The P90X3 fitness program was released earlier this month and has created quite a stir among fitness freaks! Why? Take a look at a detailed review of the program.
P90X3 is the third and final addition to Tony Horton's P90X workout program series. The recent release of this workout has grabbed the attention of many fitness freaks owing to its grueling yet effective workout guide. This third installment of the series has more intense and demanding exercises than its predecessors but the good part is that it is only for 30 minutes a day. The other two workout programs are for one hour daily. This means that with the new P90X3 you can remain fit without having to spend too much time on your workout regime daily.
Details About P90X3
P90X3 workout program comes in three kits - Basic, Deluxe and Ultimate. The Basic kit is priced at $139.80 and comes with 16 workout DVDs, a fitness guide, a nutrition guide, a 90 days wall calendar, branded stickers and an intro DVD along with 24/7 free email and chat support. The Deluxe kit is priced at $239.70 and includes everything in the basic kit plus a month's supply of E & E Energy and Endurance Pre-Workout Formula and additional workout blocks. The Ultimate kit is priced at $329.55 and comes with a one month supply of P90X Results and Recovery Formula Post Workout Drink, a chin up bar and a chin up max along with everything in the Deluxe kit.
The workout program doesn't require any special equipment though Horton does recommend investing in a good pair of cross trainer shoes rather than regular running shows.
P90X3 includes a 30 minute daily workout regime. The first two minutes are a warm up session and the rest of the remaining 28 minutes are fast paced exercises.
Pros and Cons of P90X3
The biggest plus point of P90X3 is that it requires only 30 minutes of your time daily. This can be quite a benefit, especially for those who have a tight schedule and remain busy throughout the day.
Secondly, just about everything about this workout program oozes positivity. Hence, you're more motivated to stick to your workout regime and not miss even a single day.
The program also includes a fitness and nutrition guide, which can help you sort out what you should eat and when so that you get maximum benefit from this workout plan.
This workout program also gives you the flexibility to adjust it to 60 minutes a day for 120 days rather than 30 minutes a day. This is especially useful for first timers who find the program too intense or vigorous and prefer starting at a slower pace.
P90X3 allows you to work out in the comfort of your very home. You don't have to enroll in a gym or hire a fitness trainer. Also, the flexibility of this program gives you the freedom to plan your regime according to your convenience.
The first drawback is that you may not see results instantly. Users have found that though the program is effective, it takes time to show the desired results. This means you need to be patient and stick to the workout sessions even if you don't see any results in the first month or so.
The second drawback is that it can be quite expensive when compared to other home workout programs. You might find it a tad expensive on your pocket to shell out $200 or $300 for the program. However, if you compare it with a gym membership or hiring a personal trainer, P90X3 is definitely the more economical option.
Conclusion and Recommendation
The P90X3 workout program is highly recommended for those who want to get in shape or stay in shape, upgrade from their current workout program or those who have found the previous two editions of the series effective.
It is also a great option for people who want to remain fit but don't have much time to spend in the gym. Since most of the workout videos are fast paced, you can lose your daily dose of calories in half the amount of time you spend in a gym. Moreover, the price for the program is a onetime cost but will last you for a lifetime.
However, for beginners, it's more advisable to try P90X 1 and 2 first before upgrading to P90X3.
