So it turns out that P90X (or some form thereof) has been around since 2004. So why the buzz now? Im not sure if its being endorsed by a Kardashian or if theyve just upped their infomercial budget but it seems like its become very popular. In visiting the P90X website, I could not find a single review that was negative. Thats not terribly surprising. If I were their marketing director I wouldnt want to approve negative reviews for the home page either. But after visiting Amazon, I found that not all of their customers are quite so happy. The vast majority had positive remarks for the workout program but there were many complaints about damaged discs and poor customer service and even quite a few comments reflecting my initial reaction to P90X: Anyone who can dedicate 2 hours/day to working out for 90 days straight will get ripped, P90X or not.
I never understand how exercise programs become so popular and then ultimately fade away. Remember Buns of Steel? Or Sweatin to the Oldies? Or Carmen Electras Fit to Strip? Or Billy Blanks and Tae Bo? I do. I still own some of them. Will P90X end up just being another workout that "used to be" popular, with all of the DVDs resting in storage totes 10 years from now?
As for me, Ill stick to my Wii Fit and the workout DVDs I already own. Im not delusional enough to think that I could lose 112 lbs in 90 days and all of a sudden have 6 pack abs. My journey on Medi-Weightloss is going to be a long one and while Id love to shorten it by adding in an intense workout every day... the reality for me is that I just dont want to workout for hours every day. I want to relax after work and not feel obligated to anyone or anything but myself. Because if I cant motivate myself enough to lose weight for my own health & future, then where would I be after those first 90 days of intense workouts? Right back where I started. So, this morning Ill channel my inner Tony Horton and challenge myself because its no one elses job but my own.
