I'm surprised I haven't heard more about professional athletes doing this program. It's kinda funny a kicker improved his performance. lol.

New York, NY – October 6, 2008 – It’s no secret that a strong and healthy body comes from the right diet and fitness regimens. But how does someone find the right mix for extreme results? Philadelphia Eagles kicker David Akers recently shared his solution—the P90X home fitness system.
“It’s not some gimmick,” Akers said during an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer. “It [involves] actually working hard and changing the regimen all the time… Jumping, cardio aerobic, push-ups, pull-ups, jumping back and forth, it’s crazy. Yoga, stretch, Kenpo… it’s all kind of mixed into one.”
Akers first became aware of the P90X fitness program through an infomercial, where the system demonstrates how users can get ripped in just 90 days using P90X. The 33-year old NFL kicker is a testament to the program himself—losing 20 pounds and six percent of his body fat, while improving the leg strength vital to his career.
“It’s amazing to see that P90X is not only continuing to help everyday people, but starting to make its mark in professional sports,” says Nina Bertolino, President of Extreme Body Workout, the top volume coach / retailer of P90X. “Still, it’s important to note that users don’t have to be professional athletes to use the P90X workout system successfully. Everyone starts from a different fitness level, and because of that the program incorporates modifications for those either at a less advanced level or who need alternatives while traveling or due to space and other limitations at home—like our resistance band modified exercises in place of the P90X Chin-Up Bar. This also isn’t a program where people are going to starve themselves to lose weight. They’ll work hard, and our nutritional guide accounts for more food than most diets, because users need the added energy to maintain the workouts.”
