PULL UP BAR FOR P90X PROGRAM

Pull Up Bar– You will be using this in 3 of the P90X DVDs – Very important to have or you can use resistance bands with door attachment. If you are like me and are unable to do Pull ups than the resistance bands are a must have. 

RESISTANCE BANDS OR DUMBBELLS FOR P90X PROGRAM

Resistance bands or dumbbells – If you have one or the other than you should be okay. If you can't afford a nice set of weights that will give you enough resistance than the resistance bands would be best. If you are able to get a nice set of dumbbells I recommend the Bowflex Selecttech 552 Dumbbells. These are very compact so if you have limited space these dumbbells are perfect.

HEART RATE MONITOR FOR P90X

Heart Rate Monitor- It is important to keep track of your heart rate while doing P90x. You should wear one to make sure you are not pushing yourself to hard and to also make sure you are pushing your self enough to have the best results. 

RECOVERY DRINK RECOMMENDED FOR AFTER P90X

Recovery Drink – Great tasting drink for after your workout. Full of nutrients to repair your muscles. I recommend Advocares Post-Recovery Drink or if you would like P90X has their own recovery Shake. 

PUSH UP BAR OPTIONAL FOR P90X

Push Up Bar– Helps take the stress off of your wrists when doing push ups. I have not tried this but my wrists have been bothering me doing some of the exercises. If you have or buy a pull up bar it can be used for both a push up and pull up bar.

YOGA MAT OPTIONAL ITEM FOR P90X

Yoga Mat – I strongly recommend mat. I use it to protect my knees and it also helps your joints when jumping around. 

YOGA BLOCKS ARE OPTIONAL ITEM FOR P90X

Yoga Blocks – Helps with balance moves or additional stretching when doing P90X Yoga.

P90X Results Before and After Pics Mom of 4

I am a stay at home mom of 4 children six and under. There is not a lot of extra time to go to the gym and work out. So I decided to work out at home. 

I had my fourth child in April of 2009. Two months after I decided to do the p90x lean program. I started doing it everyday, but having four kids at home I limited it to 3 times a week. So while it took me longer than 90 days I still saw results. In the beginning I could do absolutely no push ups.

When I started P90X I could not make it through the whole video doing everything properly.  I could not do and still have a hard time doing the Ab Ripper, but I try to be careful since my abs are ripped from having children. Since starting p90x I have lost 15 pounds. I have gone down 3 or 4 pant sizes. I am definitely stronger and leaner. I can actually do push ups now.  I am still not where I want to be, but that is why I keep pushing play. If you are wondering if p90x is right for you or if it to hard, I would have to say that the p90x is as hard as you make it. You can go at your own pace and work your way up. Push yourself a little harder each work out. I would definitely recommend p90x to anyone wanting to lose weight and get in the best shape of their life.
