Sometimes you watch an infomercial and think, this seems too good to be true.
A lot of people say that about p90x.
Having a background in physical education, I thought that this program was worth checking out.
After 1 week, here is my p90x review.
Tony Horton's p90x is a 12 DVD system that focuses on the principle of muscle confusion.
I was not sure how extreme it would be until I tried the system myself, and now I can speak from experience.
I originally thought that the program would be a 12 days rotation, doing 1 workout a day, and then continuing the cycle.
It is actually broken up into 3 section.
The first section lasts 3 weeks, so that is all that I have experienced yet.
The Workouts Intense, extreme, efficient, all of these words describe the workouts, but Tony does a good job of reassuring people to stay within their means, and give themselves time to improve.
The workouts can get a little fast pace at times, and you may find yourself wanting to pause it for a second to take a break, or to double check how to do the exercise.
The limited amount of equipment that you use in no way takes away from the workouts.
It makes it nice and simple to do them in your own home.
Strengths of The Program With p90x, all of the workouts are around an hour, so you know what you are getting yourself into.
By combining the cardio and strength training, you get a workout similar to spending much longer at a gym doing traditional workouts.
It is definitely a program that gets results.
I am in pretty good shape.
I started the program at 176, and 18.
6% bod fat.
My goal is not to lose much weight, considering I am about 6'1, but more to lower my body fat %.
After the 5 workouts that I got in within the first week, I lost about 2 pounds, and almost a full % body fat.
I did not eat like someone trying to lose weight.
I actually increased my calorie intake, but began cutting out the unhealthy foods.
I can see how people that follow the diet with the workout program lose the amazing number of pounds that they have.
Cons of The Program What would and review,.
even a p90x review be, without some cons.
While the workouts are incredible, there is 1 thing that I have noticed that I would change in the DVD, and have already changed for my workouts.
Tony Horton does a great job getting you warmed up, and running you through the workout.
His cool down and stretch are a little short though.
The better the shape you are in, the faster you will recover after a workout.
His cool downs seem to really be geared toward the very fit.
The simple fix is taking some extra time to stretch on you own.
