    It is an exercise program by Tony Horton which (if followed correctly) should revamp your body in 90 days.

    P90X is a fitness program, as other's have mentioned, that lasts for 90 days (and beyond). It takes a large amount of discipline, because it requires you to work out 6 days a week during those 90 days. However, it also delivers a large calorie burn with every workout. I am currently about to start week 2 of the program, and I would be lying if I say I'm not sore, but I feel like I'm on the right path.

    90 days of pure enjoyment. You follow 90 minutes of exercise a day, this includes warm-up, cool-down, exercises, and abs. Your overall physical and mental fitness will improve. You improve in your endurance (I am not a runner, but I can run now). There is not a muscle group on your body that is not worked over 90 days. Just twenty minutes ago completed day 63 of my first 90. I am already planning on doing another 90 days.

    It has worked well for myself and my wife.

    I have found it does not do much for weight loss.

    I would recommend it.

    Hmmm, it doesn't sound particularly compatible with my work schedule ....I work 14 hour shifts (with a 2 hour round journey) 3 times at week so wouldn't manage 6 workouts
