P90X Shoulders and Arms is one of 12 exercise DVDs included with Tony Horton’s P90X 90-day fitness program. The shoulders and arms workout is 60 minutes of a potent combination of curling, pressing, and fly exercise movements that will do get your deltoids (shoulders), biceps, and triceps looking amazing.
You will need weights or bands, and a chair to do P90X shoulders and arms.
With P90X Shoulders and Arms, you superset the muscle groups to exhaustion. You will definitely be feeling it when the shoulders and arms workout is finished.
Tony Horton begins the P90X Shoulders and Arms workout with a light cardio and stretch warm-up that feels great! Do not skip this! Stretching will help prevent injuries.
P90X Shoulders and Arms is a challenging array of exercises like Deep Swimmers Press, Chair Dips, and Flip-Grip Triceps Kickbacks. The shoulders and arms workout consists of 15 different exercises that you perform in sets of three. When you complete the sequence, you repeat it before moving on to the next sequence of P90X shoulder and arms exercises. The final three exercises make up the “bonus round”.
Results? My arms were noticeably toned and well built looking when I completed P90X. The shoulders and arms workout was extremely challenging. I was able to hit my workout goals and progress to heavier weights through the 90 days.
Whether you are a man or woman, if you want some well built, sexy looking shoulders and arms, P90X is the best workout!
You finished P90X. Your body transformation is amazing. After 90 days of following the intense P90X program by Beachbody, you feel great, motivated, and have renewed cardiovascular endurance. What is next?
First, congratulate yourself on a job well done! In completing P90X and achieving amazing results, you really learned how to incorporate healthy habits into your daily activities. Heath and fitness is a lifestyle, not just something you do for a time and then stop.
Explore the possibilities of how you want to continue your new fit lifestyle. Each person is different so, my possibilities may be different then yours, but hopefully you will get some ideas. Remember, the possibilities in life are endless! Here are some things I thought about:
- Start over with a different P90X program. Originally, I did P90X Lean.
- Get P90X Plus and incorporate those routines into P90X Lean.
- Take 2 weeks off and keep a smile on my face.
- Continue my hiking and trail running, incorporating P90X into alternate days.
- Try another Beachbody program that will challenge me in other ways, like Chalene Extreme.
- Start doing indoor rock climbing once a week. Before P90X, I did not have the upper body strength to do rock climbing and am excited that now I do!
- Take a kick-boxing class. I know I can do it because I gained balance, strength, and control in Kenpo X.
- Fill my cupboard and refrigerator with foods that energize me and contribute to my health.
- Drink Shakeology everyday – it’s a great supplement to my daily diet and helps me keep up with myself!
The list can go on. I am sure you will come up with many possibilities for yourself. I ended up taking a break for 1 week while I decided how to continue. Then, I started P90X over again, this time doing the P90X standard program. I found it to be even better the second time around. I was able to get more out of it and push myself even harder. I coupled P90X with my outdoor activities, so for example, I would skip the Cardio X and instead go trail running.
I love my P90X results. As some of you know, a few weeks ago, I tore a ligament in my foot during an intense trail running session. My foot was in a cast for 6 weeks now. I have 3 weeks to go. But that did not stop me. I am still doing P90X upper body (with modifications), Ab Ripper X, and riding my stationary bike!
So, no matter what, you can incorporate some aspect of P90X into your life to continue getting great fitness results and living a healthy lifestyle. I am already putting together my fitness plan for when I recover from my injury to slowly get back to my activities, and P90X will be part of that plan.
The benefits of P90X are not just for now they are for your lifetime. Making fitness a part of your daily life is the start of the best journey you will ever take!

On Sunday mornings, the original muscle beach in Santa Monica CA gets a healthy dose of muscle confusion. You see Tony Horton, the creator of P90X is there working out with a group of friends. They hit the sand for some fun in the sun and of course, some sweat. Open to the public, this weekly workout attracts P90X disciples of all shapes and sizes. It was here recently that a new exciting member of the P90X club showed up: John “Spider” Salley. John is a 4-time NBA champion! At the height of his career, he was an NBA rockstar!
After 12 years in the NBA, John turned to TV and was host of the “Best Damn Sports Show” for 7 years. John Salley was also recently involved in celeb reality shows. He was also inspired to get back in shape. Then he found P90X.
John Salley says that he likes the fact you can do P90X in your house, you can be embarrassing to yourself! What’s cool is that P90X makes you younger. He brought his daughter’s along for Tony’s Sunday morning fitness experience.
According to John Salley, if he were a young baller just starting out, he would go shoot a thousand shots a day like Kobe Bryant, work on his cardio, and do P90X!

