The P90X Exercises are a great creation by Tony Horton and the Beach body which is a home based exercise program that is spread over 90 days or 13 weeks spanning over 6 days a week along with a proper diet and nutrition plan that promises to show results if followed religiously for the said time. The exercises have proved to be very effective and millions of satisfied customers can vouch its effectiveness. If you are looking for the total set, you can order them either online at amazon.com or over the phone.
The P90X exercises comes in a 12 DVD pack and provides detailed guidelines to how it should be followed and they also provide a comprehensive guide plan on what diet to follow to make it most effective. The pack also contains a nutrition book that includes great ideas for low fat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Importantly the concept that is introduced by the P90X Exercises is first of its kind and focuses on 'muscle confusion' - where the exercises are so planned that the muscles do not get enough time to adjust themselves to the workout and thus the responses are unique and there is never a plateau in the growth curve.
The beauty of the P90X Exercises is that since they are designed for home workouts, there is not much need of equipment for the process. If you have a resistance band, you can do quite a number of exercises. The other things that you might need are a few weights and dumbbells- that are relatively inexpensive and can be purchased from any sport shop or even online. For the push up bar or the push up stand, you can either buy it or even use a chair in its place. The P90 is a great workout for those who want to tone up in as little as 90 days. The exercises work well for those who are overweight and help them shed a few pounds quickly. However, fitness experts recommend that anyone who was into a sedentary lifestyle should not suddenly start the program, as the exercises are very strenuous and calls for a lot of dedication and commitment.
The P90x exercises can be divided into three categories like the beginner, intermediate and the advanced ones and the exercises are a combination of the stretches, cardio, plyometrics, yoga, Ab ripper and karate like moves and techniques called the Kenpo. The exercises are there for the dedicated areas like the arms and shoulders, legs and back, abs and even for specific problem areas, if any, that you would like to focus. Most of the exercises span to almost one hour including the warm up time of 10 minutes and the cool down time of 3-5 minutes. The only exception to this is the AB Ripper X that is about 16 minutes.
