The system was developed by [[Tony Horton (exercise instructor)|Tony Horton]], [[Beachbody]] CEO Carl Daikeler, Beachbody Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards, nutritionist Carrie Wyatt, Creative Director Ned Farr, and workout video director Mason Bendewald. |
|||
In 2002, Daikeler asked 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. Horton consulted various fitness experts and experimented with several disciplines to develop the workout program. |
|||
Farr used a [[documentary]] approach when filming the infomercials, using raw home footage supplied by P90X graduates. "P90X: The Proof" infomercial won a Telly award in 2009<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tellyawards.com/winners/list/?l=All&pageNum_winners=15&totalRows_winners=6396&event=10&category |title=The 35th Annual TELLY Awards | Winners |publisher=Tellyawards.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> and "P90X: The Answer" infomercial won a Moxie award in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.retailing.org/blog/era-announces-2010-era-moxie-awards-winners |title=ERA Announces 2010 ERA Moxie Awards Winners | Electronic Retailing Association |publisher=Retailing.org |date=2010-09-23 |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> |

In 2010, P90X sales dropped off dramatically,<ref name="bloomberg.com">{{cite web|author=By Esmé E.

In 2011, the sequel to P90X was released, P90X2. Also a 90-day workout regimen, P90X2 focuses on an applied sports science called Muscle Integration.<ref name="beachbody.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/p90x2-workout-the-next-p90x.do |title=P90X2 Extreme Workout Program – P90X2: A New Level! – |publisher=Beachbody.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> Instead of working one muscle group at a time, P90X2 uses resistance on unstable platforms to engage more muscles with each movement.<ref name="beachbody.com"/> |
|||
In December 2013, P90X3 was released and featured 30 minute workouts as opposed to hour-long ones. P90X3 includes 16 routines, and includes yoga, mixed martial arts, pilates, and plyometrics with upper and lower body workouts. Both P90X2 and P90X3 are not graduate programs, so prior exposure to P90X is not necessary.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dysfunctionalparrot.com/health-and-fitness/p90x3_part1/ |title=P90X3 - The Complete Review: Part 1 of 3 |publisher=Dysfunctionalparrot.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> |

P90X is a 90-day program that combines a variety of exercise techniques, including strength training, cardio, yoga, plyometrics, and stretching.<ref>{{cite web|author=By Kat Carney CNN Headline News |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/04/30/plyometrics/index.html |title=CNN.com - Get the jump on fitness - Apr 30, 2004 |publisher=Edition.cnn.com |date=2004-04-30 |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> The program consists of a nutrition guide, fitness plan, calendar, and series of DVDs demonstrating a variety of techniques.

=== Exercises overview === |
|||
[[Image:p90xgym.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Standard home gym equipment recommended for use with P90X: ''Yoga blocks, yoga mat, dumbbells, pull-up/chin-up bar, push-up handles, gloves, and chair'']] Standard home gym equipment recommended for use with P90X: yoga blocks, yoga mat, dumbbells, resistance bands, pull-up/chin-up bar, push-up handles, heart rate monitor, and body fat tester. A chair, plastic plate, and wall are also things you may need. |
|||
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. |
