REVIEW - Tony Horton's P90X - 20 Years Later

It's been 20 years since P90X with Tony Horton dropped a neutron bomb on the world of home fitness. So how does it hold up after all this time?

[@Cabnr310]

I remember downloading p90x on limewire. What a time to be alive

[@MikeWatchesYT]

And simultaneously giving your computer AIDS in the process.

[@JimmyRussle]

lol me too man. I still have it on my file server. Never once watched it.

[@JeffDelreal]

did we seriously all live the same life? 🤣

[@VoicesUnspokenMen]

Lmao I’m in that fbi list too

I started my fitness journey with p90x and still active. I think it saved my life.

[@renatoarauz7784]

same here my brother brought it on dvd and we hada blast and learned proper technique at the same time

[@masterzaff1]

Yup same, no gym needed, got me the fittest ever

I remember do a dreya roll and thinking "ya, fk this woman" 😂

[@playercharacter117]

@@ordinaryretrogamer6944 Interval X is straight up the "Intensive Training" workout we used in Navy boot when I was there in 2005 just slowed down a little. Which makes sense because the captain in charge brought in civilian fitness professionals (I think Tony may actually have been one of them) to build a new program (he didn't like how easy PT was when he first got there, he came in after the "timeout card" guy and immediately threw all of those into the trash, massive respect for that man).

I still think the YogaX is really underrated and do it every now and then.

[@Hajiroku]

P90X got me from weak with no muscles to ripped. No joke. I still have fond memories of it. Currently I have a home gym but damn p90x was an amazing intro into fitness.

[@Galinkaman]

Been into fitness and athletics my whole life, and the p90x Yoga workout was and still is one of the most difficult workouts I’ve ever completed.

[@Mark-mj3jb]

I remember the first week of P90x when I couldn't wait to get to the Yoga day so I could 'lay around and stretch' and thinking it would feel like an off/easy rest day. Boy was I wrong. 45 minutes in and I thought I was going to die. I learned a whole new respect for yoga after that.

[@Galinkaman]

@ SAME! carbon copy experience to yours lol. I was sore for like a week

[@abesixpack833]

I still remember how satisfied I felt when I completed the Yoga workout with no pauses and didn't skip any exercises/poses. What a great feeling!

[@lifeforgod07]

That yoga workout haunts me..I was a D1 soccer player and struggled to completely do that workout without taking breaks

[@Smmmile]

I did Power 90 (the precursor to this) and finished it and then moved on to P90x. I made it through Plyometrics somehow, even the walls were sweating. It's the closest thing to assisted suicide I've ever experienced. Still have fond memories of it though.

[@coreybaker2485]

😆 🤣 that sh*t was rough. I hated the yoga also. I now respect yoga after doing p90x too 😆 it's harder than it looks

[@archgrad00]

Tony graduated from my Town's high school. My neighbor went to school with him. (He has not aged as well as Tony). P90X is a fantastic program. This was used extensively in Ranger Battalion and Special Operations in the early 2000's when I was there. Arguably, this led to the evolution of cross-fit (also stemming from Special Operations training). Thank you for the review and thank you Tony. Well done.

[@madmax1717]

wow amazing

[@CoachRicardoFranco]

I met Tony Horton at the beachbody headquarters in Santa Monica.

[@FatPeaches330]

Toughest workout in this entire series; arm circles warm up. Fight me on this

[@MrColtnutz]

I do those warm up for every shoulder workout.

[@luken.1109]

P90x actually repulsed me from warm-ups. Putting and additional 15 minutes on each gym day and half burning a guy out before any of the real pain even starts!

[@scottallen6970]

[@TheGiftOf_Gabe]

P90X started my health journey 10ish years ago and I’m still goin strong and sharing these workouts with others. Thanks Tony!

[@ostracized_child]

I didn't realize it has been 20 years already. I still use P90x and P90x3 to this day, but nowadays I have much better equipment to use instead of the kit that you could have ordered with the DVDs. Thanks for the video. :)

[@yb554]

I kinda do the same. I couldn't do P90X-2 though. I had to do something else since some of the workouts there was too much for me that I didn't feel like I could push hard with it.

