[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 5300540, member: 20005"] I'm 60 days in to Power 90 and I'm strongly considering stepping up to P90X when I'm done. From what I've done so far, I would encourage this program to people that haven't done a program before. I had never really worked out. I wasn't really fat (though marriage was starting to build my spare tire), but I never had done any kind of dedicated exercise program. The original Power 90 is good as an introduction. From what I've seen of P90X, there can be a lot of modification during the early going if you aren't ready for that level. To me, I knew that would frustrate me. Power 90 has a more accessible level. The other upside is that if you're intimidated by equipment costs, Power 90 comes with exercise bands and doesn't require a pull up bar. I will say that I started seeing more improvement when I moved from the bands to the weights though. I think the consistent resistance of the weights has helped my strength training. The daily length is also a little shorter. Each workout is under an hour instead of an hour and a half. For results, I've lost 12 pounds since beginning and moved to a generally healthier diet. I didn't take exhaustive measurements beforehand and wish I did. The program recommends it so do it. I do know that I have lost 3 inches from my waist. I just wanted to share my experience for those of you who were looking into P90X. I'm looking forward to the added challenge in another month. [/QUOTE]
