Editorial Review :

Tired of ineffective workouts that sound great but produce less-than-optimal results? Turn to the P90X Extreme Home Fitness system, a bundle of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. Hosted by personal trainer Tony Horton, the series of DVDs will help you get lean, bulk up, or grow stronger, with an endless variety of mix-and-match routines to keep you motivated. The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "muscle confusion," which accelerates the fitness process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so that your body never plateaus and you never get bored. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up. And the more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results will be. By breaking old routines and opening new doors, secondary and tertiary muscles are constantly being activated and developed.

In addition to the 12 DVD workouts, the P90X comes with a comprehensive three-phase nutrition plan, specially designed supplement options, a detailed fitness guide packed with valuable information on how to get the most from your program, a How to Bring It DVD that provides a quick overview of the system, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more.

The DVD Workouts
Each of the 12 highly diverse and intense DVD workouts focuses on either a specific set of muscle groups or a unique training technique.

• Workout One: Chest & Back. This superset chest-and-back-blasting workout emphasizes two classic upper-body exercises--push-ups and pull-ups--to build strength and develop shape. The combination of these two push and pull movements will help you burn loads of calories while simultaneously attacking, strengthening, and developing multiple muscle groups.

• Workout Two: Plyometrics. Get ready to go airborne. Offering more 30 explosive jumping moves, this intense cardio routine will keep you in the air most of the time. Plyometrics, also known as jump training, has been proven to dramatically improve athletic performance. If your sport involves a ring, rink, field, court, or track, this training will give you the edge. Just be prepared to "bring it" for a full hour when you leap into this workout, because there is no letting up.

• Workout Three: Shoulders & Arms. Nothing rounds out the perfect physique like a pair of well-defined arms and shoulders, and with its potent combination of pressing, curling, and fly movements, this routine will leave you feeling stronger and looking sexier. Whether you want to build muscle mass or just slim and tighten what you've already got, these targeted shoulder and arm exercises will give you the results you want.

• Workout Four: Yoga X. Yoga is a vital part of any fitness regimen, and is an absolute must for an extreme program like P90X. This routine combines strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind. Yoga X will leave you feeling energized, invigorated, and maybe even a little enlightened.

• Workout Five: Legs & Back. Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other. While the main focus of this workout lies in strengthening and developing the leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), there are also a handful of great pull-up exercises to give your legs a quick breather while you work the upper body.

• Workout Six: Kenpo X. Kenpo X was created to give P90X users a high-intensity cardiovascular workout packed with lots of punching and kicking combinations to improve balance, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. During this workout you'll learn some of the most effective ways to defend yourself, while at the same time getting your body in peak condition.

• Workout Seven: X Stretch. Stretching is the one thing that will help you achieve a higher level of athleticism over a longer period of time. The X Stretch routine is an integral part of the program, as it helps prevent injuries and avoid plateaus. The extensive full-body stretches that make up this routine use disciplines from Kenpo karate, hatha yoga, and various sports to ensure that your body is fully prepared to meet all P90X challenges head-on.

• Workout Eight: Core Synergistics. Each and every exercise in the Core Synergistics workout recruits multiple muscle groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your body from head to toe. Loaded with a variety of fun, unique, and challenging exercises, this routine will get you moving in all directions to maximize your P90X results.

• Workout Nine: Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps. Packed with an array of moves that target both large and small muscles, this workout will do wonders for your upper body. In just one full sequence you'll get a healthy dose of presses, flys, and extensions to push you to the brink. The results will be a stronger, leaner, and highly defined upper torso that will leave you looking awesome, with or without a shirt.

• Workout 10: Back & Biceps. With a host of curls and pull-ups, this routine will make it fun to flex those powerful biceps. But don't worry, ladies--by using lighter weight, you can focus on toning and tightening these showcase arm muscles without adding the size that most guys covet. Additionally, this workout also provides some great back definition that everyone can appreciate. Regardless of your goals, you will achieve them in dramatic fashion if you dig in and max out your reps.

• Workout 11: Cardio X. This low-impact cardio routine can be used in a variety of ways to meet your P90X goals. Use it in addition to your standard P90X workload when you want to burn some extra calories, or as a substitute if your body needs a break from the program's high-impact workouts. Whatever your reason for using Cardio X, you'll find it a fun, full-throttle, fat-burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean.

