What does the P90X® program include?
How can P90X® be so effective? The secret is simple: Muscle Confusion
With this advanced training technique new moves and routines are introduced one after the other, so your body is constantly challenged in different ways. Basically, this technique keeps your body from adapting and "getting comfortable" with the workout and so, it avoids the feared "Plateau Effect", a stage in which you work and work, without results. The constant change makes each stage of the program be effective as if it was new to your body.Every P90X® workout provides a full body training, but each target different muscle groups and objectives (e.g. arms and shoulders, legs and back, with stretching, tension, or weight-lifting) so that overall fitness and particular sculpting, happens at the same time.
