Re: P90X Workout

I have heard so many positive things about the P90X videos! I have heard they are really effective and challenging. Unfortunately, I have only received this feedback from my adult colleagues. I do not know how well students would respond to these videos because they are VERY challenging. I fear that the program would intimidate some students and discourage them from participating in physical activity. I liked the idea of using the videos as a tool for a fitness club, but might be apprehensive about using it in a class.

Re: P90X Workout

Kimberly,
I agree that the P90x is difficult but if you just break it down and use parts of it for a lesson it is not so bad. It is challenging but everyone gets a workout because they can work at their own level. Many of the students liked the challenge. Insanity work out is good also but done in parts. It is a fun change and fun to see just how fit your students are.

Re: P90X Workout

I have seen our current PE teacher use insanity and other lower impact videos to keep the students engaged and challenged. The only thing I noticed was that many students did not look forward to doing it again day after day so you might want to only do it every now and then. They sound like me the first time I did P90X. I was glad I did it but didn't look forward to doing it again.
