What is P90X all about?

Here are the basics of P90X, it is Tony Horton’s 90 day home fitness challenge, that involves 12 intense DVD’s that are designed to workout each and every part of your body. It does not require a lot of fitness equipment, just dumbbells, exercise bands, and a chin-up bar.

These DVD’s provided you with a huge variety of workouts, not only focusing on building muscle, but also providing flexibility routines with Yoga X, and cardiovascular routines like Kenpo X and Cardio X, that will push you to your limit. A personal trainer, Tony Horton himself will also be pushing and guiding you for successful results. The P90X DVD’s are interactive, give great music to motivate you, and also supply many different training techniques, so you do not get bored with doing the same workout over and over again. Just view the P90X calendar to see how many different workout routines you will through during your 90 day training.

How does P90X work?

P90X prides itself on its groundbreaking system called “Muscle Confusion.” The concept of muscle confusion is basically not allowing your body to get familiar with doing the same fitness routines again and again cause a plateau effect. P90X is always introducing new moves, new techniques, like different styles of push-ups, to insure that your muscles will never get used to doing just one routine.

P90X Nutrition

To every great workout plan there is a great nutritional guide. When you buy P90X you will receive a 3-phase nutrition plan. This nutritional plan is just as critical to your success as doing the exercises themselves. The three phases are specifically calculated to correspond with your workout. Phase one is fat shredding, eating high-protein foods that will provide strength to your muscles, while your body is burning fat. Phase two, will boost your energy by integrating carbohydrates and foods with low fat but high in protein to ensure your body is performing at its energy peak. Phase three, will introduce more complex carbohydrates so that your body will have the endurance to complete the P90X DVD’s. Each phase will act as fuel for your body, allowing your body to perform at its maximum ability.
