I was a little reluctant to buy these dvds--they cost more and have a lower production quality than P90X.Also they are unedited, leading to some awkward pauses during the workouts.That being said, these workouts were EXACTLY what I needed to break the "plateau" I had after going through P90X and P90X+.With the variety from these workouts, I think that I will be able to keep confusing my body and keep getting results.Here is my take on the videos:
1.Plyo Legs.Ouch!These moves are all in the P90X Plyometrics DVD and in the Legs portion of the Legs and Back DVD.There may be a couple of new ones.It mixes up how you can work out your legs.It's an awesome lower body workout.Expect to be sore.About an hour long.
2.Road Warrior.This one is a great total body routine.4 rounds of chest, back, shoulders, triceps, biceps, and legs.You just need one resistance band.Bonus abs at the end.A tough workout but nothing too crazy.Tony was pretty wacky in this one.If you like him, you'll laugh a lot.About an hour long.
3.Killer abs.Ab Ripper 200 followed by 20 reps of each Ab Ripper X exercise.I wasn't sure if I could make it the first time I did it.Now I love it.About 20 minutes long.
4.Just Arms.I love this one.It's just triceps, biceps, and forearms.After doing this a few times, my biceps made some big gains.About 50 minutes long.
5.30-15.This is one of the hardest workouts I've ever done.It made Chest and Back from P90X feel like a recovery day.12 sets of 30 push-ups and 15 pull-ups.I still can't keep up with Tony, but I've made some big-time gains thanks to this dvd.I only wish the music were as intense as the workout.About an hour long.
6.Fountain of Youth Yoga.This is great if you're short on time.45 minutes to do all the Yoga you can.When I have time, I'll do the P90X Yoga, but most of the time between work and being a dad, 45 minutes is all I can spare.No worries, you can still break a sweat, elongate the muscles, and take care of the joints and connective tissue.Plus I feel great after this workout.
7.Super Cardio.Another good cardio workout for your repertoire. I really like Interval X+ and Kenpo CardioX+ from P90X+ and this is almost on par with those.About 45 minutes.
8.Mammoth UML.I thought this one would be a dvd that I'd try once and toss.Nope.I ended up loving it.Tony has you doing 6 rounds of push-ups (different/new variations), abs (some new stuff here too), and legs.It's perfect for when you are on the road or need to just mix it up.Tony is a great in this one too.About an hour long.
9.Bun Shaper.This video to mixes it up and is pretty fun.It really works your backside.I felt this one in my legs too.It also felt like an interval cardio routine.About 50 minutes long.
10.Medicine Ball Core Cardio.Be prepared to sweat.It's short, around 35-40 minutes, but tough.If I am feeling really strong at the end of a lifting day, I may try to do this workout at the end.If I'm feeling psycho, I'll do it twice in a row.Lots of bang for your buck here and almost all new moves.
11.Recovery 4 Results.This workout is essential during a recovery week (or if you are feeling toasted after doing 30-15!).Just replace one of the two core synergistics workouts from the P90X recovery week for a more balanced recovery week.You do some stretching and yoga, then some light cardio, 1 round of light lifting for all the major muscles, and then wrap it up with a cool down.It is just what the doctor ordered when you want to do a workout but your body is stiff and needs and break.About 45 minutes long.
12.Diamond Delts.P90X and P90X+ really increased my shoulder strength but in all the workouts, the shoulders are never worked move after move after move.This one will work your delts and get results from focusing on just them.About 35 minutes long.
Overall, the workouts are effective because they get you to mix up the moves you learned in P90X or P90X+.You may have to look past some imperfections, but the variety of the workouts will help keep you going and growing--especially if you're a P90X/P90X+ addict like I am.
