Let's take a look at the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout
Program . . .
Do you want to get in shape but cannot find the time to
venture to the gym? If so, you are not alone. There are many people
that wish they had the ability to spend a little time hitting the
weights in their local gym but have a number of obstacles in their way.
There is no reason to fret, however, as the concept of working out at
home has come a long way. Following a home workout system
such as the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program may be the best
option you can take.
This popular exercise system (seen on infomercials) promises to help
you achieve your personal fitness goals, whether you wish to get lean,
add muscle mass,
or build strength.
But does P90X work? Let's take a closer look at the fitness program . .
.
The P90X Workout Program is an excellent new release by
the popular company Beach Body. It is hosted by personal
trainer Tony Horton.
Horton has been in the fitness business for quite some time and he
knows exactly what is needed to get to the point and establish a number
of helpful tips for those looking to get into great shape. Can he
deliver in this exercise DVD and nutrition plan set? Does P90X work?
Well, based on consumer feedback, this is one of the better exercise
DVD programs ever produced. People love this system because it gives
them results.
At the heart of the program is an
advanced training technique known as "muscle confusion." What does this
mean?
Essentially, with traditional workouts, such as a regular jogging or
aerobic or weight lifting routine, you hit a plateau because your
muscles get used to
going through the same movements. At this point, results come more
slowly, if at all.
But when you train according to the principles of muscle confusion, you
are constantly adding new movements and exercise routines. This
delivers fresh,
challenging stimulation to your primary muscles, involves secondary and
tertiary muscles, and pushes your body past plateaus.
The P90X Workout Program is designed to utilize these powerful exercise
techniques over the course of 90 days (one cycle). Although 90 days may
not seem like a lot of time, with the exercises and nutrition plan
included here, 90 days is more than an adequate amount of time to
achieve your fitness goal (or at least make significant progress toward
your target).
So exactly what do you get with the system? The package includes
13 DVDs, a three-phase nutrition plan, supplement options, and a
fitness guide.
The exercise DVDs are well-produced. They provide detailed instruction
on cardio, Yoga, stretching, kickboxing, core workouts, and the very
overlooked concept of plyometric (jumping for speed in motion)
training. Everything you need to achieve your goals is covered.
The nutrition plan is based on three phases, and is designed to work in
tandem with the P90X workouts. The nutrition phases progress from fat
burning, to energy boosting, to endurance and stamina maximizing.
The focus is not on fad diets; it's based on teaching you how to select
the right foods and proper portion sizes to experience lasting success.
With the program, you'll also receive an introductory DVD entitled "How to
Bring It," a workout calendar, and access to an online forum that gives
you the opportunity to connect with others who are using the system to
reach their fitness goals.
Consumer
Feedback
What Consumers Like:
- The workouts covered on the exercise DVDs are very
challenging. Unless you are a
professional athlete, you won't breeze through these sessions. Expect
to work hard.
- Comprehensive, varied workouts. From Yoga to stretching to abdominal
work to
strength-building to endurance training, it's all covered here. And
because of the muscle confusion concept at the core of it all, none of
it is repetitive, so you won't get bored.
- Little exercise equipment required. All you really need is an
affordable set of workout
bands and your own body weight to complete the majority of the workouts.
What
Consumers Don't Like:
- Because the workouts are so challenging, this
is
not a program for beginners to
exercise. This is an advanced workout system. You'll need to already be
at a decent level of fitness to complete these workouts.
- This does require some time and commitment. The sessions last for
about an hour a day, six days a week.
- The suggested nutritional supplement options can get expensive, so
you may want to do research into dietary supplements that fit your
budget.
Summary
Overall, the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program wins high marks.
These workouts are intense, and they will help you reach your goals,
whether you wish to lose weight, get toned, or improve your endurance.
Many people have stated that after completing one cycle of the program,
they were in the best shape of their lives. Recommended.
