For all of you who are just starting P90X just like me, I figured you would find having the P90X worksheets as a PDF very helpful. Simply print out the P90X worksheets so you can write your progress on them versus writing directly in the P90X Fitness Guide.

To keep myself organized, and to make everything as easy as possible, I created a P90X binder using a 1 inch binder. I printed out the P90X worksheets, hole punched them, and put them in the binder. I then printed out the P90X phases, P90X calendar, and put them in the front pocket of the binder. Lastly, I put my P90X fit test results in the back pocket of the binder (I just wrote my results on the P90X fit test pages from the Fitness Guide). This way when I do my P90X workouts, I just grab my binder so I can write my reps, weight etc. down (and I have the binder as a hard surface to write easily). You can download all of the documents I just mentioned below.

My P90X Binder Downloads:

• P90X Phases
• P90X Calendar
• P90X Worksheets
• P90X Fit Test

Lastly, I found this really cool P90X excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is INSANE on all of the things you can do with it! After my workouts, or on a weekly basis, I’m going to transfer my results into this spreadsheet. It has some really cool charts that are automatically built as you go through the workouts, and it even has nutrition section with the different phases, etc. Definitely check it out and let me know what you think of it-

Lastly, if you haven’t already ordered your P90X equipment,  make sure to do that now! Also, learn how to get a P90X discount, P90X coupon, & P90X promo codes here.

That is it for now!

How to get the 10% discount on P90X gear and all other Beachbody products.

If you want to get a 10% discount on the P90X program and other P90X gear, then you should sign up for the Beachbody Club Membership Account. There is a cost involved (a measly $2.99/week), but the membership virtually pays for itself because of the 10% discount (PLUS you get all of the benefits listed below). If you buy the P90X Results Package, then you are basically getting over 2 months of the Club Membership for free (P90X Results Package, $269.70 minus 10% discount equals $26.97, which is 9 weeks of the Club Membership at $2.99 per week). That doesn’t even include the discount you’ll get from purchasing other Beachbody products such as your monthly P90X Recovery drink, etc. You can also cancel at anytime so you’re not locked into any type of contract. Below are the benefits to signing up for the Club Membership account.

How to get the 25% discount on P90X gear and all other Beachbody products.

If you want to get a huge P90X discount, and a huge discount on all other Beachbody products, then you should consider becoming a Beachbody Coach (this is the route that I took). This is for individuals who are serious and committed to getting fit and healthy. You get a 25% discount on all P90X gear and other Beachbody products, and you can also earn commissions by selling Beachbody products to your friends, family members, co-workers etc (there is no inventory, you just direct them to your own website like this one). It actually is a very easy sell (and really doesn’t feel like selling at all), because once people start seeing the results you are getting from P90X then they will usually ask what kind of workout you’re doing.

Beachbody freebie to keep you motivated and to ensure you stick with the P90X

At the very least you should sign up for a a free Beachbody Membership Account to ensure you stick with P90X and get the best possible results. While you don’t get any discounts for signing up, you get tons of great benefits all for free! It is completely free with no gimmicks or catches and truly is worth the time and effort to sign up (it only takes a few minutes to sign up). Below are the benefits to signing up for the free membership account.

The post P90X Coupon Code and P90X Discounts first appeared on Trek2BeFit.com.

1. P90X DVD’s (“P90X Training System”)– Comes with the 12 workout P90X DVD’s, a nutrition plan, and a fitness guide.
2. P90X Pull Up Bar– This is a must since 3 of the 12 P90X DVD’s use the pull up bar.
3. Resistance Bands or Dumbbells– Either of these will work, but you need at least one or the other. I’m using dumbbells that I bought from Wal-Mart (it was a set that goes up to 20lbs on each dumbbell, I paid about $40 for it). The resistance bands are great for when you travel.

In addition to the above, I’ll also be using the following optional P90X fitness gear:

1. P90X Recovery Drink– This helps your muscles repair and rebuild after a workout. You should drink this within an hour of working out.
2. Whey Protein– You’ve got to have enough protein in your diet to build muscle and shred fat. It’s a great snack option to have when you need something quick and easy.
3. Yoga Mat- This makes the P90X ab exercises and the P90X yoga much more enjoyable (a hard wood floor or carpet rubbing against your skin doesn’t feel all that great).
4. Yoga Blocks (2)– I’m definitely a beginner at yoga, so these have really helped out. These help stabilize you and deepen your posture during difficult poses.
5. Heart Rate Monitor- This makes it really easy to see if you are in the zone, and to see how your fitness level is improving.
6. Push Up Bars– This helps alleviate stress on the wrist joints when doing pushups.

Where should you buy all of your P90X equipment?

The best place to buy P90X gear is straight from the source- Beachbody. You can buy everything you need from the Beachbody Store with the exception of dumbbells (as I mentioned earlier you can buy a set pretty cheap at Wal-Mart).

I bought the P90X Results package with has the following (I highly recommend this option since you save over $24)-

The post P90X Equipment- What do you need to do the P90X workout? first appeared on Trek2BeFit.com.

Now it’s time to start counting down the days until I officially start the P90X workout! The date that I have set on when I’ll start P90X is on Sunday, January 17th, 2009. It will be a tight fit to get the 1st workout in on that day, but I’ll make it work. I have Coast Guard that weekend (I’m in the Coast Guard Reserves) so I’ll be back home around noon on Sunday. Then in the evening, we will be having a Wine & Cheese (we’re so sophisticated :-)) at our home with some friends from church. I’ll have to definitely limit the wine & unhealthy snacks as much as possible so I can get off to a good start.

The only P90X gear that I still need are my yoga blocks for the P90X Yoga X workout. I ordered them a little bit late, but I’m expecting them to arrive before I get to that workout. I pretty sure that I have all of the other P90X equipment items that I’ll need.

Lastly, I’ll probably be doing the P90X Fit Test on Wednesday. I’ll make sure to post my results (even if they aren’t so great).

I’m ready to BRING IT! Are you?
