The Truth About the P90x Workout

We have all heard about this “revolutionary” workout system (The P90X Workout) that claims to produce lightning fast results. Like many weight-loss programs this product is surrounded by a huge amount of hype, the weight-loss industry thrives on hype marketing to stimulate emotional triggers in people which often converts to sales. These emotional triggers can be set off easily in people who are out of shape or people with low self esteem due to their physical condition.

Before we clear up the hype and get to the crux of the P90X workout system. I should mention that I have an extensive background in the health and fitness industry and have been involved in the industry directly and also from a research capacity, for more than 15 years now.

Over the years as I got older my training styles also changed, I went from hardcore bodybuilding in my younger years to more effective body weight resistance training and core muscle training instead as this complemented my martial arts training as well. Will elaborate on my current weight-loss / fitness / muscle building training methods a little later. Lets get back to the P90X workout review, I borrowed the entire P90X workout DVD collection from a friend off mine purely for the purpose of this review.

I should also mention that there is a lot confusion about the name of this product and many people are trying to capitalize on variations of the product name. I have seen the PX90 Workout, the P90 workout, the X90P workout, the XP90 workout and a host of other variations. As far as I know the official product name is The P90X Extreme Home Fitness program. The name is probably one of my biggest issues with this program, let me explain, The P90X workout claims to be a “home fitness program” but if you take a look at the amount of suggested equipment and training aids your require it almost defeats the entire point of training at home. You would need to spend a small fortune buying the P90X workout program, the P90X recommended equipment and let’s not forget the P90X recommended supplements. I have no doubt that this program does produce results. The problem is that even though the workout routines are effective enough to produce results it seems to me that they also try to “milk” you for as much money as possible during your training. People who are determined enough to see results by following the program diligently will be so excited about their results that they wouldn’t think twice about buy another P90X supplement or piece P90X equipment.

The bottom line is that there are far more effective, faster and cheaper ways to get into shape. I have been a long time fan of Matt Furey and his combat conditioning course along with his other courses. Matt Furey training methods challenged my knowledge of what I thought I knew about training. He opened up a whole new dimension of physical fitness, strength and weight-loss that I never knew existed. The combat conditioning program focuses on core muscle development, functional strength. This has an all round effective on your body from rejuvenating the bodies internal organs to sky rocketing your bodies metabolism. The best past of Matt Furey’s combat conditioning program is that you DON’T need any equipment or any supplements. You can train anywhere, from your bedroom, the office or even your hotel room. The results are fast and permanent, once you start seeing and feeling the benefits of combat conditioning it will a become part of your daily routine like brushing your teeth. You can get a fully body workout at a very advanced level for about 30mins of training.

In conclusion, the P90X workout program does give you results but it doesn’t even come close to Matt Furey’s Combat Conditioning. The P90X workout falls short in a number of areas and is definitely not the most effective way to get into shape.

The final verdict is:

The P90X workout – 4/10 Rating

Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey – 9/10 Rating

I’m taking away 1 point ONLY because there are no pictures of women in the entire Combat Conditioning Program. — *Matt, if you ever read this, that’s a fail buddy:)
