Download P90x Workout for Free!

I have a friend that is trying out the P90x program, but he doesn't have the videos. He has somehow picked up the text version of the program and is reading that as a guide through the program. If you want to save $130, this is the way to do it, but I don't think it is worth it.

Here are some of the reasons for purchasing a program:

Timing of exercises
One of the reasons why this program is so good, is because it's fast paced. You don't have to watch the stopwatch to know how long to work out and how long to rest... it is done for you. I barely have enough time to record what I did and get ready for the next exercise - I can't imagine having to read it!

Complexity of moves
Some of these workouts are not for those who lack in coordination... like myself. It takes a few times watching and trying to look somewhat like the demos, and we are still trying to master them. Yoga and Kenpo especially are difficult to follow and master; I couldn't imagine trying to figure out those moves from written text.

Investment helps commitment
What do you think is easier: quitting a program you didn't pay for or one you did pay for? The more you invest in something (time and money), the hard it is to ditch it. Do you remember when your mom put you in piano lessons and you said you were going to quit? She made you finish because she had already paid didn't she? No one likes to waste money. You will be more likely to see the program to the end if you make a financial investment. If you take the time to study the program and see the testimonials from others, chances of program completion increase even more.

Ease conscious
I don't know where my friend got the text version of the program, it may very well be legit. I do know there are pirated copies of this program out there that are readily downloaded. So let me ask this, if you do get a pirate version and have great results, who are you going to tell? What if they ask you where you got your program? I may be a bit anal about this since I work in the software industry, but I don't think $130 is worth the cost to someone's integrity.

Make the investment!
So decide to do the program and make the investment; go pickup bottles/cans and cash them in - the exercise you do in the process may even help you get ready for the program!
