The weight loss isn't going as well, though. I've lost a couple inches off my waist, but only about 4 pounds off the bathroom scale :( @AllieZirkle, Well, I'm definitely stronger and more flexible.

The women wear sports bras and short workout shorts and the guys are often topless. Also, Tony Horton on rare occasions uses mild language, but that's very rare, and is usually only da**. I'd rate it as PG, so it may not follow the guidelines you have for you own family. And as for family-friendly in the exercise sense? It's definitely extreme! None of us do all the exercises…yet. But throughout, Tony offers variations that are easier to do. It seems like it's a good fit for our own family, but it may not be a good fit for every family, that's for sure. .-= Joy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FiveJs/~3/eCEJt4T6Wio/" rel="nofollow">P90X and Positive Peer Pressure</a> =-. @Ginger, I wouldn't rate P90X as G-rated.

I've had a hard time finding a workout that (1) uses appropriate language (no need to cuss, we're just exercising!) and (2) dresses appropriately (we know you're skinny, great, but wear a little more clothing please!) I really wanted to do The Shred (Jillian from Biggest Loser) but her workouts failed on both counts. lol .-= Ginger´s last blog ..<a href="http://clarkchatter.blogspot.com/2010/05/meme-or-stream-of-consciousness.html" rel="nofollow">A Meme or a Stream of Consciousness</a> =-.

My husband did P90x last year and lost some weight. This year he has started running and really looks great (lowest weight in years). He ran a half marathon a few weeks ago and now he has inspired the rest of us. I've started running/walking with my boys and we're going to do a 5k at the end of June. It's fun doing it together as a family. Good for you! My husband did P90x last year and lost some weight. This year he has started running and really looks great (lowest weight in years).

I find it much easier as well. P90x is definitely a touch program but delivers amazing results. My cousin and his wife used it for a few months and look incredible! Good luck to you.

It is definitely extreme! I love that you are including your family in the workouts. My 5 year old would join us occasionally and ask if he would get big muscles like Tony! Just wait until you do Legs and Back. I couldn't walk properly for 3 days after that one :) .-= Stacy Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://delightinginthedays.com/my-vision-for-this-blog/" rel="nofollow">My vision for this blog…</a> =-.
