In my opinion, it’s a great thing that a business can so successfully offer viable solutions to address the dire state of personal fitness in our country today. Its success has spawned a broad array of niche DVD products offering fitness solutions for seemingly all demographics and age groups.

As of November 2010, 3 million copies of P90X have been sold for an estimated $420 million. P90X has been a very successful product for Beachbody, LLC accounting for almost half the sales of the private company’s $430 million 2010 revenues. And I’ve never been stronger than I am now. I was possibly in better shape 30 years ago at age 18, but I am definitely in better shape now than any time in the past 20 years. Beachbody’s marketing claims that completing P90X will leave you in “the best shape of your life” and I tend to agree. It’s a challenging effort that yields positive results for those who apply themselves and finish the program. The lead protagonist, self-described “fitness clown” Tony Horton and his minions guide the viewer through a 90 day, 12 DVD journey of pull ups, push-ups, squats, lunges, core work, plyometric jumps, kenpo and yoga routines. And those who have completed the program often speak of it, and their experience with it, in a quasi-religious fervor. While it’s not a cult or a Religion, it has made an impression in popular culture. Who hasn’t watched one of the ubiquitous P90X infomercials while channel surfing through the wasteland of late night TV.

P90X was released to the market in 2005 and has been an early leader in the growing home fitness segment. I am not a Coach and I’m not affiliated in any way with Beachbody, LLC or any of its products. In this post I will document my motivations, impressions, results and advice for those who might be interested in pursuing improved health and fitness with P90X. On April 22, 2011, I completed my 90 day odyssey with Beachbody, LLC’s P90X home fitness regimen.
