P90X Approaches: Doubles Approach

Doubles is for those who want extra cardio on top of the standard Classic Approach, either for performance of for weight loss. Those attempting Doubles should be completely injury free and have plenty of energy to add another workout to the schedule three or four days per week.

The P90X workouts are approximately 1hr (1 DVD) each day, 6 days a week, with the 7th day being a day or rest or optionally X Stretch. Please see the breakdown below. Feel free to preview the video descriptions of each workout on the P90X product page here:

P90X DOUBLES PHASE 1:

This phase is identical to Phase 1 of P90X Classic. Your focus should be on mastering each exercise. Concentrate less on the amount of weight but instead try to reach your rep goals, while maintain good form!

P90X DOUBLES PHASE 2:

This is where you turn it up! Add Cardio X 3 times per week. It’s recommended to do this workout in the morning on an empty stomach. Then do your regular P90X workout later when you’ve got more blood glycogen for energy.

P90X DOUBLES PHASE 3:

Now you’re going to up P90X cardio to 4 times per week. With the this much additional cardio, it’s important that you eat very well to ensure that you have the proper energy to push yourself each day.
