To better understand and appreciate the P90X, it’s appropriate to look at the people behind its creation and immense popularity.
Tony Horton is considered one of the most experienced and popular personal trainers. Needless to say, Tony’s rise to fame was marked by his strong determination and strong will to push the limits of his physical body. Tony launched his acting career. Still, he was interested in disciplined, strategic bodybuilding. He was a staunch advocate of lean muscle routines. Once Tony completed his physical training, he began developing and perfecting his own exercise techniques. It was this vocation that eventually led to a career change from aspiring actor to a popular gym teacher in the 1990s.

The secret to the P90X system is an advanced training technique called “Muscle Confusion”. This is a technique that accelerates results by constantly introducing new movements and routines that “confuse” muscle groups and continue to build them, rather than settling into a plateau.
Whether you want to bulk up, lose weight, or just build muscle, there are endless ways to combine your P90X routines. Not only will it give you a new workout routine, but it will also motivate you for the next 90 days.
Apart from the complete set of training materials, the following equipment and materials (including food and supplements) are required to begin using the P90X Training and Weight Loss System.
