I have one more question. When doing a second round of doubles, do I start back on phase 1 with no cardio or just keep repeating phase 3? Thanks for the help. I have one more question.

The extra cardio added to this approach is for those who would like to either improve performance or increase weight loss. I am afraid if you switch to lean, you will be taking a step backwards. Lean is a little less intense than Classic, and much less demanding than Doubles. -Mike Hello Adam,

Iv gone from 41% body fat to 27% so far. If my new goal at this point is weight loss, should I switch to the Lean routine or continue with doubles?

Otherwise, you will be able to work all areas of the body, get one cardio day in, and one yoga day. Maybe if you find you have time friday, saturday, or sunday, you can throw in Kenpo! As far as the recovery week, here is a suggestion: Monday: Yoga X Tuesday: Core Synergistics Wednesday: Kenpo X Thursday: You could actually do Core Synergistics or Yoga X on this day. I would probably go with Core. I hope this helps! Mike Hi Maylene,

if you have to compress the P90X down to 4 days per week, here’s what I would do:

Monday: Chest & Back, Ab Ripper X

Tuesday: Plyometrics

Wednesday: Shoulders & Arm, Ab Ripper X

Thursday: Yoga X

This way the only thing you will be sacrificing is the resistance for the legs, but Plyo will definitely work you legs a great deal. Otherwise, you will be able to work all areas of the body, get one cardio day in, and one yoga day. Maybe if you find you have time friday, saturday, or sunday, you can throw in Kenpo!

As far as the recovery week, here is a suggestion:

Monday: Yoga X

Tuesday: Core Synergistics

Wednesday: Kenpo X

Thursday: You could actually do Core Synergistics or Yoga X on this day. I would probably go with Core.

I hope this helps!

Take the fitness test to see if you are ready for the P90X. You don't necessarily need to be able to do chin-ups to start the program. You will, however, need either the bands and a upgrade kit or the chin-up bar. fit test: http://www.beachbody.com/text/products/programs/p90x/p90xFitTest.pdf -Mike Hey Mike.

I know it is the best way to get the results. I am already fit. I just want to work out at my house because is more comfortable. Anyways I only can work out Monday to Thursday. Any suggestions? And please don’t tell me that I should stick to the program, unfortunately that is not an option for me right now. I just need and idea of what I should be doing with these 4 days so that I can benefit somehow with what I can do. And with the recovery week. Thanks...

It might seem that way on paper, but it's not a "rest" week. Core Synergistics is a tough workout and you have to do it twice! You also have to do Yoga X twice which is no walk in the park. I guess you can say this week you will take it easy in a way because you do have two stretch days instead of one. I wouldn't skip it! You need that break from the resistance training. -Mike Hi Jack.

That core synergistics is not easy. Try your best on those days. They don't come around much, just on recovery weeks. BUT, if you want to do another workout on those days, that would be fine too. -Mike I hear ya Christina! That core synergistics is not easy. Try your best on those days.

I was sore after week 1 but now I feel a lot better. Will it hurt to skip over week 4? It seems like kind of a vacation week and I'm thinking about either doing an extra week of phase 1 or getting right into the exercises in week 5 (I'll still do all 90 days, I just want to get more out of the program as fast as I can and week 4 seems "light") I’ve finished week 3 and feeling good.

I am just finding that I have to skip a lot of the excercises as they are too difficult. I am able to keep up with all of the other videos. I feel i don't get a proper workout due to skipping some of the excercises...thanks! Loving the program, wondering if there is a substitute for core synergistics.
