P90X Review

P90X is a 3 month exercise and nutrition system developed by professional trainer Tony Horton, in conjunction with the well-respected fitness company, Beachbody (if you watched TV at all over past few months, you've probably seen the infomercial). The intense 13-week program combines cardio, strength training and stretching via cross-disciplinary techniques such as plyometrics (jump training), kenpo (a type of karate) and yoga. Its secret lies in the principle of muscle confusion, a generally under-utilized method of intense interval training that never allows your results to plateau.

12 Intense Exercise Videos

Strategically divided into 12 videos, each diverse workout session targets either a specific part of the body or a "muscle confusion" tactic... in an exact sequence with a specific set of breakthrough exercises and techniques. That is, with other programs you may have covered one part of a P90X session (that may be their entire system), but P90X allows you to quickly and naturally transform your physique thanks to the cumulative effect of each workout to the previous.

Schedule-wise, on most weeks, days 1, 3 & 5 target muscle and strength building of your biceps, triceps, back, shoulders and legs. After intense muscular conditioning, each session is typically capped with a thorough ab session lasting ~20 min. Days 2, 4 & 6, maximize your body's response and recovery type through carefully-planned cardio exercises such as plyometrics, yoga and kenpo... setting the foundation for peak and sustainable results throughout the entire 90 days.

Check out the following P90X transformation shots sent in to us - unlike the disclaimers you find with most products, these results are very typical, with P90X being equally effective for both men AND women:

J.F., NY @ 93 days

Bottom Line

In the end, this system isn't for everyone (it definitely lives up to its "eXtreme" name), but if you're willing to put in the work and dedicate yourself for 3 full months to get in the best shape of your life, you can't do better than P90X.
Highly Recommended.
