DOES P90X WORK?

Yes. Answer # 1: Muscle Confusion

P90X is based on the proven and effective training principle called “muscle confusion” Muscle confusion is all about having variety in your workout routines: variety of sets, reps, and rest times in order to avoid reaching a plateau. Most fitness programs are constantly using the same routines over and over, which causes results to diminish over time and your workouts to become more ineffective.

With P90X you will work your muscles from different angles and in different sequences. The P90X workout program includes 12 hour long workout routines that are combined into multiple phases. In addition, PX90 has special program variations and workout combination for those seeking to either lean or bulk up. So girls, don’t be afraid to try out P90X.

Answer # 2: P90X Nutrition

Proper nutrition is a fundamental requirement in any workout program. That is why the P90X in-home workout program includes a comprehensive nutrition guide called the P90X 3 Phase Nutrition Plan.

The 114 page P90X Nutrition Guide is designed to work in lock step with your 90 day workout program. The guide includes P90X meal plans, P90X recipes, daily serving charts and much, much more.

The P90X Nutrition Plan is broken into three phases, and it’s your understanding of the role of each phase and how to tailor them to your own needs that will determine how effective your diet will be. For example: the first phase is the ‘Fat Shredder’, and is based on a high protein, low carb ratio. This is great for sedentary people looking to transition into a more active lifestyle and shed pounds, but not for athletes who already have a low body fat composition. Why? Because carbs are your source of energy. Sedentary people have much greater reserves than lean, athletic people, reserves they will be forced to burn to maintain their level of activity. And the fit people? They’ll ‘bonk’, which means crash and run out of energy. Clearly each group needs to be in this phase for a different length of time.
