=== 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'']] The P90X program cycle lasts 13 weeks, exercising seven 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. |

P90X, or Power 90 Extreme, is a commercial home exercise regimen.[1] It is designed to take 90 days, and consists of a training program which uses cross-training (weight training, martial arts, yoga and calisthenics) and periodization, combined with a nutrition and dietary supplement plan.[2]
History
P90X is Beachbody's best-selling product after years of positive word of mouth and heavy infomercial advertisements.[3] Despite sales growth slowing to approximately 30%, P90X represented half of Beachbody's $430 million revenue in 2010. [4] As of November 2010, 3 million copies of P90X have been sold for an estimated $420 million.[4] The program had grossed approximately $500 million in sales, as of August 2012.[2]
Brands
P90X uses the term "muscle confusion" in their advertising to refer to their training methods.[5] Muscle confusion is said to prevent the body from adapting to exercises over time, resulting in continual improvement without plateau.[6]
There are six programs associated with the Power 90 name: Power 90, Power 90 Master Series, P90X, P90X+, P90X One-on-One, and P90X2 [7] (released in 2011).
In Popular Culture
Singer Bruno Mars references P90X in his hit "The Lazy Song".[8] Paul Ryan, Republican Party nominee for Vice President of the United States in the 2012 election, has performed P90X.[9]
