The P90X workout is one of the most popular workout schedules among those who enjoy strength training. There are three main P90X workout schedules designed to focus on different parts of the body and specific goals.
These workout schedules also cater to different levels of expertise and physical conditions. The three workout options are Classic, Lean, and Doubles.
The first workout option is the Classic. This is generally the best option for those who have never workout before or who have had no experience weight training before.
This workout programs is very clear and targets both weight loss and muscle development. In the beginning, most people are looking to become stronger and lose weight.
The Classic program should not require more than an hour and half total per day. However, Yoga X is definitely the longest workout session.
There is a special P90X Meal Plan designed to be followed with the P90X workout that will help you to obtain the best results. However, many people simply do the workout and eat wisely by avoiding things such as soda, candy, red meats, sugars, and so forth.
The Classic P90X workout routine is designed to have you workout six days a week. This workout routine has a pretty even mix of cardio and resistance training.
When you follow this schedule it is likely that it will be similar to the following. On Monday you will focus on resistance and abs, on Tuesday you will focus on cardio, on Wednesday you will focus on resistance and abs again, on Thursday you will complete a stretch/balance/yoga routine, on Friday you will focus on resistance and abs again, on Saturday you will focus on cardio, and then Sunday you will have off.
This workout is great for building muscle while losing weight. However, those who want to lose a lot of weight before building muscle should probably choose the second workout option, the Lean.
The Lean workout plan will tend to put an emphasis on cardio rather than focusing both on cardio and resistance. Cardio is much more effective in helping people burn calories and lose a lot of weight.
This is also a great option for those who are interested in conditioning, but are not ready to take on the muscle strengthening of the Classic. The Classic routine will take an hour and a half every day with the Yoga X workout definitely being the longest.
When you follow this Lean schedule it is likely that it will be similar to the following. On Monday you will focus on core and cardio, on Tuesday you will focus on cardio, on Wednesday you will focus on resistance and abs, on Thursday you will complete a stretch/balance/yoga routine, on Friday you will focus on resistance and abs again, on Saturday you will focus on cardio, and then Sunday you will have off.
Many of the focuses on these days are the same as the Classic workout. This indicates that the Lean is designed to lead up to the Classic workout.
Likewise, the Classic leads up to the third kind of workout which is the Doubles routine. This routine is more intense and those who are already in shape should be the only ones to attempt it.
These workouts will demand two hours and 20 minutes of your time, which will require a significant amount of dedication on your part. Most days you will have a workout for both the morning and the evening.
When you follow the Double schedule it is likely that it will be similar to the following. On Monday you will focus on cardio in the morning and resistance/abs at night, on Tuesday you will focus on cardio in the morning and cardio at night, on Wednesday you will focus on resistance and abs, on Thursday you will focus on cardio in the morning and complete a stretch/balance/yoga routine at night, on Friday you will focus on cardio in the morning and resistance and abs at night, on Saturday you will focus on cardio, and then Sunday you will have off.
This workout schedule is much more intense, even though the only difference between Classic and Doubles is the addition of cardio. Of course specific workout routines can be adapted slightly to meet your schedule.
These workouts will require time and dedication on your part. However, the result in weight loss and gain in muscle will be worth what you have to sacrifice.
