P90X

P90X claims that by using muscle confusion and 12 different workouts, you will be able to lose more weight and achieve even greater results than ever before. They claim that you will never actually go into any sort of plateau, and you will go from ordinary to ripped in those simple 90 days, more than any other workout plan has really delivered before. This product line has been quite popular despite its high cost. But does P90X actually work?

The Good

P90X does work. It transforms people’s bodies, because you never get set into any one workout routine. Therefore, you never hit a plateau effect just as they claim. They work you up, work out your muscles to an extreme degree, and therefore you get the related results, even getting a diet plan to go with it.

The Bad

There are only so many workouts. You work your way up. So after 90 days, you have no lifestyle change, no exercise plan, and obviously you can’t very well go back down. This is not a plan that anybody can actually maintain. Therefore, people go back to their old habits and their old bodies, and frankly it doesn’t work in the long run. You will just experience weight rebound.

The Skinny

We would not recommend using P90X. Yes, it seems appealing at first. But it doesn’t last. P90X delivers highly temporary results, and frankly it isn’t burning as much fat as you would think. It costs quite a bit, over $100, especially with the $19.95 shipping. It just seems smaller because they do a $39.95 payment plan. Don’t waste your money on P90X.