[@robertrocha597]

Every January 1, I press play again and again. This program still gets me the best shape than any program.

[@HotEFinTrash]

you randomly appear on my feed and have one of the most entertaining, straight forward, and rewatchable reviews ive ever seen. Keep up the good work sir.

[@DadBodCinematicGaming]

Even though my busy schedule (and improved fitness) made me switch to P90X3, I still get up early every Sunday for the OG YogaX. It's like no time has passed once you're done, and it creates the perfect mindset for 15-20 minutes of the deepest meditation I can experience. Perfection.

[@markmcla]

I haven't found another yoga routine that gets you in that same relaxed state as Yoga X.- Once you get past the "yoga belly 7" then it's easy cruising to the end 🙂

[@efaciler2462]

X3 can't hold a candle to p90x

[@tomdell9836]

I knew multiple people back in the day who injured themselves trying P90X. I can't blame the program as if you actually took the time to look it up on their website there were physical prerequisites they suggested you'd be able to perform. If you couldn't meet these requirements they suggested one of their easier exercise routines. Every time I brought this up people looked at me like i just made it all up on the spot.

[@TTony-tu6dm]

I’ve done P90x 25-30 times over 20 years. It’s kept me in shape and helped me lose weight when I needed to

[@Janesch]

Yoga X still gives me nightmares! Still the greatest yoga session ever recorded

[@sonja4164]

Damn! It's been 20 years?! 😮 Doesn't feel like that long! Good review!

[@BossDoogles]

The first time I did p90x and was able to stick to the schedule perfectly. I was working retail at the time and I was carrying 3 or 4 boxes stacked on each other. A kid ran around a shelf right in front of me and to not run him over I stopped on a dime on one foot, and held the pose like the F*ing Looney Tunes Roadrunner. The balance and control I had gained from the workout was unreal.

[@rogercollins239]

I loved this review just for the nostalgia it gave me. I did the P90X program twice over a decade ago, and it literally changed my life.

[@codyaust-g3h]

Doing P90X with my dad when i was younger was the happiest time of my life. Actually, what got me into fitness and why i bought it when i didn't have time to work out

[@gardenstateknicks]

Years ago i combined p90x and insanity and it was great

[@Shodan99]

Dude!!!! I had the exact same reaction to the Kenpo X! I trained for 10 years in Goju Ryu before I tried P90X, and after watching 7 min of the video I just ejected it and did Kata and drills for 90min instead. You are a legend, and I salute you.

[@MiguelVillasenor-c4m]

These videos hold dearly to my heart. It made me realize I can do way more physical than I ever thought.

[@Juliusnonbeta-be8lx]

P90X is the first thing I bought before getting into shape before I joined the military. It helped tremendously…thirteen years later I’m still in

[@Chris-Gagne]

I loved P90X! It got me to care about conditioning and eased some rough health patches. The thing that got me through Plyometrics was learning that Erik, the man with a prosthetic leg, is Erik Stolhanske, who is part of the Broken Lizard comedy group and played Officer Rabbit in the Super Troopers movie. If he could do it, I had to.

[@kmoody79]

This was a game changer for me and something that I will still do today. I have all dialogue memorized at this point.

[@AndrewSaari]

P90x is awesome. Life changing for many people. I would still do it today.

[@jpsnyder]

P90x was the first workout program I stuck with. It was easy enough to do from home with minimal equipment, and I was too nervous to find a gym. After that, I had a lot more confidence, eventually found a good gym and it's been 15 years of consistent exercise since then. It was hard to do consistently at first, but worth it. I can't imagine how much worse my health would be if I hadn't given this program a try. Literally life changing.

[@davida730]

P90X, a cheap door frame pullup bar and some crappy plate loaded dumbbells got me started lifting. While not "ideal" for muscle growth it makes it incredibly easy to stay consistent with working out which is the most important part anyway.

