Get Fit Without Hitting The Gym With The P90X

By Shelly Maxim


Many people who are busy and don't have the budget to frequent the gym often resort to home workout videos. It's due to this fact why they're highly popular. Also, there are so many of them available out there currently. The P90X is just one of these products that let you get in shape right in the privacy of your home.

Fitness experts agree that the best way to get rid of excess calories and fats is by burning them through performing cardiovascular exercises. And it's just exactly what this product provides you with, plus a few more routines for variety and maximizing results. This product comes from Beachbody, a company famous for its fitness-related offerings like fitness videos, exercise equipment and nutritional supplements.

For 90 days, the 12 DVDs got your fitness needs covered. To make it easier for you to keep track of your development, a workout calendar is around. Such also makes it easier to know which DVD has to be put in the player for the day. Also included is a 90-day nutrition plan that offers healthy meal suggestions while you're in the program.

The person behind this home fitness video is Tony Horton. He's in each and every DVD, acting as your very own trainer. Because he works as such in real life, he knows how to push you the right way. If you're wondering why his name sounds familiar, that's due to the fact that he also appeared in many other workout videos. Some of them include Tony and the Folks, 10-Minute Trainer, Great Body Guaranteed and Power Half Hour.

Muscle confusion is considered as the heart of the program. Because of this, you can expect that the routines to be performed and their intensities to constantly vary. Expect to be performing a variety of cardiovascular exercises to raise your metabolic rate. Alongside them are yoga moves, ab workouts and plyometrics. Plyometrics involve swift yet powerful movements.

Why muscle confusion is essential is because it prevents the plateau effect from surfacing. This is something one who's into losing weight must avoid. It happens when the body gets used to the exercises you're giving it that it's no longer challenged. Because of this, no improvement takes place. Thanks to muscle confusion, the body is constantly challenged by the varying routines and intensity.

Another plus point is you can have your daily workout in just an hour or less, making it suitable for time-crunched individuals. However, you need to provide your own tools in performing some of the routines around. They include exercise and yoga mats, yoga blocks, resistance bands or a set of dumbbells, and a bar which you may use for doing pull-ups.

Again, also included with the purchase of the P90X is a nutritional plan good for 90 days, also designed by Tony Horton. It's divided into 3 stages, each designed to go together with the workout routines in the DVDs. The first stage focuses on protein for fat-blasting effect. The last couple of stages introduce more complex carbohydrates to boost the body's energy levels. The diet plan also recommends the intake of protein bars and various types of shakes for optimum results.
