P90X Results – I’m a P90X Graduate! :-)
I just want people to realize that if this is something that I can do, than you can definitely get awesome P90X results too! I simply decided to do the P90X program, I committed myself to the program and the nutrition plan, and I succeeded! I am definitely in the best shape of my life, and I’m excited to continue with my trek of fitness and health! Here are my P90X results pictures from my very first round of P90X-
P90X Results
P90X Results – Goals Accomplished?
Did I accomplish all of my goals during this first round of P90X? For the most part! My main goals were to lose the extra fat I have around my belly (so my abs pop out) and to build muscle. I managed to lose all of the fat, and replace it with muscle.
The only thing that I wished I would have gotten better results with was adding size to my muscles. I got some increase in size in my chest, but none in my arms. That was really my own fault though because I wasn’t taking in enough calories. I guess I’ve got to remember as well that building muscle takes time. During this first round of P90X I was mainly losing all of the unwanted fat and replacing it with muscle. I think I will have an easier time gaining muscle this next round of P90X.
P90X Results – So What Are YOU Going To Do?
I highly recommend P90X to anyone who is looking to get fit and healthy! I’ve read so many success stories of individuals of all ages and fitness levels who have gotten extreme results from P90X. One of the success stories that has really stood out in my mind is of a couple who did P90X together. They were both in their mid 50′s and the husband had Type II diabetes. He had an insulin requirement of 20 to 30 units twice per day before the program. At the end of P90X, he had a daily insulin requirement of ZERO!
I’m extremely happy with my P90X results! You can easily get the same results or you could do even better! If you’re looking to purchase P90X, then make sure to click here.

Hey Jonathon,
Awesome your bf% is 10. Dayum.
One area I lack actually is my chest..I don’t have much of one. Even with 90 days in your pocket, just in my opinion, I was expecting your chest to maybe have pumped up a bit, but between your day 1 and day 90..doesn’t seem to be the case. Were you surprised by that?
I have pretty much determined that in order to get a bigger chest, you HAVE to do heavy chest weights (8-10 reps) versus countless pushups. Though ones chest will get super strong doing that many pushups….just doesn’t seem size comes with it.
I wonder if pushup bars make ones chest get bigger versus regular pushups.
thoughts?
I actually did get some increase in size in my chest. Not a huge amount, but I did get an increase. I think this next round of P90X, if I increase the daily calories and keep the protein high I’ll see a much bigger increase in size. This first round, I just don’t think I ate enough food. That was no one’s fault but my own.
I did buy the push up bars about halfway through this first round of P90X and started using them, which is when I actually did start seeing an increase in size. It’s hard to say though if the increase in size was just from the push up bars, but I’m sure they had something to do with it. The great thing about them is that they take a lot of the pressure off of your wrists, and you can get much deeper into the push ups which makes them harder, but it gives you a better workout. I agree with you that I think at some point you will have to add weight if you want to keep adding size. That’s why I’m considering buying a weighted vest at some point in the future. I could wear the vest during all of the workouts (which would be incredibly hard depending on the amount of weight) but I’m sure I’d get some great workouts.
oh, and did you go tanning LOL. Seems like EVERYONE who takes a before/after pic set is always tans in the after picture.
A buddy of mine asked me the same thing. No, I didn’t go tanning..lol! If I did I’d burn up and look like a lobster! I actually used 2 different cameras which is why the color looks different. I’m glad it makes me look like I have a tan because I need it! :-)
Hi Jonathon,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Your P90X round 1 result is so great! I am so jealous! So far from what I’ve seen, mostly men gained more obvious results from P90X than women, is that correct? I didn’t get much definition on my abs yet, and my shoulders and arms are still pretty weak (can’t even do a decent push up from toes, still on knees). So this Round 2 I’m hoping to get more defined abs, lose that extra fat at my lower belly and toned up my arms.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Yea, I think you’re about right that typically men will see more increase in muscle mass than women. My wife just started doing P90X with me. She isn’t looking to build muscle but is looking to get tone and lose a few extra pounds.
You’ll get there! Just keep giving the workouts 100% and before you know it you’ll be able to do multiple push ups! Keep me updated on your progress with P90X!
Hello!
My husband and I just started P90X three weeks ago. Our biggest challenge has not been the routine, but the nutritional plan. It's been really hard to cut on carbs and find a menu that offers variety. How difficult was it for you to keep up with it. I don't want to be hungry or have cravings all the time…
Congrats for completing 3 weeks of P90X!!!
I basically eat a high protein/high fiber diet so it actually isn't that hard to stick with it. I eat lots of fish, chicken, tuna, eggs, smoothies, etc. The Nutrition Plan has lots of recipes. A good book that I also recommend you check out is called the Abs Diet by David Zinczenko. It is pretty much the same diet as the Nutrition Plan and it has lots of very simple recipes.
