In just 90 days, P90X can help a person to lose weight and increase muscle strength. This unique system combines muscle confusion with a diet strategy that maximizes body reshaping as one moves through the program.
The system helps one achieve results quickly in two ways. First, it gives the user control over the balance of calories consumed versus calories burned. Burning more calories than are consumed is the key to weight loss. That is what combination of dieting strategy and exercise is all about. But, this system goes one step further by using muscle confusion in the exercise program.
Secondly, the workouts in this program maximize the improvement in muscle strength as one progresses. Since stronger muscles use more energy, they can help burn more calories while also increasing fitness. Calories that would otherwise be converted to fat are burned during the strength training. That is true of any workout program. But, with muscle confusion, the burning of calories in the body can reach full potential.
At the beginning of an exercise program, strength increases rapidly. The rewards are large and noticeable very soon. After several weeks, strength still increases, but the gains in strength are less each day. By about 12 weeks, the gains may be very small. This is muscle plateau. At this point, the exercise program can seem less rewarding. That can have a negative effect on motivation to stick with the routine.
This system is designed to get the user beyond the problem of muscle plateau. The workout program constantly challenges the muscles in different ways. The muscle confusion that results causes the muscles to keep getting stronger. This is how the system can maximize the calorie burning and muscle building part of reshaping the body.
The system includes workouts that target specific muscles, a cardio workout, a workout for mind and body balance, a stretching workout, and a workout for the body core. The constant change in workouts over the 90 day period causes muscle confusion, and also can decrease boredom while increasing the motivation to get fit.
The various muscle exercises used to create muscle confusion include workouts targeting the body core, abs, chest, back, shoulders, biceps and triceps, and the legs. These diverse workouts force the muscles to adapt to learn to handle many different kinds of physical challenges.
The diet strategy works with the exercise program to rapidly reshape the body and get it as fit as possible. It starts with a diet high in proteins and low in carbs. As the muscles become stronger and require more energy, complex carbohydrates are increased. This plan maximizes initial weight loss and the building of muscle.
The P90X system seems to stand out as an efficient way to get fit by losing weight and increasing muscle strength. The combination of diet and exercise, and muscle confusion work together to allow one to reach fitness goals in just 90 days. In addition, the mind-body balance training and the motivation provided by diverse workout challenges, make this a workout routine that improves all around health.
P90X was invented to combine state of the art muscle confusing exercise moves with healthy eating in order for maximum body response in 90 days. For those that accomplished the 90 day program and are looking for more muscle confusion the wait will soon be over with P90X MC2 the next in muscle confusion evolution.
