P90X equipment is imperative if optimum P90X results are desired.
I personally was hesitant when I learned that there were required add-ons to this program: equipment that can cost you a few bucks to begin with. Remember, I was a financially struggling father of a family of 5 and so every penny counted.  At the end of the day, I knew that my health was a priority so I went ahead and sold a few things a round my house to get it done. Priorities my friend!

By the way, with the P90X equipment needed, it’s still way cheaper than buying a home gym or registering for an annual membership at the gym. With P90X, you have a gym for a lifetime included in the one time price. They say the P90X equipment is optional but it goes without saying that P90X won’t be complete without these essential items. In the end, I finally decided to get all the required P90X equipment.

And guess what I got afterwards? Spot-on P90X results that clearly brought out the best in me. So is it really important to have P90X equipment ready before starting the program itself? Based on my experience, YES, it is. However, P90X and it’s minimal equipment will amount to nothing if you lack the determination and motivation to push forward in the program. Believe me when I say that P90X is not just all about having a complete set of equipment – it’s also about YOU and how willing you are to reap outstanding benefits from your hard work.

On the other hand, there is actually a way to make the whole experience of getting P90X equipment convenient and budget-friendly. But before that, let’s have a mini-tour to completely understand the basics of P90X equipment.

 

P90X Equipment: The Basics

Perhaps you already know that P90X is a brainchild of  Beachbody and that it consists of a 90-day fitness program to help you tone up, develop lean muscles, or trim down extra fats while improving your flexibility, agility, nutritional education, and more. You can perform P90X by just using your own gravity alone but that will require tremendous effort and painful joint strain. This is when P90X equipment comes to the picture.

The following are just some of the basic P90X equipment you ought to include on your shopping list if you desire the best results:

  1. P90X Training System – This is what you get when you buy the basic program. It includes a total of 12 DVDs, a nutrition plan and a fitness guide. Must read first to know what you are getting yourself into. It prepares you mentally and helps you get started on the right foot with a targeted goal in mind.
  2. P90X Pull-up Bar – I know a lot of people hate the mere sight of them but pull-up bars are required for 3 out of the 12 workout DVDs. Resistance bands with the door hitch can be a substitute if you don’t want to do pull ups just yet on a pull up bar. Still very effective.
  3. Resistance bands or dumbbells – P90X is composed mostly of weight training exercises so it’s no wonder that these P90X equipment are included on the list. You can either choose dumbbells (Wal-Mart has a lot of them) or resistance bands if you are always on the go or you want an alternative tool for the sweat-inducing pull-up bars.

UPDATE: I have just bought the Bowflex power blocksthat replaces 15 sets of weights all in one set of dumbells. Saves you so

much space and it’s cost is much lower than buying each individual dumbbell which runs on average of $1 per pound. My first round of P90X all I got was a set of 10’s, 15’s and 20’s for dumbells. In addition, I got the resistance bands in which I think works excellent for the shoulder workouts.

Aside from the P90X equipment mentioned above, there are also optional items that can contribute largely to P90X success. Some of them are the following:

  1. P90X Results & Recovery Drink and Whey protein for building more muscles and replenishing energy after each workout.
  2. Yoga mat and 2 Yoga blocks for extra stability and protection during extreme yoga poses. In my opinion, this is the least needed of all the equipment if you are financially strapped. You can do without the blocks if needed to save some money.
  3. Heart rate monitor to fine-tune your performance and push-up bars to protect your wrist from possible wrist injury.

 

Where to buy P90X Equipment?

If you’re asking about a legitimate and well-trusted place to buy P90X equipment, purchasing your necessities from a Beachbody coach like myself is the best way to get what you need. When you buy through a coach, Beachbody also assigns them to you for accountability as your free coach. This coach is someone who has actually done the program already that can coach you for free as well as someone you can call and email when you have questions. Aside from the fact that Beachbody is the name behind these products, it can also offer you wider options to get affordable discounts up to 25% off.

If you’re a starter, you can choose P90X Results Package over P90X Training System to save a total of $24. The basic Training System only includes DVDs and guides while the package comes with all the items needed to start the P90X program including training system, pull up bar, recovery drinks and resistance bands. The amount of money you get to save is equal to the additional price you will be required to pay if you buy each item in the package separately.

Now if you want to save more, you can also decide to get the Beachbody Club Membership Account which will enable you to get 10% discount for all Beachbody items and get access to other limited freebies like personalized meal plans, chat priviledges with the pro trainers themselves like Tony Horton each month, and guides to enrich your knowledge about fitness and diet more.

Lastly, if you just discovered that motivating and inspiring people are your greatest passions in life, then this is the best time to become a Beachbody Coach and put your sense of commitment to test. Not only that because once you become a Coach, you also get the chance to earn commissions and enjoy 25% discounts for all Beachbody products for you to spread the good message to all who are looking for a better life through health and fitness and more.

 

How important is P90X Equipment?

P90X equipment, to begin with, are not expensive items made to hurt your budget. As a matter of fact, they are designed to make the P90X workouts easier and safer for you to execute. For this reason, I highly recommend using them to help you achieve maximum P90X results. P90X alone is a top notch program effective on its own but with the help of P90X equipment, anyone who is committed can achieve their personal best.