Did you calculate the number of calories you should have according to the Nutritional Plan? If you did that, and you eat 5 to 6 small meals a day, then you definitely won't go hungry or have cravings all the time! When doing P90X, you'll actually need to eat more calories then what you typically would eat.
Keep up the hard work with P90X! Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions!!
I was wondering if you could recommend some push up bars and did you get a on the pull up bar? If so could you recommend one of those too? Great results too, I'm sure they will continue to only get better
I bought my push up bars and pull up bar directly from Beachbody. You can visit the store here-
http://trek2befit.com/go/store
Just click on Equipment and Gear, and then click P90X Equipment. You'll see the pull up bar and push up bars there.
I appreciate it! Are you about to start P90X?
I was wondering does this p90x work for all types of body. Im a skinny guy and my dad was a skinny guy when he was my age. will i actually gain muscle because i use muscle gain stuff and work out alot.
It definitely does work for all body types. As you can see by my pictures on my blog I was pretty skinny to begin with and it worked for me. If you are trying to gain muscle then just focus on lower reps (8-10) and higher weight. I hope that helps!
Congrats on completing the program! What program did you choose to do? Lean, Classic or Doubles? I am currently on Week 3 and want to lose more weight and plan on doing the doubles version.
Thanks! My second round of P90X I ended up doing the Classic version again (which I just finished at the end of last week).
CONGRATS for getting to week 3 of P90X! Keep up the hard work and you will continue to see results! Also, keep me updated on your progress.
nice man im jealous of the abs lol
I myself look skinny when wearing a shirt i weigh 145 lbs 5"9. But without a shirt i feel fat, which is why i always come up with some excuse to avoid the pool parties. Right now i really want some abs before focusing on gaining muscle mass. Then when i have the abs i want i'll then start eating alot of calories to gain mass.
My only problem is my dad says im to skinny and doesnt want me to lose anymore weight.. But it feels like my last option is p90x..
I appreciate it! They're always a work in progress! :-)
For being 5''9, 145 does sound kind of light…but I guess it's hard to say without seeing you. If you aren't doing P90X, then you definitely should do it! With P90X, you will have to make sure to eat plenty of food because you'll need it to help fuel your body so you get through the workouts. You'll be doing the "Ab Ripper X" workout three times a week during P90X, and it is a killer ab workout! If you stick with it, you will get results!
Let me know if you decide to start P90X, and keep me updated with your progress! Have a good one!
Like i said i look skinny with a shirt on, but off i have no defintion and alittle fat. I really wanna lose that fat to expose my abs, but i dont wanna lost weight cause that'd put me in the 130's any suggestions man.
My suggestion is to do P90X! :-) With P90X you'll get the Nutrition Guide, which will help you figure out how many calories you'll need daily while doing P90X, and what foods to eat. I didn't follow the Nutrition Guide to the letter, but I did try to make sure to get the daily calories I needed and I ate a high protein, high fiber diet. I also tried to avoid the processed food and junk food as much as possible (also cut out the soda). That is exactly what I did to get the results I got from P90X. By following the nutrition guide, and doing P90X, you will definitely start seeing your abs.
If do order P90X, order it through my site and you'll get me as your personal success Coach and I'll help you in anyway that I can. Just go to the Beachbody Store by clicking the "Shop the Beachbody Store" link on the top right hand side under the title Hot Links.
Let me know if you have any other questions!!
I am updating you on my status as you asked.. I am about to start week 5 but have an issue. My old injury has came back and came back with a vengeance. I have had bad knees for years but they have been good throughout my workouts but my right knee started to hurt bad a few days ago so I went to the doctor. He says I have torn cartilage on the inside of my knee. So I took a day off then could only do about 75% of the second core synergistics workout. Then I took the kempo day off as well as my normal day off. Regardless, tomorrow I am starting my doubles workout with a cardio workout in the morning. I am probably going to substitute the cardio X workout with some elliptical work so my knee won't hurt so bad. Some who read this may think I am stupid for pushing it but I am seeing some great results and don't want to stop. I do have to ask a question, I feel like I need more ab work. Did you feel like that during your workouts too? I also took my 30 day photos today but my memory card became corrupt somehow so I lost my day 1 and 30 day photos, I wasn't happy at all!
Congrats on your great results so far with P90X and I appreciate the update! I don't think you're stupid for continuing, but I do think you should listen to any advice your doctor gave you and to take care of your knees! It sounds like you are doing that and modifying the workouts so you can do them. Continue to modify any of the leg/cardio workouts as much as you have to to make them work for you. The elliptical is a great low-impact replacement so I think you are doing a great job. Just listen to your body and don't overdo it! :-)
Ab Ripper X was pretty tough for me when I first started P90X, so no I didn't feel like I needed more ab work. Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't see the results you were hoping to see in your abs, especially since you've only finished 30 days. It really wasn't until the end of Phase 2 that I really noticed major results…everyone is different and it takes time. Just try to be patient and at the end of 90 days when you re-take your measurements, the fit test, and your pictures you WILL see results as long as you have followed the program and the nutrition guide.
