 This is a look into which type of options you have with the P90x fitness series. This will inform you on the present P90x options and the future P90x options. Many of you have heard of the P90x workout system, you have probably seen the infomercial or have heard ESPN talking about it either on the television or the radio. Even though you might have heard about the p90x workout routine, you might not be familiar with all the options or the equipment you may need. Well…that is what this article is about, to educate you about your options.
First off, I would like to mention the Power 90 routine, this technically isn’t part of the P90x series, but many say it was the beginning steps to the P90x workout. Power 90 is a Tony Horton workout, and many of the exercises in p90x were first thought of in the power 90 workout.
The next part of the series is the original P90x workout. This is the most popular p90x workout and probably the one you saw on the infomercial or heard about from ESPN. P90x is what started this whole craze that you have been bombarded with. It is seriously the mother of all workouts, and if you really want a challenge then you definitely want P90x. Thousands of people have found success through this workout and have radically changed their lives.
P90x + (P90x Plus), this is the next step (an add-on) to the p90x workout routine. This is for people who have completed the original p90x workout and who are looking for the next step to their muscle confusion. This pretty much adds an extra month to your p90x series.
What does the future hold? It holds the P90x:mc2 program!! In late 2011 you will see the whole new chapter to the p90x workouts. P90x:mc2 means P90x: Muscle Confusion part 2. It is going to be packed with new exercises and more innovative workouts.
So these are your P90x options. With these workouts you will need a chin-up bar, resistance bands or dumbbells, and a towel to wipe off all the sweat.

There are a lot of myths circulating when it comes to weight training. We will go on through several myths and tell you why they are what they are: myths without any bearing of truth whatsoever.
 One common myth is that while you are doing weight training, you can eat anything you want in any amount without building fat because you are burning calories. It is true that weight training will help increase your metabolism; hence you burn calories even while you are at rest. Still, there is a catch. The amount of calories you take in must be in direct proportion with the rate of your physical activity. If you are taking in 3000 calories a day but burning only 2500 with your weight training, you will still gain fat. Always check what you eat for excess of anything will cause health problems.
Your muscles will grow in direct proportion with the amount of workout you do. Regretfully, this myth must be busted. A lot of weight trainers think that in order to build muscle quickly, they need to do heavy weight training every single day of the week for the whole month of the entire year. Experts will tell you that you need rest periods to help your body develop mass. While you are working out, you are causing micro-tears in your muscle fibers. Your muscles increase in size for your system will compensate by repairing these micro-tears. This now results to muscle hypertrophy. On the other side of the spectrum, if you do heavy weight training everyday, you will not give your body enough time to heal those micro-tears. The result will be muscle wasting that will make your workout seem useless. Give your muscle time to heal by spacing weight training 3 times in a week.
Pain indicates gain. There are those that believe that they must feel sore during a workout for it indicates that they are building muscle. On the contrary, you will feel sore at the first few weeks of weight training because you are not used to the activity. Eventually, your body will reach its threshold and will cease to become sore. A problem that some athletes encounter is that every pain is perceived as production of lactic acid. They will then push themselves endlessly in the presence of intense pain, without realizing that they are actually causing injury to their muscular system. This can predispose them to degenerative disorders earlier compared to others who know how to limit weight training.
Some people believe that you must have those expensive, complicated, futuristic, modern –looking monstrosities of equipments to be able to have the perfect set of workouts to manipulate the most of their muscles. It may be true that those equipments will help you do weight training. What is not true is that you need them to do your workout. A set of weights with the proper set of exercises will help you achieve the same set of workout without having to spend thousands of dollars in a machine.
Do not let these myths hold you back in your weight training. Proper diet, proper bio-mechanics, and spacing of training will help you achieve your goal in weight training in the best time possible.

 It is easy to look at Tony Horton and think to yourself, “He has always been in good shape,” but like many other people who assume that Tony Horton has always been chiseled, you too would be wrong. It has not always been easy for Tony Horton; in fact, Tony Horton’s earlier life might sound a lot like yours. Like many people, Tony did not like to exercise; actually he dreaded the thought of working out. He also had a liking for fast food, and who could blame him! Fast food, although unhealthy, is very tempting especially for a young person. Tony Horton was not ripped like you see him in his Power 90, P90x, or 10 minute trainer workouts; he was described as weak and bony. Those are definitely two words that do not describe him now. So what happened to Tony that turned his life around, how did he go from being a scrawny everyday guy to a fitness phenom?
Although exercising was one thing that Tony did not like, there was one thing that he enjoyed…acting! So he did what many people do when they want to start an acting career, he moved to the great city of Los Angeles. Being a graduate from the University of Rhode Island and having some smarts, Tony quickly came to the realization that in order to make it in Los Angeles he had to be fit. This was the beginning of Tony Horton’s fitness path. He joined the gym that helped made Arnold Schwarzenegger successful, the World Gym in Venice. It was at the World’s Gym that Tony began to study and ask questions about fitness, which led him to a total body transformation and launched him into fitness success.
Obviously, coming from a gym that is famous for breeding body builder type people, there was pressure to conform, but Tony did not want that look. So Tony focused more on his cardiovascular training and weight training that gave him that toned look.
Tony started to get a lot of attention because of how much he transformed his body, and because of that attention he was asked to become a personal trainer. Tony still got to pursue his acting career in other ways. He trained many celebrities like Sean Connery and Tom Petty, and then also had a television appearance with Nordic Track. Tony Horton also worked with the cast from The 13th Warrior, starring Antonio Banderas, and helped them get ripped for that movie.
Tony Horton’s fame was growing more and more, that is when the CEO of Beachbody, Carl Daikeler, contacted Tony about joining the Beachbody team. Since then, Tony has released some of the greatest in-home workout routines that has helped thousands of people transform their lives.
Tony continues to help people reach their fitness goals. Through Tony’s personal success, he has gained the knowledge and the passion to help other people become successful.
Here are a few of the workout dvds Tony has released:
