The P90x Experience

P90X takes at-home workouts to the extreme. In just 90 days, P90X transforms the body into a lean fat-burning machine. The formula behind P90X is muscle confusion. Studies have shown that workouts that use the same moves allow the body to adapt and weight loss to plateau. The purpose of P90X is the combat the body’s attempt to adapt. Introducing different moves in different rotations confuses the muscles and prevents the body from adapting to workouts in P90X. The 12 workouts provide enough new moves and routines so that the body is not allowed to plateau.

Tony Horton is not new to 90-day transformations. His Power 90 series and Power Half Hour have used circuit training to get thousands into shape in a short period of time. However, P90X takes this to another level. It’s not just another strength training program that keeps you busy doing squats and crunches. There is variety. There is a challenge. These workouts include Chest & Back, Plyometrics, Shoulders & Arms, Yoga X, Legs & Back, Kenpo X, Core Synergistics, X Stretch, Chest Shoulders & Triceps, Back & Biceps, Cardio X, and Ab Ripper X.

The P90X Core Synergistics exercise is kind of a workout that most P90Xers don’t know that much about. I have a lot of friends that have done the P90X workout from start to finish and have never done it once. The reason behind this is that its not in the routine manual untl you get to doing the P90X doubles. This is where you do a cardio workout in the morning and a regular workout in the evening. A lot of people do not have the time for this so they skip the morning cardio and focus on the nightly workout. After thinking about it the P90X Core Synergistics is introduced during the off week so you might have only done it once or twice.

What is unique about Core Synergistics is the variety of exercises you do. You start out by doing push ups with you feet stacked on each other and your hands staggered. Next one is the Banana Roll in which you roll onto your stomach and back engaging your abs.

There are some very goofy looking routines. The Sphinx push up is one of the them. Picture lying on the ground looking the Sphinx in Egypt and doing a push up. The plank to chatarunga run is tough. You go back and forth from a plank position bringing your legs to your head in a push up stance and then dropping to the ground for ten seconds while still bringing your feet as high up as you can. This takes strength from your shoulders down to your hip flexors to be able to complete this one.

Another favorite one is the prison cell push up. If you ever see any coverage of inmates at prison yards you will see this push up where they are standing up then drop to the ground, do a push up, bring their right knee to their head, push up, left knee to head, push up, then jump to their feet. Repeat this process for a minute. Its kinda fun because you are engagin so many different muscles and the name is catchy.

P90X Core Synergistics is a nice workout to switch things up here and there if you are getting bored with P90X Ab Ripper X. It is also a great cardio workout that is guaranteed to make you sweat.
