P90X: What Is It?

Posted on Oct 16th 2009 3:15PM by AOL Health Editors
P90X is a workout plan designed by trainer Tony Horton which aims to help users get in shape in 90 days. According to the creators, P90X uses "an advanced training technique called Muscle Confusion, which accelerates the results process by constantly introducing new moves and routines so your body never plateaus."

P90X is a set of DVDs which include 12 different workouts that focus on a specific muscle group or set of exercises. In addition to workouts, the P90X comes with a three-phase nutrition plan. Phase 1 is the Fat Shredder, a high-protein diet; phase 2 is the Energy Booster, a mix of carbohydrates and proteins with a lower amount of fat; and Phase 3 is the Endurance Maximizer, a diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins and lower fat, which includes more carbohydrates than the previous phases. There is also a "How to Bring It" DVD that provides a quick overview of P90X, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support and more.
