P90X Review: Real Summer Blockbuster Heroes
Summer means that it’s blockbuster movie season. Whether your hero of the summer is a ripped member of the A-Team, a certain werewolf with now legendary abs or Iron Man in his “enhancing” superhero suit, the truth is that having a body that’s as in-shape as any summer blockbuster hero isn’t entirely out of the question. All you need is real dedication on your part and a healthy dose of P90X. In fact, many of the celebrities we mentioned above, and specifically Taylor Lautner of Twilight fame, used P90X to get in shape for their roles.
P90X creator Tony Horton is a celebrity fitness trainer, so it makes sense that he’d be able to design an extreme home fitness program that will get you in shape like a super hero or a celebrity. In fact, in addition to your standard action hero, Demi Moore and P!nk both use P90X, as well as any number of professional athletes.
P90X is a ninety-day fitness plan that also combines the P90X Nutrition plan with its intense (and we mean intense) workouts in order to get you into the best shape that you’ve ever been in. You’ll have access to twelve different workouts that alternate among strength training, flexibility training and cardio training, as well as the nutrition plan. There are also P90X accessories that you can use to intensify your workout even more, including a chin-up bar for chin-ups and pull-ups, powerstands to help you do perfectly correct push-ups every time, resistance bands with handles for the best grip and yoga accessories for those hard-core yoga days.
A superhero physique, or just a celebrity physique, isn’t entirely out of the question even for us mere mortals. You’ll need to come ready to play, however. P90X isn’t called “extreme home fitness” for no reason at all. The workouts are hard. The nutrition plan really requires that you change some of your eating habits (for the better), and you’ll need to be prepared to workout six days a week for three months. However, at the end of it, you’ll be leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Ok, that’s not true. But you will have a body that everybody will envy and, more importantly, be in the best shape and health of your life.
