Power 90 Reviews: A Great Workout That Will Kick Your Butt

Beach Body and Personal trainer, Tony Horton, released the Power 90 workout with the intention of providing a workout routine that works out of the comfort of someones home. Power 90 was so successful that in 2004 Tony Horton P90X released, a program that has gone on to sell 2 million units, became a household name and favorite celebrity workout. But even as P90X claimed the limelight, Power 90 has continued to sell, and today remains one of the best workout dvds on the market. A few of the questions I asked when doing my Power 90 reviews: Is Power 90 still relevant? Can it deliver outstanding results? Has P90x completely replaced it?

First a brief overview of the Power 90 workout itself, intended to give you 90 days of training and is designed to help you pass through four stages of gradually increasing intensity as you go through six different workouts recorded on two DVDs. These sessions consist of two "Sculpt Circuit" sessions, two "Sweat Cardio 'training sessions and two" Ab Ripper "routine. Ultimately Power 90 is designed so that you will need to listen to your own body and decide when it's time to progress to a more challenging DVD. It's on you and only you to decide when that will be.

The workouts are pretty short. The longest workout on Sculpt and Sweat workouts range 29-42 minutes, while ab routines are very short, 4-6 minutes.

Yoga is the first thing that you'll be doing as your warm up with the Cardio Sweat video, which will then be followed by a variety of other execises. These include doing martial arts, plyometrics, kicking, and punching. All of this will be followed by a yoga cool down.

The Sculpt Circuit also begins with some stretching and light yoga, and then progresses through a weight resistance routine that is shown with both free weights and resistance bands. You will progress through a mix of different exercises and lifts in its 40 minutes duration.

One thing that is immediately obvious in my Power 90 reviews is that it's not nearly as intense nor does it have the production values that P90x does. The studio that the workout takes place is is pretty bland, and you may want to have your own music because the music isn't that great.The workout itself is just not as extreme as in the P90x, as not only are their short duration, but the exercises fit in the upper parts of most people's comfort. If you're new to working out, Power 90 is definitely the way to go though.

In conclusion: The principles behind the Power 90 are very sound principles. If you have the training and nutrition guide for three months to follow, you need to achieve impressive results. You results will require your commitment and effort; Power 90 will guide you on how to achieve results, but it's up to you to do the exercises and eating correctly. No This is the logical precursor to P90X, and should be seen as a challenging routine for all people interested in going from a beginning or mid-level of fitness to a more advanced position. All that you need to do is set your problems to the side and focus on the task at hand. Just keep pressing play and you'll acheive the results you want.
