P90X is a weight loss system created by Beach Body, a company that offers other weight reduction programs like Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam. P90X is the system that claims to have your body transforms from “regular to ripped in just 90 days.”
It consists of 12 workout routines in DVDs, a 3-phase nutrition plan, unique supplement options, a fitness guide, a progress calendar and online support. The developer, Tony Horton, is the “personal trainer” for this specific weight-loss program.
P90X is offered through their official website for three monthly installments of $39.95. They also give you a 100% 90-day satisfaction guarantee with the package.
Muscle confusion
The program’s effectiveness hinges on what is named “muscle confusion”. This means that numerous exercises are incorporated (and encouraged) to keep the different muscle groups doing many different things, as much as possible.
Because of the number of exercise variations incorporated, P90X confuses the muscles. With this, the body becomes stronger, slimmer and more physically fit without the use of any pill.
This is because the “plateau effect” is avoided. The muscles do not get used to the routines therefore continue to develop. Recommended to be done one hour each day, P90X had earned many successful stories posted on its official website.

The respective workout programs are named after the specificmuscle groups being worked out . These are Chest and Back, Shoulder and Arms, Yoga X, Plyometrics, legs and Back, Kenpo X, chests Shoulders and Triceps, Back and Biceps, Core Synergistics, Ab Ripper X, Cardio X and X Stretch.
A few additional hardware bits are needed for P90X – resistance bands, or dumbbells and a pull-up bar to perform pull-ups.

Disadvantages
