P90X = Man Aerobics

Well…at least P90X is better than nothing! How nice it is of them to not only offer world-class coaching and nutrition, but a stellar built-in support system and the delivery of “functional” movement patterns that will not only sustain you throughout life…even as you enter your “golden years”… but make your current, everyday life exponentially easier and more enjoyable as well. Wait! Sorry. We’re still talking about P90X huh? I take all of that back.

I apologize for the sarcasm, but as an avid strength and conditioning coach and performance enhancement enthusiast I cannot fundamentally condone the use of P90X. Will it help you lose weight and “tone”?…probably, because it does contain an adequate level of intensity. Will it put you in posturally compromised positions and movement patterns that will inevitably cause injury further down the line…most definitely. The term “functional” shouldn’t and doesn’t apply to P90X. If you want to look good then it may possibly suffice, but if that’s all that is important to you then there is some education or re-edumacation that needs to take place. Just because you look good doesn’t mean you’re healthy.
