P90x Workout What It’s All About

Posted by admin On May - 6 - 2009

What Is P90x
P90x is a hardcore home workout, that is going get your in shape and pretty darn buff in 90 days.  The workout uses; body weight, bands, weights and a pull up bar to get it done at home.  It is optional if you want the pull up bar and weights, but I would use if you want to bring your fitness to the next level.

The workout has 3 phases to it each lasting a month.  You will get several videos with the workout and rotate them each week.  This is to shock you body and give it new things to do each day.  Each video is significant and important in its own way, if you following them all you should see some drastic results.

P90x Videos
The videos vary in length, but you will always have a nice warm up and cool down.  So even when a video looks a bit long, keep in mind the warm up can sometimes last 8 minutes and the cool down is usually around 4 minutes.

P90x Support
If you do a You Tube or Blog search, you will see that p90x and Tony Horton the instructor of the videos has quite a following.  There are many support forums and stories out there for people that wanting to learn more about the program.  You will be sore after doing these videos the first few times and reading about other peoples pains and struggles will for sure help you through it.

P90x Side Effects
By the end of the program, you will be quoting Tony Horton, using phrases like “bring it” and “I hate it, but I love it” until you drive yourself crazy and so no more!  Tony is a good instructor and keeps the videos moving along at a reasonable pace.  At first you will think it is to fast, but towards your second month, you will wish that he didn’t talk so much and just got to working out.  Either way he has a likable personality and makes the videos bearable.

Why Try P90x
P90x is good for people who want to switch up there workout routine, like working out at home, want to turn off there brain and just workout.  If you have 3 uninterrupted months you can dedicate to the videos you may find dramatic results.  The videos are a good way to stay in shape and take all the thinking about what kind of workout you should do each day out of your mind.  You will know what to do and when to do it, it as simple as pushing play.

There are 3 different ways you can mix up the videos:

Classic Version-This is the most common one too start with, you will gain muscle and loose fat.

Doubles Version-This is for the hardcore and only if you finished the Classic version, you will be hitting up 2 videos a day!

Lean Version-This is version is the one that some females like to start with, because it will take off a layer of fat and build some muscle, from this version you can then go up to the classic version.
