P90X Reviews: A Complete Review on the P90X Workout System

Core training is all the rage, and for good reasons. Not only does core training give you the great slim midsection that you’re certainly hoping for, but core training improves posture and balance, which makes you healthier and more resistant to injury. Today, we’ll be discussing the eighth workout P90X workout, which focuses on core training: Core Synergistics

By now, you’ve heard all of the experts tell you about the importance of strengthening your “core muscles,” which include all of your abdominal muscles and your lower back and spine muscles. Strengthening this area not only helps you in your workouts, it will help you in every day activities. It will also improve your posture as well as make you less likely to get injured while working out. Many parts of pilates and yoga are specifically designed to work your core muscles. The P90X series certainly doesn’t shy away from emphasizing how important this area is.

There are a ton of exercises in this workout. They include: Stacked Foot/Staggered Hands Push-ups (you may want to invest in the P90X Push Up Stands for this), Banana Rolls, Leaning Crescent Lunges, Squat Runs, Sphinx Push-ups, Bow to Boats, Low Lateral Skaters, Lunge and Reaches, Prison Cell Push-ups, Side Hip Raises, Squat X-Press, Plank to Chaturanga Run, Walking Push-ups, Superman/Banana, Tricep Curl Presses, Towel Hopping, Reach High and Under Push-ups, Steam Engines, Dreva Rolls, and Table Dip Raises.

Did you get tired just reading that? Imagine how strong your core will be after completing it! You’ll want to make sure that you have a lot of room for this workout, and you may want to consider using a P90X Yoga Mat since there are so many exercises that are done on the floor. While this workout is technically one of the recovery workouts, you’ll be tired afterwards and very much aware that you just spent an hour concentrating on a very specific part of your body! You’ll feel the results in your core, and you’ll see the results in the increased ability that you have to do all of the other workouts!
