 Welcome to the P90X  Extreme Home Fitness review

As I mentioned in my review of the Zumba dance workout, I have it in my routine to switch with another exercise program. The program which I am referring to here is the p90x Extreme Home Fitness.p90x Extreme home fitness Whilst I love the dancing using the ZUMBA Program,  I always would want to focus on my biceps, triceps,legs and back as well, which I think with P90X, does the job.

My site is about how to deal with tinnitus, and one of the ways I deal with it in my personal capacity is to do exercise. I find it extremely hard to make it regularly to the gym and these home based programs are the perfect solution.

Furthermore, the actual physical work done here helps me with my tinnitus as well as in other areas in my life. At the end of the day the choice is yours. Hey, look at it this way, the more options you have, the more hope there is. So lets get into in it!!!Ready!!


So, What is the P90X ?

This is a program that is created for people who would like to achieve a higher level of fitness, and is aimed at people who want to get into the best shape of their life.

Is this program for me?

Okay , I think I may have got you spooked when you read the word “extreme” and it sounds like you’re in some kind of boot camp.  Honestly speaking I was afraid and intimidated too. p90x extreme home fitness workoutBut as I went through the program starting off with the UML(upper , middle, lower) workout first, I found the host and trainer Tony Horton actually quite easy going and fun.

This trainer has an encouraging and witty approach, in which he tells you to do whatever you can and maintains this kind of attitude throughout every single workout. Of course, he is serious and disciplined at times, but if you look at it who else is going to give you that push to see what you are really made of.

There is also a Fit Test in the P90x Extreme home fitness guide that comes in your package, which you can do to see whether or not you are in a good enough condition to take on this program.

As with other workout programs, this one does carry a disclaimer along the following lines, ” P90X is an extreme fitness program and is designed for individuals  in top physical condition and health, p90x extreme home fitnessand therefore should NOT be attempted by someone who does not meet the minimum fitness requirements outlined in this book or by someone who has any history of health problems, including but not limited to heart, respiratory, knee, shoulder, or spinal(back or neck)problems.This warning must not be discounted. There are many fitness alternatives if you have any physical or health condition or are prone to injuries-but P90X is not one of them. The user assumes all risk of injury in the use of this program.”

So what is P90X all about?

It is a unique exercise program as it encompasses a total of 12 separate workouts containing hundreds of unique movements, taking your body to the next level.

Taking into account that we all come in different shapes and sizes and have different expectations regarding results, this program allows the workout to be tailored to suit each person to achieve their own desired goals.

Whichever one you choose, must for best results  be done over a period of 90days.

I have my personal favourites here , like the yoga, cardio x  and core synergistic. But the one I love the most is the Kenpo X.does p90x work

This one, I can do every day. You find yourself kicking, punching , jumping around and after 45 minutes you dripping all over the place, feeling like a million bucks!!! Its a fun and feel good workout.


Nutrition – eat right or why bother?

Isolating the workouts from nutrition is like driving a car with one flat tyre. You probably will get to your destination but in a much longer timeframe or you may not get there at ALL. “There is no comprising in this area, combining the right foods along with the sufficient amount of rest will allow P90X to propel you into the best shape of your life”.

The program comes with a separate book just focusing on nutrition planp90x extreme home fitness workout. This is actually a way of life and initially I found it hard within the first two months. But once you physically and mentally start feeling a difference, there is just no turning back.

The book covers a heap of information(which I think is a great “knowledge workout” on its own to read!..:-)).It covers aspects such as an excellent eating plan tailored to each phase of your 90day cycle, there are 3phases. I have recently decided to go the vegetarian/pescatarian(only eat fish) route regarding diet, so I had used substitutes for the “meat” part of the eating plan.

This focuses on the carbohydrate, protein and fat ratios within each phase. How to calculate your body fat percentage, this will be the main indicator of your success after 90days.General guidelines. determining your nutrition level and a daily journal is all part of this exciting read.


Supplements

“These are not classified as drugs and there main purpose is to assist with the mind and body to reach beyond  normal everyday activities. These supplements serve as shortcuts to speed up and further improve recovery after your workout. The 3 kinds that are recommended in the book are listed below.

  • P90X Health Formula : A complete multivitamin in a capsule form containing antioxidants, plant extracts, and other phytonutrients of which some cannot be obtained from a normal diet. Assists with stress, anti-aging,energy, immune support and cardiovascular function

 

  • P90X Results and Recovery Formula :  This great taste shake, packed with 40grams of carbs, 12grams of protein, B vitamins, minerals and creatine ,  should be taken within an hour after workout. This  is designed to repair, rebuild and gets your muscles adapted from the workout.

 

  • P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars : These bars have got 20grams of protein, no less than 7grams of fat and not more than 270calories.When you are unable to have a nutritious meal, theses bars serve an important component for growth and repair of muscle tissue”.

Pros and Cons

PROS

  • Convenience : All the workouts you ever need to do is right here(except dancing of course!!). There is no need to go to the gym, you just got to commit yourself to doing it.
  • Motivation : Tony is an awesome trainer, he motivates you and drives you to succeed.
  • Addictive :  You want to do more and more, the toughest part is starting it off.
  • Amateur/Pro :Whether a newbie to this style of workouts or if you have been in the game for a while, this program allows you to take your time and work to a level you feel most comfortable with and then move on.

