So what is P90X? How will work for me?

Published on Mar. 2, 2011, 6:06 PM Last Update: 1 year(s) ago by Lonny Sherman

 So you've seen the infomercials on TV, or maybe your friends are talking about it and you're wondering if the P90X fitness program really works. As someone who has seen results within weeks and even days I can tell you that if you're trying to burn fat, lose weight, gain muscle, tighten skin or improve athletic abilities then this it the fitness program for you. P90X is a fitness system designed around muscle confusion, a technique used to achieve maximum possible growth and development of muscles in a quick period. With any fitness plan you must be ready to commit yourself and follow the nutrition guide provided with the P90X fitness plan.

Will P90X help me burn fat and lose weight?
Of course, P90X is a world class workout program and if you stick to the exercise, and nutrition plan you will burn fat and lose weight quicker than you thought possible. Through the entire 90 days you'll see a drastic change in your body fat percentage. Is everyone going to get these results? Well probably not, as some do not have the motivation, or time to complete the workouts and eat with the healthy lifestyle approach.

How will P90X help me burn fat quickly?
As stated above P90X is designed to confuse muscles to quickly develop muscle and burn fat simultaneously. P90X comes shipped with 13 different workouts that will target every area of fitness. Everyone has hit a plateau somewhere in their life whether it was from lack of results after months of training or starting a program that yielded insignificant results from the beginning to the end. The variety in the P90X workouts will keep you from hitting plateaus throughout this program. As you gain muscle you'll also burn more calories throughout the day, even while resting. With proper nutrition you will be burning fat like you wouldn't believe.

Is P90X meant for people who are already athletic?
P90X works for people of all fitness capabilities and will help anyone achieve higher levels of fitness. For those new to fitness, P90X provides modified moves to many of the exercises to accompany your fitness level. P90X does come with a recommended fitness test but even if you don't pass you can follow the workouts modified moves or try Power 90, the younger brother of P90X. If you're already athletic then you can workout with increased intensity to get your maximum fitness results. No matter how extensive your fitness capabilities are you will see the best results if you workout at the right intensity level, set attainable goals, follow the nutrition plan, and do the workouts.

How will P90X improve my athletic abilities?
P90X works amazingly well for those trying to increase their athleticism. By the end of this 90 day program you will have major increases in strength, flexibility, agility, and stamina. P90X has designed workouts specifically for increases in athletic skills. To get the best results you must fully commit yourself to completely the program for at least 90 days. If you pick and choose which workouts you want to do based on what you think will yield the greatest results you probably won't see the results you want to see.

How much time will I have to dedicated to P90X?
P90X workouts are typically anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half long. P90X dedicates time to stretching before and after every workout to prevent injury and maximize recovery between workouts. There are 7 workouts a week, but P90X gives you an option to rest on the 7th day if you want to remove the workout dedicated to stretching for increased flexibility. Many people will make excuses that they don't have enough time to exercise, but it really is easy to set aside time to workout as long as you plan ahead.

Will I need special Equipment? 
Idealy you will need a chinup/pullup bar, dumbells of various weights, and a yoga mat, but most people do not have these tools in hand. You do need some type of resitance equipment to get the most out of the workouts that have resistant training. I do recommend at least a set of resistant bands in various strengths so you can move between lighter to heaver resistance for the exercizes that will need different resistance and I would get a door hanger to loop the resistance bands though.. I also highly recommend a yoga mat, one for the purpose of doing the yoga routine and for the other to have as a cushion for other excercies. 

So will the P90X fitness program work for everyone?
Well the answer is no, not for everyone. P90X will only work for those dedicated to the entire 90 day program. If you have set realistic goals, follow the nutrition guide, complete your workouts, and exercise at your maximum intensity level you will see amazing results. So, can P90X work for everyone? Yes! As long as you follow the P90X guidelines and are medically ready to perform these workouts, then P90X will help achieve your fitness goals.

What if I am a total Beginner?
The company who makes the P90X program has many different programs from beginner to even more advanced so there is something for everyone. If you are on the fence, then I can help.
