Is it a good product for crossfit type workout? I'm doing P90X and mainly need it for Plyometrics and leg workout.

Yes it is. I use it during my crossfit workouts. This product provides adequate support without hindering mobility allowing for a full range of motion. The proper size should provide a tight fit.

It should be fine . I sweat alot when i had mine on it would slide sometimes for the majority it stayed in place

It's good for overall added support, in no way is my movement compromised; I can still obtain my full range of motion and it doesn't move at all if you get the right size. Really helps my lifts and it's definitely help me gain strength

Its should do the job I squat 150 & trying to keep as low as possible was a common struggle . Now with this knee support keeping low isn't one of my problem areas any longer.

Nah, it's meant for people of all levels. Just stick with it and take breaks if you need to. I mix it up with p90x and p90x3. Don't ever get discouraged or think you cannot do it.

I am not familiar with the mat from P90X but the Hemingweigh xtra thick is a very good quality and comfortable mat for the price. I work in a fitness gym and I have not seen a better mat than the Hemingweigh in that price range.

Here is the review that I wrote after buying this product... After I do a set, of different exercises, I use these bands as a superset to really fatigue the muscle group that I'm working that day. I have used a lot of different bands, but none has ever worked as well as these. I'm buying another set, so I can alternate sides during a set. GREAT PRODUCT!!! AND great service from AMAZON.COM Now, to answer your question... I haven't used them for leg presses, but they are definitely strong enough; you may have to wrap them around, to make them shorter. You can either sit down and wrap them under your feet and press, or lie on your back, and press up. Just make sure that when you bring your knees toward your chest, the bands are short enough to still have some resistance. I think they will work fine for leg presses; hope this helps.

I have the fluidity barre and use it with my physique57 dvd's but I have also used the dvdks without the barre and had good results. I just started doing the monthly challenge and I'm already seeing results.

It's worth the money. Especially since my work really imburses $100 for home equipment. As a medium sized middle age woman it's perfect for my workouts. A strong man may need something more robust.

I am not certified in fitness training, but I can say I've used a toner like this for years. I had my original device for 15 years before the tension mechanism snapped. It was a different brand and it was designed to be able to use the device for the legs as well. I couldn't find a replacement for the one I had, but this one definitely works for the upper body. My husband is not toned, he's 65 and has had surgery for spinal stenosis. The stenosis has caused irreversible nerve damage in his arms and legs. He has difficulty using the UB Toner because he no longer has the strength that the average man. If your husband is of average strength, this toner will definitely help him. If he's above average in strength and looking to bulk up, this device will help his upper body, but won't achieve the same results that a woman will get, mainly because your husband may need a heavier degree of tension. The tension on this type of device is not adjustable. Just as an example, if you were working your biceps or triceps, as a woman you might use 5-lb weights, whereas a man might use 10-15 lb weights. In summary, both my husband and I use this device. I am at a higher fitness level than he is and it challenges me and provides great results. My husband struggles with meeting the required amount of repetitions, but it is very beneficial to us both for a low impact toning device. I hope this helps!

It's worth the cost if you actually use it everyday and commit to stretching. I made progress then became less committed and started back again. I have a friend that uses it daily and he is extremely flexible. He was already more flexible than me, but he pushes himself and actually does use it.

As others mention here it is not as intense or targeting toward jump-training and interval training as Insanity is. There is the Plyometrics disc which is jump-training but even it is less intense.Think of P90X as a more full whole-body workout than Insanity.You can check out my review of P90X, P90X2, P90X3, Insanity, and T25 on my blog here - http://randombitsbytes.com/p90x-vs-insanity-vs-p90x2-vs-t25-vs-p90x3/

Yes, I am a 38 year old woman who has been doing Beast Body and it has enhanced my weightlifting results from P90X. P90X worked well for me. However, the Beast really improved my arms and shoulders. Although I have to say that the leg workouts will leave you sore, but they did not seem to enhance my leg results. I reviewed the DVDs and you are welcome to read my review about what exercises are done. I like to rotate the weightlifting DVDs from Beast Body with those from P90X.

I haven't done insanity before but by looking at it this will be light stuff and probably not as challenging. Have you tried P90X if you are looking for a challenge?

I would say I'm in decent shape and can use it pretty effectively. If you prefer quick short steps, you will stay at the top of the stepper, for longer (I think harder) steps, let yourself down a little farther each time by moving more slowly. I wouldn't call it gym quality, but I get a good workout especially for endurance if I do over 20 minutes at a time.

It's a great workout. Depends on your goals. I'm 6'4 215, and mix this in with weight training. You can increase the intensity or number of rounds to keep challenging.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

as far as a workout goes it is very good. but it does have pedals and if all you use it for is arms, it would be nice to modify it yourself with some handle grips instead. My mom use it for her arms as well as legs, its more comfortable for the legs though.

Kelly, do you work for beachbody or something? These workouts are insane! You didn't even break a sweat?? I just finished Chalean Extreme, a 12 week program training with heavy weights along with some plyometrics, kickboxing, etc. It's a great workout, but that was easy compared to this. I'm no athlete, but I'm in pretty good shape. I totally disagree. BBL is NOT good for a beginner. I sweat bullets when I do this and I'm not a big sweater! Good luck Kat.
