P90X workouts are making a comeback, so grab your gear

Tried-and-true exercise methods, like P90X workouts, are classics for a reason. 

The DVD fitness plan rose to fame in 2005, but nearly 20 years later, it's again gaining traction...even though we stream the content now! Those who've attempted it swear it makes for the perfect workout schedule.

"I think people are less likely to be attracted to exercise fads and will look for more established traditional exercise methods," Rebecca Convey, owner of Kinetic Pilates, previously told us about 2022 fitness trends.

Guess that's why we're revisiting this Y2K program! Find the best workout clothes in your closet and grab a bottle of water: it's time to give your mom's favorite P90X workout a whirl.

What are P90X workouts?

The brainchild of Tony Horton, P90X workouts consist of 12 routines to tackle throughout a 90-day time period for 45 to 60 minutes per day. A combination of yoga, cardio, weight training and muscle building, to name just a few, P90X is a customizable approach, a popular way to get active while still remaining in control of your schedule.

"Hybrid and all virtual models allow for more flexibility around workouts and can make various forms of movement more accessible to a wider audience," certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor Lauren Leavell previously told My Imperfect Life. 

No need to head to the gym or sign up for a group class: P90X is something you can do right from your home, all at your own pace. 

P90X's nutritional component

Exercise is but one way to level up your healthy habits: however, we'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we opted for sugary and greasy foods on the reg while attempting P90X. (But that doesn't mean it's a no-go entirely, so fear not.) 

The program offers a three-phase nutritional plan to help steer you in the right direction while building muscle and burning fat. (If you've ever wondered if you should eat before or after a workout, allow us to guide you through everything you need to know.)
