P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program.
P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program, is a home exercise system developed by Tony Horton in conjunction with Beachbody, which aims for an improved physique in 90 days through rigorous interval training. The program emphasizes full-body fitness, and consists of cardiovascular, strength training, and stretching exercises divided into three 30-day phases, combined with a nutrition and optional supplementation plan.
P90X stresses the importance of “muscle confusion” (a term for adding variety through cross-training and periodization), so it switches the order of exercises and incorporates new movements during each phase. According to Horton, muscle confusion prevents the body from adapting to exercises over time, resulting in continual improvement without plateaus.
P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program is an intensive 90-day home fitness program that combines a variety of exercise styles, including strength training, cardio,and stretching. The system also stresses overall fitness by including bodyweight exercises such as pull-ups and push-ups, as well as plyometrics (jump training), yoga,and kenpo. Most of the workouts are just under an hour in length, and feature Tony Horton as instructor and motivational leader along with 3 or 4 fellow exercisers as backup.
Product Description.
Tired of ineffective workouts that sound great but produce less-than-optimal results? Turn to the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program, a bundle of 12 sweat-inducing, muscle-pumping workouts designed to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. Hosted by personal trainer Tony Horton, the series of DVDs will help you get lean, bulk up, or grow stronger, with an endless variety of mix-and-match routines to keep you motivated. The secret behind the P90X system is an advanced training technique called “muscle confusion,” which accelerates the fitness process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so that your body never plateaus and you never get bored. The more you confuse the muscle, the harder your body has to work to keep up. And the more variety you put into your workout, the better and faster your results will be. By breaking old routines and opening new doors, secondary and tertiary muscles are constantly being activated and developed.

Nothing rounds out the perfect physique like a pair of well-defined arms and shoulders, and with its potent combination of pressing,curling, and fly movements, this routine will leave you feeling stronger and looking sexier.

Workout Five: Legs & Back. Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other. While the main focus of this workout lies in strengthening and developing the leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), there are also a handful of great pull-up exercises to give your legs a quick breather while you work the upper body.
Workout Six: Kenpo X. Kenpo X was created to give P90X users a high-intensity cardiovascular workout packed with lots of punching and kicking combinations to improve balance, endurance, flexibility, and coordination.

Workout Seven: X Stretch. Stretching is the one thing that will help you achieve a higher level of athleticism over a longer period of time. The X Stretch routine is an integral part of the program, as it helps prevent injuries and avoid plateaus. The extensive full-body stretches that make up this routine use disciplines from Kenpo karate, hatha yoga, and various sports to ensure that your body is fully prepared to meet all P90X challenges head-on.
Workout Eight: Core Synergistics. Each and every exercise in the Core Synergistics workout recruits multiple muscle groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your body from head to toe.

Workout 10: Back & Biceps. With a host of curls and pull-ups, this routine will make it fun to flex those powerful biceps. But don’t worry, ladies–by using lighter weight, you can focus on toning and tightening these showcase arm muscles without adding the size that most guys covet. Additionally, this workout also provides some great back definition that everyone can appreciate. Regardless of your goals, you will achieve them in dramatic fashion if you dig in and max out your reps.

Satisfied Customers.
“I agree with all of the postive reviews described earlier for this product. This is the only “infomercial” product that I have ever purchased, and I did so because I could tell it was the real deal. No quick fixes, just a solid plan to follow for someone who is willing to work hard” Kailua Dude (Honolulu, Hawa)
“A great aspect of this workout program is the fact that you need very little to actually use it.
A few dumbbells you can find at Wal-Mart, a 10 dollar door frame chin-up bar and a good, strong chunk of willpower is just about all you need. If you’re like me and wanted to get something to use on the road while you’re away from your basement gym, this is perfect.
If you don’t have a basement gym, this is still perfect.
Not everyone has the same body type, and the people performing for you on this DVD reflect that. The people run the gambit of body types, from taller and bigger to leaner. It does a great job showing results possible for several different body types.
A warning, this workout set will kick your body HARD at first. You will not be able to finish most of the workouts, don’t hurt yourself trying to. Go as far as your muscles will allow you (your muscles will literally stop working. You will reach “failure” and that’s what you want.) and then stop. Rest.” Jam
“This was the first in home workout I have ever done and thought I would never do one.But for some reason this one caught my attention and has held it. I am in my second round of this workout and using the food plan this time. The first time I lost 8 inches around my chest and waist and a good deal of weight, and that was without the food plan. i did not eat nachos everynight but I did follow the workouts…
Let me say this, I was overweight and way out of shape, and found it hard to get started, but with motivation and determination that this place provides I am almost a year into my weight loss and I have kept it off.
I have faltered and fell at times, only to get back on the wagon, and I have to say this without sounding cheesy…but this thing really changed my life.
If you get this be sure to get bands or a pull up bar…it will make a huge differance” Philip Longmire “phill” (Sugar Land, TX)