[@BruceLeroyUK]

[@ThePelon239]

Dang p90x jump started my fitness journey and I still use a lot of the stretches and exercises to this day. Especially the core workout. That was brutal back then for me.

[@DavidEllis-vi3vj]

I used P90X around 16-18 time frame to prep for the military and I still have fond memories of it. I used to have people come over and hit the workouts with me in my dads basement. I swore by those stupid elevation masks and used to hit the plyo DVD with it on the whole time. I do attribute my base fitness from this series. I did boxing, cross country running, and weight lifting the last year and a half of highschool. I shipped out running a 5:15 mile and 11:58 2 mile at 5'9" 198lbs 15% bodfat. I did Insanity later, but P90X still the goat. Might just F around and order it again

[@ralphy12345]

I got quite a lot from doing P-90X and really appreciate the program. I got bored after 5 years of it and when I could repeat verbatim Tony's jokes on cue, I decided to hang it up. I still do arm circles to warm up and frequently think of Tony's pterodactyl joke.

[@extra4542]

I recently started doing ab ripper x with my gf and I could finally show off reciting his jokes word for word 😏

[@TheMakersRage]

Tony Horton is in his late sixties and still looks as strong as ever. What a beast. P90X is still the locus classicus of all fitness programs.

[@CpIMayhem]

I remember buying P90X when I was living in the barracks around 2010-2012. Used to do the workouts in my barracks room with my roommate. The workouts were intense!

[@AstroVanTribe]

I did P90X back in 2010after seeing pictures of myself from Christmas of '09 - I was pushing 230lbs at 5'-9". I kept catching parts of the commercials then decided to look it up on KZbin - I found quite a few former Marines, both men and women, who posted their personal videos. Being a former Marine myself I knew I had the discipline so I went for it. In 8 weeks I went from around 228lbs to 187lbs and was jacked - I ended up injuring a shoulder doing the corncob pull-ups. I was recovering then tore something in my knee doing something else... That slowed me down. Then I had a motorcycle accident where I broke both wrists (one now has a plate and cadaver bone). I eventually got through all that and did P90X 2 more times over the next few years but I modified it to prevent injury. BITD I worked out like we all did at the gym, like a body builder would, P90X turned a gear in my head - These days I still use a lot of the concepts I learned from P90X and now just do a few exercises every week that incorporate all muscle at the same time while also focusing on particular muscle groups, as well and every day do stretching including the primal squat many times a day. I'm about to be 58 and and really keeping it together - I still have the OG P90X and think I may have to dust it off for a cycle... Thanks for the memories

[@lyndik772]

My husband loves these videos. We got them back when they first came out and still do them. I do a modified version of it, but they are still in our rotation of working out. That yoga is no joke. My hubs thought he could do this without doing those and realized, wow, Tony was right and they are important. I CANNOT do back and biceps with sound on though. Katie’s “I’m doing corn cobs” is still to this day like nails on a chalk board to me. The little suck up! 😂

[@RobClaypool]

Completed in 2009. Had great results and really kickstarted my fitness journey.

[@sealake7935]

This is nostalgic to me haha. My mom and dad got a DVD set wayyyy back. I used to work out to it with them frequently when I was a kid. P90X got me into fitness in general. It got me to start MMA as a kid and also got me into lifting weights. I think it’s a lot of fun, and it brings back fond memories of my parents and I spending time together!

They said if I hadn’t been already physically fit because of it my recovery would have been awful and potentially life debilitating. Keep up the great work, these videos are always so entertaining and funny.

I fucking loved P90X. I did the 90 day program like four times. After that, I made some adjustments to increase the intensity. Fuck, I love Chest & Back! I still remember the dialogue. I can hear Horton's voice in my head. "Chest and back is push and pull to the extreme. What's nice about it is the variation of handgrips, push up bars... If you can eliminate that mindset of 'I can't, I can't do pull ups', someone's whose goal is to do two or three could turn into thirty or more."