• Workout 12: Ab Ripper X. The combination and sequence of movements in this unique workout taps into not only abdominal strength, but true core strength as well. Master these 11 highly effective exercises and you will achieve vital abdominal muscle strength to benefit your overall health and physical performance. You'll also develop that highly coveted six-pack as you take Ab Ripper X to full throttle. It's extreme work that's better than any machine in any club.

P90X Fitness Guide
This is your road map and your plan of attack for using P90X. Learn guidelines for getting started and essential tips for how to make the most of the program. The fitness guide provides you tips to reduce your chance of injury; a fit test; recommended supplements and equipment; detailed instructions for stretching, warming up, and performing exercises; and guidelines to help you select which P90X phase to complete, whether Classic, Doubles, or Lean.

The Nutrition Plan
Following the P90X nutrition plan is just as vital to your overall success as any of the extreme workouts in this program. Specifically designed to work in tandem with the P90X workout routines, this three-phase eating plan recommends the perfect combination of foods to satisfy your body's energy needs every step of the way. P90X is not about quick fixes or miracle diets. It's about selecting the healthy foods that you want to eat, and determining the portion amounts that will provide your body with the right amount of fuel to excel during exercise. The P90X nutrition plan offers three phases. Phase 1 is the Fat Shredder, a high-protein-based diet designed to help you strengthen your muscles while simultaneously and rapidly shedding fat from your body. Phase 2 is the Energy Booster, a balanced mix of carbohydrates and proteins with a lower amount of fat to achieve additional energy for performance. And Phase 3 is the Endurance Maximizer, an athletic diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and lower fat, with the emphasis on more carbohydrates. You'll need this combination of foods as fuel to get the most out of your final few weeks and truly be in the best shape of your life.

Not happy with it

I brought it from a dealer on amazon and I did'nt get the nutrition guide or exercise planner. I just got the dvds and the package was really beat up. If I had seen a picture of what I was getting before hand I would not have brought it for $80.

This program works

This is a home fitness program that works. It offers enough diversity in the workout routines to minimize boredom, options to modify the workouts to increase or decrease intensity, and options to turn off all but the workout cues. You'll need to commit 1-1.5 hours per day, a workout mat, resistance bands or dumb bells and a space that is at least 6 feet by 12 feet.
I was not an ideal candidate for the program. I was overweight and underfit. I am nearly 50 years old with both shoulder and knee issues.
It took me about 160 days to complete the 90-day program. I still choose to skip or modify some of the exercises in the program. I did not use the resources available from the manufacturer's web site and I did not write down the details of the workout to track my progress over time. I started without use of weights (using bands) and migrated to weights as I became stronger. I did not use the weight-loss portion of the program as I was already enrolled in Weight Watchers and comfortable with that program. After completing the program, I am within a few pounds of my ideal weight and I have muscle definition that I haven't had in decades. I am stronger, more flexible and have better balance.

Its GREAT


I bought this pedometer about 18 months ago. I've been using it regularly and have had no problems. Battery life is about 6 months or so and the batteries are easy to get. The nicest feature (to me) is that it doesn't make noise -- the mechanical pedometers click with each step, this is completely silent. It is pretty accurate -- if you wear your pants lower than the natural waist, it might miss a few steps -- also if you walk very smoothly, it will miss steps. Yes, it does work when I stick in in a pocket in my purse.

Staying on Track

I love everything about this pedometer. It was easy to program and get started. I like that it tracks your steps, aerobic steps, calories burned, miles walked, etc. It's ability to reset itself every night at midnight is also very handy. A great product for a very reasonable price here on Amazon. It is keeping me on track with my daily workouts and just to wear all day to track steps, etc. Love it!!!!

Great device Very Very Very poor belt clip

It amazes me how a company could make such a wonderfully accurate and feature rich device and then give it a almost nonexistent belt clip. The clip is so flimsy it comes off at the slightest touch. This is on a device that is used to measure exercise levels and distances. When carried inside of a pocket the device was not nearly as accurate and needs to be carried in there with a certain orientation. If not for the belt clip I would have given this a 5 star rating.

Best Pedometer Yet!

