Power 90X is a weight loss, fitness and body sculpting system created by Beach Body, a company that offers other weight reduction and fitness programs like Hip Hop Abs and Turbo Jam. Power 90X or P90X as it has come to be known is a workout and general fitness system that claims to be able to transform your body “regular to ripped in just 90 days.”
It consists of 12 workout routines on DVDs, a 3-phase nutrition plan, unique supplement options, a fitness guide, a progress calendar and online support. The developer, Tony Horton, is the “personal trainer” for this specific weight-loss program.

Muscle Confusion
The program’s effectiveness, and success for so many people, is hinged on what is Tony calls “muscle confusion”. This means that numerous and various different exercises are incorporated (and encouraged) to keep the different muscle groups doing as many different things as often as possible.
Because of the number of exercises incorporated, Power 90X actually confuses your muscles. The effect of this is that the body becomes stronger, slimmer and more physically fit without the use of any pills or potions.
The reason for this is because the “plateau effect” is avoided. Your muscles do not get used to certain repetitive routines and so they continue to develop. You'll need to allocate at least an hour each day to your Power 90X regime though.

The different muscles groups that are being worked out are also lend their names to the respectiveparts of the Power 90X workout system.

Disadvantages
One disadvantage which affects a lot of people is that Power 90X calls for a rather drastic lifestyle change, which may not be suitable to some individuals.
