I’m sure you’re here for a P90X schedule and we’ll get right to it. I just want to quickly touch on what P90X is, and what you can expect from it.

P90X® (short for Power 90 Extreme) is a workout program – a really tough one – designed to get you totally rip in ninety days. Developed by Tony Horton and sold and marketed by Beach Body®, it’s one of the more popular workout schedules ever.
OK, let’s take a look at the P90X schedule. (Note that this assumes you start your workout on a Monday.)
All in all there are 12 DVD’s included in the course, and you’ll be following the schedule for six days a week for a total of thirteen weeks. Workouts are between sixty and ninety minutes long.
