Day 78 of P90x3

Here is my first review of my progress so far with P90x3--



The good: 

  • moves are incredibly dynamic and almost every single move targets your legs and core
  • 30 minutes and I am done!
  • average calorie burn for my height/weight per workout is 400 calories (that's a lot for 30 min)
  • I can workout at home or the gym by using Beachbody On Demand 
  • saw a huge increase in my muscle definition and tone (great success for me since it's been 2 years since completing a Beachbody program) 
  • saw a huge increase in my endurance and strength 
  • fast paced but still offered some breaks to "catch your breath" 
  • lost 5 pounds so far, have not taken my measurements yet (will update on Day 90) 

The bad: 

  • due to the 30 minute time limit, there is not a lot of time for demonstrations or modifiers 
  • nutrition program was a bit confusing to me, I mainly focused on calorie counting 
  • yoga routine is excellent but I definitely could have used more instruction :) Not the most graceful! 


Overall score for p90x3: A 

  • The original P90x offers more of a calorie burn BUT you are working out anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes 
  • Next time I do this, I will use portion fix nutrition and containers 
  • great calorie burn for the amount of time 
  • balanced program--cardio, weight training, and flexibility
  • LOVE being done in 30 minutes!
