If you are sitting on the fence about P90x and want an easy to understand explanation about how it works, keep on reading, as this page is for you.
P90x – How Does It Work?
Lets start at the beginning. At the start, one of the first things you do is you figure out how many calories a day you should be eating. The Nutrition Guide that is included with P90x tells you how to do this. Once you do that, you decide which nutrition plan you want to follow.
P90x Nutrition Plans
- Phase 1 Fat Shredder - has you eat a lot of protein and not so much carbs and fats.
- Phase 2 Energy Booster – has you eat more carbs than the previous phase.
- Phase 3 Endurance Maximizer – has you eat more carbs and low calorie fats than the previous two.
The Nutrition Guide gives you a list of foods you can eat and then tells you, depending on what Nutrition phase you are on, how much of what you can eat.
Many people that do P90x and want to lose weight, choose to start with the Fat Shredder plan first, then in month 2 the Energy Booster plan, then in month 3 the Endurance Maximizer.
Others that don’t have weight to lose, may only do the Fat Shredder plan for a couple of weeks, and then move on to the next phase.
P90x Workouts – Bring It!
There are 12 P90x workout DVDs, and it doesn’t have you start with DVD 1 and then go down the line. There is a system involved, that was created to stave off plateau. This system uses a concept called “muscle confusion”.
You follow a workout schedule that changes each month. The idea behind this is that by varying the workouts, results will come faster because the body won’t adapt to the workouts to the point that results are slow in coming and a plateau is reached.
There are three routines you can choose to follow, depending on what you want to achieve from P90x.
- P90x Classic – The classic routine is the regular program.
- P90x Lean – The lean routine has more of an emphasis on cardio.
- P90x Doubles – The doubles routine is like the classic version, but it has extra cardio, so on some days you do two workouts in a day.
Once you pick the version you want to do you consult the workout schedule which will tell you what DVD to follow on that day. Every 30 days the program changes to the next phase. You start with phase 1, then after 30 days switch to phase 2, and then you end with the phase 3 workout routine.
After 90 days when you finish, you can marvel at your results. However, don’t stop there! Fitness is a journey and not a destination, so if you stop, you will lose your hard earned results.
After 90 days you can mix it up and start a different P90x routine, or stay on the same one, continuing to press play, and using your great results as motivation to work even harder!
The P90x system works by providing for you a healthy nutrition plan, and a grueling workout schedule to follow.
Insert the DVD for the day, follow the nutrition plan, and bring it! You will be amazed with your results!

Well this is a really shitty product for its price, I just torrented the DVD’s…
Justiin- so what you’re saying is that you stole the program of a torrent site and moments later without using it you’ve proclaimed it a shitty project. I think we’re all reading ya loud and clear man. Load and clear.
Sounds like Justin couldn’t hack it
