The p90x Nutrition Plan is centered on a powerful 13-week physical fitness program, combined with healthy eating habits, guaranteed to help you lose weight and regain the confidence in having a firm, toned body. We found in our p90x Review that the emphasis is on the importance of regular exercise to increase stamina and build muscle to replace excess weight. Carl Diekler and his company have developed a super program in the p90x Nutrition Plan that really revs up your metabolism for fast weight loss to burn away those unwanted calories.

12 Exercise Videos

Our p90x Review focuses on the essential elements of the p90x Nutrition Plan including the intense daily workouts and what to expect from p90x. Tony Horton, a professional trainer, provides serious motivation in the 12 videos that are included in the p90x Nutrition Plan. Each p90x video focuses on improving various parts of the body from chest, back, and biceps to legs and abs. Stretching, yoga, and cool down are all important features of these hour long workouts – no easy thing for beginners or the out of shape – but it does get easier as your body adjusts to the requirements in p90x.

Muscle Confusion

One of the reasons why the P90x is so effective is muscle confusion. The workouts are intense and are designed to work each body part daily. After month 1 you are introduced to a new set of exercises so your body doesn’t plateau. This is the reason most of the other exercises fail.

The p90x can be your own personal training and nutrition plan with online support, meal planning, a calendar to mark your progress, and other p90x Reviews and success stories to provide inspiration along the way. The complete p90x set of DVDs, nutrition guide, and detailed guidance can be purchased online. Endorsed by medical professionals, personal trainers, body builders, and just ordinary people, this is an effective fitness program that you can do at home. We considered too in our p90x Review the appeal and practicality of not having to travel to a gym or purchase expensive equipment, although a heart rate monitor and a yoga mat are probably worth considering.

Finally...

We can summarize in our p90x Review that motivation and self-discipline are the keys to success with the p90x Nutrition Plan. We would recommend the p90x if your goals are to increase muscle tone, improve your overall fitness and cardiovascular activity, and are willing to devote some serious time and energy into getting there. You can forget surgery and diet pills, and still be able to reach the desired level of less than 10% body fat through the p90x Nutrition Plan. The decision is yours; however, we hope this p90x Review has provided some information and stirred your interest in p90x.

	go easy on the ab ripper... I just finished P90X two weeks ago. It took longer then I had hoped because I pulled a lower abdominal muscle while doing the ab ripper X routine. Unfortunately this kept me away from P90X for 5 weeks to recover. Besides that, these videos give you an awesome work out. I am gearing up to do it again in two weeks. This time I will really focus on the diet and yogaX, which I would skip sometimes. Other than that, I got totally ripped from this plan and can knock out 60 pushups no sweat now. Guest Report

	P90x I just finished day 9 of P90x, and boy! It sure is a workout, But i Love it! On my "Rest Day", i felt like...what do i do? I just wanted to jump back into the program and start working out again! Haha! Oh, I am 21, 5'7, and weigh 150 Exactly! I trying to turn my stomach into that much needed 6 pack and i want to get those arms and chest into shape! Even though its only day 9, i see some results! My chest is gaining muscle and my stomach is tightening up! Ab RipperX is brutal! LoL, but i love it! And chest and back is also crazy with all those push ups! But thats whats making my chest get more muscle. Dont be discouraged! Try the program out! My friend is about 5'8 or 5'9 and weighs about 240-something, but he is able to keep up! Its hard on him, but i keep encouraging him to do it! http://myspace.com/andy_is_better_than_you Guest Report

	P90x Bill & Michael - if you haven't worked out in a while, I'd recommend you spend a few weeks doing a less intense program first. If you do want to jump right in to P90X, just don't get discouraged in the 1st week. The moves are hard and the workouts are intense. But, you'll be amazed at how quickly it whips you into shape. By the 2nd & 3rd weeks you'll be doing moves that you thought impossible in the beginning.    Jair - the only workout that was hard on my joints was Plyometrics. Non stop jumping for an hour! Be very careful with this one. I have plantar fasciitis and had to stop Plyo and do the Cardio workout instead.    Good luck to all who want to start P90X. It's really hard but it's also a lot of fun! Guest Report

	Joints and Heart? For those of you who have completed the P90X program, what kind of stress did the workouts place on your joints. How did your knees, shoulders, wrists and elbows feel?     ALSO, did anyone keep track of their heart rate during the workouts? How high did your heart rate go? Guest Report

	Joints and Heart? P90x would help you out but I'd recommend heavier weight lifting with fewer reps. You really want to focus on the large muscles in your body. Thighs, back, chest. Most people tend to focus on biceps, very small muscle. Can search around this site for some articles on this.    With that said you can do p90x to accomplish this, just think it may benefit you more to do free weights with max weight, min reps (6- sets.

