P90X Reviews: A Complete Review on the P90X Workout System

Alternative or X-Sports have never been more popular in America than they are today. Skateboarding, in particular, has gone from being a recreational activity that bored teenage boys do to a competitive sport for both genders in which athletes accomplish feats on both half pipes and stylized courses that we could have never imagined previously. It can feel like watching an animation or a video game, but these are highly optimized athletes performing dangerous and challenging feats of physicality. How do you become the best competitive skateboarder possible? Well, of course the answer is practice. However, for an extreme sport like skateboarding, and extreme home workout like P90X has many benefits as well.

Core Strength: Skateboarding requires exceptional abdominal and core strength in order to keep from falling and control the skateboard through both large and small maneuvers. P90X works the abdominals in every routine, but it particularly focuses on them in Yoga X, Ab Ripper X and Core Synergistics. P90X is designed to have you end the ninety days with a six pack and a firm core, which you’ll need in order to twist, jump and turn the skateboard precisely.

Lower Body Strength: In order to position yourself on the skateboard and, again, to control the skateboard, you’ll need strong and flexible legs, period.  P90X has strength workouts dedicated to nothing but developing your leg strength, and it also features a plyometrics, or jump training, workout that strengthens legs while adding flexibility and explosive reaction time (which is good for skateboarding with its speedy nature). Not to mention Kenpo X, which features martial arts kicking exercises.

Balance: With P90X, you’ll gain balance through every workout, but particularly in the Yoga X workouts that utilize the P90X yoga blocks. If you can’t balance on the skateboard, then your pro skateboarding career will be short lived.

Whether you’re hoping to become competitive or just want to be the coolest guy (or gal) at the skate park, P90X and its follow-up P90X Plus can get you the physical elements that you need to get there. What we know for sure is that P90X will get you into the best shape of your life, and that will make you better at any athletic activity that you undertake. So get in shape with P90X and watch your board performance improve as you do!
