P90x Fitness Equipment and Nutrition

If you are thinking about doing or already doing the P90x Fitness Program, there are key pieces of equipment that you need to get the most out of your p90x experience. There are some equipment that are a must have, then there are other things that will help you along the way if you decided that is what you want to do. Remember, the P90x is a great program, but if not done properly you might not see the results you want to see, so it is important to follow the workouts, and the nutrition plan, plus get the equipment that will get you the ripped results. You also need to remember that there are p90x nutritional products out there that will help keep your body energized and healthy as you put yourself through these difficult workouts.

P90x is already comes with some tools that are going to help you right away, like the p90x calendar, the fitness guide, and the nutritional guide. You want to make sure you go over these books before you begin your p90x journey. The books will help you prepare your body and educate you on how to eat and what type of foods your body needs to turn that fat into muscle. Do not over look these important guides that p90x comes with, that is the first mistake people make and usually do not see the results they would like to see.

Must haves:

P90x Chin Up Bar - The P90x chin up bar is a must have!  P90x has its own uniquely designed pull up bar, and is one of the best chin up bars out there.  It holds a max of 300 lbs. and fits right into your doorway and can easily be taken down so it is not constantly in the way.  It has multiple grip handles, close, standard, and wide grips.  It fits into a 32 inch doorway that latches onto brackets above the door framing.

Dumbbells/ P90x resistance bands - There are no specific p90x dumbbells, but if you have some dumbbells handy they work great!  P90x does have some resistance bands that work just as good as dumbbells, plus they are easier to store and travel with.  There is also a wide variety of resistance lbs. So no matter who you are, you can find resistance bands that will help you get ripped.  If you get the upgrade kit with the resistance bands, you can actually use them as a replacement for the chin up bar.  But I still recommend using the chin up bar for chin ups.

Other equipment that you might want to get:

Push up Stands- In your p90x workouts you will notice that you do a lot of push ups, if you have bad wrists or want to get a deeper push up, than you might want to think about getting yourself some p90x push up stands.

P90x Protein Bars- These are some great tasting bars that are packed with protein and other nutritional valuables. There are three different types of bars, Berry, Mocha, and Chocolate Peanut Butter.  There 18 grams of protein in each bar and they come in 12 packs.
