Will P90X work for fat or obese people? This question is one that I receives all the time and to give the an answer with a caveat is what I will do.  Yes, P90X will work for you if your are fat or obese but one thing I would suggest is that you give your doctor a visit and get the green light before you decide to go all in with P90X.  If your doctor gives you the OK, then let’s go for it.  The P90X exercise program will provide you with everything you need to get started. (You will need free weights and/or resistance bands and a pull up bar)  You will know what to eat, what exercises to do and how to do them.  During your P90X work outs you will also be shown modified moves and if your are extremely overweight you will be using these modified moves so get used to them.  Do what you can and you will see improvements every day.

As you can see from the video above Jeremy lost a whopping 161 pounds while doing P90x and it took him about 10 months or so.  He started at 370 pounds and dropped down to 209 pounds.  Very impressive.

If you are fat or overweight and wondering if P90X is going to work for you then the answer is yes.  It will most likely be the hardest thing you have ever done but the rewards for your body and over all health are well worth it.

You will not be able to keep up with the people in the DVD”s but don’t let that discourage you. Every time you do you work outs you are making progress.  Just do what you can and take breaks and before you know it you will be pumping out P90X just like they do in the DVD’s.

If you want to break the ice first and start with something to get you warmed up then you can use Tony Horton’s Free Pay It Forward Work Out to get your body moving.

You can also start with Shakeology which is an awesome healthy meal replacement and when you order it on home direct you will also get 2 free work outs with it in your first shipment and a free shaker cup in your 2nd shipment. Shakeology is a very nutritious shake and will definitely help with your weight loss goals as well give you great nutrition for life.

Great job Jeremy.  You are an inspiration to others.

Here are Jeremy’s stats:

Just search for “P90X results” and you will see what P90X has done for so many.

I often get this question when people first start out with P90X, “I have been doing P90X for 3 weeks now and the scale is not moving, what gives?”  First thing I ask is, “Did you take your measurements?”.  Most of the time the answer is no.  Most people are so excited to get started that they fail to do one of the most important steps before starting your fitness transformation, taking those measurements.  You also need to take a before picture but that will be in tomorrows post. Why do you need to take your measurements? You need to take your measurements so you get really see how your are progressing.  Sometimes the scale won’t cooperate but if you look at your measurements you will find that you are losing inches. This is a good thing.  I am sure you notice your clothes fitting differently but you just quite figure out what is going on. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat so you might not notice the scale moving right away but if you go and look back at your measurements you can see where it’s coming off. Team Beachbody make this easy.  If you haven’t already, go and get your free Beachbody account. Once you do just log in at TeamBeachbody.com and and click on the little arrow next to edit profile on the left. The just select progress and goals and you will be able to enter your start date, weight, waist size, hip size, chest size, arm size, thigh size, body fat%, hdl and ldl  cholesterol and your blood pressure. There is also a fitness test there that you can take every 30 days as well to track your progress.  This is great because it keeps everything in one place for you and you can updates your info whenever you like.  You can also add your before picture, personal pictures and much more.

So if you are doing P90X, Insanity, RevAbs, Turbo Jam or any other Beachbody workout, be sure to start out by taking your measurements and  taking some before pictures.

ESPN Reporter Jenn Brown

Well it looks like we have another celebrity to mention when we talk about P90X results in women.  It is none other than Jenn Brown, an ESPN reporter who has recently commented about doing P90X on twitter.  Jenn Brown is a former bikini model and gymnast and is no stranger to working out hard.  She was also a softball all-star, a junior Olympic diver and a track and field “super star”. With all of these sports under her belt it is no surprise that she chose the P90X 90 day work out to keep her body in tip top shape.

Jenn Brown is also one pretty smart cookie.  Jenn achieved a full academic scholarship at the University of Florida, her home state, and walked on to the to Florida’s division 1 softball team.  She also graduated summa cum laude.

Jenn was on twitter after one of her P90X work outs and said “Just finished P90X cardio and Ab Ripper X…Wow that is an intense workout!!”

So you are wondering what kind of results women have with the P90X workout?  If you will have good results? Can you even do P90X?  I can’t even do one pull up so will I have good results with P90X ? Do women do P90X?  Well I can answer all of those questions for you.  If you are a woman looking to do P90X, then the answer is yes, you will love your results.  P90X is hard but once you do it you will love your body. You will be burning fat and toning muscle in all the right places.  Don’t worry about those pull ups and push ups you will be gaining strength very quickly.  Even if you can only do 5 push ups and zero pull ups that’s OK, by the end of you 90 days you will be doing more. Yes, women do have awesome results with P90X.
