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.

Another important point we’d like to make in our p90x Review is that there are no special meal packages to buy – a definite advantage for many. High protein and low fat foods are recommended in the p90x Nutrition Plan, as are more frequent consumption of smaller meals. The p90X emphasizes that most foods can be obtained from your local grocery stores. This is a long-term method of losing weight and one that anyone, at any age, should be able to follow. It is essential, however, to stay with p90x for 90 days to get the full benefits of fat burning, strength and endurance buildup, and to establish a foundation of good eating habits – all of which can be accomplished through considerable time and effort. Although nutritional supplements are mentioned as advisable, this p90x Review does not cover the benefits or provide recommendations for specific products to buy.

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.

2. mass Written by matt, on 01-07-2009 15:52 hey has anyone completed the program and gained mass...that is my goal to gain mass and im not sure if the program is good for that. I heard you have to alter the diet plan so if anyone did this and it worked please share what you did.

3. Steven Written by kenny, on 01-07-2009 08:50 Steven,     You can gain mass as well with this program. You would need to lift heavier weights and consume higher calories.

4. Written by Steven, on 30-06-2009 23:12 I am 6'1 and 150 lbs and im trying to gain mass. i wasnt sure if this was a good program for that because i heard it is for losing weight.

6. Question - beer? Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 29-06-2009 10:59 I'm thinking about starting P90x and had a question about a few Saturday night beers.....How much would this setback progress made during the week....? Obviously with doing an intense workout routine everyday there would be no consumption on any other night....In my social and career environment social events with beer / wine are regular...Has anyone done the plan while still have occassional drinks on Saturday night (with Sunday being the off day)...?

8. Silver Does P90X (Daily Video Blog of my Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 25-06-2009 11:43 I can tell you first hand this program WORKS!!! I am currently as of today on Day 11. It was VERY hard the first few days as muscles I have not really used in a while were "waking up" I lost 13 pounds on the first week. This program handles everytthing for you. It comes with the worksheets(use them), it also had the Diet Plan (stick to it). I could not beleive the results after one week. If you take this serious and follow as instructed you WILL SEE RESULTS! I have a blog about my P90X journey that I started. I am keeping a daily video update along with a weekely Phooto/Progress update. Check it out if you want to see my results. silverdoesp90x.wordpress.com

9. Responding to Jen and LavaRock Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 25-06-2009 08:54 Honestly, I did the program halfway just like you. That means I didn't change my eating and I only used resistance bands instead of the pull-up/chin-up bar. I didn't see the get ripped results, but I was still happy with it because I felt stronger and did look leaner.   The next time I do it, I will go all the way.

11. p90x works.... Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 22-06-2009 08:12 For the peeps who are thinking about starting this workout, let me tell ya.. the x is there for a reason.. i tried to do this after 2 years of not lifting any weights.. and gaining 60lb.. i could not do it.. so I started with the 10 minute workouts by beachbody.. and I was able to start p90x a couple of weeks later.. to me its a good intro as long as you stay with it... I just finished phase 1 of p90x along with weight watchers.. and im 34lbs lighter...30lbs to go and 2 more phases.. and a second round after that!!

12. Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 16-06-2009 14:12 Ive been doing P90x for four weeks and have seen great results. Ive lost ten pounds and went from 18% bodyfat to 13% already. I do P90x in the am and lift weights in the afternoon. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how I should pair the workouts. As in which exercises should I do in the afternoon to not interfere with P90x in the morning for each day.

13. Written by Terrell, on 16-06-2009 11:44 P90x is definitely worth it. I would recommend it to anyone who is really SERIOUS about changing their bodytype. I'm 41 y/o man, 5'10 and was 215 when i started the program, now i weigh 190. I'm more ripped now than I was at 20.