	Can a greatly out of shape person do thi I'm looking to buy this program and would like to know from people if this is something a really out of shape guy can do.    I'm 6 foot 270 pounds and all of it is in my gut. My legs and arms aren't really flabby. I'm needing to lose about 70 pounds over the next year.    Would you guys reccommend this program for me or should I start on something else first and work my way into this? Guest Report

	sure bill, that sounds like me. i was in football/baseball/track in high school. started working right after and thought that, that was enough. well let's just say a beer or 2 a day and doing nothing had something different to say. i had lost almost everything, from a 4.6-40 to a 5.4-40 in only 3 years. i started running 2 miles a day and doing other stuff but couldn't get it back. w/this program i whipped it passed the mark i was in high school, and just keeps going further. it worked for me anYway kinda expensive though, but worth it, better than paying a gym 30$ every month for the rest of your life.

	not sure Im in great shape. 23 years old 170 8%bf 6'3". So i was skeptical at first. I bike and surf and lift wieghts so being in good shape i was expecting this to be easy. It is deffinitely difficult because of the intensity. If you do it right, the way you are spose to, you WILL get results. Im only a week into it so i havn't seen any difference yet, but I have not been this sore in a long time. Which is a good thing Guest Report

	Time Spent on Work outs I spend between 50 minutes,kenpo cardio x, which happens to be my absolute favorite, to 1 hour and 35 minutes doing yoga. The average is about an hour. The seventh day can be a complete rest day with no work outs or, a stretch day which I recommend at least every other week. The stretch is not hard and really promotes flexibility. Guest Report

	tone vs mass building I am now in round 3, and doing a combo of P90X and P90X plus. I have already completed 2 rounds. As far as mass building vs toning, there are different courses you can select from the book, one for each. If you want to build mass, then you need to choose heavier weights. What it really comes down to is fat loss of your body. As you lose more and more fat, you will actually see muscle definition. You could already have a 6 pack, but if it buried under 2 inches of fat, you're not going to see it. My shoulder and legs are becoming striated and I have well defined biceps and abs now that I have followed this program.     For the teen question, yes you can do this program. It's not uncommon to have trouble with the pull ups. Use a chair to help you and I guarantee that if you stick with it, in time you will be able to crank out pull ups unassisted. Follow the eating program! With these exercise and this way of eating, the fat will melt off. But, you have to be consistent. Most importantly, take pictures at day 1, day 30 ,day 45 and day 90. This really helps you actually see the results. Good luck Guest Report

	was wandering about the product Hi , I would just like to know whether you people that have already done p90x believe that this is a more toning or mass building program . If so , what amount of reps should I be doing in order to achieve gains in muscle mass . I have the cd's , and looking at the videos (for example legs and back) it is hard to see how you can build muscle mass while doing 25 or 30 reps for leg exercises . Guest Report

	running good to hear more results from the "x"    As far as running goes, i'd do it in the evening time or just look at your week as 9 days instead of 7. i wouldn't bag either of those workouts espically the pylometrics. if you like to jog, this workout will really help you amp up the running. it did me anyway. kenpo, u'll sweat your ass off!@ just gotta put full motion into it.

	running P90X is an awesome workout. My wife and I do them together. I'm 6'1" and about 245 lbs when we started. The most difficult thing for me are the pull-ups. There are lots of them. Doing the workouts alone will help you build muscle tone but you really to incorporate changes in diet in with this workout. By changing diet, focusing on upping the metabolism by eating lean portions more frequently I was able to drop 35 lbs in the first six weeks while adding a whole lot of muscle. Going from one pull-up with good form to sixteen.    You've got to commit and work hard, but the results are worth it. Guest Report

	accessories jess,  of course you don't half to get any of it and still see results. but the more you get the protein, creatine, recovery, the better the results of course. i didn't get theirs b/c it was so high. i just went to ole wally world and bought creatine and recovery formula (just look on the label for it). it really seemed to help. i usually get the snicker marathon bars or south beach diet bars. i would suggest six star protein from wal-mart, cheap and effective, maybe even throw in some vitiamin blend with it.

