12 Dynamic Extreme Workout DVDs

P90X the extreme home fitness program that can have you ripped in 90 days has 12 dynamic action-packed DVDs at its core. The program is a combination of 3-phase workout and nutrition plan that pulls no punches. This is not for sissies.

Tony Horton of Beach Body fame and creator of the P90x system bases his carefully designed workouts on his theory of Muscle Confusion. Horton hinges each workout on the notion that your muscles must work harder and be engaged in more complex movements in order to work at their maximum potential.

Features of the P90X DVDs

The DVDs guide you through nearly every form of exercise: cardio, core, strength, yoga, martial arts, plyometrics, and stretching. Each is carefully choreographed to ensure each muscle group as you engage it is challenged to its maximum. The moves are not easy, but Horton is expert at enthusiastically encouraging you whether you can do 35 pushups or barely crank out one. Best yet is Horton uses his small workout crew to show you variations on each move so everyone, from novice to pro, can participate.

Each video runs close to 1 full hour, but you spend the first 5 to 10 minutes in a warm-up and the last 5 to 10 in a cool-down, so you’re not full-tilt for the entire hour.

The 12 DVDs included in the P90X system:

• Chest and Back is pure grunt pushups and pull-ups in as many ways to do them as you can imagine. You don’t even need a chin-up bar to participate. Horton always shows you multiple ways to achieve the exercise goal. In this case you can use an over the door stretch band as substitute for the pull-up bar, which works you out just as well.
• Plyometrics is jump-training. If you’ve never done this type of workout, fasten your seat belt. This routine gets you airborne and firing all muscle groups. Dynamic.
• Yoga X is intense yoga, included for its agility and nimbleness, as well as relaxation, coordination, and focus.
• Legs and Back is packed with lunge and squat variations til the cows come home. You’ll want to sit awhile after this one.
• Kenpo X is one of the most dynamic vids in this set. The routine is a marriage of martial arts—punching, kicking—and cardio. This is a non-stop 40+ mins. plus warm-up and –down. You’ll breath hard and sweat like mad.
• Cardio, Core Synergistics, Arms and Shoulders, X Stretch, Back and Biceps, Chest, Shoulder and Triceps, and Ab Ripper X round out the package.

This program has won an intense army of followers many of whom have transformed their bodies and minds in 90 days using this exact system.
