P90X Workout Schedule
P90X Workout Schedule
You looking for the P90X workout schedule? If so, then you’re at the right place! On this page I’m going to give you way more than just the P90X workout schedule. I’m going to explain the different versions of P90X, I’m going to help you decide which version is best for you, and I’m going to help set you up for success so that you complete ALL 90 days of the program.
The fact of the matter is, if you don’t finish all 90 days of the program, then the likelihood of you accomplishing your goals (your whole reasons for doing P90X) will be slim to none.
So how bad do you want to accomplish those goals? How bad do you want to lose the weight, get toned, or get ripped? How bad do you want to get into the best shape of your life so that you can live as long, healthy of a life possible? If you really, truly want to accomplish your goals then read this “P90X workout schedule” post for beginning to end and TAKE ACTION!
What Is The P90X Workout Schedule?
Believe it or not I get calls from people saying, “So I’m not supposed to just do the DVD’s whenever I feel like it?” I even get people surprised to know that there is a P90X workout schedule. This is usually because they’ve been given the DVD’s by a friend, or they bought an incomplete package off of Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, etc. Or, they’ve illegally burned the DVD’s, or illegally downloaded P90X from the Internet. Don’t worry, I’m not going to judge you for doing that. Your day will come! :-) Just kidding!
There are actually 3 different P90X workout schedules. During each P90X workout schedule you’re doing the P90X workout DVD’s in different orders. Here they are-
1) P90X Classic
2) P90X Lean
3) P90X Doubles
So the big question is, which P90X workout schedule should YOU do?
Which P90X Workout Schedule Should YOU Do?
Alright, so I’m going to go through each of the P90X workout schedules, I’ll tell you a little bit about each one, and tell you who should do what…
Who Should Do The P90X Classic?
As the name implies, this is the classic version or the version that most people do. It’s the most all around P90X workout schedule. You can do this version whether you are trying to lose weight, just trying to get toned, trying to maintain your weight, and you can use it get ripped and add some size.
Men AND women do this version. I get a lot of emails from women who are scared to do this version because they are worried they are going to add a bunch of muscles like Popeye the Sailor man. Don’t worry! Tony Horton (the goofy guy who leads P90X) will tell you how to do the exercises so you don’t bulk up and add size.
So who is this P90X workout schedule for? It’s really for anyone!
Who Should Do The P90X Lean?
The P90X lean version is a more cardio based version. While you are still doing weight training like in P90X Classic, you just aren’t doing as much and you’re doing more cardio. This version is popular with women (but both men AND women can do it) since it seems like a lot of women prefer less resistance exercises like pull ups, push ups, etc. That of course isn’t always the case since my wife went through P90X Classic and she loved it.
This version is also great if it’s been years, and years since you’ve worked out. This will give you an opportunity to build up to doing the P90X Classic version. By the way if you’re trying to add size with this version, it won’t happen, so just do the P90X Classic if you’re trying to accomplish that.
So who is this P90X workout schedule for? It’s for anyone who prefers a more cardio based schedule or for beginners who want to somewhat ease themselves into P90X.
Who Should Do The P90X Doubles?
As this P90X workout schedule states, you are doubling up some of the workouts. Sounds crazy huh? :-) In month 2 and 3 on many of the P90X workout days you’ll be doing TWO workouts!
This P90X workout schedule is obviously NOT for beginners. It is for people who have already done P90X Classic, or who are already very, very physically active.
Since you’re doubling the workouts in months 2 and 3 you need to have at least 2 hours on those days to invest in yourself. So before jumping on this version, make sure you have the time, and make sure you really are ready for it.