I purchased this pedometer about a month ago. Prior to this purchase I have owned at least 4 other brand name pedometers that never performed as promised. When I received the Ormon, I calibrated it ( very easy to do) using the same information as my other pedometers and went out to measure my current walking route. I was amazed at how accurate and consistant the readings were. It was within 30 paces of the actual distance. My other pedometers measured up to several hundred paces +/- of the correct distance and never the same distance twice. I have recommended this to other friends and wear it from the time I get going in the morning to the time I go to bed. It's a great way to monitor your 10,000 steps a day and I am always trying to beat the previous days reading. The Omron HJ-112 is definately a keeper!

Customer Review :

Exactly what you need for P90X. Stop looking and order it.

Has all the grip positions you need. Fits over the doorframe and is easily removed after you're done working out. Very sturdy and easy to assemble. If you are doing P90X, this is the bar you need.

Bear in mind that this is not an alternative to a real chin-up bar. It will wiggle a bit if you swing your body so you must be careful. If you're doing switch grip pullups you can't swing and jerk too much. But that is true with any of these doorframe chin-up bars.

Rating :

Excellent Product!

This product is not cheap by any means. For it to hold a 200 and 250lb guy is pretty impressive! and it fits in ALL my door ways! As far as assembly for this product , you don't need any tools at all! It comes with everything you need to start doing pull ups right away!

eazy to install

i bought this product from my local wal mart.it was really easy to assemble.took me about 15 minutes....just make sure you have a big enough gap on top of your door way so the bar can lock in place.i had to use my bedroom door instead of my hallway door...i weigh 165 and it held me so dont be scared....its worth the 40$....i bought it for the wide grip and still has 4 other grips to...i love it.i do pullups in between modern warfare 2 matches....LA4LIFE on the psn...for ps3

Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar

Great product! Anyone who is serious about working out should have this relatively cheap piece of equipment in their tool bag. Highly recommended!

Great piece of excercice equipment for the price

I have to say that I am skeptic when it comes to exercise equipment. This product has surpassed my expectations. I bought it on sale for $30 at Big 5 Sporting Goods as it was cheaper than Amazon. Putting it together took less than 6 minutes. I used a monkey wrench instead of the wrench that came in the box. It fitted perfectly on my walk in closet door. I put in some extra packing foam on the edges of the bar to prevent any door markings. I like the variety of exercises that can be done on this pull up bar. I'm 203 pounds and the bar feels sturdy enough for me. My goal is to gain more strength and loose weight. My goal is to be at 180 pounds. Of course I'm also doing 30 minutes of cardio each day on my elliptical machine. I'm also following the recommended diet that came in the Iron Gym instructions. Good luck to everybody that is looking to get in shape and loose weight! :)

Exercise Band OK, but not great

This Exercise Band is OK but could be a lot better with a few simple improvements. The handles need to be a little bigger with more padding. Additionally, the door attachment ball (which holds the band to a door frame) definitely needs to be bigger. It's too small and occasionally slips through and can cause an injury. With these few simple improvements, this band would be rated 5 stars.

Rating :

warning the door attachment can be dangerous if your doors have any gaps on top the door

the door attachment is poorly made I didn't notice I had a 1/2 inch gap on my doors when i placed the door attachment on top and i had a pretty long stretch when doing pull-downs with it the door attachment wedge through door and whacked me in chest leaving a very large welt from bands and door attachment so please see that your doors dont have any gaps cause ball from door attachment is made poorly and ball will slide through gap through door and most likely inflect severe pain I was lucky that it didn't hit me on face

really useful

I am a fitness professional and currently live in a building that has only single purpose machines. Having exercise tubes is an easy way to add possibly infinite number of exercises to your routine at a good price. I wouldn't pay more than $15 for any exercise tube, but it is a good investment.

Rating :

not so much

Suppose to be heavy duty, but really the resisitance is more on the "mild" side,also there are 2 pressed metal pieces that help hold the handles on and one has come loose already (after a months use)I had to take some pliers and press them back together- I didnt pay much for this and you get what you pay for- wouldnt recommend

Building Better Humans

I'm on day 36 of the workout which is the first day of month two. I have been so happy we bought this. Since I saw this on an infomercial, I was kinda expecting it to be (bluntly) cheap crap. I was just hoping for a workout to do on days that I don't run or punch the bag. I also wanted a video workout that wasn't feminine in nature with a bunch of girly moves ie. 'sashay left, sashay right.' I don't sashay.

