Are You Ready to Bring It? The P90X Fitness Test

Written by: Elizabeth Renter

P90X is an extreme fitness program. During your P90X adventure you will push your body in ways it’s never been pushed before. Because it is such a serious workout you want to be certain your body will be able to handle it. The P90X fitness test is a gauge to measure your readiness. You may be tempted to skip the test and jump right in, don’t! It is vital that you begin the program confident that you are ready.

 

The last thing you want to do is be discouraged by P90X. Although every workout should be a challenge no matter your fitness level, we want you to succeed. The P90X fitness test will help you determine if you are ready for something like P90X. If you began the P90X program without being prepared, you would be discouraged by your inability to complete many of the exercises and you also could injure yourself.

 

The P90X fitness test gauges your fitness level and readiness for P90X through a fairly short series of measurements and moves. From your resting heart rate to body fat composition, these measurements are great indicators of your overall health. Your resting heart rate is a great measurement for evaluating your cardiovascular health. Some of the workouts in P90X will push your heart and lungs to their limit and you want to be certain that you can handle it.

 

Basic exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, and squats will measure your muscle aptitude and ensure you won’t push yourself to injury during the extreme P90X workouts. The last thing you want is to injure yourself during the first few weeks of P90X. It will take you out of commission and you won’t be doing any exercises. The P90X fitness test and its results will help ensure you avoid injury.

 

So what if the P90X fitness test indicates I am not ready for P90X?

 

If your body is not ready for P90X just yet, not all hope is lost. You just have to get it ready! Don’t put that P90X box too far away, it won’t be long before you are ready to rock with the P90X system and you will appreciate being ready for it when you start. The P90X fitness test will be waiting for the prepared you to test again and pass with flying colors.

 

To prepare yourself for P90X, try the original Power 90 or even Slim In 6. Either of these systems will get you ready and also begin your body transformation, giving you both cardiovascular and strength benefits while burning fat and beginning the process of changing your body into a lean P90X machine. When you have completed either of these systems, take the P90X fitness test again and no doubt, you will be ready to go!

    Staff

    Hello Frank.

    Yes, you can do the P90X workouts at the gym. Well, most of them. It might be hard to concentrate on Yoga! Just be sure to be familiar with the workouts and take your fitness guide and workout sheets with you.

    I have been doing the power 90 program on and off for about 5 months and have noticed some results but nothing huge. It is hard to stick with the program cause it gets real boring but i do cause i wanna get in better shape. Im 5ft 11in 220 ponnds. I am pretty muscular but have a layer of flab mainly in my midsection. I really do not want to bulk up more i would like to tone up and loose about 20 pounds, i have been wanting to do p90x for a while but not sure if its right for me. Can anyone give some advice ?

    Staff

    Hi Gabe,

    P90X might just be the program you need. You do something different every day, and your weekly schedule changes too. You wont get bulky unless you want to. You can set your own reps and weights, allowing you to set your own goals. There is also the lean approach that gives you more cardio and less resistance if you want to focus on weight loss. There are a ton of options that come with P90X. Even with the diet! It is a 90 day program, and if you really want it to work for you, it’s important to stick with it every day and follow the diet. If you do that, those 20 pounds will certainly come off. Maybe more if you work harder!

    Specialists say that loan aid a lot of people to live the way they want, just because they can feel free to buy needed stuff. Moreover, banks give consolidation loan for different persons.
