One of the caveats of P90X is that it is intended for those with some sort of fitness background. If you are a beginner to exercise, it is not suggested that you begin with P90X; however, if you are ready to take your fitness routine up a notch, this is definitely a program you will appreciate.
What many who purchase P90X are not aware of is that there are different approaches to the program. P90X comes with a choice of three different workout schedules so you can tailor the program to fit your exact fitness goals. If you prefer to start off slow and want to stick with the basics, your best option is to go with the P90X Classic Workout Schedule.
The other two options are the Lean and Doubles Workout Schedules. All three schedules vary when it comes to the number of resistance versus cardiovascular workouts that you will be doing each week during the ninety day training period. One variant that is constant is the single rest day you get with P90X. Whether you opt for the Classic, Lean or Doubles, you will only get one rest day per week. The beauty and a definite perk of purchasing a program such as P90X with three different workout schedules is that you can do the program three times and, each time, achieve different results.
The program is extremely versatile and can help virtually anyone meet their fitness goals. This includes using free weights, dumbbells, barbells , resistance bands, pull up bars and exercise balls. The other three days you will be doing cardiovascular and yoga workouts. The Lean Workout Schedule is geared towards those that prefer cardio activity.
It is intended to help you lean out and burn fat faster. It has less of a focus on building muscle and more on cutting your muscles to make them more prevalent. With the Lean Workout Schedule, you will do cardio and yoga workouts for four days, resistance training for two days and you will have one rest or stretch day.
The Doubles Workout Schedule is exactly what the name says. It has you doing double workouts each day. You will work out with the Classic Workout Schedule for the first thirty days on the Doubles Schedule. After that, from day 31 — 90, you will be adding a strength workout in the morning and a cardio workout in the evening.
The Doubles Workout Schedule is extremely intense and was designed to give you the best results in the shortest amount of time. I'm on my first recovery week and wow I already feel so much better and am seeing some really nice results.
My posture is better, my muscles are not only stronger, but noticeably bigger. I'm trying to gain mass, not lose weight. Yes, i know there are better ways to do this than p90x but I am thoroughly enjoying p90x and it's what I have right now. So since i'm looking to gain, cardio isn't as much of a priority for me. Although I do like it a lot.
