If you are looking for a extreme home fitness program where you burn calories, build and tone muscles. Than this is your program.
Tony Horton is fun, motivational, and just amazing. This guy knows his stuff and how it works. Most of the program you are laughing that you can't even workout. I love quoting him all the time. Especially the " Do your best and forget the rest".
Let me tell you that this was the hardest I have ever worked... ever. 12 workouts total for 90 days, but it was all worth it. This program is for advanced and for people who are already fit and it is challenging from day one.
There are 3 different types of programs you can pick.
Doubles- Very demanding. Ideal for men. More for training.
Lean- more for woman. Lose weight and tone body.
Classic- ideal for men and women. Adds muscle tone and has more cardio
Each program is unique in its own way. There are a lot of double down days in each program. Lean only had them twice a week but doubles and classic have a ton.
I did the lean schedule and here are the workouts that are with it and what they are and how long they are.
- Core Synergistics- building multiple muscle groups. 58 minutes.
- Cardio X- low impact cardi. 43 minutes.
- Shoulder & arms- focuses on shoulders and arms. Weight training.77 minutes.
- AB ripper X- focuses on sculpting abs. 16 minutes.
- Yoga X- strength, balance and core work. 92 minutes.
- Kenpo X- Intense cardiovascular workout with punching and kicking for endurance, balance, and coordination. 56 minutes.
- Chest & Back- Focuses on chest and back. Weight training. 77 minutes.
- Chest, shoulders and triceps- name says it all. Weight training. 73 minutes.
- Legs and Back- Focuses on legs and back. Weight training. 76 minutes.
- Back and Biceps- Focuses on Back and biceps. Weight training. 52 minutes.
- X-stretch- all stretch. 58 minutes.
There is a P90X plus which you can add to your program. It has more intense cardio, muscle building and ab ripper for maximum results. I have not done this one because I was doing the lean program.
Here are the workouts:
- Interval X plus- a cardio workout that puts your heart rate at 3 different speeds. Recovery, medium and full out. Very high cardio. 40 minutes
- Kenpo cardio plus- just an more advanced level of the kenpo X. Helps build stamina, balance and agility. 40 minutes
- Upper plus- Work your upper muscles from your shoulders to your waist line. You won't be able to pick up a ping pong paddle once your done with this monster workout. 45 minutes.
- Total body plus- Has new synergystic moves to get your muscles pumped, then recuperate in stages. 45 minutes.
- Abs/core plus- This ab workout has 4 different stages; hanging, sitting, standing and plank positions. This is to make the workout more intense to shred that mid section. 20 minutes.

The one I had the hardest time with was Cardio X. After 2 months in I was able to do it full on non stop. Cardio X was one I did not enjoy, I'm not a huge fan of cardio. I'm more into toning and weight lifting.
One of my favorites are between yoga x, kenpo x, and ab ripper x.
Yoga X is extremely long and makes you work. I would only do about 45 minutes. People who say
yoga is for wimps... ya no its not. Once you finish the Yoga X you feel amazing and so relaxed.
Kenpo X is full on karate. Punching, kicking and even blocking. I felt like Jackie Chan while doing this workout. Its fun, energetic and you are dripping in sweat after you finish.
Ab ripper X is short but very intense. No modifier its just full blown ab workout. I love this one because of the time and how you feel
after is just amazing.
After almost every workout there is a bonus round. I admit I did the bonus round maybe once and my whole body gave out on me. I would be so exhausted and tired by the time I'm done with the whole workout.
I'm a working mom. I had such a hard time getting the motivation in at 9 at night when my son goes to bed. I would start and wouldn't be done till almost 11 sometimes 11:30, that's if the internet wouldn't load the video. That was the hardest of all during this program. Although I loved the me time that I got to have during that hour. During this program I got the flu and tried kenpo x and only did 30 minutes. I know I should rest but once you start this program you can't stop. I was also afraid to stop because I was afraid that I was not gonna start back up again.

On week 6 I had already lost 6 pounds and my butt was getting firmer and cellulite was disappearing.
On week 10 I reached my goal weight and upped my weights twice. I had so much energy and had no
problem doing push ups.
Let me tell you the first 2 weeks were rough. I was so tempted to quit so many times. After I got past 2 weeks and started seeing results I kept going. My husband is the one that convinced me to do it. I just laughed and said heck no!! I've seen the infomercials they make it look so intense. I was breaking a sweat just by watching the videos.
Before I started I had really bad, achy hips. After I finished my hips didn't hurt anymore. It felt amazing, I don't know why it helped but I'm glad it did.
After I finished I started to notice that my abs were coming in. I've never,ever had abs before. I take a lot of pictures of them haha. I love them.
To the right are my results from this program. I have seen major results.
I have lost 11 pounds and dropped 2 pant sizes.
