INFO: P90X Gear: What, Why and Where

I was asked by a friend on twitter to make a video of the equipment I'm using and why I chose the items and where to get them. You can follow me on Twitter and I'll follow you as well. http://www.twitter.com/abetterme

man you really went all out

[AbetterMeP90X]

I agree, however as I see it. I've spent more on stuff that contributed to me getting unhealthy. Xbox 360, video games, junk food, etc, etc, etc. So why not spend a fraction of that on getting healthy.

those dumbbells are so much money

[AbetterMeP90X]

I agree they are expensive but I needed something compact and most of all mobile. I couldn't find any other option. There are some similar select the weight type of dumbbells but they didn't have mobile stands.

Nice idea...I'm a big dude myself and I use a pull-up band for assist --it works great

[AbetterMeP90X]

Great idea! Let me try it, I'll make a video of that and post it for all the others YouTubers

all your videos are very helpful, its awesome. thanks m8

[nykspree08]

you seem like a big dude with some power in terms of lifting, so did you need to use dumbell weights above 50-55 lbs for this program?

[kylesteinhauser]

I agree with everything except the perfect pushup. It sort of defeats some of the movements that Tony shows on the vids. It's really just me splitting hairs, though. I envy the selecttechs....I really want the 590s.

is there anything out there like your dumbels but MUCH cheaper???

[ladiezman247]

did a yoga mat come with the p90x

[sunnyahsan1]

Wow u sure did waste alot of money

[kennyroddick]

Thanks man! You have a great voice and way of explaining things. I definitely will have to forego the expensive weights but they would be nice. Thanks again for the video! ATL KL

Just remembered the name of the chin up bar was Iron Gym. I see it costs a little more now. But regardless these are tips that saved me a few bucks in the end. Times are rough and I hope these pointers help save someone some dough.

As for resistance bands, I also got myself a set after getting curious about how they would differ from the dumb bells. They are better at a select number of exercises, but not as good as the dumb bells overall imo. If you do want a good set at a cheaper price, get on Amazon. I got a set by Bodylastics (Max Tension Set) for $60 shipped and they are good so far.

The P90X chinup bar was copied by a few different off brands. I remember getting mine for about $24 shipped and it came with a free extra. I don't remember the brand, but the quality was very close to my friends official chin up bar. Search around on google and see what alternatives you can find.

For those of you curious about the bowflex dumb bells, my local sports authority had them on sale for $299 + the weight stand for Free. I also signed up for their cred card which was no interests for 6 months I think, and got an additional 20% off (cancelled the card after paying off). It's a great deal with added health benefits for you!
