My P90x Review
Hello, my name is Nick and this is my p90x review.
Let me begin by saying this-if your ready to see RESULTS, the p90x workout plan is for you. I’ve been working out with weights, doing cardio, and trying everything under the sun, but I have never come across a program that was so comprehensive. P90x will take care of your health, your self image, and will make you FEEL great.
First, the workouts. You can choose to go the Classic, Lean, or Doubles route. I did the Classic route, with a goal for increasing my core strength. The workouts are structured and designed to keep your body(and mind) in what Beachbody(the company that created the p90x workout) calls ‘muscle confusion’. The main benefit of doing a workout that incorporates muscle confusion is that you NEVER plateau. You are switching up the workouts on yourself so often that you-and your body- don’t ever really get bored. There are so many possible combinations with these workouts too, that if you did happen to get bored, you could switch it up!
Don’t get me wrong-the workouts are a challenge. BUT, the way Tony Horton(your lovable guide) presents the challenge to you helps you to feel like not only can you do it, but you can do better than you think! One of the ways he does this is by introducing the phrase ‘I presently struggle with..’. He encourages you not to beat yourself up if you can’t ‘match’ what he and the other guys on the screen are doing. And this is a breath of fresh air. I found myself accepting my current limit, and as soon as I did so, I saw that I had a little bit more ‘umph’ and energy to get in one more push-up or one more pull-up. Tony has a way of balancing self-acceptance with motivating you to go a little further. Ultimately, it’s up to you how hard you work-and that is liberating!
There is a great mix of workouts too. There is a mix of weight lifting, calisthenics(i.e. push-ups), yoga, kenpo(like kickboxing), jump training(plyometrics), stretching, and cardio. One of my favorite ones is the Kenpo workout-you don’t even feel like your working out because your so involved in what your doing. You are using all kinds of ways to work your body out, and this gives you the feeling of COMPLETENESS. You won’t feel like your missing out on anything! The longest workout is 90 minutes(the yoga workout) and most of the others are about 50 minutes, with about 5 minutes of stretching at the beginning and end(the stretching eases you into the workout very well by the way…).
P90x will also save you money. If you have been going to the gym and are not seeing the results you want, p90x is a great replacement. For less than $150, you get the total package. You save gas money, you have no monthly fees for the gym, the equipment you need for p90x is minimal and very affordable(I spent around $50!), and you don’t have to worry about scrounging up money for your future workouts at the gym or new equipment. It’s all taken care of with p90x. I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars on fitness. I wish I would have used p90x earlier. If your ready now, you can buy p90x and start saving!
P90x is a very entertaining program. Tony is really funny. He is serious and focuses at times and a little lax at others. You will find yourself looking forward to his little jokes and idosyncrasies as you go through the workouts. This helps you to feel like it’s FUN. His, and the other participants attitudes, help you do the hard work with a balance of humor. This makes the workouts go by quickly. You also find that because Tony and the others are so down-to-earth, funny, and encouraging, you want to work harder. And of course-it’s you who benefit!
Lastly, p90x has a great support system. You can go online to log your workouts and be supported by the p90x community. Beachbody has supporting supplements you can pick up too, like the p90x recovery formula. Basically, you are completely taken care of by Beachbody when you purchase p90x. When you get p90x you get the structure you need, the great workouts, awesome nutrition options to fit your goals, and the results to prove it. And finally-you get a 90-day money back guarantee. That means you can basically almost do the ENTIRE program and still send it back if your not satisfied. But you probably won’t!
