Equipment Options

If you want to complete the P90X program, you will need equipment. There are a couple of options that you have in order to get this equipment. The gym is an excellent source if you don’t want to spend too much money however it will be quite complicated to watch the videos at the gym. Another thing you can do is buy the very expensive equipment, such as dumbbells. The final option that I chose was Amazon.com. 

The gym can provide you with all the necessary equipment you need. They will give you dumbbells, mats, push up bars, pull up bars and most of all, room to exercise. The only problem with this is you cannot watch the videos unless you bring a computer or some kind of DVD player. Also, there will be other people so it might be distracting. If you choose to go with this option I recommend buying a membership to that club because you will be visiting it for the next 90 days or more. 

Next, you can buy the really expensive equipment that will last you forever. You will be able to do the program at home unless you do not have space to do it. This option I personally think is the worst because in total with the DVD’s you could spend more than 500 dollars on your equipment. If you have the money this is the nicest option because the equipment will really be worth its money.

The option I recommend for everyone is Amazon.com. It is a website that offers the best deals on EVERYTHING. On amazon you could get equipment that would cost a lot of money but you would save so much money. Dumbbells are a big part of the program but there is another cheaper option, resistance bands. They work the same as dumbbells and are much less expensive. You can also get push up and pull up bars for a small price that you can install on any door in your home. If you feel that there may be something better at a store and you want to get the feel for something, check it out before, although Amazon’s return policy is wonderful. So, make sure you get on the internet and start shopping. Good Luck!
