Classic would be the approach you would be best off with if you want to add mass. Doubles is actually more for those who would like to either improve performance (cardiovascular wise) or for those who want to lose more weight. You can always do other activities along side of P90X, but I can't really say what your results will be. -Mike Hello Jay,

If weight loss is you main goal, go with the lean approach. Extra cardio is often added to the P90X workouts. Add it where you feel you have the extra energy to do more. -Mike Hi Alicia,

I would love to loose the weight within 3 months. For me to achieve my goals, would you recommend doing the classic or lean version of P90X? Also I own an elliptical, and would like to incorporate it in my routine instead of the day of stretch. What do you think? I am 29 years old and would like to loose 16 lbs.

I'm 17, weigh in at 126-130, but am a fit individual, and I lift weights at my school for an hour and a half a day, aswell as go for runs, and am interested in getting into Muay Thai Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I haven't been taking any supplements, but my goal is to gain a moderate amount of muscle mass. I want to bring my weight up to at least 140-145, and I was just curious as to if the P90X Classic would be able to do that for me. And if I decided to do P90X Doubles, what the different results might be. And what your thoughts were as to me doing weight training/martial arts aswell as the P90X program. Thanks for your time, Jay. Hey Mike and other various staff members.

If you can't get fat free or at least low fat (1 or 2%) dairy, work with what you have! Not everyone's diet is going to be absolutely perfect, and two servings of full fat dairy isn't going to completely ruin your results. -Mike Hello Kathy,

After about 30 days I will be having surgery, with 3 weeks of rest. Can I join him when my rest period is up? He will obviously be pushing harder than me. Also about nutrition. Fat free dairy products are nearly impossible to find where I live. What should we do? My husb and I are starting this together. After about 30 days I will be having surgery, with 3 weeks of rest.

This way your body is always ready to go. Extra cardio would be great to add to your resistance days. Preferably around the same time each day, but do the best you can with your busy schedule. -Mike Hello Nick,

You will still tone muscle, but there is much less resistance training involved with this approach. After phase 3, the goal is to be slimmer. -Mike Hi Cole,

Unfortunetly, as a student with a full time job my workout schedule varies from day to day. Some days I don't workout till 11:00pm. Should I wake up extra early to get my workout in at the same time every day. Also, I would like to start running again. When should I supplemet my workouts with running; every day/every other day/not at all? Thanks I just finished week 1 of p90x classic.

Stick with classic if you want to add mass. You probably should keep the rest/stretch day as is, but you can always add cardio X to a resistance day like in the doubles approach. -Mike I should have read all of your posts first!!!
