Amazon.com Product Description
Tired of ineffective workouts that sound great but produce less-than-optimal results? Turn to the P90X Extreme Home Fitness system, a bundle of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. Hosted by personal trainer Tony Horton, the series of DVDs will help you get lean, bulk up, or grow stronger, with an endless variety of mix-and-match routines to keep you motivated. The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called "muscle confusion," which accelerates the fitness process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so that your body never plateaus and you never get bored. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up. And the more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results will be. By breaking old routines and opening new doors, secondary and tertiary muscles are constantly being activated and developed. In addition to the 12 DVD workouts, the P90X comes with a comprehensive three-phase nutrition plan, specially designed supplement options, a detailed fitness guide packed with valuable information on how to get the most from your program, a How to Bring It DVD that provides a quick overview of the system, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more. The DVD Workouts Each of the 12 highly diverse and intense DVD workouts focuses on either a specific set of muscle groups or a unique training technique. Workout One: Chest & Back. This superset chest-and-back-blasting workout emphasizes two classic upper-body exercises--push-ups and pull-ups--to build strength and develop shape. The combination of these two push and pull movements will help you burn loads of calories while simultaneously attacking, strengthening, and developing multiple muscle groups. Workout Two: Plyometrics. Get ready to go airborne. Offering more 30 explosive jumping moves, this intense cardio routine will keep you in the air most of the time. Plyometrics, also known as jump training, has been proven to dramatically improve athletic performance. If your sport involves a ring, rink, field, court, or track, this training will give you the edge. Just be prepared to "bring it" for a full hour when you leap into this workout, because there is no letting up. Workout Three: Shoulders & Arms. Nothing rounds out the perfect physique like a pair of well-defined arms and shoulders, and with its potent combination of pressing, curling, and fly movements, this routine will leave you feeling stronger and looking sexier. Whether you want to build muscle mass or just slim and tighten what you've already got, these targeted shoulder and arm exercises will give you the results you want. Workout Four: Yoga X. Yoga is a vital part of any fitness regimen, and is an absolute must for an extreme program like P90X. This routine combines strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind. Yoga X will leave you feeling energized, invigorated, and maybe even a little enlightened. Workout Five: Legs & Back. Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other. While the main focus of this workout lies in strengthening and developing the leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), there are also a handful of great pull-up exercises to give your legs a quick breather while you work the upper body. Workout Six: Kenpo X. Kenpo X was created to give P90X users a high-intensity cardiovascular workout packed with lots of punching and kicking combinations to improve balance, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. During this workout you'll learn some of the most effective ways to defend yourself, while at the same time getting your body in peak condition. Workout Seven: X Stretch. Stretching is the one thing that will help you achieve a higher level of athleticism over a longer period of time. The X Stretch routine is an integral part of the program, as it helps prevent injuries and avoid plateaus. The extensive full-body stretches that make up this routine use disciplines from Kenpo karate, hatha yoga, and various sports to ensure that your body is fully prepared to meet all P90X challenges head-on. Workout Eight: Core Synergistics. Each and every exercise in the Core Synergistics workout recruits multiple muscle groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your body from head to toe. Loaded with a variety of fun, unique, and challenging exercises, this routine will get you moving in all directions to maximize your P90X results. Workout Nine: Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps. Packed with an array of moves that target both large and small muscles, this workout will do wonders for your upper body. In just one full sequence you'll get a healthy dose of presses, flys, and extensions to push you to the brink. The results will be a stronger, leaner, and highly defined upper torso that will leave you looking awesome, with or without a shirt. Workout 10: Back & Biceps. With a host of curls and pull-ups, this routine will make it fun to flex those powerful biceps. But don't worry, ladies--by using lighter weight, you can focus on toning and tightening these showcase arm muscles without adding the size that most guys covet. Additionally, this workout also provides some great back definition that everyone can appreciate. Regardless of your goals, you will achieve them in dramatic fashion if you dig in and max out your reps. Workout 11: Cardio X. This low-impact cardio routine can be used in a variety of ways to meet your P90X goals. Use it in addition to your standard P90X workload when you want to burn some extra calories, or as a substitute if your body needs a break from the program's high-impact workouts. Whatever your reason for using Cardio X, you'll find it a fun, full-throttle, fat-burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean. Workout 12: Ab Ripper X. The combination and sequence of movements in this unique workout taps into not only abdominal strength, but true core strength as well. Master these 11 highly effective exercises and you will achieve vital abdominal muscle strength to benefit your overall health and physical performance. You'll also develop that highly coveted six-pack as you take Ab Ripper X to full throttle. It's extreme work that's better than any machine in any club. The Nutrition Plan Following the P90X nutrition plan is just as vital to your overall success as any of the extreme workouts in this program. Specifically designed to work in tandem with the P90X workout routines, this three-phase eating plan recommends the perfect combination of foods to satisfy your body's energy needs every step of the way. P90X is not about quick fixes or miracle diets. It's about selecting the healthy foods that you want to eat, and determining the portion amounts that will provide your body with the right amount of fuel to excel during exercise. The P90X nutrition plan offers three phases. Phase 1 is the Fat Shredder, a high-protein-based diet designed to help you strengthen your muscles while simultaneously and rapidly shedding fat from your body. Phase 2 is the Energy Booster, a balanced mix of carbohydrates and proteins with a lower amount of fat to achieve additional energy for performance. And Phase 3 is the Endurance Maximizer, an athletic diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and lower fat, with the emphasis on more carbohydrates. You'll need this combination of foods as fuel to get the most out of your final few weeks and truly be in the best shape of your life.

