My New P90X Forum

By admin On December 14, 2009 Comments Off

Hey everyone,

I’ve just launched my new P90X forum at http://www.dennishardy.com/forum .   I’m also forwarding the domain http://www.90dayforum.com there as well, so either address will take you to my messageboard.

I’ll be logging in each day to answer your P90X questions.  Be sure to use the “start a new topic” button and put your question there.  That way, the next visitor can easily find answers to their own questions.

I also encourage you to start your own thread on the forum to share your transformation photos.  Your own success can help other people.

Look forward to seeing you on the boards!

Ready To Get Started With P90X? Don’t Miss These Accessories & Supplements

By admin On December 1, 2009 Comments Off

If you want the very lowest price on P90X and other Beachbody supplements, equipment, and merchandise, be sure to  buy p90x right here in the Team Beachbody Store. This is where I, and all of the Team Beachbody Coaches, get our own P90X and Beachbody products from.

In addition to P90X, below I’ve listed other supplements and equipment I use myself and recommend for P90X.  Each of these things can be found in the Team Beachbody Store.  They will be listed under one of the products categories to the left, once you’re inside the store.

P90X Extreme Training System

The first thing you’ll need is the P90X 12 DVD workout program. You’ll get the 12 DVD’s, fitness manual, and P90X nutrition guide. Price: $119.85. 

Shakeology

Shakeology

Oh my goodness!  Shakeology…I cannot say enough about this product!  It’s is the absolute SUPER SUPPLEMENT.   You can learn more about Shakeology here.  

Here’s a quick video…

 

Beachbody Pull Up Bar

Beachbody has a pull up/chin up bar designed especially for the P90X program. It mounts to any standard size interior doorway. It’s really nice and a good deal for the money.  Price: $59.85.

Manduka Plyometrics Mat

I can’t stress enough how important a good yoga mat is. You’ll be using this for yoga, “Ab Ripper X”, and some of the other workouts. A poor mat can leave your tailbone exposed to a hard floor. The “Manduka Mat” that Beachbody carries is great for yoga OR your plyometric workouts. It will exceed your expectations!   Price: $89.95

Dumbbells and/or Resistance Bands

People ask me all of the time, which is better, dumbbells or resistance bands. I tell them both. Each has it’s advantages. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITES are the Bowflex Selecttechs . These dumbbells are interchangeable. You can turn a dial and instantly be lifting a different amount of weight. The Selecttechs are the ones recommended and approved by Beachbody. They are also used in the latest P90X+ workout videos. I absolutely love them!

Resistance bands can be used throughout P90X in place of the dumbbells. In fact, one of Tony’s “kids” (as he calls them…his workout buddies in the P90X workouts) will be demonstrating the exercise using a band. Beachbody carries “B Lines” resistance bands. I use them and like them a lot.  I’ll work in and out of exercises using both dumbbells and bands.

If you want to purchase the Selecttechs, they are not available through Beachbody and must be purchased separately through Bowflex. Price (Resistance Bands Only) : $119.95

Heart Rate Monitor

Beachbody recommends that you use a heart rate monitor to gauge your intensity and progress during workouts. This is a great monitor made by Reebok. Price: $74.85

Yoga blocks

Yoga blocks are recommended by Beachbody to use during Yoga. The blocks offer added support to assist with balance while holding certain poses.   Price: $29.95

Body Fat Tester

A body fat tester will give you an accurate reading on your body fat throughout the program.   Price: $14.95

Tony Horton’s Powerstands

These pushup stands rule the world!  After having 3 surgeries on my wrist for torn ligaments, I can’t do regular pushups without pain. The stands take all of the pressure off of my wrists. These are my favorites… “Tony’s Powerstands” .  Price: $39.95

Beachbody Recovery Formula

I’m yet to find another product on the market comparable to the Beachbody Peak Recovery Formula. We know from extensive scientific research that there is an approximate 60 minute window of opportunity following exercise when muscle cells are primed to repair, rebuild, and adapt from a hard workout. The P90X recovery drink was designed to provide the exact nutrients you’ll need to achieve maximum results from your p90X workout. Proper post workout nutrition is a KEY FACTOR in your success with P90X!

Folks, these workouts are WAY too hard to be skipping here! Ingredients include protein, creatine, L-Glutamine, and L-Argenine. Ladies, don’t worry about the creatine making you “bulky’ either. It’s only about 500 mg…about 10% of a normal serving of creatine. It’s there to enhance performance without adding bulk. Price: $43.95 (1 Month Supply). 

Whey Protein Powder

P90X demands A LOT from your body. You have to fuel it with enough protein.  One of the cleanest and best sources of protein is Whey Protein Powder. Beachbody sells a great tasting chocolate and vanilla flavor. I recommend Vanilla. It goes great with my Summer Strawberry Smoothie!  Price: $39.95 (1 Month Supply). 

Beachbody Peak Performance Protein Bars

The P90X Nutrition Guide calls for performance bars during your first 60 of the 90 days. They are phased out in the last 30 days. The main thing with an energy protein bar is to find something you like. I love the “Mocha” bars that Beachbody has. When I first started P90X, my bars hadn’t come in yet. I went to the grocery store and picked up a few to hold me over. These things tasted like chewing shoe heel! I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the mocha bars. They tasted great and I actually looked forward to them each day. Price :$23.95 (boxes of 12).

Power 90 in Home Bootcamp (P90)

For people who didn’t pass the P90X fit test and need some help getting ready for P90X, I recommend P90. Take a look at my wife’s blog post comparing P90 and P90X. P90 is fat burning and total-body sculpting focused on abs, thighs, and upper body. It now comes with a resistance band. No additional equipment is needed for P90. Price: $59.85.

P90 is available in the Team Beachbody Store in the “Fitness Programs” product category.

I HIGHLY recommend all of these products, without hesitation.  They have helped me dramatically change my life for the better,  and they can for you too!
