P90X Fitness System: Muscle Confusion Product Review

Jillita Horton
The P90X exercise routine will burn fat like never before, using the concept of muscle confusion. The P90X Fitness System involves weight training exercises that will humble both men and women who seek a higher degree of muscle fitness and rock hard abs.

P90X's developer is celebrity fitness trainer, Tony Horton (no relation to author of this article), who's in his 40s yet can out-fitness most any 20-something with his extraordinary physical fitness and muscle strength.

How the P90X Fitness System works:

This series of exercise routines is based on muscle confusion: imposing unpredictable and ever-changing muscle exercises to keep the muscles continually guessing as to what's coming next in the exercise program.

P90X is loaded with chest exercises, arm exercises, abs exercise and body weight exercises; some traditional, yet some unique. And the way in which they are performed is also unique and very different, which contributes to the muscle confusion aspect.

The fitness enthusiast will be totally delighted and exhausted at the end of these exercise routines; will never get bored; and will experience serious fitness results, even if you think you're already so physically fit you can't improve. This exercise program includes a fitness test to see if you're even ready for the exercise intensity.

Whom the P90X is for:

The man or woman who already has excellent body fitness but wishes to further slash body fat percentage. Stripping down body fat percentage will reveal the sleek muscles that you work so hard for through more traditional weight lifting exercises.

The buff person who aims for a higher degree of muscle fitness.

The fitness enthusiast or athlete who's in a fitness plateau and seeks to smash past the plateau.

Who should vvoid the P90X:

The P90X is not for out of shape or novices exercisers.

Not for men and women who just don't love feeling muscle burn or that good kind of muscle pain that comes with intense weight training exercises.

Not for the inexperienced. If you're new to muscle exercise, forget the P90X.

The P90X consists of:

...a comprehensive fitness guide and nutrition plan, plus free web support.

...12 exercise DVDs that consist of muscle-searing, heart-pounding routines, based on muscle confusion. Muscle confusion results when the body is introduced to new, hardcore exercise routines.

...three weeks of very grueling muscle training, followed up then by one week of lighter training, but "lighter" here is a relative term, trust me on that.

Exercise equipment needed:

Dumbbells, resistance tubing, a pull-up bar, pushup stand, chair/stool, and a desire to whup your already physically fit body into something more fitter than you can imagine.
