Phase 3 is the Endurance Maximizer where you’ll be eating proteins, small amounts of fat and more carbohydrates in order for you to make your way through your final leg of this 90-day training journey.

I just purchased the P90X program and cannot wait to get started!! My husband and I saw it advertised on TV the other night and were both sitting there with our jaws on the floor. He's a prior US Marine who's 6'0"/185 lbs looking to bulk up, and I'm a 5'5"/198 lbs looking to loose the extra flab and fat that having 2 children brings. This is definitely something that will work for us both. Since we have the kids we need something we can do in the house. I have to say all the stories on the website are so inspiring. This is a LONG time coming!!! :) Wish us luck!! Good luck to everyone!!!
HI i must say that this program is very good i try to buy the de but you were out of stock.
can u tell me if i can order the set and get it in grand cayman iland ,i realy want to look good and fel good thanks
Bought the p90x on craigslist for 75 bucks. After my Guieness beer & candy bash I plan on starting it on Sunday. I am 48 & 30 lbs over weight. If I can do it anyone can. To the person in Egypt, you can get the DVDs on Ebay as well, there were some good deals there.
So can anyone type the diet plan! That would
be awsome
I bought the p90x on tuesday and I cant wait for it to arrive. I have worked out in gym for years. I need to lose 15-20 lbs and tone up. My eating is okay but eat when Im bored . Im hoping that this can get me back on track to my old body that I had a few yrs ago.
Does anyone have any advise about the program?
I will be starting P90X here shortly. I guess you can say, I took the easy way out and just copied one of my friends DVD's. Money is really tight for me...But unfortunately, I do not have any info on the diet palns etc. Can anyone help me out. I am in serious need to start this program, health reasons being the number one reason. Based on all the reviews on this program, I rally want to give this my all which means I need the diet plan as well. If anyone can help me out, it will be greatly appreciated.
This is my second week doing the program and I love it! I tried Power 90 before and it was great but nothing compares to P90X. The nutritional plan is so easy to follow even if you don't have time to cook. Do not waist your money if you are not ready to commit.
Heck, I'm only on day 2, but I tell you what. I am feeling muscles that I have never felt before!! :-P I love the videos. I'm not following a diet plan (I'm 145lbs and already semi athletic and toned, I'm just using it to help me quit smoking. The Plyometrics routine... and smoking, no bueno ;-)
Good luck to everyone that tries this diet/workout. I'm lovin it!

i just had a baby 6 months ago so i was looking to get fit again. i have been nursing since birth and walking an hour a day since nov 08 (6 weeks postpartum). but i was only losing about a pound a month, which was really frustrating.
I just started week 4 of p90x. i have lost 5 pounds so far (avg 1.5 lbs/week). i have also noticed a big change besides the scale, i am getting a ton of tone, it's awesome. i even take breaks on the weekend, when my schedule gets hectic and i can't find time to work out. but i'm still seeing results.
it is a lot of protein to start out though, but i eat protein shakes and vegetarian stuff to avoid too much meat. i recommend it for people who are seriously wanting to get fit and prepared to work for it. you can't get results for free.
I am going on week 11 and although I haven't lost tons of weight, maybe 5 lbs, I can tell a huge difference in strength and tone over my entire body. If you stick with this program and just give an effort, not do every rep or every exercise, you will see some type of result. Also, I haven't even been following the diet except for the 6 meals a day plan, which I was already doing, which may explain the low weight loss amount. What I like the most is that everyday there is a different workout, it never gets boring, which I can't say about the gym. This program is for people who want results but are also willing to work their off.
I started P90X 2 weeks ago. All I can say is wow. I don't know if it is the diet or the dvd's but I already can see a difference. I had a c-section 10.5 months ago and have been trying to get my pre-birth body back. I was scared that it would never been the same. I only had 10 lbs to go but it might have been a million with how my body looked. I am already fitting in my clothes better. With only 2 months till summer I am really excited to see how far I can go. I can finally see my stomach getting flatter and for someone with a 10.5 month old it feels really good.
But don't kid yourself if you want a better body you are going to have to work your off for it. You can't cry and eat cake...that me off. You want to look good get off your butt and do the work everyone else has to do to get results. There is no magic pill people.
I am new, but I donno how can I get my nutrition plan from,, I have this vague plan that I took from a friend on the net but I donno how it works , however, I am managing with it soo far,, I am in DAY 13.
In which there's :
Day 1 Protein
Day 2 Carbohydrates
Day 3 Starch
Day 4 Fruits
Day 5 Water
Is this right and if yes, is there any details u can provide me.. I live in Egypt and it is not elligble to buy any of the programs.
Thanx

I started this program to change up my routine from going to the gym everyday and based on the recommendation of my sister. It really gives you something new everyday and I like that I can do it all in the comfort of my home!

I thought I could really do it this time, I could really shed the pounds but ever since I started watching the videos 3 weeks ago and for some reason (perhaps subliminal messaging) every time I put a p90x video I am stricken with a soul-consuming desire for chocolate cake. The most exercise I get is thru crying while I eat my cake and watch the p90x video... creating a spiral of cake vs p90x that has drained my bank account and left me craving more cake. Not a recommended purchase unless you like cake and shattered dreams.
I just started P90X on Monday and I love it. It's the best all around program I've seen out there. Definitely worth trying out.

In terms of the P90X diet, I'm a fan. Nutritionally it makes sense, of course - eating super healthy with lots of whole grains, low fat, and low sugar. More importantly, however is that it's not as major a calorie-cutter as most other home fitness-associated diets. You need the calories to make it through the workouts. The p90x nutrition plan also adds an element of flexibility by giving several options to follow - either a rigid day-by-day meal calendar, or else a choose-it-yourself portion control methodology.
My opinion on the P90X system itself is posted on my blog: http://www.robgetsripped.com/2008/11/P90X-Review.php.

I have just finished my 1st week of workouts with P90X. THe first week has a slight learning curve in planning your diets, snacks, exercise schedule, and getting the workout moves down. Overall, i am extermely pleased with the program. It has a great variety within the workouts that keep it fun, challengeing, and most of all intense. From most blogs i have read, p90x users say it takes a level of commitment and they are right. I have a long way to go, but i am confident i am on the right road. Bring it.
