Jillian Dumbells
About to start P90x advice would be appreciated?
Hello Everyone I just brought the P90x workout system and i am about the start next week.
The questions that i have is
1) Do i really need a recovery drink
2) Do i really need a pull up bar or can dumbells be the alternative
3) Do you guys think that P90x is better then Jillian’s 30 Day Shred
Thanks a lot
You can substitute chocolate milk for the beachbody recovery drink. Drink it within an hour of your workout – helps with muscle recovery.
Bands, not dumbbells, can be used as an alternative to a pullup bar. But, you have to have a place to loop the bands safely so there is no risk of them snapping back and hitting you. I bought a pullup bar at Target – it fits right in the door frame. I used to chair to assist with the pull-ups until I could do one on my own.
I started with Jillian’s 30 day shred – did it for like 60 days, got stronger but no weight loss. Lost 11 pounds my first round of P90X so YES, I think P90X is better.
