Celebrity Who Used P90X

Last year P90x was one of the hottest home fitness programs around. Turns out this program was quite popular amongst the fitness conscious Hollywood stars as well some pro athletes. P90x was utilized by the likes of Pink, Usher, Ashton Kutcher,Taylor Lautner and the New Moon cast as well as pro athletes such as champions Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens and Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics. I came across this article thru one of my contacts in the health and fitness industry and I thought it would be a great idea to share it with you. I used P90x myself and experience fantastic results. I continue to incorporate elements from P90x and Insanity to maintain my fitness level. While P90x is one of the more popular programs, Beachbody offers several other quality programs that I see where users are seeing significant results. Listed below is the article excerpt on celebrities who have used the P90x program.

P90X: Hottest Celebrity Workout Product of 2009

by NATE on JANUARY 1, 2010

in FITNESS NEWS, WORKOUT PRODUCTS

P90X was perhaps the most popular workoutprogram in 2009. Celebrities love the at-home workout system developed by trainer Tony Hortonthat operates on the principle of muscle confusion. The program comes with 12 DVDs and a diet plan to follow for 90 days.The program consists of three different phases to prevent plateauing. The program not only includes a variety of fat-burning and muscle-building exercises, but also includes plyometrics, kenpo, yoga, core training, and stretching. It will help burn fat, build muscle, and increase cardio fitness. P90X is the best-selling workout product out there and it is well worth the price. With this workout, you will definitely get you the celebrity results you’ve always wanted… That is, if you can stick with it.

Some celebrity P90x users:

Pink appears on the cover of Women’s Health and tells the mag: “Usually, I wake up and do an hour of cardio, then an hour of P90X or yoga, then a half-hour of warm-up [during show rehearsal]. I do that six days a week.” Did I mention she had just had a baby four weeks earlier?
Taylor Lautner and other New Moon cast members used P90X to get ready for theirs roles in the latest flick in the Twilight series.
Other known celebrity users include singer Sheryl Crow, 90210 star Jenny Garth, Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers, Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz, Without a Trace actress Poppy Montgomery, actress Demi Moore, her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, Usher, Ewan McGregor, Bryce Dallas Howard, Joey Fatone, and Jason Scheff.
Some athletes who use P90x include Emmitt Smith (former RB for the Dallas Cowboys), Ray Lewis (Baltimore Ravens), Donovan McNabb (QB Washington Redskins), Brian Westbrook (RB Philadelphia Eagles), Brett Favre (QB Minnesota Vikings), Kelly Slater (surfer), Barry Zito (pitcher, San Francisco Giants), Brian Wilson (pitcher, San Francisco Giants), Jo-Jo Reyes (pitcher, Atlanta Braves), Kenny Smith (former Guard for the Houston Rockets; TNT analyst), Ray Allen (Boston Celtics), and Baron Davis (Los Angeles Clippers).
Even Congressmen Paul Ryan (R – Wisconsin) and Health Schuler (D – North Carolina) have gotten in on the action.

If these P90X celebrities can make the time to workout with P90X, so can you!

P90X from the Perspective of People Like You and Me

Beachbody.com markets some of the best home fitness programs on the market today. I myself like P90x and Insanity simply because they incorporate old school exercises that we use to do in PE class in school. Some of those same exercises I still incorporate in my regular routines even prior to my knowledge of the P90x program or the other Beachbody products. I used P90X myself 2 years ago and got magnificent results. Now as I focus my career entirely on the fitness industry I wanted another challenge so now I am currently evaluating Shaun T's Insanity workout. I will provide my personal results at the end of 60 days.

I am sure some of you have seen the infomercials on TV for both P90X and Insanity. And they usually provide you with testimonials of users of the program. Well my goal in this post today is to provide you with some actual real everyday folks who posted their progression with P90X on Youtube. Listed here are some great transformations from the You Tube community check them out:

This one is my personal favorite because of the fact that she demonstrated some of the exercises and how she modified them which is OK because the main thing with all of these programs is that you may not be able to keep up with these fitness gurus in the beginning and you do not want to risk injury.
