Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-14 Summary: Best workout program ever. Period. ... P90X is by fat the best workout program I have ever done in my life. I played football in high school and lifted quite often and bulked up and am no stranger to fitness, but i never got the results that I achieved with P90X. Just follow the program and the nutrition guide (which is actually pretty easy to do) and I guarantee you will be ripped in just 90 days. I have read some other people's reviews on here and some say things like, "Tony has this attitude of "I can do this, why can't you?" and they say its too hard ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-07-12 Summary: From a guy's perspective ... I began this program weighing in at 247 lbs. Per the book, i also measured body fat percentage, which was 35%! Yikes! I have tried a few video oriented programs in the past, even bought/sold a bowflex in the past 5 years. The problem with all of them was repetition. I cannot stand repetition. It kills my motivation to do just about anything. With P90x, there is enough variety that you dont get that effect at all. It also helps that some days, your doing cardio, some days resistance. I'm in the 3rd and final phase currently ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-06-24 Summary: Good, but... ... This is a nice set of resistance bands. I don't know if it's just me but for th second most resistant bands of the lot (purple ones offer more resistance) I was expecting a bit more. They are good, but not enough for me. I'm around 5'11", so you can't say I'm short, and for me it would have been better if it were a little tighter. There is obviously a work around this, by using both handles on one arm at a time and switch to the other after, just increases exercise time. The small exercise guide is nice, but it would ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-06-11 Summary: Great for the shorties. ... I'm only 5'7, so this works great for me, worth every penny and the best deal I've seen. My friend is 6'1 and it's way too small (not long enough) for him, so keep that in mind. Quality is decent, but it won't stand up to 4-hour a day every day use. For the average user it's tough enough. The hooks on the side for holding the weights are useless too. They just get in the way and I never could figure out how you were supposed to get them on the hooks without getting off the bench first, but then what's the point? ...more
