P90X Workout Equipment - What Do You Really Need to Do the P90X Workout?

!±8± P90X Workout Equipment - What Do You Really Need to Do the P90X Workout?

What is the required P90X workout equipment? Here's a little background information.

Tony Horton, the creator of the Beach Body P90X workout program has put together 12 different workouts that can be easily performed in your home with only a few pieces of equipment. No need for an expensive Bowflex, Total Gym, or Bio Force TNT that costs thousands of dollars. The P90X can help you achieve your fitness or bodybuilding goals.

These 12 videos take you through a 12 week or 90 day program to get a lean and ripped body. Believe it or not, it does work!

All you need to get a great workout is some P90X workout equipment.

Here is what you will need:

* A set of good quality resistance bands

* Chin up bar

* Push up stands or a perfect push-up

In place of the resistance bands, you can purchase a set of dumbbells. Unfortunately, you will have to buy multiple sets unless you want to be changing plates. You can purchase the Bowflex Select Tech Dumbbells, but they are not cheap!

The Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells for example offers resistance from 5 pounds to 52.5 pounds, and they will run you 9. On the other hand, a set of Bodylastics Terrel Owens resistance bands offer 5 pounds to 249 pounds of resistance. For less than 0 and it has a lifetime defects warranty.

I personally prefer resistance bands, not only because of the lower price, but because they are portable, adaptable and more versatile than the set of dumbbells. If you're looking for a good set of resistance bands. I would recommend either the Bodylastics Home Gym or The Golds Gym Resistance Bands. Of the two the Bodylastics offers more options.

In regards to a chin up bar. There are some options here, if you're looking for low-cost. You can use the resistance bands to do pull downs, instead of doing chin-ups or pull ups. Or you can purchase a simple doorway chin up bar for around , and it will work just as well as the P90X chin-ups bar.

When it comes to push-ups do you really need push up stands or a perfect push-up? The answer is both yes and no. Both of these items will reduce the strain on your wrists and allow you to go deeper in your push-ups on the other hand, you can do push-ups between two chairs and get the same results. Whatever you decide push up stands or perfect push-up, they're both inexpensive at around for either set.

That's pretty much the "required" P90X workout equipment, you can also consider a floor mat for doing some of the ab exercises, but it is not essential.

Bodylastics - How to Choose the Right System For Your Bodylastics Workout

!±8± Bodylastics - How to Choose the Right System For Your Bodylastics Workout

In order to choose the right Bodylastics system for your workouts you need to know about what they offer you. Many articles written about Bodylastic are not current or up-to-date. They only talk about the two systems that they used to offer.

Today, Bodylastics offers a third system called the Bodylastics Terrell Owens strong man edition resistance bands.

A Brief Bodylastics History

Bodylastics were designed by Blake Kassel back in 1996. He too was looking for and a home gym but was discouraged with the high cost of the ones available then. It seems not much changes since most home gyms like Bowflex, Total Gym, Bio Force TNT and even Soloflex will cost you several hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

But the Bodylastic system you can get a complete body workout. That means you can exercise your upper and lower body, whether you're a man or woman this home gym will get you the results you want. All you need to do is set aside a few minutes 3 or 4 times a week to get in a body shaping workout.

The Bodylastic system doesn't need much room, unlike many home gyms. This article I will discuss two of the Bodylastic system. The first one is...

Beginners -- Basic Set

Bodylastics system used to come with two sets. Today, there is a third set that I refer to as the advanced home gym. They are the -- Bodylastics Terrell Owens Strong Man Edition Resistance Bands but, more about the T0 bands later.

If you are just beginning exercising or have a very casual attitude towards exercise in general then I would suggest that you start out with the Bodylastics Basic Resistance Set. It offers you 15 combinations. With this system you receive 4 exercise bands, 2 ankle straps, door anchor, 2 foam handles, 2 ankle straps for leg exercises and a user's manual which is really a book.

The bands are color coded so that you will know the different resistance levels and they can easily be stored or transported where ever you want in their own travel bag.

Intermediate -- Max Resistance Set

If you have been working out or exercising for a while and are familiar with resistance training, then perhaps the Bodylastic Max resistance system will be perfect for you. The system includes everything that comes in the basic set but adds in a black resistance band that has a resistance level of almost 25 pounds.

The difference between the basic and the Max resistance that is essentially this one band.

With all the Bodylastics systems you get access to their online video training program called... Strength University. There you will find video tutorials that will explain the proper procedure to perform each of the many exercises.

Of all the resistance band systems on the market today, such as the Billy Blanks, B line resistance bands or even the P90X resistance bands -- in my opinion, Bodylastics bands are the best.
