I'm a male in my late 40's who is relatively fit, but would like to lose approximately 20 lbs. I would prefer to workout 30-45 minutes per day so P90x and it's spin-offs are more than extreme than I think I can handle. In searching for P90, which if I understand correctly is a shorter, less demanding program, I came upon a website that says its "coming soon". What gives with that?
I thought P90 was the original program. Are P90 and Power 90 the same programs?
TIA for any help.

    P90X is the original program, mostly consisting of 75-90 minute workouts.
    P90X2 is the more intense follow up.
    P90X3 is the most recent program, consists of 30-35 minute workouts.
    P90 has not yet been released, as you noted.

    I've done P90X and enjoyed it, but P90X3 is where it is at for my life currently. I can get in there and get it done during lunch at work. It has been great!

    Actually Power 90 was the original program. Then came P90X, P90X2, P90X3... There is a new program coming out called P90 and it is not released yet. However, the one that you are referring to that is shorter workouts and not as intense is the Power 90 workout and it is available right now. It was on sale a couple of weeks ago and I'm having trouble finding it now. I'm wondering if they are getting rid of it because of the new one coming out. You can still find it on Amazon though. The original program came with:

    Sculpt 1-2
    Sweat 1-2
    Sculpt 3-4
    Sweat 3-4

    It looks like on Amazon it might not be all together and you may need to order the different discs. The program is 6 days a week and you alternate Sculpt 1-2 and Sweat 1-2. When you get ready to move on switch to Sculpt 3-4 and Sweat 3-4 still alternating one day of resistance and one day of cardio. Hope this helps!

    Also, there is a Power 90 Master Series that I see is still for sale on the beachbody website. That is the next step up from Power 90 and it has Sculpt 5-6 and Sweat 5-6 ( I believe, I don't have this one so I don't know for sure what it all has with it).
