Why is it effective?

Many people get frustrated when they’re working out day after day but not seeing faster progress—that’s what’s known as the plateau effect. Trainer Tony Horton invented the science of Muscle ConfusionTM for P90X, specifically to shatter these plateaus.In P90X Tony continually switches up your routine, constantly adding new exercises during the program’s 3 phases. This variety challenges your muscles and keeps them from getting accustomed to the workouts over time. Instead of leveling off, your body keeps improving—without you getting stuck or bored.And because you’re working different muscles in different ways with each workout, P90X makes it possible for you to “Bring It” hard every day, without the pain or injury that often comes from repetitive motion.

 

What makes P90X unique?

Most in-home workout programs offer only one kind of fitness training. But the 12 DVDs in P90X give you intense cross-training with 5 hard-core resistance routines, 3 fat-scorching cardio routines, and 2 ab-ripping routines, as well as extreme yoga and advanced flexibility. You work all your muscles, from every possible angle, using many different techniques. Whether you want to lean out, bulk up, or get ripped, there are endless ways to mix and match the routines to keep you motivated for the full 90 days and beyond.The other thing that makes P90X unique is Tony Horton himself. Not only is he an experienced trainer who’s devised the most efficient ways to get your body into peak shape, he’s incredibly engaging and inspiring, constantly encouraging you to “do your best and forget the rest.” He’s also been known to crack the odd—and we do mean odd—joke from time to time. Imagine a cross between a demanding drill sergeant and a standup comic. You’re pretty close.
