Choosing a P90X Schedule
Every P90X Workout Schedule is broken down into 4-week phases. You’ll workout hard for 3 weeks, and then have a recovery week. This is to prevent plateaus and to continue to challenge your muscles without overtraining.
Any of these P90X Calendars are going to help you burn fat and build lean muscle – getting you max results in 90 days.
If this is your first time doing the program, you’ll want to do the Lean or Classic version over Doubles.
