P90X Reviews – Tips From the Road

I just got back from a Photography assignment in Los Angeles. Want a great tip for traveling? Be sure to bring a set of workout bands.
I’m really glad I brought mine. I didn’t do complete P90X workouts, but I was able to crank out a bunch of the exercises in about 15 minutes and that was a lot better than just blowing off my workouts completely.
The bands work great. You don’t need but one. If you need more resistance you can just make the loop you stand on a little bigger.
One of the biggest problems with most weight lifting programs is that you can’t travel with them…..the resistance bands solve that dilemma.
They don’t take a lot of room in your suitcase, so there aren’t any excuses.
P90X Reviews – Can I Do P90X If I Travel a Lot?

I get a lot of people contacting me, wondering if P90X will work for them if they travel frequently for business and find themselves on the road.
This is an easy question for me to answer since I travel quite often for my commercial photography business. In the last couple of years, I’ve been to Africa, Spain, France, Greece, Costa Rica, Vancouver, Whistler, London, Norway and Prague. I love all those frequent flyer miles!
P90X workouts are easily adaptable for someone that finds themselves on the road. Assuming you have a laptop to watch your P90X routines on or a dvd player in your hotel room, the only other thing you need is a set of the B-Line Resistance Bands and towels to keep the great big pools of sweat from ruining the hotel room floor carpet.
They’re super light weight and can fit anywhere in your luggage without really making a dent on your weight limit on any of the airlines. Those excess baggage fees have become ridiculous lately.
The workouts are a little different and take a little bit of effort to get used to when compared to using dumbbells and the pull up bar. But you’d have to be a completely uncoordinated weenie to not be able to pull this off. If that is the case, you have bigger problems than your weight or lack of fitness. It does mix things up from the norm though and that helps with muscle confusion.
I like being able to workout in my own hotel room instead of heading down to the hotel gym and fighting over the small amount of equipment usually available.
All in all, P90X travels well and easily. Anyone concerned about the effectiveness of the training when on the road, has no need to be. P90X works great whether you’re at home or at a hotel in the latin quarter of Paris with a view of Notre Dame.
