As you watch and listen to Tony Horton during the P90X workout periods, you can genuinely sense that he is sincere in his effort, to help transform everyone into confident, conscious, healthy well beings. No matter your weight, no matter your age, and no matter if you’re working out on a prosthetic leg, one of Tony’s reoccurring messages, is to “Do your Best, and Forget the Rest!”.

P90X is exactly what it implies, an extreme home fitness program designed for individuals that are in top physical condition and health. P90X doesn’t discriminate as far as weight or age, but it is an intense workout program that should not be attempted for someone who doesn’t meet the minimum fitness requirements, there are other less intense programs from Beachbody that are available. Those who have a history of health or medical issues, or suffer from knee, shoulder, or spinal (back or neck) problems, should consult their primary physician before attempting.
If you’re not sure that P90X is for you, there are other alternatives, it may be better to start with a less extreme home fitness program such as Power 90 or the 10 Minute Trainer Workout Program. Once you’ve completed one of the lesser extreme workout programs, then you’ll build a good a base and be more prepared to tackle the demands of P90X.

But what P90X allows you to do, is take the knowledge that you’ve gained, and implement a “life” fitness program that makes sense for you, and your schedule.
Some suggestions include:
Restart the P90X Workout Program (after a few weeks of much needed rest), but this time insert rest days in between all the workouts, that way you can still continue to keep your body in its’ ideal state, but not punish your muscles on a daily basis. Remember you’ve trained and conditioned your body, in a sense actually “shocked” it, now you can implement a less extreme approach to your overall fitness goals.
You can restart the P90X Home Fitness Program, but reduce the duration of the workouts in half! Most of the P90X workouts last approximately an hour; you can cut them down to approximately 30 minutes, and still fuel your body for continued muscle growth.
