While there are numerous modalities in P90X, the focus is on visible muscles. P90X is set up for six workouts per week. On the seventh day of each week, you can either rest or do a stretching video. Thus, it is best for people who can make a serious time commitment to their workouts.

Most rely on gadgets or gimmicks, and nearly all promise a pain-free experience. P90X, a day blitz of dumbbell moves, plyometrics and martial arts moves, sounds like more of the same.

When company CEO Carl Daikeler noticed a gap in the market for DVDs aimed at reasonably fit people wanting to shed those last percentage points of body fat , he asked trainer Tony Horton to create something to fill that void.
