Fitness corner: Is P90X a good investment?

Fitness enthusiast Garry Y. Itkin has been busy writing and releasing a number of informative and educational blogs about health and fitness. For today, he looks at one of the most popular fitness trends to come out in the 21st century – fitness videos from Beachbody.com, specifically Tony Horton’s P90X series.

The question is, is P90X a good investment?

Garry Y. Itkin managed to borrow a couple of P90X DVDs from his friend in order to come up with his own definitive review on it.

First off, Garry Y. Itkin was surprised at the number of programs in P90X. There are a couple of cardio programs, a majority of it are bodybuilding programs, and there’s even a yoga video for rest days.

Garry Y. Itkin tried a few programs himself and the difficulty level definitely raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect it to be as hard as it was, even with moderate weights. However, he believes anyone can overcome it over time.

So, as far as if it’s a good investment is concerned, Garry Y. Itkin believes it to be so, since it will take a person a few months to get used to, way more than the 90 days Tony Horton promises.

And even if a person manages to complete the entire 90-day program, Garry Y. Itkin explains that it can easily be modified to make things more challenging.