A fighter tells you the truth by Derek D. Bergey (Los Angeles)

I teach people Muay Thai, I'd like to say I train fighters, but mainly it's middle aged women. I do get to use Pad and train some of the younger people, but still, I don't train MMA fighters. But, have trained along side them, and trained with them. So I'm use to 1 hour of boxing, 1 hour of Muay Thai, and 1 hour of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I would do this 3 times a week. So, my body did certainly take a beating, and sparring is sill the best workout imaginable. (Grappling and stand-up). So I went into this program thinking, as of now I still take 2 BJJ classes a week. A Krav Maga class here and there, as well as my own Muay Thai workouts and about 3 Crossfit classes a week. So, it's hard to say that I'm out of shape and getting in shape, or that I'm a gym rat who never had a hard workout. That'd be untrue, I train right along side MMA fighters, some good, some bad. ANYWAY, I started this program a few days ago, so I can't even say that I'm all the way through it, or that I completed 90 days, but I can say it's an excellent program, and it's certainly worth it's weight in gold. My girlfriend, and her parents are also very excited and into it. I can't say I've seen results, but I have decided to diet a little differently while going through the program. For anyone, be it MMA fighter, Grappler of any sort, Swimmer, Gymnast or just a person with a gym membership, this is a very very good workout. That aside It sucks having to get all the other stuff. Pull up bar, weights or resistance bands etc. However, you will get in shape, unless you procrastinate and make excuses, this will work for you. I'm hoping that it adds to my BJJ and how I play the game, but we shall see. It's certainly helping my core. I wish everyone the best, and I can say that unless you HATE working out at home, then this will work for you.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM AMAZON - SCRATCHED DISCS by Reice E. Altomare

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT FROM AMAZON I highly recommend P90X to whomever is willing to put the dedication in both for the workouts and the nutritional plan. However, be warned, Amazon and other third party sellers have been known to deliver pirated and/or scratched discs. Ordering from Beachbody will insure you get brand new, non-pirated and non-scratched discs. Plus you get a lifetime warranty to replace anytime you feel. If you are trying to save a buck or two, there are a lot of bloggers out there who will tell you how to make shortcuts on the additional gear (yoga blocks, weights, recovery drinks, etc). If you must, that is where you should cut corners.

This is no joke! by TG

You always have to wonder about fitness programs because most of them are a scheme, but this is the real deal! I do not recommend this for those who aren't in somewhat decent shape already. That is not to say those who are completely out of shape shouldn't try it...it will just be a rougher road. This program is very difficult, not only physically but mentally. The diet program really works but in my opinion it is more difficult than the physical aspect. If you follow the program to a T then you will see insane results. If you follow most of it (but cheat every now and again) you are still getting your moneys worth. I was not a big fan of yoga so I never did it and I ate high protein/low carb but didn't follow the diet. Even with skipping yoga and the diet I saw amazing results. I highly recommend this program! With that being said there are some negatives. Frankly, Tony Horton (the instructor) is annoying. I watched each video once to figure out what to do and then I became my own instructor and stopped watching the videos and followed the book instead. If you aren't knowledgable wih fitness and you also find him annoying then you can watch but mute him and listen to your IPod. Another negative is the time commitment. These are not short workouts like with Crossfit. One last negative is finances. My bank account took a huge hit with the diet. I was spending alot more at the grocery store trying to eat healthier. I also purchased protein bars and Aftershock/post workout mix. These things are not cheap. The pros far outway the cons and the results are completely worth it. Buy a full length mirror because you will want to stand in front of it shaking your head at how great you look.

It's simple: DON'T buy this product if: 1) You aren't in the mood to work hard 2) If you aren't in a regular habit of exercising, and you think this will "jump start" you - - it is meant for people already in shape, NOT beginners! 3) If you want tons and tons of cardio, aerobics, etc. The emphasis in this program is resistance training, to an extent 4) If you don't have at least 70-95 minutes a day to dedicate to exercise 5) If you can't commit to this regimen for 90 days DO buy this product if: 1) You want to look better than you've ever looked in your life 2) If you currently have the fitness level, time, energy and drive to complete the workout 3) If you are in the mood for a major physical regimen, but don't want to spend $75 per hour with a personal trainer at the gym 4) If you don't want to buy five million pieces of exercise equipment - all you need are a yoga mat and resistance bands. And a chair, any chair in your house. A pull-up bar, yoga block, push-up bars, etc. are probably great but NOT necessary and I didn't use any of these - - and yet I successfully completed the program and look great now! All I'll say is that I made the time for this program, gathered the energies to do it, had the physical fitness to get through it - - and now I look better than I've ever looked in my life. Also - I used resistance bands for all the pull-up exercises in these workouts (bought a band with a door attachment, in a very heavy weight) and got great results. It's wonderful if you have the space/set-up in your home for a pull-up bar, but just want to share that it's not an absolute must. The bands can get you great results.