The P90X Legs and Back workout with Tony Horton is 59 minutes of highly effective exercises that work your upper body and develop your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calves. The first time I did P90X Legs and Back, my legs and glutes were burning like crazy! I just breathed my way through it, determined to keep up! The great thing about the back exercises is that your legs get a much deserved break while you work the upper body.
Although the legs and back P90X DVD is low impact, be aware that you will put stress on your joints. If you have pain in your joints or bad knees, proceed with caution or see your doctor.
Tony starts off the P90X legs and back routine with a great warm up routine and stretch, where you will be running in place, doing jumping jacks, and going through a series of stretches. Don’t skip the warm up and stretch! You need to prepare your body for what is coming next.
Then the real fun starts. The very first exercise is a balance lunge, where the top of your foot is on a chair and you lunge outward with the other leg. Now, deep lunge 25 times. Right then, I knew I was in trouble!
You get a leg rest every third exercise. The pattern followed is two leg exercises followed by one upper body exercise.
If the Super Skater and Side Lunges don’t get you, the single wall squat will. You squat with one leg only, the other leg straight out in front and then alternate every ten seconds. This exercise requires lots of mental discipline to get the job done! You should reward your body with the P90X Results and Recovery formula after your workout to help reduce your muscle soreness!
It is tough but if you get through these exercises successfully, your legs and glutes will be stronger and better than ever. I learned to love the wall squats because they are a great challenge and I conquered it!
The upper body exercises are a unique series of pullups. Although they are difficult on their own, they seemed easy after the P90X leg exercises and I was thankful for them!
Be sure to stick around for the stretches at the end. After a killer lower body workout, you need to stretch out those calves, quads, and hamstrings!
For the upper body exercises, you will need either a pull-up bar or resistance bands. For the lower body exercises, you will need weights or bands and one wall.

Which P90X Legs and Back exercise is your favorite?
If you have a large belly, then you have a spare tire around your middle. If you are already working out, you are well on your way to losing it. Great! That fat around your middle can cause lots of problems if you do not reduce it. According to the Mayo Clinic, your belly fat surrounds your abdominal organs and can cause you serious internal health like:
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Stroke
- Sleep apnea
If you are concerned, just get a tape measure and measure your waist. For men, if your waist measure 40 inches or more, you are carrying too much belly fat. For women, 35 inches or more is too much! Reducing your waistline takes work but it can be fun too!
Just 30 minutes a day of high intensity aerobic exercise will help you lose that belly fat. If you are just starting out, Slim in 6 or Hip Hop Abs are great choices. If you want a more intense workout, try Power 90 or P90X!
But exercise alone won’t be enough. You also need a healthy diet of whole grains, lean protein, fruits, and veggies to help you lose those extra inches. Don’t forget to limit your alcohol intake!
Did you know that by replacing just one meal per day with a Shakeology drink can get you on the road to your weight loss quicker? This is another great way to keep those pounds coming off even when you don’t have time to exercise everyday!

Roselyn Sanchez, the sultry sleuth from “Without a Trace”, says she had to kick her workout routine into high gear when she turned 30. “When it happened to me, it was like, what is going on?” says Roselyn Sanchez, 35. “My hips. My legs. My stomach used to be really flat, but now I have to be careful with what I eat.” She keeps in shape with P90X®, a 90-day workout plan that has 12 DVDs designed to target a different area of the body. “I swear by it,” says Sanchez, who’s been doing the program every morning for six months. “Every girl needs to give it a try. It will change your body!”
Roselyn Sanchez says she also stays away from soda, coffee and alcohol completely, and only orders cranberry juice when she’s out. Now we know how she manages to look so great on Without A Trace.
Roselyn Sanchez also said, in a recent People magazine interview, “”I do Fresh Dining, which is delivered to your home. And the DVD P90X—it’s a 90-day program that transforms you.”

