someone mentioned they turned their bodyfat to muscle with P90X. Not happening, you may have reduced bodyfat, and gained muscle, but the are two different tissues, one cannot turn into the other.
I have been working out to videos since 1996, because my daughter was sick a lot and going to the gym was not an good option. At first I too thought videos....ugh. But then I found advanced videos, that kick my behind, and now I like the fact I can get up and work out whenever, without traveling to a gym. It is like having my own personal trainer telling me what to do at 5am, when I don't necessarily want to think.
I have not done P90X, but know many who have and love, love, love it. I personally do not care for Tony Horton's style, so would not buy it. I have done other 3 month series that are comparable, and they are fantastic. To have someone lay out a plan for you, well you would pay a personal trainer the equal amount.
As for the constant soreness, I find splits tend to do this to me. When you work a body part to the max, it makes it sore. Then the next day, you work a different body part, and it gets sore. It is like the soreness revolves around the body and never stops. I find modifying the time frames of this type of program helps me. It keeps the soreness down, and also allows me to add in things like, well, swimming, without out getting over fatigued.
