DONNA - question about P90X

[Guest guest]

Hi Donna, you said anyone can do this program so

even someone that is basically an intermediate like me

can do it?

Can you buy the workouts separately? I don't

want the pylo as I have bad knees, the only pylo I do

is on the volleyball court! LOL

How do you sub a band for pull-ups?

Curious,

Jen

AHHH - you are enabling me! Now with P90X+ soon to be released...I fear my weakness. I'll keep reminding myself that the original set is too expensive and I will never buy the gadgets used...I might be okay,

might be okayVennitta
