P90X is a weight loss system created by Beach Body, a company that offers other weight reduction programs such as Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam. This system claims to get your body from “regular to ripped in just 90 days.” P90X consists of 12 workout routines (a series of DVDs), a 3-phase nutrition plan, unique supplement options, a fitness guide, a progress calendar and online support. Tony Horton is the “personal trainer” for this specific weight loss program. There is a 100% 90-day satisfaction guarantee offered with P90X.
The key to this program’s effectiveness is stated to be “muscle confusion,” which basically means that numerous exercises are incorporated and encouraged to keep different muscle groups doing different things as much as possible. This way there is no “plateau” effect. Therefore the muscles do not get used to the routines and they continue to develop. The workout programs are named after the muscle groups that they work out, and these are: Chest and Back, Shoulders and Arms, Yoga X, Plyometrics, Legs and Back, Kenpo X, Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, Back and Biceps, Core Synergistics, Ab Ripper X, Cardio X and X Stretch. There are success stories posted on the official P90X website. This fitness program is stated to take one hour each day. A few additional supplies needed for P90X are resistance bands or dumbbells and a pull-up bar/place to perform pull-ups.

 Exactly what they promise |
| Review Date: April 16, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Garvinstomp, Chicago or LA |
First off, I do agree with the previous reviewer that there are certain elements missing in this series. The production quality seems to have taken a hit and the overall feel isn't at grand or dynamic as the first group. BUT. . .
These new workouts are more intense and will push you beyond the originals. They are more complicated than the previous series. But the moves in this system are no joke. The abs/core disc is worth the price of admission alone. I got these before I finished going through the classic a second time, so I substituted the new Kenpo for the old one in the "classic" timeline. The new one is much better as it keeps the pacing up where the first one tended to slow down towards the end. The full body is a great addition. The best part I've found is the mixing and matching of the old series and the new. It makes for some great weeks of working out.
So yes, it is more complicated and less visually friendly (although some member of the band Chicago wrote the music for the new series, a fact they are VERY proud to remind you of), but the workouts are 5-star through and through. Just a reminder, these are supplements to the original series and don't replace all the previous workouts. To buy just these would not be to have a complete set of workouts. |
A good addition to the P90X set

This is a great addition, if you complete P90X and want more. The two major improvements are Interval X, which mixes well with Plyometrics, and Kenpo-Cardio, which is an improvement from the original Kenpo X. You can throw away the old Kenpo -- you won't need it any more.
I also like Abs Core, which also mixes in well with Ab Ripper X.
These workouts are just a little shorter, which works well with my schedule. They are a bit more intense, but I am not sure that you get any better workout at the end of the day because they are a little shorter.
I also agree that the exercises are a bit more complex. While this bothered me at the beginning, I got over it, and got comfortable with the routines. I also agree with the comment that there is a degree less leg work in terms of resistance training. However, keep in mind that you are still working in all the original workouts, so you still get some leg work.
Again, you only need to consider this purchase after you have fully completed a full 90 rotation of P90X. But it is a very good edition, and I would encourage anyone in fairly good shape to do the P90X series. |
P90X plus is an excellent supplement to P90X!

| P90X plus is an excellent supplement to P90X to aid muscle confusion and develop overall fitness. My experience is that it focuses more on core and overall fitness and less on muscle building, promoting a lean muscularity. There are many high rep exercises that continue for a period of time, which translates into a lot of reps (i.e., far more than the 8-10 reps that optimally build muscle mass). I have achieved good results doing a full 90 day P90X cycle to bulk up, then doing a month of P90X plus to cut and lean out. I think that this combination keeps me from getting too bulky while building total body strength, fitness and "gristle." |

| Great set of workouts and is consistent with the regular p90x. The workouts are a little bit shorter which i like and the intensity of the workouts have been increased quite a bit too. Overall, another great set of workouts and worth buying if you've already done the regular p90x. |
P90X Plus fits in perfectly with P90X workouts.

| First off Tony Horton is great. He does a great job, he is funny as hell and makes the workouts enjoyable. P90X was excellent and so is P90X plus. We should all feel fortunate to have Tony Horton and P90X/P90X plus, as well as One-on-One with Tony Horton. Why anyone would want to spend money on a personal trainer at a gym when you have these DVD's is beyond me. The only complaints I have is similar to some other reviewers. The moves require a little more to get use to and they do not give you enough time to write down your reps and weight. But both are easily solved with watching them do the move and reversing a little or pause to get weights and write down reps/weight. I bought my P90X and P90X Plus from beachbody.com website. P90X Plus cost me $59.95 and Push up stands $39.95. I like Amazon but why not go straight to the source for these products. Everything arrived within 5 days (and I live in Hawaii). I am 49 years old and in the best shape ever. Buying P90X products are the smartest move anyone can make. |
