Review of each of the 12 P90X Workouts. Time invovled, moves and a review.

P90X video fitness plan is no TV gimmick: A Stretching Out column

Flip on the TV, read a magazine, search the Internet. Everywhere you look, there’s an ad for P90X. If you’re engaged with fitness, you’ve been exposed.

What’s more, the ads are highly alluring: chiseled bodies against stark, black-and-white backgrounds. Who can resist?

Here’s the thing, though: The program actually works. Behind the promotional smoke and mirrors is an effective, well-designed regimen of home-based exercise built on sound physiological principles. One month in and already I’m noticing real differences.

My Review:
I have had the hardest time with this workout. It maybe because of the whole idea of working multiple muscle groups at the same time. If you are doing the Classic version of P90X you will not see this workout until the recovery week. After my own time of haveing it rough with this workout I can now do it in it’s entirety and get a really good burn from it. I burn about 500 calories with this workout. Each and every move in this workout will engage your abs, glutes, chest and back. Tony’s tip for this workout is “engage”. You need to engage each of the formentioned muscle groups during each move. You will only need light dumbbells for this workout as most of the moves use your own body weight as resistance. I keep a steady heart rate of about 122 and peak at about 164. I now find myself enjoying this workout and look forward to it in each recovery week.
