P90X Education

It can be hard to know what fitness program is right for you.  I am here to help with that.  I will post information about different Beachbody programs and why they may or may not be right for you. 

First up, P90X.  The forefather of all Beachbody workouts.  It is not for the faint of heart but don't let people fool you.  YOU CAN DO IT!  There are ways to modify and there are "pre-programs" that you can do to work your way up to this.

Basically, P90X is a fat burning system that helps you build lean muscle.  It is a 90 day program that changes things up every 30 days.  Each day you do a different workout.  You do a combination each week of Chest and Back, Plyometrics (jump training), Shoulders and Arms, Yoga, Kenpo (mixed martial arts), Stretching, Core, Chest, Shoulders and Biceps, Cardio, and of course Abs. 

Each workout is about 60 minutes in length.  It may seem that this is long but really, it's not so bad because you are changing things up all the time.  It is not constant squats or lunges or bicep curls.  You do each workout for about 30 seconds before you move on to the next.  You don't have time to get bored.  LOVE THAT! 

The program comes with everything you need to be successful.  It includes a nutrition plan that allows you to eat A LOT of food that is giving your body just what you need to nourish it correctly.  The nutrition plan coupled with Shakeology (that will be another posting) give your body lots of energy and proper nutrition.

You also get a 90 day workout calendar.  This calendar not only includes the Classic style workout but it also includes 2 other options so after you do the program you can go back and do it again and get a different workout.  All with amazing results.

P90X is effective for those who want to lose weight, want to gain muscle and tone, to improve athletic performance, and for women who want to increase muscles without BULKING up.  Yes, you can build muscle and not bulk up.

I am currently doing the Classic calendar of P90X and I am loving it.  Even though I have always thought that I couldn't do it, I am rocking it.  I feel great.  I look forward to my workouts.  I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to get in great shape and wants to see what they are really made of.