CONS

  • Accessories : Over time I had to invest in certain accessories. Things like yoga blocks, push-up bars, gloves , workout bands and weights.
  • Space : Its really great to have a big physical space available to do the gyming, and not everybody has got this.
  • Price :  It was cheaper when I bought it a couple of years back.

    Does P90x work?

At the end of the day an investment in your health is most definitely an investment in your future. I say this because when you are fit and healthy, you will find that “you are more durable and less vulnerable” to challenges that face you everyday. A fit body and confident mind-set will take you places that you have never dreamed possible.

Does P90x work? My Answer is yes, the p90x does work. You got to work this program from a holistic point of view, watching the foods you take in, getting enough rest and drinking lots of water.

Set your mind to, DECIDE, COMMIT, SUCCEED.  For me its about taking care of myself to the best of my ability. As you may have heard the famous words,” Your HEALTH is your Wealth.”

    I will have to say the P90X program is a good one. Yes you are going to sweat, but sweating is good for you. I have participated in Zumba, as I worked in a gym part time for years, but stopped doing Zumba because I wanted definition. This ts the program to have if definition is what you are aiming for. Thanks for your review.

      Hi Ira

      Thank you kindly for your comment.

      Yes, totally agree P90x is for definition,you can get more physically in shape by focusing on toning individual areas like the biceps, triceps , legs and get a lovely ripped abs using the ab ripper.I love to incorporate the Zumba, so that I loosen up the muscles that may get stiff and break the routine up a bit.

      Variety for me makes it more exciting and I got something different to look forward to everyday.

      Regards and Take Care

    This is an informative review of the P90X workout program. It sounds like there is a lot of variety and this will prevent someone from getting bored with it. Do you feel that it has dramatically changed the way you feel? It also seems like a substantial commitment – what is the amount of time that you work out each day?

    • Roopesh

      Hi Jeff

      Thank you for your questions.

      Most definitely the variety from doing different workouts on a daily basis makes me look forward to working out and certainly does not feel like a drag or a monotonous cycle.

      Yes, it has dramatically changed the way I feel in a sense that I am more confident and this confidence has allowed me to deal with the tinnitus in a more positive way.

      The amount of time ranges from one hour to an hour and a half per day.It just depends which workout is scheduled for the day.

      Hope this answers your questions.

      Kind regards and Take Care.

    P90x changed my life! Great review. What did you find was the hardest workout for you personally? For me it was the Yoga X for sure. It seemed to last ages lol. I think it was something like 90 minutes! I know they fixed this in P90x3. Also how was your experience with customer service? Was that included in the overall rating?

    • Roopesh

      Hi Bo.Yes the Yoga was a challenge but it’s an awesome feeling once you are done with the entire workout.I choose the P90x Lean routine, and found the ‘ Chest, shoulders & triceps,’ disc 08, a mother of a workout,especially the ‘Dive Bomb pushup’

      The rating is based on my personal rating.I had no interaction with customer service at all.

      Hope this answers your question.

      Kind Regards

    This is a great review of P90X. I’ve done a few workouts from this program when my sister was doing it. The workouts are hard but doable. These workouts will definitely help you get results if you stick to it. I especially like the fact that they incorporate muscle confusion by utilizing so many different movements. I’ve always been a big fan of this technique.

    • Roopesh

      Hi Luke

      Terribly sorry for the late reply.

      Glad you enjoyed the review.Yes, some of these workouts are extreme and test you.Like you said, after doing them you will feel accomplished and certainly see the results.

      Another thing about this muscle confusion, is that it works with doing different routines on a daily basis. This also makes the workouts less boring and monotous.

      Thanks for your comment.

      All the best to you.

    Hi Roopesh. I’ve been so busy with work recently that I just don’t have time to go the gym. I started doing my own workouts in the morning before work – press ups, squats, lunges, situps.. I am already seeing the benefits and I’m getting my workout done quicker than if I had to go to the gym.
    If I want to see better gains that will last, I need a structured program. I looked around at different home workout programs and P90x is the best one out there. Thanks for the post – very informative!

    • Roopesh

      Hey Michael

      I am happy for you.Whether you started at home or go to the gym, the point is that you started to take care of your body.

      I agree with you, having a structured program, makes a big difference.You get a chance to work out the different muscle components and feel a greater difference.

      P90x offers this variety and burn and it’s fun and exciting.

      Thanks for sharing

    I used to do some p90x workouts when I first got into fitness. There were videos laying around the house from someone else and I figured I’d stop being lazy and give it a try. They make your whole body so sore! And you really work up a sweat. I’d recommend this for any groups of people who aren’t experienced lifters.

    • Roopesh

      Hi Gina

      They certainly do give your body a whole workout.And you definitely sweat it out.What I particularly like about it, is the fact that there is a variety going on, so one does not get bored.Its not routine, it’s different and exciting.

      Thanks for stopping by.

      Cheers

      Roopes
