As an Independent Beachbody Coach , I frequently get asked questions regarding our very popular P90X program, how it works, and how to get the best results. Before starting my P90X journey, I didn't have a clue as to what to expect and what I needed to get started which is why I created this lens. I hope to give some tips and suggestions for people who either haven't started the P90X program or those that have started and want to maximize their results.
I should make a quick note that before you start any fitness program, please consult with your physician or a health professional. Also, I personally do not recommend P90X, for people who are just starting a fitness regime because it is extreme and quite challenging. If you want to get started with a program like P90X, check out Tony Horton's Power90 program before upgrading to P90X!
Here are the top 10 tips I recommend for maximizing your results with P90X! If you haven't ordered your P90X program today, risk free for 30 days, do so now!
1. Pre "X" Yourself!
After receiving your extreme home fitness program, P90X because to watch the Introductory DVD that is included with the other 12 workout DVD's. This is crucial to understand what is expected of you and what things you will need to do during the duration of 90 days. It is really easy to jump right into these workouts but just like anything else. We want to get started so that we can hurry up and get results right? Well, I highly recommend you take 10 minutes to watch this short informational video to start out on the right foot!
I also recommend that you take out your fitness guide and the nutrition plan and get familiar with the programs and the DVD's. Knowing what you are supposed to eat and where to get started will help you maximize your investment into this program. P90X is quite different than your traditional workout so please don't start your program without reviewing the information provided to you! As an Independent Beachbody Coach, I want you to succeed! Another important MUST is that you first put yourself through the FIT test to ensure that you are physically ready to handle the moves in this workout.
2. Knowledge Is Power!
Take your body measurements as well as you're before and after pictures before starting the P90X program. The introductory DVD that you watch before you get started will tell you how to do this and what measurements you should take. This should serve as not only your measure of success once you have completed the 90 days but it should also serve as great motivation for you to continue to "push play!" Personally, I have my before pictures on my refrigerator and on my computer to help keep me motivated. Like other P90x'ers, be sure to repeat this at the end of 30, 60, and 90 days to showcase your results. Upload them to the Beachbody community and flaunt your success! You deserve it!
3. Decide Which Program Is Right for You!
Choose a P90X workout plan that fits your goals, needs, and time limitations. P90X has 3 different variations to the program including the Classic, Doubles, and Lean versions. If you are looking to build more muscle mass then the Classic version is for you but if you want to build lean muscle mass (more cardio, lighter on the weights) select the Lean version. The doubles program is for individuals who want extra cardiovascular workouts either for weight loss or an increase in performance. Basically you add in a few extra Cardio X workouts to your program each week building up to 4 extra cardio sessions on top of the already tough workouts built into P90X. Selecting the right workout plan will help you get the results you are looking for.
4. Find A P90X Workout Buddy!
I started P90X with the intentions of doing the program myself but by the 2nd week I was looking for someone to do this program with. Not that I do not have the willpower to continue on my own but I knew that I needed someone to help push me to my limits and make it more fun! If you like to work out with other people and inspire them to do their best, then I suggest you find a friend, or two, or ten, to do the P90x workouts with each day. Working out 6 days a week for an hour does take commitment and you will find yourself struggling to get them in but the accountability that you have with a group will make it much easier than doing it alone!5. Use the P90X Supplements!
In order to maximize your results with P90X, I highly recommend also purchasing the P90X supplements including the P90x workout recovery drink, P90X protein bars, and then P90X Peak Health formula vitamins. Your body will definitely be thanking you for providing the proper nutrition it needs in order to complete each of these grueling workouts. Taking in enough calories is very important as you will be burning hundreds of them off while working out. Do not skip out on using these supplements as they are designed specifically for P90X to fuel your body and help it recover after hard workouts.
6. Follow the Nutrition Guide Provided!
There are three plans that coincide with each phase of the program to help your body get what it needs to succeed and maximize your results. The nutritional portion of this program is a lot easier than plans found with other workout plans as you have more options. You can choose the approach to eating that works best for your lifestyle-Portions, Meals Plans (recipes provided), and the Quick Approach.
I like the flexibility to choose from a list of foods so I selected the portion program to fit in with my workout schedule. That is the beauty of this program; you have so many options and can modify it to fit your needs, unlike others that I have tried!
7. Learn From Other P90X'ers!

I highly recommend that you schedule your P90X workouts just like you would with any other appointment on your calendar. If you do that you will be less likely to skip it just like a meeting with your boss, a co-worker, or a friend. If you have it written down, in your computer's calendar, or scheduled in your BeachBody's online calendar you will stay motivated each day to "X" it off your calendar. One of the most important things for success is to hold yourself accountable and this is one of the simple ways that you can do that.
9. Purchase the Equipment Necessary!
Purchase the Equipment-Beachbody and Tony Horton has developed quality pieces of equipment to help maximize your workouts. My favorites are the Plyometrics Mat, the Pull-Up Bar, and the Resistance Bands. You may already have weights but if not you can find them just about anywhere. I recommend getting a few different weights so that you have choices on which ones to use during the different workouts. Also invest into a good pair of quality shoes as you will be doing a lot of high impact moves so good shoes will help reduce your risk of injury. What is nice about this program is that you don't need a lot of fancy equipment to complete the programs. Yes, you will need a few items and a place designated for the P90x workouts but you don't need to spend a lot to get the results you are looking for. Expensive gym memberships or home gyms are not a requirement to complete the 90 day training program.
10. Become A Beachbody Coach
Become a Beachbody Coach-After completing my first 30 days of P90X and a few of the other workout DVD's I knew that this company was something I definitely wanted to be a part of. Becoming a member of the online community and sharing your success will definitely inspire change and provide encouragement among others. Becoming a coach and an advocate for change will help you become not only physically fit but also financially fit.
No, you do not have to wait until you finish your program or fit some weight loss criteria to become a coach. I became an Independent Beachbody Coach after only 2 months into my fitness program, P90X because of my astounding results. You can build a successful home business while you reach your fitness goals. I found that starting my own business as a Beachbody Coach provided me with even more motivation and drive to reach my own personal goals. After all, who is going to believe me and in the programs if I am not doing it myself and seeing results? Don't wait to start your own business with Beachbody because this is an opportunity of a lifetime! Find the desire, commit, and you will succeed.
