P90X was released in 2004 and has continued to have great success since it's initial launch. As of this moment P90X has helped over 2 million people get into the absolute best shape they have ever been in, and continues to offer incredible fitness results to those who take on the challenge. How did P90X get started? It all began with the Power 90, an immensely popular 90 day program that continues to have a huge following. The goal was to create a program for those who wanted more. It was about taking the Power 90 and turning up the flames to create a truly extreme workout program, the Power 90 Extreme, better known as the P90X! Heading it up is fitness extraordinaire Tony Horton of course! Nearly 2 years worth of hard work was poured into the research and development of P90X. With leading fitness experts designing and testing the routines, little by little the program began to take shape. The system focuses on the training science of Muscle Confusion. The technique of constantly changing up the routines you do, which prevents your body form adapting, and promotes continuous results. It's called a training science for a reason. The technique was laboriously tested and retested and the routines that emerged are what make the P90X the most effective home workout system ever released to the public. Following along side the development of the P90X routines, was the design and creation of the gear and supplements. What was born, was revolutionary patented gear like the P90X Chin Up Bar, which is not only effective but perhaps the most practical pull-up bar for home based fitness programs. Not to mention a killer diet and nutrition plan that is genuinely healthy, and that honestly works. Once the system was near complete it was put through test groups, and then initially released to a small group of the public affectionally called the P90X "Xplorers". It not only delivered amazing results it began to make a buzz, a lot of buzz. So, here we are almost 4 years later and still changing peoples lives with the massive success of P90X.
