P90X is one of the most popular at home workout programs available today. It has been purchased by workout fanatics all over the globe in an effort to obtain the shredded, lean physique we all dream of and continues to deliver results today. One of the caveats of P90X is that it is intended for those with some sort of fitness background. If you are a beginner to exercise, it is not suggested that you begin with P90X; however, if you are ready to take your fitness routine up a notch, this is definitely a program you will appreciate.
What many who purchase P90X are not aware of is that there are different approaches to the program. P90X comes with a choice of three different workout schedules so you can tailor the program to fit your exact fitness goals. If you prefer to start off slow and want to stick with the basics, your best option is to go with the P90X Classic Workout Schedule. The other two options are the Lean and Doubles Workout Schedules. All three schedules vary when it comes to the number of resistance versus cardiovascular workouts that you will be doing each week during the ninety day training period. One variant that is constant is the single rest day you get with P90X. Whether you opt for the Classic, Lean or Doubles, you will only get one rest day per week. The beauty and a definite perk of purchasing a program such as P90X with three different workout schedules is that you can do the program three times and, each time, achieve different results. The program is extremely versatile and can help virtually anyone meet their fitness goals.
The X Stretch routine is an integral part of the program that will help prevent injuries and avoid plateaus. The extensive full-body stretches that make up this routine use disciplines from Kenpo karate, hatha yoga, and various sports to ensure that your body is fully prepared to meet all P90X challenges head-on. P90X Guided Workouts are cued versions of the P90X workouts, designed specifically for your smartphone and available for purchase through the app. They feature timed video demonstrations for every move, tips on form, and audio guidance from P90X trainer Tony Horton.

Classic
The Classic Workout Schedule features three days of resistance training workouts. This includes using free weights, dumbbells, barbells , resistance bands, pull up bars and exercise balls. The other three days you will be doing cardiovascular and yoga workouts.

Lean
The Lean Workout Schedule is geared towards those that prefer cardio activity. It is intended to help you lean out and burn fat faster. It has less of a focus on building muscle and more on cutting your muscles to make them more prevalent. With the Lean Workout Schedule, you will do cardio and yoga workouts for four days, resistance training for two days and you will have one rest or stretch day.

Doubles
The Doubles Workout Schedule is exactly what the name says. It has you doing double workouts each day. You will work out with the Classic Workout Schedule for the first thirty days on the Doubles Schedule. After that, from day 31 – 90, you will be adding a strength workout in the morning and a cardio workout in the evening. The Doubles Workout Schedule is extremely intense and was designed to give you the best results in the shortest amount of time. Although working out two times per day will definitely give you fast results, it is recommended that you begin with either the Classic or the Lean Workout Schedules before taking on the challenge of Doubles. The schedule of Doubles is demanding on the body and can cause you to overwork your body and muscles if you are not careful.
It is suggested that you consult with your physician prior to beginning any exercise program. If, after consulting with your physician you are given the go ahead to begin P90X, you can check out the P90X Workout Sheets below and see which approach you would like to start out with.
