Is P90X a Weight Loss Plan?
Yes and no. P90X is so much more than a way to lose weight. It can deliver you the body of your dreams, increasing muscle, decreasing fat, improving confidence, and elevating your attitude. If you think of weight loss as simply numbers on a scale then you may be surprised at what you get with the P90X weight loss plan.
When you are seeking to lose weight, what you really want to do is lose fat. Sometimes, if you are simultaneously gaining muscle, the numbers on the scale may not move as fast as you would like. Muscle does have weight so while you may be losing pounds of fat you might also be gaining pounds of muscle. The P90X weight loss plan is a fat loss, muscle gaining plan.
Measurements are crucial when it comes to tracking your progress with P90X. Using a tape measure to track your loss can be much more rewarding than the old scale. On weeks when the scale doesn’t budge, you will be amazed at what the tape measure says. A transformed body includes great muscle tone in addition to fat loss and that’s what the P90X weight loss plan delivers.
With P90X you will receive a tape measure in order to track this transformation. We also encourage people to purchase a body fat caliper so you can see just how your body composition is changing. With the P90X weight loss plan, as you gain muscle, the percentage of body fat you carry will consistently drop.
The P90X weight loss plan is about so much more than actual weight measured on the scale. It’s about creating the body of your dreams. It’s about looking and feeling like a true athlete and using your body to get in the best shape of your life.
P90X is unlike any other weight loss plan as it caters to your overall fitness and strength. One only needs to hear satisfied customers talk about their 90 day experience to get an idea of just how serious your results can be with the P90X weight loss plan.
This is such a well-written piece on P90X. P90X is not just about weight loss….
I first approached P90X with a lot of suspicion. I am a 40 year old female and previously had worked out in a gym. Prior to P90X, I was pretty thin and basically had no muscle tone and definition.
After trying out P90X, I started to notice I have beautiful eye-catching muscle tones on my arms, shoulders, abs and legs. Granted, I have put on a few pounds (probably around 5lbs), but I know I look so much better and healthier. However, This is not the only benefit I have gotten from P90X.
I am a CPA and keep a very busy work schedule. The daily stress, prior to P90X days, had contributed to my high blood pressure problem. After committing myself to P90X exercise routine (I find time in the morning), I notice I can start my day with a calmer mind set.
I am still on the thin side, and no, P90X does not make me look hugely bulky as I know some women are afraid of. I love the results I am getting and believe that P90X is the best exercise regimen offered in the market right now. I love the variety and the concept of stretching, flexibility, weight training, and cardio offered by P90X.
I hope that there will be more similiar programs offered by Beach Body like P90X in the near future.

Hi Meg,
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on your experience with P90X. You’ve touched upon several areas people are concerned about.
We hear from users all day long. Many times they say that they aren’t “loosing weight”, when in actuality they are! Now, the scale may not be saying so, but their body fat % is dropping and they just don’t know because they aren’t using a body fat tester. You have to take a step back and consider what “losing weight” really means to you. If you mean fat then you have to realize that the scale weighs anything on top of it—fat AND muscle!
