P90X Plus is an extension of the P90X
fitness program. The P90X fitness program has
become one of the most popular and best-selling fitness programs on the market.
The P90X Plus fitness program retains the same
three training specialists used to create the
original P90X fitness program, Tony Horton,
Carrie Wiatt, and Mark Sisson, to define
and create the new P90X Plus fitness program.
The P90X Plus fitness program was created
by Beachbody, a company that has become one
of the leaders within the fitness program
industry.
Beachbody was founded in 1998 and
is responsible for several hit fitness
programs apart from the P90X fitness
program, including Slim in 6, Insanity,
ChaLEAN Extreme, Yoga Booty Ballet, Hip Hop
Abs and Turbo Jam. Beachbody maintains a
focus on providing at-home DVD/VHS-based
fitness programs that include specific and
targeted workouts, fitness and nutritional information, and workout equipment designed
to achieve a wide range of fitness and
health results.
In doing so, Beachbody has become one of
the leading home-based fitness program
companies within the fitness industry. Their
fitness programs are well-designed, effective
and wallet-friendly.
The P90X Plus fitness program is well
designed and targeted specifically towards individuals that have already completed the
original P90X fitness program. Hence,
individuals that enjoyed the original P90X
fitness program may want to consider
purchasing the P90X Plus fitness program, as
the workouts are a continuation of the
original program intended to take
your state of health and fitness to the next level.
The P90X Plus fitness program is intended
as an extension to the original P90X program,
and focuses on producing health and fitness
results similar to the original program. The
P90X Plus fitness program primarily focuses
on cardiovascular, strength training,
flexibility, coordination and balance, similar to the original P90X
fitness program, but with new exercises and
routines.
To this end, the P90X Plus fitness
program is intended for individuals that have
already completed the original P90X fitness
program, and is designed to continue to
promote health and fitness improvements in
the areas of cardiovascular, strength,
mobility and flexibility.
The P90X Plus fitness program includes the
follow exercise routines and items:
- Interval X Workout
- Kenpo Kickboxing Cardiovascular
- Upper Plus Workout
- Total Body Plus Workout
- Abdominals & Core Plus Workout
- Fitness Guide
- Downloadable Worksheets
- Tony's Trainer Tracks - A detailed guide
designed to teach you how to perform each of
the movements with perfect form
The P90X Plus fitness program includes 5
new workouts with
exercises similar to the original P90X program. In
addition, there are a several new exercises
and sequences that are unique to the P90X
Plus fitness program.
For example, you will still be performing
various punching, kicking and blocking
combinations in the Kenpo X Plus workout.
However, you will also be performing a few
new sequences like the Gladiator, which is a
jumping knee-high kick followed by a
downward jab that will require you to squat.
This high energy combination of movements is
designed to tax your cardiovascular
endurance. Additional exercises include
spinning swords, backward jabs that require
torso rotation, and combinations such
as the double sword to knee kick to back
kick. The new exercise combinations are
designed to be performed sequentially and
will simultaneously work multiple muscle
groups that will force your body to burn
a considerable amount of calories.
The Total Body Plus workout begins with
leaning squats that require you to quickly
rise with your arms extended above your head.
This is immediately followed by large lunges
and rotational wood chops to work your
abdominal and lateral muscles. The workout
also combines several of the more familiar
exercises, including modified push ups, dumbbell
exercises such as two-arm dumbbell rows, and
biceps curls with one knee bent.
Similar to the original P90X fitness
program, the P90X Plus exercise routines are
sequenced in order to work
multiple muscle groups at the same time, and
at other times, target specific muscle groups
in an alternating manner. This concept is
the basic approach behind a variety of exercises
that require your total body to be active, and
why a majority of them are actually an
advanced version of the more basic exercises
such as the push up, pull up and biceps
curl. sexluzern
The five new workouts provided with the P90X
Plus fitness program are designed to be used
in conjunction with the workout routines
provided with the original P90X fitness
program. The P90X Plus fitness
program is designed to be performed over a 12-week period.
The P90X Plus fitness program rotates
through the various exercise routines on a
weekly basis. For example, during one
week the exercises and workout routines may
focus on developing and strengthening the
upper body muscle groups, while the following
week may involve exercises that are designed
to work the core and lower body muscle
groups.
The P90X Plus fitness program maintains 6 exercise sessions per week, or 7
exercise sessions per week if you plan on
using the 7th day for the stretching workout
instead of resting.
The P90X Plus fitness program is designed
to build on the health and fitness results
achieved from the original P90X program. This
being said, you should continue to expect
significant improvements in your health and
fitness as the five new exercise routines are
similar to the workout routines performed
under the original P90X program. The health
and fitness results include continued weight
loss, improved cardiovascular endurance,
increases in lean muscle mass and strength,
and improved coordination, balance and
flexibility.
The P90X Plus fitness program is designed
as a continuation of the original P90X
fitness program, so it assumes that you
already have an exercise mat a set of dumbbells. Aside from
those purchases, the P90X Plus fitness
program requires no new additional equipment.
You will still need a moderate amount of
space to perform the floor exercises,
strength workouts and martial arts-oriented
cardiovascular exercises.
The P90X Plus fitness program is
specifically intended for those who
have already completed the original P90X
fitness program. Similar to the original P90X
fitness program, the P90X Plus fitness
program is a high intensity workout that is
not intended for beginners.
The P90X Plus fitness program uses many
of the exercises, movements and sequences
that were performed in the original P90X
fitness program. Hence, individuals that
are not familiar with the original program may find it difficult to perform in the beginning.
The P90X Plus fitness program includes
Beachbody's extensive customer support
service, which consists of the following:
- 24/7 customer support telephone line
- Online email customer support
- Live chat
- Large message board community
- Extensive online customer support FAQ database
The P90X Plus fitness program costs two
monthly payments of $ 29.95 plus $ 9.95 for
shipping and handling. For a total price of
approximately $ 70.00, you will receive 5
workouts, a fitness guide, downloadable
worksheets and Tony's Trainer Tracks
(tips for performing the movements and
exercises correctly).
The primary value of the P90X Plus
fitness program is for those who have
completed the original P90X fitness, enjoyed
the program, achieved significant health
and fitness results, and want to continue a
workout program that is similar to the
original. This being said, the P90X Plus
fitness program is ideal for individuals that
are looking to add additional exercise
routines to their current P90X routine, or any other
home-based exercise program.
Summary
Since its release, the P90X fitness
program has become one of the most popular
at-home fitness programs on the market.
Hence, it is a natural progression for
Beachbody to create a fitness program that
continues from where the original P90X fitness program left off. To this end, the P90X Plus
fitness program is designed for individuals
that enjoyed the P90X fitness program and
want to continue performing exercise routines
of this type.
The P90X Plus fitness program is designed
to be used in conjunction with the original
P90X fitness program or any other at-home exercise routine. The exercise routines
are aggressive and intended for individuals
that are in moderate shape. Similar to the
original P90X fitness program, individuals
that are just beginning an exercise routine
or are not accustomed to regularly
performing an exercise routine on a daily
basis may want to consider purchasing an
easier fitness program before jumping to the
P90X Plus fitness program.
At a cost of approximately $ 70.00 for five
new workouts, some individuals may feel that the
the P90X Plus fitness program is overpriced. However, the five new workouts are well
designed, provide excellent health and
fitness benefits, and, for individuals that
enjoyed the original P90X fitness program, are well worth the price.
