Since it was launched, P90X has caused a storm of excited chat across the internet. It's TV promo's promised a lot. Demos of the workout routine performed by extremely fit bodies. But, I wanted to know if this workout program really worked on us ordinary people. I decided that it was time to find the answer to the question that so many of us wanted to know, Does P90X work?

I expect you might be wondering "Why is this guy so interested?". Well, like a lot of folks, I started to experience the incredibly low feeling of realizing that my body had started to show the first signs of entering a new phase of my life, know as Middle Age - Yikes!

I must emphasize that I didn’t avoid physical exercise altogether. I did what I thought was enough, but this effort wasn't suited to my new (older) body condition. Despite jogging and doing the occasional push-ups, I noticed my physique slip further and further away from the adonis-like appearance of the typical male underwear models that we all get bombarded with on ads and polished TV commercials. I needed to make a serious change in order to get into shape. It was time for action!



So, I searched the web for information about the best home workout programs. I needed to follow a program that I could do at home, because it wasn’t convenient for me to join a gym. Besides, I would also have less distractions working out at home. Anyway, while perusing the various exercise forums, one name kept cropping up over and over... Tony Horton. He was an exercise guru who had already established himself as one of the best fitness trainers in the business. He had already trained stars such as Billy Idol, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen. More recently, he has trained multiple-Grammy-winner Usher Raymond and actor Ewan McGregor. In the early millennium, a company by the name of BeachBody hired Tony Horton to produce a home workout program called Power 90. The “90” referred to the amount of time needed to follow the program in order to get your body into great shape, and gain dramatic improvements in your fitness level. But in order to bring their customers up to the next level of fitness, not that dissimilar to professional athletes and gymnasts you’d see watching the Olympics, BeachBody had to really shift their workouts up a gear into a whole new level of fitness . So, Tony Horton was brought in again to create “Power 90 Extreme”, the more extreme version of “Power 90”. It’s name was shortened to “P90X”.  

P90X reviews

After a quick search it wasn’t hard to find some good P90X reviews. It seemed that P90X had transformed some overweight people with high levels of body fat, and had also worked on people who were just generally out of shape. Many of these out of shape people were fairly skinny too, but the P90X program had not only made them extremely fit, but it had also enabled them to build a lot of lean, well defined muscle.

The twelve DVD workouts include:

1 ... Chest and Back
2 ... Plyometrics
3 ... Shoulders and Arms
4 ... Yoga X
5 ... Legs and Back
6 ... Kenpo X
7 ... X Stretch
8 ... Core Synergistics
9 ... Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
10 . Back and Biceps
11 . Cardio X
12 . Ab Ripper X

P90X results

I have to say that the before and after photos of the overweight users really did impress me the most. It also seemed that P90X had helped transform women who had lost their shape after going through pregnancy. One of the advantages of P90X is it’s Nutrition Plan. I think that this in combo with the strict but exhilarating workouts are the key to it’s success, and the incredible P90X results.



Another thing that I like about P90X is that if you return it within 30 days, there is a no questions asked 100% refund, and you can even KEEP the Nutrition Plan (book) and the DVD workout Ab Ripper X, just for trying the program. So, to answer the question... does P90X work? It seems that to an overwhelming number of online reviewers the answer is Yes! But even if you buy it and then decide that it’s not for, you can simply return it, so the customer really has nothing to lose.
