P90X Plus - Workout DVD Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the P90X workouts the Summer of 2008, and I loved the original workouts.They are a must for someone working out at home, who has gotten a little bored with their traditional workout. At the same time, I bought the Plus series too.They just don't pack the punch of the P90X workouts from the standpoint of routines, challenge, and production value.They simply aren't as challenging and intense as the originals.

IntervalX and Abs/Core introduces variations of traditional ab and cardio work.Some of the new variations are fun, but they aren't that different than other routines in P90X.With me being almost done with my second round of P90X, I use these workouts about once every two weeks on average.I've been critical so far, but I do like the Interval X workout for its quick cardio.You can get a good burn doing the short 30 minute workout.Tony takes you thru 12 different routines of slow, medium,and then fast.It gets the heart pumping and you get a good sweat from it.

Total Body Plus is a 40 minute workout with 10 minutes of warm up and cool down, plus around 30 minutes of actual workout.Tony takes you heat to toe working out shoulders, chest, back, arms, and legs.Its not overly challenging, but you can get a good workout in the 25 minutes of actually working out. You do a variations of routines with and without weights. From push ups to pull ups to some lifting, this workout will work your entire body.You won't be spent after the workout, so you could do some cardio or abs along with this routine.It too easy for me, and I'm looking for something a bit harder.That being said, my teenage daughter and wife loves this workout.They do it twice a week, so its almost ideal for a total body workout at low to medium intensity.I'm not saying this workout is for women only, but its not challenging enough for me personally.

Kenpo Cardio is another short cardio burn that IS more intense than the first Kenpo P90X workout.I actually use this over the original, because while shorter I feel it gives me a better burn.The original Kenpo was more of a slow steady burn for 40 minutes, while this is more of an up tempo 32 minute burn.It has most of the same moves but at a quicker and more intense pace.As stated earlier, I use this one exclusively over the 1st Kenpo.

Upper Plus is a good solid workout that isn't much different.It variations of all your normal back, chest, and arm workouts.It maybe be the most intense of the Plus series, but its nothing you have to have or didn't do with P90X.

I don't want to be overly critical of the Plus series, but Beach Body made these to capitalize on the original. I don't blame them, but I am disappointed and wished I hadn't bought them.They simply fall short in production value, intensity, and the results you get from them.These are shorter workouts meant to go along with the P90X workouts and not to replace them.You simply won't get the results as the original routines, but I don't think they are meant to.They only compliment the others, and so I could live without them.At 40 I'm looking for intense and challenging workouts to maintain what I got, and these don't do it for me.These are ideal for men and women who want a moderate workout in less than 35 minutes.If you haven't bought the P90X workouts, then I highly encourage you to do so.You won't be disappointed and the 12 routines will keep things really fresh.If you do have the originals, you really don't need these at all.They are nice complimentary workouts , and only ideal for someone looking for a moderate workout.I'm not a fitness trainer, so my opinion may not be worth spit.But for all of you guys, that are looking for a challenging to hard workout...don't buy these dvds.They are good but not worth the hundred Plus bucks you'll pay for them.