You are doing great! Keep up the hard work and don't hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions!

I have just bought the p90x and same like the Justin who is interest to take of the shirt cause he feels fat. But I’m 5’10″ and 165lbs i drank a couple of those mass builders i use to be 140lbs. I heard a lot of successful stories and i’m ready to change how i look. I just want to make sure its not a scam, and by the way your picture looks fake man or like it got photo chopped no offence do.
Thanks for the comment buddy! CONGRATS on making the commitment for change! Now you’ve just got do it, and complete your P90X workouts every single day. What kind of goals are you trying to accomplish?
As far as my P90X results pictures, I used 2 different cameras which is why the color is different. I’m pretty decent at computers but not that good to photo shop a picture like that lol…I take that as a compliment though that my P90X results were pretty decent for my first round. So NO, it’s not a P90X scam or anything crazy like that! :-)
Let me know when you get your P90X and when you officially start!
yesterday was my first day 5/5/11 and man em i feeling it this morning. but i feel sore and muscles hurt but i feel good and energized. so i’m going to stick to it. just need to know if its ok to dring more of that mass builder or stop?
Good! Just keep doing your best and don’t worry about anything else!!! I honestly don’t use that stuff or know much about it. I’d recommend following the P90X Nutrition Guide and sticking with a high protein, clean eating plan. The only supplement I’d recommend right now is the P90X Recovery Drink. Hope that helps!
HEYY well i think im going to start p90x but i really need it to get more deffinetion and gain weight i am currently 5″11 138 pounds and thats freakin skinnny i need to gain weight is this the program that i need?
You can most definitely add size and gain weight with P90X. The key is making sure you take in enough calories and that you use higher weight so that you’re muscles are failing at 8 to 10 reps.
So it sounds like your goal is to gain weight and add size? What’s got you looking to do that?
Congrats on your results man, they look awesome. So I just finished day 3 of my P90x routine and I’m getting a little frustrated with the Ab RipperX because I don’t feel like I’m doing the moves right and my core is sort of weak. Did you experience this feeling and if so, did it get better over time? I rally want to get rid of this belly fat. Also, I was wondering if you could suggest a good weight size to build and define my cheat? I’m about 5 9 180 lbs. I know I’m asking a lot, any help or motivation you can assist me with is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words Tony! CONGRATS for finishing day 3 of P90X!! What kind of specific goals are you looking to accomplish with the program?
You’re only day 3! :-) It will definitely take time to build up your strength especially with Ab Ripper X. I remember when I did Ab Ripper X for the first time I was sore for days and I could barely make it through the workout. That is completely normal. Just do the very best you can, and stick with it no matter what.
Also, you’ll have to clarify your question more since I’m not sure what you’re asking. Make sure you let me know how your first full week of the program goes! Have a GREAT weekend!
Hi ive been doing some research on p90x and it sounds real but i have a ???…im 5’2 and aroung 118lb and what im looking for is to tone not lose ….what should i do. :?
You can definitely just tone with P90X. The P90X Nutrition Guide that comes with P90X will help you figure out the number of calories that you need so you don’t lose weight, and just get toned instead. Why are you at a point that you want to get toned up?
Well im a mom of 3….and you know after having baby all you want is your flat tummy again but i have not been able to do it…I lost all the weight by going to bike class but ill that did is make me lose not tone so now i just wanna focus on toneing…I have not yet bought p90x..because like i said i was doing some reaserch to see if it was a good choice for me..
P90X will most definitely get you toned! :-) My wife did P90X with me during a round she got in incredible shape from it. P90X comes with 3 different versions (Lean, Classic, & Doubles), so you can do whatever version works best for you.
As you can see from the pics above I did lose some weight, but I got really, really toned. Does that answer your question?
Hi just wondering if the P90X will work for me. I’m 26 years old 5-8 , 5-9 and 214 pounds. any advice would be helpful.
P90X will definitely work for you. What has gotten you to a point of wanting to do the program?
hello i was just curious on your thoughts about this. i am 19, 5′ 9″, and 160 pounds. I am on day one of insanity and would like to finish it to get tone on my abs and pecs. Do you think it would be a good idea to start p 90x right after i finish the 60 days of insanity?
Most definitely! They are both awesome programs, so planning ahead to start P90X after you finish Insanity is a great idea.
Hi Johnathan!
As a college student I have found it difficult to find time to go to the fitness centers on campus to get a great workout so I had mostly relied on running outside for exercise. This year, though, one of my roommates brought P90X to our apartment and we have been sticking with it — working out every morning before classes!
We are just about done with week 2 and although it is a little bit early to see physical results, I do FEEL much more energized during the day and healthier overall.
I’m wondering, though, what you thought of Insanity. What did you like/dislike about that program compared to P90x? (I’m less interested in building muscle mass and more interested in a lower BF% and overall toning/fitness)
Awesome! Congrats on your results with P90X so far Emily!
