In this post, we’ll cover the P90X workout schedule in detail. I’ll also provide you with the following documents to measure your results and track your workout progress:
The P90X workout is a demanding home exercise program, there’s no doubt. However, tracking your progress during the 90 day program will go a long way in keeping you on track to meet your fitness goals.
While there are several different paths you can take when it comes to your P90X workouts (P90X Classic, P90X Lean, and P90X Doubles), we’ll be focusing on the P90X workout schedule for the classic version in this article.
The P90X Classic schedule is split up into three different sections: Weeks 1-4, 5-8, and 9-12. Each segment is made up of 3 intense weeks of training, immediately followed by a recovery week.
*Please note: I am against the practice of yoga due to its connection with eastern spirituality, and I strongly recommend that you skip this part of the program.

When it comes to working out, I’ve always been a stickler for documenting daily progress. In my opinion, it’s really the only way to truly measure the results you experience from a workout program or change to your daily diet.
Always remember that improving your physique is a gradual journey, and it’s often easy to overlook the small, daily results we see when we look in the mirror. Recording everything with this P90X worksheet has been invaluable to me, and I highly recommend that you try it for yourself.
Last but not least, I also wanted to share this awesome P90X spreadsheet with you. It’s nothing short of amazing, and will definitely come in handy as you work your way through the 90 day P90X workouts.

2I’ve turned 30 and I am ready to lose these extra 10 lbs. I’ve tried it all. I’ll lose weight and gain it back. I’m tired of the rollercoaster. I want a healthier lifestyle and I think P90X maybe what I need to get out of the bed/coach and get moving. Wish Me Luck!!!
