Talking about the basics

OK everyone, so its been 4 weeks of P90x now and although 6 days a week is tough, I feel amazing. I have to admit my mentality is more along the lines of cross fit HIIT (high intensity interval training) but the super setting and intensity that p90x has put together makes for a great routine for those of you who like to workout daily. You know how the infomercials for p90x make it seem extreme? Well I have a few things to say about that: First that it is a intense workout but most importantly that anyone who wants to try the program can! It is literally based on progression after progression of Body weight, Bands and dumb bell exercises, but mostly body weight. I have broken the videos down and you perform 14 exercises for chest (predominately push ups), 15 exercises for back (mostly variations of pull ups and back flys), 34 exercises for legs which consist of squats and lunges, 12 exercises for the shoulders (mostly a combination of overhead presses), 10 exercises for triceps, and 14 exercises for biceps (both a combination of moves that are commonly seen in the gym). So my question is why the intimidation from everyone about how it is to much to start with? I think it comes from ignorance, people are speaking out of fear without knowing what p90x really intails. Well I hope that I can help, keep a eye out for weekly videos breaking down all the exercises in the videos so you can truly understand what this program is all about!!
