P90X Reviews – Should Women Do It?

A lot of people wonder if P90X is good for women or not.  My question for them is always…why wouldn’t it be?  I’m still amazed at the number of people that think that as soon as a woman starts lifting weights she’s on the “fast track” to looking like one of the chicks that play rugby for New Zealand……those women are huge.

My wife hasn’t done the program religiously, but she’s done enough to notice a great deal of difference in her overall fitness level when she’s on the program compared to when she’s off it.

We did P90X Legs & Back yesterday and both of us are struggling to walk today.  Both our butts are as sore as can be.  Even something as simple as sitting down has become a great adventure.  It’s funny….I’ve done P90X Plyometrics for a while now and you’d think that it wouldn’t be much different than the legs & back workout, but you’d be mistaken.

Different exercises…..different results.  Kim was saying just the other day that she needed to do something to feel her glutes again…..well this sure did it!

The simplest answer for you if you’re a woman and wondering if P90X is right for you, is yes.  Assuming you want to build some muscle and firm up your body in places that you’ve possibly let go over the years.  Kim feels so much better about herself after doing these P90X workouts.  It’s worth it just for the mental benefits let alone all the physical benefits she gets from it.

We’re both really sore today, but the great thing about that is this……when I feel all my muscles aching it’s just a constant reminder that I’m actually doing something to get into better shape.  I feel a lot better about myself when I’m in this position.

Kim and I worked out together 3 times this week and love doing P90X together.  It’s great motivation for me when she is working out with me…..I’m so glad she’s into it.