From the time you open the package you can tell that they put a lot of effort into making this a serious workout program. The packaging and accompanying literature alone give you an indication that this isn't going to be cheap crap.

Once I started with the first DVD I was hooked. The production quality is very good. The music (which you can choose to turn off) adds to the overall effect of the intensity. I soon decided to stop every other workout I was doing and give this program the two months to see if it works as well as advertised. As of day 36, I'm pretty sure it does.

As everyone has clearly explained - THIS IS NOT EASY!! Keeping up with the pace of the workout is difficult although there really aren't that many hard exercises. You just do the exercises with enough intensity and for long enough to get results. Staying motivated to continue hasn't been nearly as hard as I thought it would be. In fact, I've been super-motivated to make time every day in order to not miss any days. So far I'm on track. The motivation comes from the fact that you can see and feel results. After only the first few days I felt like my core had been coated in steel. On days when you can't see your progress, you can usually feel progress. I feel stronger everywhere.

Another thing that keeps you motivated is the variation. There are various exercises on each workout DVD and variations of workouts throughout the program. You may repeat the same workout a few times in one month, but the order of the workouts is mixed up so it is never monotonous.

Somebody with a lot of experience and knowledge of physical fitness - presumably Shaun T - put a lot of thought into this program. I'm usually sweating by the end of the warm-ups at the beginning of each workout. After the warm-ups comes the stretching. Then you get to the exercises and finally more stretching at the end. There is a lot of intensity in the workouts but I haven't had any injuries yet. The program pushes you to your limits but the rest days and recovery workouts seem to be inserted at just the right time to make it possible for your body to continue.

I also like the format - a group of about 12-15 people, led by Shaun T, inside a gymnasium. Everyone looks very athletic but that doesn't mean they can keep up. It's inspiring to see so many apparently fit people suffering and sweating as much as you are. I like that they didn't try to hide that.

Oh yeah - I like that running clock at the bottom of the screen which tells you how long you have left in each exercise set and how long you have in the entire workout.

FYI I'm a guy. I turn 40 this year and am in pretty good shape. I'm a casual runner but ran my first marathon a few months ago. The Insanity workout is difficult regardless of what physical condition you are in or what sports you currently participate in. There are so many exercises targeting so many parts of the body - with overall emphasis on the core - that you are literally transforming your body into an overall stronger, faster, more finely tuned machine. I think I'll be a better runner after I finish this program.

Don't get frustrated if you can't keep up. This workout program wouldn't be as effective if it were easily mastered. You'll see improvements as long as you keep trying.

I'd recommend this for ANYONE who doesn't have physical impediments or injuries keeping them from completing the moves.

The Insanity workout is a roadmap to transforming your entire body into a higher performing machine.

Awesomely hard

This DVD set is fantastic. The workouts are difficult, but they are *not* for folks who cannot perform high-impact exercise. I am most impressed with the format. Shaun T comes across as very genuine and motivates you without patronizing you. A lot of other DVD fitness instructors seem like people who are insecure because they couldn't get a date in high school, but Shaun checks his baggage at the gym door and encourages you to motivate yourself. The other people in the video are fit and attractive, but they come across as real people. No matchy-matchy outfits and 'fitness models' with implants, here. Everyone in the video is moving at their own pace, and pushing themselves. The clock at the bottom of the screen helps you keep going. This would be a great program for people who travel, since you don't need any equipment. My preschooler loves to do the videos with me. She likes to try all the running in place and jumping, so this has been a fun way for me to model healthy behaviors for her, as well.

my knees couldn't take it

I finished the first 4 weeks, and my fitness level really jumped, but i started feeling pain in both knees whenever i do the workout, then the pain continued to be with me in everything i do in my life....
I was really dissappointed because i started to feel the defference at the same time i decided to quit the insanity workout.

It's Insane!

Watch the info-mertial on TV or go to the web site and watch the short ad. If you want to get in great shape and have no medical problems, then buy this. Lost 8lbs in 4 weeks. It feels like more but that's the inches. They suggest measuring but I didn't bother. It is as hard as they say. But I feel great.
