minutes or so to complete. Click here to download the Fit Test. The instructions are included with the Fit Test. Here are some things you will need before starting:
- Heart rate monitor
- Tape measure
- Partner to help record data (optional)
- Pull-up bar
- Timer (stopwatch or watch with second hand)
- Running shoes
- Towel
- Water
- Your “Bring It” game face
If you can perform the Fit Test, well, come back in 90 days and show off your P90X results!
If you cannot perform the P90X Fit Test, take a look at Power 90® or Slim in 6®.
Power 90 is another awesome Tony Horton 90-day fitness program that will give you great results! Slim in 6 is a Debbie Siebers 6-week program that is more basic than Power 90.
When you finish either of these programs, take the P90X Fit Test again. I am confident that you will be well prepared and ready to Bring it! See you in 90 days!

When I started P90X, tony Horton’s 90-day fitness program, my goal was to get lean, toned arms and tight abs. In addition to reaching my goal and getting great P90X results, I also ended up getting some unexpected results, which are a testimonial to the Beachbody mission of changing lives.
I had stopped going to the gym a couple of years ago. Why? No parking, too crowded inside at all hours, and smelled like a bucket of sweat.
Instead, I opted for outdoor activities like beach walking, trail running, and hiking. My attempts to continue upper body exercises at home were not working because I was too deep inside my comfort zone.
P90X fixed all that! I coupled P90X with my outdoor activities and in 90 days, I had my toned, lean arms and tight abs (and a great looking back!) Here’s the good part. People noticed. I took to wearing sleeveless or short sleeve shirts and people noticed how toned my arms were, the improvement in my posture, and the glow I wore on my face.
This great feeling from my P90X results is contagious – that is the unexpected result! Friends wanted to know what I was doing because they also wanted great looking arms, abs, and to feel better about themselves. I was able to inspire others to climb out of their own comfort zone and do something fit and healthy for themselves. I now have friends doing Slim in 6, Power 90, and Hip Hop Abs. They love the way they feel and the new energy that is part of their lives.
As I shared my story and daily musings on social networking sites, I received messages from people that I really do not know, who have thanked me for motivating them to achieve their own fitness goals.
That, my friends, is the ultimate P90X result. When you are a product of the product, you can help change the lives of others in some great or small way for the better. When you are healthy and fit, you can be happier and feel better about yourself.