14. Written by Guest, on 15-06-2009 10:04 I'm a female in my 20's and after a few years of unhealthy habits I have decided to take action. I know this isn't for everyone, but this is working for me thus far, as I have 40lbs (it was 50) to lose and really am trying to change my lifestyle.  I take a swig of apple cider vinegar when I wake up, and take a women's multi-vitamin and a B complex/vitamin C pill.  I only drink water and unsweetened green tea.  In the AM I eat 1 frozen waffle with no syrup and some Morningstar Farms breakfast patties.  I snack on string cheese during the day and for lunch/dinner I eat some more Morningstar Farms sausage links or breakfast patties.  I plan on throwing in some more fruit/veggies shortly.  I do give myself a sensible free food day.  I am on week 2 of P90X, I have good strength but my stamina and flexibility are lacking, but it'll come.    In addition to that, I feel that these are useful tools:  http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-burned.php   http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_loss.php

15. Are the pull up bar and resistance bands Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 15-06-2009 07:54 Im thinking about starting this programme but dont want to use a pull up bar (because it would wreck the door!) I already have dumbbells. Will this work with just the dumbbells or is it ESSENTIAL to have the pull up bar and resistance bands too??    Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

16. p90x recovery drink Written by gman, on 14-06-2009 13:26 I would definitely do a recovery drink, if you don't want to spend the money for one (p90x is very good) then I would do with chocolate milk.    Read the recovery drink section on this website (under exercise menu) it has an article that discusses that chocolate milk is highly effective and this is backed up by cited clinical trials.    but p90x recovery drink is very good too, so its a matter of choice.

17. RECOVERY DRINK QUESTION FOR ANYONE Written by Michael, on 13-06-2009 14:43 Is the P90X Recovery Drink a necessary element for post workout, and if so is there an alternative suppliment I can take or drink instead of P90X's recovery drink?

18. megan and katie Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 11-06-2009 10:14 Megan: phase I while is called the fat burning stage, I didn't see any fat really come off until the 6th week. Keep with it and you will notice after switching phases it will melt away.    Catie: I STRONGLY think that you aren't doing these exercises with proper form.

19. P90x Written by Bryan, on 11-06-2009 00:32 On the 2nd week of phase 2...wow! First of all, this is not a get fit with no work type of exercise. You need to be prepared to work your butt off and stick to it. It is a 6 day a week, 1 1/2 hour workout routine. You do a combination of weight / resistance training and cardio or yoga type. The workouts alternate so on day 1, you will do arms and shoulders, day 2 plyometrics (toughest one in my opinion) day 3 biceps, day 4 yoga, day 5 legs and day 6 kempo. After 4 weeks, you switch up and do a completely different set of exerices. The only thing that stays the same in phase 2 is the yoga, plyo and kempo workouts. Phase 3 basically combines workouts from phase 1 and 2. I am halfway into week 6, and currently I have lost 20 pounds! I am pretty consistant with losing about 1/2 pound per day (I started at 5' 9" and 230 pounds). I don't really follow the diet - however, I have been limiting my calories to 1700 / day which is recommended in the nutrition plan. I would have probably lost a lot more if I stuck to their diet...but it is pretty strict and my life style makes the diet difficult to follow. When I am done with the workout, I believe that I will have easily lost 30-35 pounds total. Also, I noticed gaines after only 2 weeks. Not to say I was ripped (nor am I necessarily ripped now), but my arms felt a lot more toned. After 6 weeks, I am really starting to see the muscle definition. Can't believe how fast it is working. Like I said, great workout but PLEASE DON'T THINK YOU CAN JUST POP THE DVD IN YOUR MACHINE AND MAGICALLY GET STRONGER...YOU NEED TO WORK!!!!

20. Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 10-06-2009 15:12 I have been doing Turbo Jam for the last 3 months, and noticed my body stopped showing significant changes and or weight-loss. I started researching more home-fitness programs and noticed that P90X was very popular, and promised some really good things. I purchased this program, hoping to add it to my already fitness routine with Turbo Jam, and the last 3 days have been torture compared to the other program I'd been doing. I am sore in areas that I didn't know could be sore, since my body is already used to working out and what not. I am very happy with the signs of change that this new program has showed me in as little as 3 days of adding it to my Turbo Jam routine. These programs however, are only good if your planning on making it a lifestyle, dont work out and then stop because your not going to see a difference.