Hi i have a problem here, now before i start the program i have one Question I’m skinny, I’m 6.1 feet tall(186 CM)and weighs 140.8 lbs(64 kg) , I’m really skinny, so when I start with P90X can i only work with weight training (back, cheast abs), for example, or i have to do the yoga, cardio, kenpo and stretch stuff TOO. Can i or I can not skip them? ohh i forgot to say, i wanna gain muscles ( Gain weight ) i ask because i dont want to DO the yoga and stuff then NOT gain anything or not do the yoga, cardio and then stay the same as now, So please help me, greatful for answer
You can P90X Classic as it’s laid out and still gain muscle. You just need to make sure you take in enough calories each day, maxing out at 8-10 reps, and taking in enough protein. Check out this post for more info- http://trek2befit.com/tips-for-muscle-growth
ok thanx, so i CAN do all exercises like yoga and the others, becouse i know one guy who said that if you do the yoga, cardio and stuff you will lose weight :/ so he passet them and only did the uperbody training for muscles :)
If you’re trying to bulk up, you don’t take in enough calories, and you do a program like P90X, then yes you will lose weight. But if you make sure to take in enough food, you’ll add some size. P90X isn’t a cardio intensive program like Insanity. It’s meant to be a well rounded program for anyone regardless of their goals.
ok mate thanx now i know this :)have a great day
I am wondering if this is right for me. I just had a baby, I want to get back in shap and not bulk up. I have a very small frame and dont want to look like a body builder. Is this the right way to lose my baby wight and get back to a healthy life style?
In P90X, Tony Horton tells you exactly how to do the program so you don’t bulk up. P90X is really for anyone, regardless whether you are just trying to lose weight, get toned, or even get bulked up. So yes, I’d say P90X is a great option for you.
What has gotten you to a point of wanting to get back in shape?
I have been working out and walking the treadmill but not seeing much results. I use to work out when I was younger I don’t have a problem gaining muscle I have problem getting cut. I have problems with my shoulder and knees they prevent me for doing things how can the p90 help me tone up and stay
P90X is an extreme program that gives extreme results. So if you follow the program as it’s laid out, then there is no doubt that it will help you to get cut and to accomplish your goals.
Hello I don’t think I will have no problem at with the exercise problem (Classic) but the problem I will have is staying on the diet/food guide that has been laid out by Tony. My question is if I don’t stick to the meal plan will I still see results?

P90X Diet Plan
I’m thinking about trying out P90x. I’m 6’10, 335 pounds, and it’s more fat than muscle. I have bad knees, a bad lower back, and a recurring pilodonal cyst. Does p90x gradually build up until you can keep up? I Want to tight my chest arms and thighs up and get rid of this beer gut! I’m way out if shape, but determined. Is p90x a good choice?
I’ve seen people your size get through P90X and lose all of the weight. It all comes down to your mindset. You have to be in the mindset that you are just going to do the very best that you can, and not worry about anything else. Also, you have to be 100% committed to starting AND completing the program no matter what. It will be a tough journey, but if you truly want to lose the weight, then it’s all worth it.
Why exactly do want to lose the fat?
I want to lose it because Of my health. I float from a 46 to 48 waist, Id like drop down to a 40-42 max, and start building muscle. My health will increase, I won’t be so tired all the time, I’ll be motivated to do something instead of sitting around blaming it on my weight, I’m also hoping for a better body, but that’s not a priority, my girlfriend finds me plenty attractive as I am. I’m also tired of not fitting in regular clothing, big sizes are Expensive compared to 2x. I ride my bike all I can, I’ve cut out all sodas besides the occasional mountain dew at taco bell or coke with my jack Daniels, I’ve also stopped having seconds at breakfast and dinner, and I’m going shopping for a good combo of supplements. I work nights 4 days a week, work sat mornings. I go out of town to Texas once a month, stay in hotels, so I’m hoping p90x is good to me. If if not in Texas im usually in the desert or lake. I have to keep my exercising to a minimum.
So you’re sick of being tired all the time, your sick of not being able to fit into regular clothing, and you want to live as long as possible?
