A lot of you want to hear my thoughts and review of P90X, Insanity, and all the other Beachbody workout programs. If you’re into fitness, I’m sure you’ve heard of the P90X workout program.

Is P90X the best workout for you to be following for your specific goals? Well first, I have to be upfront. I have never completed the P90X workout program.

Therefore I may not be the best person to do a P90X review. But someone did send me the P90X workout program to look at and review it from a programming perspective.

After reviewing the program, I tell you what, P90X looks tough. So the initial question that came to mind was this. Is the general population, who are looking to get in shape, ready for this intense of a workout program?

The simple answer is no. P90x is not designed for everyone, and it wasn’t intended to be either. So this is your first takeaway.

When you’re looking to start a workout program, one of the first questions you should be asking yourself is: Is this workout program suitable for my current fitness level?

I give P90X props since they do provide a baseline fit test. In this fit test, they say up front, if you can’t successfully pass the fit test, you’re not ready for the P90X program. For example, here are some of P90X’s fit test standards.

P90X pull up fit test standard:

Male: you should be able to complete at least 3 pull ups.
Female: you be able to complete at least 1 pull up

In other words, if you can’t do this, the P90X program is too advanced for you.

P90X push up fit test standard:

Male: at least 15 push ups
Female: at least 3 push ups, or 15 push ups on knees

P90X wall squat fit test standard:
Male and female: at least 1 minute

P90X bicep curl fit test standard:
Male: complete at least 10 dumbbell bicep curls with 20 pounds
Female: complete at least 10 dumbbell bicep curls with 8 pounds

If you feel like you can’t hit those fit test numbers, then the P90X program is probably too advanced for you.

If you can hit these fit test numbers, is P90X the best program for you?
It really depends on what your goals are.

So this leads me to another question you should ask before starting a new workout program.

Is this program designed to help you accomplish your specific goals?

Based on the program design, P90X seems to be a workout program that is designed for fat burning. So if you’re an ectomorph, and your goal is to add more muscle mass, P90X may not be the best program for your specific goals.

The P90X workout program is designed more for muscle endurance, by extending sets for longer durations. This may keep your heart rate elevated, thus increasing calorie burning, but if you’re looking at building muscle mass, the primary goal is not about burning calories.

So with all that said, is P90X the best workout for you?
It really depends on your goals.

Remember the world’s best workout program is only the best if:
- You can actually complete it
- You can be consistent and stick to it
- The workouts are designed for your specific goals

I hope this gave you clarity on is P90X the best workout for you, your goals, and current fitness level.
