P90X, IMHO, is designed to give maximum results to both men and women.
The beauty is, everyone goes at their own pace.
You do what YOU CAN DO.
You're "competing" against yourself, if you will.
This workout program is for anyone, male or female.
I've read reviews for P90X that say "you should already be in shape before you start it" and "if you've never worked out before, don't start with this program".
I can somewhat agree to these statements, but I feel if someone were to purchase the program, they would do research on it to begin with.
Especially since finding info on the program is easy.
My Warning To All Is, if you have NEVER worked out before, this may not be a good starting point for you.
If you decided to disregard my warning, fine.
But don't give up half way through it and say it was too tough because you are warned...
THIS IS A TOUGH PROGRAM! If you're the type of person who gives up easily (you know who you are) this is NOT FOR YOU! Oh, and all you guys filled with "machismo", check that attitude at the door.
Believe me, P90X will out "machismo" anything you have.
Any of you ladies who say "I don't want to get bulky so I won't do this program" really need to understand how workouts actually work.
This program is designed to give you the body you can show off in that new bikini, without the "Arnold" build you're assuming you end up with.
All that being said, P90X will give you what you put into it, plain and simple.
If you go about it half-ass, you'll be disappointed.
If you choose to think this program is a joke, then it probably will be for you.
I said it before and I'll say it again, P90X is a tough program, regardless of your prior workout experience.
I for one LOVE IT!
