What is The P90x Routine Program

By Hamish McIntyre


PX90X is a do it yourself workout system brought to you by fitness master, Tony Horton. This system has provided enthusiastic exercisers a flexible workout system that can be done at home, without compromising on quality.

The P90X is a 90 day home exercise system consisting of 12 DVD's and an integrated nutrition and diet plan. The program focuses on different combinations of exercises and nutrition to enhance workout results

How is this program any different from others? The P90X workout program has some outstanding points that differentiate it from the run-of-the-mill exercise programs available in the market today:

Muscle Confusion Most people find that with other workout programs, after a point, they reach a plateau in their physical training and this is the main issue that the P90X program has been designed to address.

Exercises done at different intensity levels form an important part of the workout schedule. This 'deviation from the norm' allows the program to give the maximum benefit leading to better endurance, enhanced physical fitness and the much desired weight loss.

This strategy of combining different types of exercises and fitness routines for varied intervals allows the body to experience 'muscle confusion' which tricks the body into avoiding the workout plateau.

How does 'muscle confusion' actually work? The experts found that varying the stress levels by way of combining exercises (intensity and duration) does not allow the muscles to adapt to the movements. This in turn allows the body to continue making progress and you can achieve the fitness levels you are aiming for.

Nothing fancy - Just Basic Equipment: One of the better aspects of this program is the economic advantage it provides. Anyone can begin with P90X because it dispenses with the need for expensive gym equipment. It allows you to use basic stuff like resistance bands and dumbbells for the exercises, and thereby proves to be a very cost effective program, especially considering the spectacular results that can be obtained.

They do have additional options like the chin up bar and push up stands for those who want to concentrate on upper body workouts. However for most people starting out with this program, good quality resistance bands are enough. You can add other tools as you intensify the workout routines.

Focused Nutrition Plan: As with any workout regimen, nutrition plays an important role. Even the most intense workout, if combined with poor nutrition, will not give the desired results.

Tony Horton and Beachbody - a company holding a BBB 'A' rating, integrated a nutrition plan that allows exercisers to derive maximum benefit from the PX90 workouts. Their theory is that at different levels of fitness, the body requires different amounts of energy.

The P90X nutrition plan is divided into 3 levels that are based on individual weight and energy output of a person. The program recommends that you start with the nutrition plan based on your level of fitness, and this is the one that you will stick with until your fitness and weight levels change

The first level of the nutrition plan begins with a high protein- low carb eating plan, and in each subsequent level the carbohydrate content is increased. Higher levels of carbohydrates are added as fuel to meet the body's increasing demand for energy

This combination of exercises and nutrition system provides a very powerful method of workout that gives immediate results.

Some people wonder if this workout will suit their requirements. It can be said that while the P90X workout system may seem extreme it does offer the flexibility for both type of exercisers-the novice as well as an experienced fitness freak.

The program consists of 3 levels of workout in each phase. Most people prefer to start off with the easier exercises in the level they choose and intensify their workouts as they become progressively fitter. They find that this strategy not only helps them avoid burnout, but also gives them the motivation to complete the entire 90 day program.

If you are seeking a workout schedule that promotes quick fitness result and gives you the luxury of working out from home, P90X program is the one that you need to consider. The verdict is clear because the results speak for themselves: the PX90 program meets the expectations of beginners and the more experienced athletes. It seems with P90X, it is the case of you can have your cake and eat it too, figuratively at least!