That’s a VERY good reason to do P90X! Remember that. Write that down. Because there WILL be down days.If you’re serious about this, then go here to and go through EACH and every one of the steps-

Just finished Kenpo and I loved it. My husband said it was because it was the easiest. Yesterday legs and back was so hard that my legs felt like jelly. I cannot do the pull ups at all. My arms are too weak. But I keep trying. Loved the ab workout, I could still feel it in my stomach today……loven it.
Nice job with your workouts! The pull ups will come with time. Just use the chair and pull yourself up as much as you can. Even if you only do 1/2 pull ups, or 1/4 pull ups, write down what you do and strive for more each time. You will get stronger with time if you keep pushing yourself harder. Keep up the AWESOME work!
I have a question regarding the dumbells vs resistance bands. Which is better? I haven’t ordered p90x yet and I wanted to know before hand
One isn’t better then the other. It really comes down to your personal preference. I personally prefer the dumbbells, but some people prefer the resistance bands. If you’re on a tight budget, or don’t have a lot of space, then resistance bands are great to start with.
What’s got you wanting to start P90X?
I am currently following a weight management program. I am looking for a new workout program to go along with it. Can I do the P90X with that program or do I need to followbthe plan for P90X.
What kind of program is it? The P90X workouts are intense, and it would definitely help accelerate your results. What kind of results are you looking to get?
I have a quick question about the P90X workout schedule for the lean schedule. On day three of weeks one, two, and three it shows two workouts it says “Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X.” Do i complete both workouts at once, or do I complete on in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Furthermore when is the ideal time to workout? I was planning on working out in the morning before everything else.
It’s up to you if you do the 2 workouts back to back, or at different points during the day…just as long as you get them both done.
The same goes for when you workout. It doesn’t matter when you workout…just as long as you get your workouts done. I prefer the mornings because I get my workouts knocked out for the day. Just pick a time, and make that part of your daily routine.
@ Jonathan A couple years ago I went from 220 to 160 and I’m around 5″8. I went to the gym every day with my dad who is a great motivator. I’ve never liked going to the gym because I’ve always felt like a big wuss compared to the other guys. Anyways I moved away where the nearest gym is 20 miles away and extremely packed and expensive. I’ve been watching the infomercials For p90x For quite some time and it felt like love at first site. The thing that really attracted me was they didn’t sugar coat it by saying it was easy. It showed real people that I could relate to doing difficult exercises! I’m probably around 180 now and I want to look and feel better! I also had another question. I keep hearing about shakeology, is this the recovery formula from p90x?
Awesome buddy! Yea it isn’t easy…but it gives results! :-)
No, Shakeology is a meal replacement, and the P90X Recovery Formula is to have after your workouts to help build muscle and so you recover faster.
Jonathan I already have a Team Beachbody account, is there a way I can link you to it as my coach?
Yep! Just go to this post. It will tell you exactly how to make the switch-

Im 6’1 & weigh about 120. Im trying to tone up & maybe gain a little. What should I do?
What should you do as far as working out? Are you doing P90X already? If not…then do P90X! :-)
My workout area is in the attic and there is no place to put a pull-up bar. I’m really interested in doing P90X in a few weeks (I’m halfway done with Insanity now) but I’m worried about not being able to do the pull-ups. Any suggestions? Would I have time to pause the DVD, run downstairs and do the pull-ups? Seems like that wouldn’t work very well. Is this a dealbreaker?
No that’s not a deal breaker at all. If you have to pause and run downstairs to do the pull ups, then just do it! If anything you’ll get your heart up even more which will give you a better workout.
I completed the Couch to 10K running program in 12 weeks and am thinking of starting P90X Lean to get in even better shape. However, much to my surprise, I find I like running. How do I combine P90X and training to run a 5K or 10K race at the same time?
Cool! You could always replace the cardio days with running. That’d be an easy way to do the program and still get your running in.
hey Jonathan i cant use a pull up bar in my house is there anything i can do with weight to replace the bar and bands?
on my third week of p90x just been doing my best with weight not the bar
Got it. You planning on getting the chin up bar at some point in the future?
You could always use resistance bands and the door attachment kit here-
