How I Made My Millions - P90X

I just started watching that show online last week.

I am on episode 5 right now. Amazing how most of these great companies start from a simple idea in the founder's homes.

Not only a great story, but an unbelievable product. One of the best training programs I have ever been through.

Awesome! Will be watching this show more now

Thanks for letting us know about the show too. I love the fact that these networks are streaming their shows on their sites. It makes it so much more convenient.

Interesting, marketers rule...they make things happen.

I have to find this show. It sounds pretty interesting and can give my some extra kick to actively move with my projects.

This just once again goes to show that if the product is quality, it is SURE to sell!

Oooo! Don't you just wish you were the guy who thought up that fantastic idea? Sigh... I actually used to write some articles for a Team Beach Body affiliate who was promoting all of these programs. What a great concept. From the little I've seen, I am not surprised they're doing so well.

I'm going to be starting P90X in about 3 months (once my fitness and strength has increased to super human levels!), so listen for my screams of pain!

Everyday Edisons
American Inventors
Shark Tank
are all good shows too.

Just push play!

My sister uses P90X and she loves it. I've been thinking of buying her an elliptical for her birthday, but she uses P90X like a champ. Still might get the elliptical for her tho.

I love P90x, and I am actually currently doing Insanity which is another workout by the same company. I would almost say Insanity is tougher though. They call it that for a reason

Great link. Thank you.

You think Insanity is tougher? I was holding off on P90X because I thought it would be!

Do you think it is because there's a lot more cardio in Insanity?

Sorry, I'm taking this way off topic here (kind of), so I do apologise!

While some swear by it, the better trainers know that it's just marketing hype. Funny to see IM'ers being affected by such, because they don't know any better or don't study it. This is what we hope happens with some of our affiliate products from what i see!

The truth is that if you did jumping jacks, pushups, basic crunches, jump rope, whatever, for about 45 minutes a day, you will get the exact same results. It's just circuit training, with alot of stupid and non practical nonsense thrown in to keep boredom from setting in, as it should. Balance on this ball and do a pushup while leaning on this ball. You're creating a negative calorie balance which burns fat which shows more muscle. Exercise isn't the fat burner, the caloric deficit is. If you don't succeed it's because you didn't work out long or hard enough. Meanwhile one could be setting up a proper dietary approach(much harder to sell) which is safer, more efficient, and less stressful for the body, all while not having to workout like a banshee. Working out with the intensity of a football practice is usually not sustainable for most people. So then what do they do when they get tired or slowly start to back off from working out like a football player multiple times a week? Same thing for insanity, etc. From a marketing/product point of view, it's great. People want to be led and told how to sweat, whether they are learning the reasons why or not. My thing is learn how to eat and learn how the body is intended to move with proper form if you're going to do a gazillion repetitions of a movement and thus creating a habit. Meanwhile I'll be working out half as much as you while burning twice as much fat. So yea, buy it. Everyone else does!

What Tony and his team did, is really add extra value to the fitness video market.

Previously you had one off aerobic videos which you watched over and over again. P90x took that concept and added something interesting:

They took the personal trainer out the gym, and added him to everyone's homes.

I've been a personal trainer myself and having done P90x I would say it has massive downfalls, HOWEVER, no one can argue that they perhaps single handedly took the concept of a long term trainer into people's homes.

As a side benefit of all this, they strengthened the personal trainer industry too, as more people began to realize the advantage of a trainer.

What was once only available to the richer people (personal training) became available to everyone.... that is the true genius of p90x marketing.

Of course Tony helps make it fun too, and because it's fun it works (but as mentioned anyone doing 1 hour of good exercise a day will see awesome results, p90x or not)

Amazing how a seed can grow into a big tree just by watering it. All it takes is dedication and a little bit of hard work.

Thanks for the link! I've been watching this on and off. It is great for a lot of us who are looking for constant inspiration and belief that we can in fact make a huge amount of money from very simple, reasonable ideas.

I remember seeing the ad for it when I was in California the other year... It's definitely inspirational.

Lol! I find it funny how there are still people from all over that are making fun of Tony as if he is just another wannabe fitness enthusiast. Little do they know, Tony is doing what he loves and is banking huge bucks in the process. The haters can bite the dust.

I like the part where Tony said.... it didn't happen until my 40's ... stay with your dream and passion.

Sweet! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the link.
I'll definitely give it a look,
as I have found the infomercial for the
product to be very effective.
And the before and after shots are amazing!

I loved 90Px , it was awesome I did it with my entire family and my friend. My friend was good at it but he never wanted to work out with me... But my family enjoyed it alot! it really beat us up, honestly but its so worth it! and I realized that it was marketed well when I bought it all haha
