What makes P90X so unique?
The P90X workout program uses one of the most modern techniques in fitness science, called Muscle Confusion. Just like your body and fitness level, the workouts are constantly changing over the course of the 90 days. Each phase of P90X is as effective as the first because there are always new moves being introduced and challenging routines to "spice things up."
You've got to keep the body guessing, and Muscle Confusion does just that. By using different muscles in different ways each day, P90X doesn't allow your body to adapt to one specific routine. More traditional workout results tend to "hit the wall" at the end because your body has become used to the routine, this is known as the "Plateau Effect". The P90X Workout alternates muscle groups daily, demanding the most from you and your body throughout the entire 90 days.n plan designed specifically for you!

In it, you'll find a detailed, customizable menu based on your current weight and caloric needs, you'll swear it was written specifically for you. The P90X Nutrition Guide, like the P90X Workout Guide, is also broken down into 3 phases that will take you from start to finish.
Depending on which phase you choose, the P90X Nutrition Guide will recommend foods, define "good" carbs and fats and even go as far as providing daily meal ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are even vegetarian alternatives. The P90X Nutrition Guide will probably have you eating more often than you're used to, there's certainly no "starving yourself" on this fitness plan. It's all about eating enough of the right foods to fuel your body and give it the energy it needs to do the P90X workouts. Like peas and carrots, nutrition and exercise go hand in hand, and what easier way than to have it all spelled out for you…literally.