P90X is a tough fitness program that pushed my muscles to the nth degree! I was sore in all sorts of new places from the P90X workouts and the X Stretch was a welcome relief! In the P90X 90-day at home fitness program, you have a choice on day 7 – Rest or X Stretch. I chose X Stretch every time and I am glad I did!
X Stretch is a very comprehensive stretching routine that lasts for about 60 minutes. You may wonder, how much stretching can a person do? Well, X Stretch takes care of stretching out your muscles, from your head to your toes! All I can say is that I felt great after every P90X X Stretch day. After putting my best efforts into my P90X routine, the stretching helped me a lot improve my flexibility.
More important, it helped other problem areas of my body. You see I work on a computer all day so I always end up with a host of problems, like: shoulder impingements, sore hands (carpel tunnel), forward shoulders, tense neck and shoulders, tight hip flexors, and more – you get the idea! Working at a computer can wreck your body!
X Stretch was designed to help prevent injuries when doing P90X. Yes, that is true but it also helped me with my work related issues. Tony does a great job of stretching out all the neck and upper back muscles, what a relief! I also love the wrist-forearm and Dreya forearm stretches. These stretches alone helped release the tightness in my hands from working at a computer keyboard and mouse all day.
X Stretch works down the body systematically. The back stretches are wonderful! My lower back is usually a wreck from sitting in a chair all day and these stretch exercises were perfect for stretching my lower back in the opposite direction.
X Stretch gets two thumbs up from me! I frequently do it more than one time per week. After doing X Stretch for 5 months now, my overall flexibility is awesome! My hands don’t hurt anymore, in fact they feel stronger. My neck and upper back are much more relaxed too. Best of all, I feel very relaxed but energized at the same time after doing P90X X Stretch.
If you are doing P90X, don’t skip the X Stretch! Do not miss the amazing benefits you will get from stretching.
Have you ever met a cat that did not stretch? Ever wonder why cats are so great at turning and twisting in mid-air to land on their feet every time or why cats are so relaxed? Cats stretch and so should you!

You have seen the P90X infomercials, or maybe your friend told you about it and you are ready to get going! But wait. Ask yourself: is P90X really for you? Why not find out before you plunk down $120 plus tax and shipping? Don’t worry, if you are not quite ready for P90X, I will give you some tips on how to prepare.
P90X is an extreme fitness program (that is what the X stands for). You need to be honest about your fitness level and ability before starting P90X. If you are not ready to start P90X, but do it anyway, a number of things can happen including getting hurt or losing interest because the exercises or intensity level are out of reach for you. P90X will kick your butt so play it safe and make sure you are up for the challenge.
Beachbody provides guidelines in the form of a Fit Test to determine if P90X is for you. If you can perform the Beachbody P90X Fit Test, go forth and get crushed! If you cannot perform the minimum requirements, you can do another Beachbody program to get yourself to the required fitness level.
Let’s get to the Fit Test and then I will tell you about some of the other great programs that will also give you great results and prepare you for P90X.
The P90X Fit Test takes 40 minutes or so to complete. Click here to download the Fit Test. The instructions are included with the Fit Test. Here are some things you will need before starting:
- Heart rate monitor
- Tape measure
- Partner to help record data (optional)
- Pull-up bar
- Timer (stopwatch or watch with second hand)
- Running shoes
- Towel
- Water
- Your “Bring It” game face
If you can perform the Fit Test, well, come back in 90 days and show off your P90X results!
If you cannot perform the P90X Fit Test, take a look at Power 90® or Slim in 6®.
Power 90 is another awesome Tony Horton 90-day fitness program that will give you great results! Slim in 6 is a Debbie Siebers 6-week program that is more basic than Power 90.
When you finish either of these programs, take the P90X Fit Test again. I am confident that you will be well prepared and ready to Bring it! See you in 90 days!

When I started P90X, tony Horton’s 90-day fitness program, my goal was to get lean, toned arms and tight abs. In addition to reaching my goal and getting great P90X results, I also ended up getting some unexpected results, which are a testimonial to the Beachbody mission of changing lives.
I had stopped going to the gym a couple of years ago. Why? No parking, too crowded inside at all hours, and smelled like a bucket of sweat.
Instead, I opted for outdoor activities like beach walking, trail running, and hiking. My attempts to continue upper body exercises at home were not working because I was too deep inside my comfort zone.
P90X fixed all that! I coupled P90X with my outdoor activities and in 90 days, I had my toned, lean arms and tight abs (and a great looking back!) Here’s the good part. People noticed. I took to wearing sleeveless or short sleeve shirts and people noticed how toned my arms were, the improvement in my posture, and the glow I wore on my face.
This great feeling from my P90X results is contagious – that is the unexpected result! Friends wanted to know what I was doing because they also wanted great looking arms, abs, and to feel better about themselves. I was able to inspire others to climb out of their own comfort zone and do something fit and healthy for themselves. I now have friends doing Slim in 6, Power 90, and Hip Hop Abs. They love the way they feel and the new energy that is part of their lives.
As I shared my story and daily musings on social networking sites, I received messages from people that I really do not know, who have thanked me for motivating them to achieve their own fitness goals.
That, my friends, is the ultimate P90X result. When you are a product of the product, you can help change the lives of others in some great or small way for the better. When you are healthy and fit, you can be happier and feel better about yourself.
