P90X Lean Approach

By: Tim Dillon

P90X Lean is for those who want more cardio and a slightly less intensive program. Make no mistake, this is the real deal and no picnic!

The P90X workouts are approximately 1hr (1 DVD) each day, 6 days a week, with the 7th day being a day of rest or optionally X Stretch. To preview the video descriptions of each workout visit the P90X product page.

P90X LEAN PHASE 1:

Your aim should be to finish each workout and perfect each movement, as opposed to focusing on weight or resistance.

Weeks 1-3:
Day 1 - Core Synergistics
Day 2 - Cardio X
Day 3 - Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X
Day 4 - Yoga X
Day 5 - Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 6 - Kenpo X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch

Week 4:
Day 1 - Yoga X
Day 2 - Core Synergistics
Day 3 - Kenpo X
Day 4 - X Stretch
Day 5 - Cardio X
Day 6 - Yoga X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch

P90X LEAN PHASE 2:

Your body should have adapted quite well by this phase, and it will be time to start upping the weight you use for each exercise. Shoot for 12-20 reps and be at or near failure at the end of each set.

Weeks 5-7
Day 1 - Core Synergistics
Day 2 - Cardio X
Day 3 - Chest, Shoulders & Triceps, Ab Ripper X
Day 4 - Yoga X
Day 5 - Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X
Day 6 - Kenpo X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch

Week 8
Day 1 - Yoga X
Day 2 - Core Synergistics
Day 3 - Kenpo X
Day 4 - X Stretch
Day 5 - Cardio X
Day 6 - Yoga X
Day 7 - Rest or X Stretch

P90X LEAN PHASE 3:

"No pain, no gain" is what this phase is all about. At this stage you should be ready to give it all you got! This is the time to push it to

exhaustion on each exercise. Drop the reps a little and try to fail at 10-12 reps with more weight. It's time to put the X in "extreme".
