  • How does P90X Work? The P90X workout system uses the training science of Muscle Confusion. Over the course of 90 days as your body changes, so do the workouts. The exercise portion of P90X consists of 3 Phases that continuously introduce new moves and routines into the mix. This makes each stage of P90X as effective as the first (it also happens to keep you from geting bored of the same old thing!). P90X offers this unique approach because research has found that results from traditional workout programs tend to trail off over time. The more the body adapts to the same old routine the less effective it becomes. This phenomenon is known as the "Plateau Effect.” By alternating between many different movements, the P90X workouts avoid this pitfall and challenge your muscles to continue to grow, increasing your results throughout the entire 90 days.