	Best Workout Ever! I bought the P90x system and did all workouts but the Yoga (which is hard as heck) just be warned this workout is not for super out of shape people to really get anything out of it get in somewhat ok shape then start the program. I started in Jan. and by April i had lost 30lbs and have keep it off all summer! I put all the workouts on my iPod and i take them anywhere. Def a good buy if you travel a lot or don't like going to gyms. Guest Report

	steve? Steve,  there is no possible way that this workout does nothing for you. you just didn't push yourself enough. 2 of the gladiators off of american gladiators did p90x and still do it. it's self body resistance. you just need to bring it. your telling me that 160 chin ups in an hour isn't doing anything? what about the 250 pushups plus the 100 chinups you can do in chest and bacK? and as far as ab ripper x, it is alil funny on the thighs but it ripped my abs. i was doing over 200 situps a day, this blew by it with 350 total. you probably need to work on your form, push further, go deeper, what ever it is. i'd say give it another week and on every move act like it's your last, instead of half ass.

	wow I am surprised steve says this. We have hundreds of users review this (the comments are truncated to more recent 50, but we have 250+) and our forums are loaded with people who show before and after pictures. There are also a lot of "fitness nuts" who came into p90x in shape and still found it very good.    This is the first negative comment I have ever heard about p90x. I am not affiliated with beachbody and make no money off them. We post the reviews unbiased.    Steve - perhaps try the P90x+ which is the "extreme" version for those already in really good shape. Of course, you'd have to buy it, thats the downside for you. Perhaps you can "borrow" a copy from somewhere/one. Guest Report

	not worth the money Hey,just got done with the p90x week one,great for  old outa shape guys,but not for young in shape guys.  the worst part is ab ripper x, it should be thigh ripper x,i had to do additional sit ups to feel an ab burn at all,but it did fry my thighs(waste of time)and screw my wrestling practice yesterday and today keeping me from shooting in as fast because   of my tight thighs.overall very disappointing,but  i did learn one thing, if it looks to good to be true it is.as for me i will stick to my usual routines for cardio and strength,if you are already in somewhat of good shape dont waste your time,if your not,give your 100 bucks to a local wrestler   and let him show you how to workout,thanks and good luck Guest Report

	back and after 90 days after the 90 day cycle you can either go on to p90x plus or do p90x again, which is what i did. just started the plus last week after 2 full cycles of p90x.   As far as back problems, you'll be building all kinds of support in your back with all the chin-ups and not to mention the yoga. just take it at your own pace and u'll be find. the upward dog may feel funny for a while but it is actually helping. ask your doctor.

	What you need All you need are the videos, a few set of weights, a yoga mat (you can buy one at Ross) and a pull up bar. You can use bands instead but they are harder. The only supplement I use is the whey protein powder (from Costco). I have a protein drink after every work out. I am one week from finishing round 2 of P90X plus. I love, love, love this program.I can't say enough good things about it. It has transformed my body. Follow the workouts, eat right and you will see results too. http://p90x review Guest Report

	A little Torn... I too have seen the infomercial twice now and am starting to become more and more convinced. I'm 6' tall 200 and am athelitic but in not so good shape. I like the fact that this workout claims how easy it is. When I say easy, I'm not saying the ease of the workouts but how it doesn't take a bunch of weights, gym, and complicated excercises. However I'm not a big fan of supplements other than whey protein. Will I get the same great results without taking any supplements besides whey protein and just staying on a healthy diet? After going to the webpage for P90x is started reading and saw all these other products they were recommending. What are the bare necessities I need that will give me the great results? I'm a discplined guy so staying on the workout won't be a problem. I just don't want to buy this and then there be all these hidden extras I have to do or take before I can get the maxium results. Anybody that would like to weigh in please do..     Thanks Guest Report
