While the P90X exercise program is an incredibly effective home workout system, it does require a significant time commitment when compared to other exercise routines. So what if you’re incredibly busy but still want to use P90X to get fit?
In this article, we’ll go over several ways to make time for your P90X exercise program workouts. Hopefully these tips will prove to be helpful as you’re juggling P90X and other time-consuming commitments.
First of all, it’s important to eliminate all excuses. Before you even begin P90X, make a decision to fit your daily workouts in — no matter what. Removing the option of procrastination is half the battle.
Secondly, cut back on TV time. Statistics show that most adults spend between 4 and 5 hours a day in front of the television. Watching TV can be a good way to wind down after a hectic day, but watching it for hours on end is extremely unproductive.
Last but not least, become a morning person! Studies have shown that people who exercise first thing in the morning are more likely to stick to their workout programs. Getting P90X out of the way early every day will prevent unexpected daily occurrences from taking priority over your workouts.
Hopefully these time management tips will come in handy when it comes to finding time for the P90X exercise program. Keep pushing play!

1Consistently finding time to fit my workouts in is one thing I’ve always struggled with. I like your suggestion of becoming a morning person (although easier said than done, right?
). I’m going to try doing my workouts first thing in the morning, we’ll see how it goes!
Thanks for the tips…

2I totally agree that working out in the morning is the best. Several reasons why.
- It’s great to have it done in the morning. In the evening you tend to be tired and it’s easy to find an excuse.
- If you go up early you need to go to bed early and that means that you sleep during the best hours of the night.
- Working out in the morning boosts my confidence, I’m working out when others sleep.
Workout in the morning. When you get the hang of it you will love it.

3I found that working out with someone helps tremendously! My husband and I are on our 1st phase 4th week of P90X and we love it!

4my husband and I are doing P90X and are in our 5th week, phase II – he has lost weight and is looking great. On the other hand, I have gained weight (which everyone says is muscle – but tell me why have I busted out of the clothes I was wearing when I started? I had to buy new because literally, I can’t even button them?) and my abdomen is bloated and I have an overall sense of bloating. I feel great because the workouts and diet are great – but I am just puzzled at my results. I am not extremely overweight – only 25-30lbs and I am eating according to the diet plan. No sodas, no alcohol, no cream/sugar in my coffee!! What does a girl gotta do to lose some weight!?!

7Polly, I think the P90X Nutrition guide overestimates how many calories are burned with each workout. I doubt any of the workouts burn close to 600 calories, aside from the plyo workout, so if you’ve been adding an allowance for an extra 600 calories to your diet (as the nutrition guide tells you to do), that might account for your extra weight gain.
I’m currently on week 9 of the program and I’ve seen good results. I was about 153 lbs and wearing size 10/12 when I started and now I’m about 145 lbs (despite gaining muscle mass) and I can wear size 8/10.
However, I chose not to follow the P90X Nutrition program. It seemed too resistrictive and difficult to follow, and to me, it seemed like there was too much protein in the diet and not enough fruits and vegetables.