[@marc_likes_marketing]

when i did chest and back, i knew this was a winner. i miss doing p90x with my fellow co-workers. i ditched cardio x and kempo, though, and would do like half of yoga x lol. i still got insane results. looking back, i would be keen on adding chest and back to my current routine. it was perfect. legs and back could use more bridges and other hamstring/glute moves. still, the workout left my legs cooked. also, i loved the cast. so much personality. this and body beast were peak beach body. as for you, mr. parrot, i have always loved your reviews. thank you for your unbiased and funny (yet informative) content!

[@markmcla]

I still love P90X! I've been following these routines, as well as other routines for 15 years. However, I think you will overtrain if you do more than 3-4 P90X workouts per week. My favorite workout is 'core synergistics'. I make one modification in this workout where I substitute the superman-banana move with pullups. And just like you, the 'legs and back' workout terrifies me. But I still do it to stay in the game!

[@raleighdentcompany]

I still do P90X all these years later. It's still worth it's weight in gold. And your comment about Katie being the Jar Jar of the program is hilarious. The "I'm going to do Corn Cobs" gets me every time. I have to take a break from laughing every time.

I don't remember which routine I did but I remember that I was so unbelievably sore. I actually couldn't stand up straight. I was walking around hunched over, hinged at the hips for a few days. Everything hurt. The DOMS was actually insane and I've never experienced anything that bad since even with harder workouts. I remember it was so bad that I was supposed to go to a friends place and I had to tell him I couldn't go because of this. I don't think he believed me and I don't blame him. I don't think that I would believe someone if they said that they did a workout so brutal that it kept them from being able to stand up straight.

[@zunaedanwar5620]

@@nikitaw1982 lmao bro if you're trying to get into fitness, I wouldn't recommend P90X as a starting point. I'm much more fit now than I used to be back when I first tried it and I workout 2-3 times a week and have been for years. But the thing that gets me results is consistency and realizing this is a lifelong thing. Make it easy to be consistent, make the workouts short and easy and FUN until you're doing it regularly for months. You can ramp up intensity after you build consistency. And you can ramp down intensity when you want to as well, just be consistent with the workouts and incorporate progressive overload into your workouts and you'll get results over a few years. The biggest thing is to realize that it is not a short term thing, fitness and health is something you should prioritize for the rest of your life, otherwise you'll have more and more physical problems as you age. You don't even need to lift weights necessarily or do calisthenics. You can play a sport or something else that you find enjoyable and is going to get you closer to the goals you want. As long as you're consistent and as long as you're pushing for a little bit more each workout, you'll make progress. For a long time I did rock climbing as my main activity because I found it so much fun. Built a solid back from that. Over time I've transitioned into some calisthenics and weight lifting instead. If you haven't read the book Elastic Habits by Stephen Guise, give it a read or look up a synopsis on KZbin. It's got a really simple but effective system to build habits that actually stick. There's also a fitness channel on KZbin that I really like called K boges. It's just a no bullshit channel that makes short videos talking about sustainable training philosophy and methodologies. Remember this is a long game, a multi decade long game. Don't worry about immediate results. Good luck man.

ahhh yes I did several of these P90X cycles...well almost finished the entire 90 days.....ok I never finished the full 90 days. There isn't enough recovery time built into this program. I think most people attempting would agree. I definitely learned a lot from this program though!

[@markmcla]

I agree. The routines are great. But you have to be careful about over-training. I never do more than 3-4 P90X workouts per week.

[@DJJunBuggIQI]

I think it's relative. For me.. I was actually able to adhere to the schedule and completed his courses with great results. The soreness lessened to the point where I actually look forward to training every day and I find it manageable as long as I don't train the same muscle groups too closely together.

[@wciflanker7]

I found there to be plenty of recovery time. I like doing p90x in the am and then doing body beast in the pm. The first couple weeks may be a little rough, but the results are amazing.

@wciflanker7 we will pin a rose on your nose

[@idx1941]

I did 2 90 day rounds back to back. I got into amazing shape at age 50. But you can't sustain that pace. As you said...there is not enough recovery time. And if you can just feel mentally comfortable (don't feel like a failure) with plugging in a couple of rest days during the week, you can enjoy great workouts and make the program more sustainable.
