I think you are referring to P90X the exercise program...If so, I don't know a lot about the program othern than some co-workers would get together and do it and the few times I watched them exercise...it looked really intense. I don't think I would be ready and I have been walking the treadmill at the gym for an hour at least 3-4 days a week. I have increased my incline and pace and I would still not be ready for P90X.

Yes that's it P90X. It is intense to say the least. I reckon this would something to think about way down the road.

Thank you. :)

My family has owned the regular power 90 series for maybe 5 years? I used it for about six months and my brother and father have used it for a few years now. It's not as hard as the P90X but does have 2 difficulties, and even when I was lighter it gave me a pretty good workout even just at the low level. I would definitely try something like this before starting the P90X, but that's just me. The dvd has gotten tons of use, and I would definitely recommend it. I'm a pretty big fan in general of the beach body videos (Except brazilian booty lift - I didn't enjoy that one as much, but my dvd player only wanted to play it in Spanish..)

Wow to be able to do work outs like the p90x, I would be so proud of myself! As for now, its a work out just to stretch these old muscles. Aye yi yi

P90X IS EXTREMELY INTENSE. I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY THE 10-MINUTE TRAINER FIRST. THE 10-MINUTE TRAINER WAS CREATED BY THE SAME PERSON (TONY HORTON) BUT IT'S A CONDENSED VERSION. START OFF SLOW THEN WORK YOUR WAY UP. I HAVE P90X BUT HAVEN'T DARED TO TRY IT YET. I KNOW I'M NOT PHYSICALLY READY. LOL.

There is a fit text that tells you if you are ready for P90X: http://www.beachbody.com/text/products/programs/p90x/p90xFitTest_Rev010809.pdf

Power 90 is probably a better place to start if you haven't been exercising.

I agree with the above comments. Start with one of the other programs like slim in 6, ten min trainer or power 90. Once you can complete two rounds of one of those programs...give p90x a try. This is my plan. After two rounds of p90x........then its insanity....pray for me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
