What is P90x?

P90X is a revolutionary system of 12 fitness home workouts which claim to transform your body from regular to ripped in just 90 days. If you don't have the kit already, see information about purchasing the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program (which includes 13 DVDs, a Nutrition Guide and Exercise Planner).

The P90x Fit Test

In addition to the workout program, the P90X has a fitness test that they ask you to complete a few days before you embark on day 1 of the program (and also on completion of 90 day program). The fitness test is used so you can chart your progress, and also to make ensure you are able to complete a P90X Workout. The P90X Fit Test takes approximately 40 minutes to complete, and all tests should be completed in the order listed below. As you will be required to repeat the Fit Test when you complete the P90X, it is important that you are able to do it the same way, in the same order.
