Most people who do P90x fall into the following categories: Serious question: Why do you want to do P90x? Just be honest. His approach makes it super flexible and easy to lose fat. I really like how Nate Miyaki’s approach to dieting, Feat Your Fat Away where you get to feast on food every night and still lose fat. You want to live a life where ice cream and doughnuts are regularly involved. It doesn’t matter.Ĭheck out a sample day of how I eat here.ĭieting is a lifestyle change but do you really want to live a lifestyle where you have to eat every 2-3 hours on the clock and can only eat a specific list of foods.
You can eat 1 meal per day or you can eat 6 meals per day. Sorry, eating every 2-3 hours does not boost your metabolism. Not to mention the fact that the whole “You need to eat breakfast and eat every 2-3 hours.” saying is complete myth. You’ll also get the and exact meal plan to follow in the diet section.Īnd I am not a fan of these typical diets mostly because they’re restrictive, allow no room for error, and makes you form a bad relationship with food. I’m not going to dive into the dieting section much since it’s a very very typical eat every 2-3 hours, 6 meals per day “eat clean” diet. It’s much easier to eat 100 less calories than it is to burn 100 calories via exercise. P90x takes the opposite approach – it tries to use the workout to create a calorie deficit/burn fat and the diet to sustain energy.
When it comes to fat loss, one of the best approaches to working out is to simply train 3-4 times per week to mainly preserve muscle mass, and to let your diet create the majority of the calorie deficit and burn fat. Will P90x get results if you do it? Yes absolutely, but it is by far one of the least optimal approaches to losing weight. Granted some of these days are more relaxed than others (yoga and stretching) but still, training 7 days per week is unnecessary especially if your goal is to simply look and feel good (which is probably what most are trying to accomplish). Obviously you’re going to be tired and incredibly sore from doing P90x so people inevitably say it’s “working” for them.Įven if you’re an advanced trainer, I can almost never recommend training 7 days per week. This is just all part of P90x’s extreme branding. The answer – there is no need to train 7 days per week.
#P90X WORKOUT ROUTINE PROFESSIONAL#
Professional athletes train 5-7 times per week, so why would an average Joe who simply wants to lose weight and look better need to workout every single day. With P90x you workout 6-7 times per week depending on whether you take the 7th day as a Rest or “X Stretch” day. P90x review: The workouts are overkill and unnecessary Boom! Logic and common sense FTW, none of that muscle confusion silliness. See what I mean? You progressed from 1 to 50 so your muscles are now bigger and stronger. And when you’re able to do 50 push ups, you’re going to have much stronger muscles. You progressed from 1 to 2 so your muscles will automatically get stronger. For example, this can be as simple as going from only being able to do 1 push-up to being able to do 2 push-ups. This means that if you want to gain more muscle, you need to be progressively push more weight and/or reps. Your muscles can ONLY adapt to volume and load. Making your workout more confusing doesn’t result in a more effective workout. As a human being, you and your thoughts can get confused (like when you go to Bangkok and find out half the girls there are dudes). Your muscles can’t get “confused.” Sorry to break the bad news. There is some truth to this but a lot of the theory behind muscle confusion is bullshit. In P90x, muscle confusion basically states that you must consistently switch up your exercise selection to continue to burn fat, build muscle, and avoid plateaus.
