Although P90X does not require any complicated workout equipment for the DVDs, it does require some P90X equipment to get started with the workouts. Here is the P90X equipment that you will need for the workouts.
Dumbbells or P90X Resistance Bands
You may already have a pair of dumbbells at home or even resistance bands from other workouts. If you do need dumbbells you can visit your local sporting goods store and get a couple different sets in different weights. If you don't have resistance bands, Beachbody also offers bands that go along with the P90X program. The good thing about resistance bands is that they do not take up much space and you can even take them on trips as they are very compact to pack. They also offer a great workout as you are working against your own body weight to develop muscle.
P90X Chin Up Bar
There is a chin up bar from P90x that simply attached in doorways. It takes no lengthy installation. If you don't want to buy the P90x chin up bar, then you can also make your own from the ceiling of your basement or make a bar that attached in the doorway as well. There are several times in the program that you are going to need to the chin up so it is not an optional piece of P90x equipment unless you want to sit out the back, chest, and arm exercises during the workouts.
Yoga Mat and Yoga Block
A yoga mat comes in handy with the P90x yoga workout but also with the stretching workout as well. A yoga block may come in handy for anybody who is not as flexible as others. With a yoga block you can still perform exercises that you may have had bad form before because you were not flexible enough. A yoga block is basically a small piece of foam support in it.
Space
Although space is really not a piece of P90X equipment it is needed if you are going to follow the workout system. There is no way that you are going to be the Plyometrics video without a lot of space. In this video, there is tons of big moves along with all types of jumping. Each video in the P90x system takes quite a bit of space to properly workout. This may involve moving around furniture or finding a new place to do your workouts out at.
The P90X workout program does not involve any of the latest gadgets to lose weight. Instead it only takes a few key equipment pieces that are rather inexpensive. None of the latest technology pieces are required to get started moving. The P90X workout simply uses hard work and dedication to help people lose weight for good and reshape with bodies.
