Tired of ineffective workouts that sound great but produce less-than-optimal results? Turn to the P90X Extreme Home Fitness system, 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. In addition to the 12 DVD workouts, the P90X comes with a comprehensive three-phase nutrition plan, specially designed supplement options, a detailed fitness guide packed with valuable information on how to get the most from your program, a How to Bring It DVD that provides a quick overview of the system, a calendar to track your progress, online peer support, and much more.

The DVD Workouts
Each of the 12 highly diverse and intense DVD workouts focuses on either a specific set of muscle groups or a unique training technique.

• Workout One: Chest & Back
  This superset chest-and-back-blasting workout emphasizes two classic upper-body exercises--push-ups and pull-ups--to build strength and develop shape. The combination of these two push and pull movements will help you burn loads of calories while simultaneously attacking, strengthening, and developing multiple muscle groups.
• Workout Two: Plyometrics
  Get ready to go airborne. Offering more 30 explosive jumping moves, this intense cardio routine will keep you in the air most of the time. Plyometrics, also known as jump training, has been proven to dramatically improve athletic performance. If your sport involves a ring, rink, field, court, or track, this training will give you the edge. Just be prepared to "bring it" for a full hour when you leap into this workout, because there is no letting up.
• Workout Three: Shoulders & Arms
  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. Whether you want to build muscle mass or just slim and tighten what you've already got, these targeted shoulder and arm exercises will give you the results you want.
• Workout Four: Yoga X
  Yoga is a vital part of any fitness regimen, and is an absolute must for an extreme program like P90X. This routine combines strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind. Yoga X will leave you feeling energized, invigorated, and maybe even a little enlightened.
• 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. During this workout you'll learn some of the most effective ways to defend yourself, while at the same time getting your body in peak condition.
• 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. Loaded with a variety of fun, unique, and challenging exercises, this routine will get you moving in all directions to maximize your P90X results.
• Workout Nine: Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps
  Packed with an array of moves that target both large and small muscles, this workout will do wonders for your upper body. In just one full sequence you'll get a healthy dose of presses, flys, and extensions to push you to the brink. The results will be a stronger, leaner, and highly defined upper torso that will leave you looking awesome, with or without a shirt.
• 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.
• Workout 11: Cardio X
  This low-impact cardio routine can be used in a variety of ways to meet your P90X goals. Use it in addition to your standard P90X workload when you want to burn some extra calories, or as a substitute if your body needs a break from the program's high-impact workouts. Whatever your reason for using Cardio X, you'll find it a fun, full-throttle, fat-burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean.
• Workout 12: Ab Ripper X
  The combination and sequence of movements in this unique workout taps into not only abdominal strength, but true core strength as well. Master these 11 highly effective exercises and you will achieve vital abdominal muscle strength to benefit your overall health and physical performance. You'll also develop that highly coveted six-pack as you take Ab Ripper X to full throttle. It's extreme work that's better than any machine in any club.

The Nutrition Plan
Following the P90X nutrition plan is just as vital to your overall success as any of the extreme workouts in this program. Specifically designed to work in tandem with the P90X workout routines, this three-phase eating plan recommends the perfect combination of foods to satisfy your body's energy needs every step of the way. P90X is not about quick fixes or miracle diets. It's about selecting the healthy foods that you want to eat, and determining the portion amounts that will provide your body with the right amount of fuel to excel during exercise. The P90X nutrition plan offers three phases.

• Phase 1: The Fat Shredder: A high-protein-based diet designed to help you strengthen your muscles while simultaneously and rapidly shedding fat from your body.
• Phase 2: The Energy Booster: A balanced mix of carbohydrates and proteins with a lower amount of fat to achieve additional energy for performance.
• Phase 3: The Endurance Maximizer: An athletic diet of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and lower fat, with the emphasis on more carbohydrates.

5.0 out of 5 stars great package, forget the bands, June 4, 2010

By 

Nyo - See all my reviews

This review is from: P90X Peak Results Package: Tony Horton's 90-Day Extreme Home Fitness Ultimate Results Package DVD Program (Misc.)

I love P90x, I have not regretted my purchase for a moment. This particular package comes with items that you may or may not want to use depending on your personal situation. For the workouts, what you do NOT get in this package which you will likely need are a chinup bar (I dont recommend the p90x bands for reasons below), a mat, multiple sets of weights or an adjustable set like the Powerblock ones (or use resistance bands). You dont need alot of space if you are creative - I lunge then pivot and lunge again in my tiny living room.

Pros: the dvds are fantastic, yes Tony does talk alot, but I prefer having someone to zone out listening to than have my inner monologue kick in during a silence, telling me how hard an exercise is. Tony's banter is a good distraction, although I am sure some disagree. The dvds are also great in that there is minimal time wasted in explaining an exercise before it is performed. This is great for repeat value since you don't get inordinately long pauses outside of the designated breaks while an instructor explains something before actually performing it - Tony walks around correcting the others or demonstrating the moves himself -while you are supposed to be doing it-, which I find a huge improvement from other programs and dvds I have tried.

The recovery drink. although much touted in the dvds, isn't something I use as frequently. When I do drink it I use a half portion, since I'm five foot four and quite slender, and the relatively few calories I can consume in a day I don't want to be wasting. That thing is just over 200 for the double scoop 'recommended' serving and quite frankly there is alot of sugar in it. Its definitely the best tasting of recovery drinks I have tried though.

The workout guide is excellent, it breaks down how you can do the classic routine, the lean routine (more cardio and somewhat less intense, for those who want to lose weight) or the 'doubles' routine, which is essentially the classic routine but with more cardio in the mid and later phases of the program. There is alot of detail, explanation and a breakdown of the workouts in each dvd.

The nutrition guide is something I havent delved into too deeply, but it does offer meal plans for every phase of the program as well as recipes. I have tried none of them, as I'm following my own nutrition plan while doing p90x.

Now, the resistance bands are my problem. For someone like myself without alot of hand strength, negotiating those things was a nightmare. Just trying to get the bands into the handles was impossible, so I threw them out and used a pair I had purchased from the fitness store nearby, along with a door attachment.

This is definitely an investment if you plan to work out at home and not use a gym nearby for the equipment. I have seen people bringing their laptops downstairs to the apartment gym and playing p90x while grabbing a bunch of weights and cordoning off their little area - if thats your thing, all power to you, but I personally don't like disrupting other peoples workout time with loud clamour from my dvds and by hogging a large number of weights. I made a $300 investment in good adjustable weights, a mat and a chinup bar that all fit in a tiny space when out of use at home, and I have seen results from as early as two weeks into the program. Be aware that if you do make this plunge, a HUGE part of your success will depend on drinking plenty of fluids, eating the right foods and AT THE RIGHT TIME. Don't waste all your hard work and your money by doing this half assed.

One final thing to remember, you should not dive into p90x without having some base level of fitness. I exercised 3 times a week for two months prior to starting this program and if I hadn't, I would never have made it through the plyometrics dvd which is something you are recommended to do from the very first week. Build up to this, I have seen some of my friends nearly collapse because they did not. And good luck!

So far so good, the P90X workout is intense and not for the faint of heart! However within tis package, the strength bands do not work well or at all! I have attempted to use all 3 that came in the package, and each time they have slipped out of the handles whacking me in the leg and almost the face. I will be contacting the seller to see if I can return these items. Outside of that I love the workouts and everything else that has come with it!
