The system was developed by [[Tony Horton (exercise instructor)|Tony Horton]], [[Beachbody Inc.|Beachbody]] CEO Carl Daikeler, Beachbody Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards, nutritionist Carrie Wyatt, Creative Director Ned Farr, and workout video director [[Mason Bendewald]]. |

[[File:Tony Horton and fans.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Fitness professional Tony Horton developed the P90X system]] |
|||
In 2002, Daikeler tasked Horton to create a fitness program for people who were already fit. Daikeler hired Ned Farr to document the process of developing the new program, giving a "look behind the curtain." Development took two years. Horton consulted various fitness experts and experimented with several disciplines before selecting 12 workouts. The program was tested and refined with several 90-day test groups. Farr's video diary documentary originally appeared every month on Beachbody's website and can now be found on YouTube. |
|||
In 2004, the completed program was released, and an [[infomercial]] was made using some of the documentary footage. |
|||
Farr continues to use a documentary approach to the infomercials, using raw home footage supplied by P90X graduates. "P90X: The Proof" infomercial won a [[Telly Award|Telly award]] in 2009{{fact|date=January 2013}} and "P90X: The Answer" infomercial won a [[Santa Monica Film Festival|Moxie award]] in 2010.{{fact|date=January 2013}} |
|||
P90X is Beachbody's best-selling product after years of positive [[word of mouth]] and heavy [[infomercial|infomercial advertisements]].<ref name="Chicago Now"> |

=== Exercises overview === |
|||
[[Image:p90xgym.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Standard home gym equipment<ref>http://p90xdvd.org/</ref> recommended for use with P90X: ''Yoga blocks, yoga mat, dumbbells, pull-up/chin-up bar, push-up handles, gloves, and chair'']] The P90X program cycle lasts 13 weeks, exercising six days per week. The program has three "rotations" or emphases, called "classic," "lean" and "doubles," that the individual selects according to their personal goals. There are a total of 12 DVD workouts included with the program; each targets different skills and [[muscles]]. Most of the workouts are less than an hour in duration, although the abdominal workout ("Ab Ripper X") is performed three times per week, after six of the rotating workouts, which adds approximately 15 minutes of exercise to the times in the table below. |
