You've seen the TV commercials, you know people who have purchased the products, you have researched them on internet, but you are still not sure what they are all called and how they differ. Power 90, P90X, PX90, Power 90X are not the same workout and some of the names are not even real. There are actually four programs in the Power 90 series and they are Power 90, Power 90 Masters, P90X, and P90X Plus.
Power 90, the first program in this series, is an "in-home boot camp." It is a series of fun, easy-to-follow workouts designed to help people lose fat and inches while strengthening and toning muscles. The workouts rotate between a cardio routine and a full body resistance circuit training routine. This is a 90-day program. Workouts are scheduled six days a week, about 40 minutes a day.
P90X was originally titled Power 90X before having its name shortened to P90X. P90X was developed to take Power 90 to the next level and was initially introduced in 2004, but was not widely accepted. It was later repositioned and in 2007 began gaining in popularity. It is not considered an entry level fitness program and is better suited for people already in decent shape. There are 12 workout routines consisting of weight training, core training, yoga, plyometrics (also known as athletic jump training), kenpo karate, and stretching. This is a 90 day program. Workouts are scheduled six days a week, about an hour a day.
Power 90 Masters Series was introduced in 2005 after the original introduction of P90X. Power 90 Master Series was developed to be an intermediate level program or warm up for P90X. This series brings in a greater variety of workouts than the original Power 90, and rotates between cardio, plyometrics, interval, core and full body resistance circuit training. This is a 90-day program. Workouts are scheduled six days a week, about 50 minutes a day.
If you completed P90X and want to know what's next, the answer is the P90X Plus Series. This program incorporates some brand new moves and concentrates on muscle endurance. This is a supplemental program to be used in conjunction with P90X. There are five videos in this series and they are each about 45 minutes long.
