Common sense says that it can take months and months
to really feel and see the effects of a workout regimen.
However, for those who want to start seeing immediate results
of their efforts, who want to lose weight fast, and who want to
cut the fat without mercy, one of the most popular products
on the market is the P90X cross-training system.
However, just what it is and how it works is something that not a lot of people understand fully.
How Does The P90X System Work?
The P90X workout system pushes the central, core idea of muscle confusion, referred to by most
people as cross-training. The idea is fairly simple. According to the central tenet of muscle confusion
doctrine, regular exercise routines allow the body to adjust fairly quickly, which means that fitness
turns into a plateau. This leads to no more fat being burned, no more muscle being built, etc.
So the goal is to use cross training, which works different muscles on different days through different
methods to make sure that the body is always scrambling to keep up with the exercise.
This means there’s a constant burn that can lead to an increase in fitness.
How Many Different Routines Are There in P90X?
P90X uses a variety of different workouts for those who want to exercise to lose weight, including
calisthenics, martial arts, weight training and yoga to achieve the proper effects of fitness on those
who go through the routines. In order to make sure that someone’s muscles remain confused though
the P90X system comes with 12 different routines for users to go through. The goal is to through
these particular programs in the proper order so that certain parts of the body get worked hard,
but never with any predictability. This ensures that the muscles get worked properly, and that
there’s results seen fast. Ideally one can get slim and trim in 90 days, hence the name P90X.
Is It All Just Exercise?
How well the P90X program works will depend largely on how much shape someone is already in.
For those who aren’t in any appreciable shape or working on any kind of routine, P90X will show
immediate results. For those who are already in good shape and who are looking to get over that
hump and start losing weight and trimming their muscles again, the results might be a little slower,
but no less noticeable.
However, P90X is a program that’s about a lot more than a unique exercise program.
It’s been said that abs are built in the gym, but a 6 pack is made in the kitchen. The P90X program
knows this, and it’s why it has a very specific set of nutritional and dietary guidelines that come
along with the program as well. By combining both aspects of the program, someone will see more
results than they would just by following a single aspect faithfully. While many people will see
results from following one or the other, the combination will render results that are greater
than the sum of their component parts. It’s that combination that has made P90X such a success
over the years, and why people keep coming back to it over and over again.
