    I am wondering about the amount of calories burned in Cardio X. Some people say that Cardio X is not in the classic program. Well I have to disagree on that one. If you take a look at the video, Tom will mention that if Plyo is too much then working on the Cardio X is the way to go. But I think that it depends on what you want to replace the Plyo video. i am sure other people would agree with me in replacement with Plyo. I still can't do Plyo because it hurts my knees so I do something else for my workout day. If you want to do some cycling that day, then more power to you, its a workout for that day and you would at least do it. I had tried Cardio X and its pretty good. I like it. Its a mixture of other videos he is presenting like Yoga, stretching, kenpo, and plyo. So its a mixture of those workouts. With my Cardio X workout, I added HIIT workout as well. So I would get more workout for that day. Like I said, its up to you how you want to spend on your workout.

    how can everybody is burning so much calorie??????? I did cardio x this morning and burned only 165 calories and thats jumping around while in the resting time.

    I'm 4'11 and weight 105 and I use the heart rate monitor. I usually work in the high 60 and mid 70 %.

    Does anybody know why? I know I'm smaller frame but thats a huge difference. :(


    It's because you are much smaller. I'm 5'11 and weigh around 170. My HRM tells me that I burn around 400 calories.
    So, I'd say that your HRM is correct. The smaller you are, the less calories you will burn.

    If I fall off my P90X schedule for any length of time, I do Cardio X every night for a week to build my stamina back up before getting back into my regular P90X schedule. It works well for that.

    It's one of my favorite DVD's in the series.. a great steady calorie burn that won't leave you gasping for air.

    I just finished Cadio X for the first time and my HRM logged 392 calories during the 43 min workout. Sounds about right.

    I absolutely LOVE P90X!!! CardioX is less taxing than the other workouts. Try plyometrics...that one is a bear. I've lost my lunch twice doing that one....
