Is P90X for me?

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably reached the point in your life where you know you’re ready for a big change.

You want to look better, you want to feel better and you need help getting there. If you’ve tried the “starve yourself” diets, if you’ve bought gimmicky exercise gadgets that don’t work or if you’re sick of paying a gym membership that has recurring fees, then lets dig in and take a look at why P90X is different.

What is P90X?

There are two necessary components to getting fit and staying fit:

To get real results, you can’t have one without the other! While this sounds simple on paper, as we know, it’s all in the details. P90X was built on real science. It’s a home workout system that took over a year of intense research and planning to develop by leading fitness experts and nutritionists. The goal was to not only address these two crucial components, but to a create a program that maximizes results and allows users to have an organized, effective, step-by-step game plan that works specifically for them. In short, no angle was overlooked.

How does P90X Work?

The P90X workout system uses the training science of Muscle Confusion. Over the course of 90 days as your body changes, so do the workouts. The exercise portion of P90X consists of 3 Phases that continuously introduce new moves and routines into the mix. This makes each stage of P90X as effective as the first (it also happens to keep you from geting bored of the same old thing!).

P90X offers this unique approach because research has found that results from traditional workout programs tend to trail off over time. The more the body adapts to the same old routine the less effective it becomes. This phenomenon is known as the "Plateau Effect.” By alternating between many different movements, the P90X workouts avoid this pitfall and challenge your muscles to continue to grow, increasing your results throughout the entire 90 days. Take a look at the video to the left to get a better idea of how this works.

P90X was designed to be a flexible, easy to follow program for both men and women of varying levels of physical fitness. While the routines are nothing short of intense, the key is that P9OX gives you the ability to gradually increase your performance at your own pace.

You decide the number of reps and resistance you feel
comfortable with during each exercise.

The P90X Workout system also includes more than one approach to choose from. If you want to get absolutely ripped with a greater focus on strength training, you'll want to follow the “P90X Classic” approach. For a lean, long, sleek physique, with more of a focus on cardio, you'll want to opt for the “P90X Lean" approach. If you’re a fitness freak, you may want to try out “P90X Doubles." It’s your choice, all 3 plans are fully outlined in the P90X Fitness Guide. While P90X does offer a lot of flexibility, be prepared to work for it! With 12 extreme muscle-pumping, sweat-pounding workouts, P90X is going to push your body hard! From intense weight training and advanced Plyometrics, to Core Synergistics and Extreme Yoga, P90X has earned the title of being the most comprehensive home workout system available on the market.

The P90X Nutrition Guide is headed up by author and nutrition expert Carrie Wiatt. What you'll find is a detailed, customizable eating plan based on your current weight and caloric needs when you start. The Nutrition Guide, like the PX90 Fitness guide, is also broken down into 3 phases that carry you through the enitre 90 day program. It will have you eating healthy from day one, taking the guess work out of what to eat and when. Not sure what carbs or fats are good for you? Or what snacks, dairy products and even what condiments you should be eating? No problem. The P90X Nutrition Guide not only offers an extensive list of recommended foods, but also provides daily meals and recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. There are even vegetarian alternatives as well. If you think you’re going to be feeling hungry, think again! The P90X Workout system is not a “starve yourself” diet. In fact, when you first start the program, you may have a hard time eating everything on your plate!

It’s all about eating the right foods and eating enough food so you have the energy your body needs to do the P90X workouts.

Following the P90X Nutrition Guide is just as important to your success with the program as the daily workouts themselves.

P90X doesn't require expensive gym equipment, however, there are a few things you'll need. The P90X Chin-up bar is crucial for the upper-body routines. P90X also involves strength training. If you have your own set of free weights at home, you'll be good to go, if not, we recommend using resistance bands like the ones we offer.
