Some people who order Tony Horton's P90X fitness program may not realize just how important the P90X calendar is to their success with the program. There are people who choose to ignore the calendar and do their own schedule. They may not do the calendar in the correct order or may jump around or skip days. These are the people who see little success from the fitness program. One of the major keys to weight loss and achieving the body of your dreams with P90X is strictly sticking to the calendar and the workouts that are listed.

The P90X comes with the fitness program package at no extra charge, which may be why people take head of it. What Tony Horton has done with the P90X calendar as he has taken his research of his workouts and put it down in the most beneficial order to the buyers of P90X. He has tested when a workout should be done and in what order the workouts should go in, so that a follower can reap the most rewards from the program. He takes the guesswork out of following the program and provides a simple laid out plan that is easy to follow.

The P90X calendar was developed with both physical strength and mental strength in mind. Tony took into consideration how far a person could be pushed in a certain period of time. He makes it difficult enough that your body will shed the weight but also makes the schedule so that people actually can succeed and not just quit the whole fitness program. He employed the muscle confusion principle, so everyday is a different workout from the last. The body will constantly be challenged everyday so that it stays in the fat burning mode.

The P90X calendar takes you through three different phases of the fitness program. In the beginning you start off with less intensity, but by the third stage and end of the 90 days you are full out high-intensity training everyday. At the end of each phase, the calendar has a spot for you to record your measurements and body fat percentage to see how far you have come. It is recommended that you take a before picture and then one after you complete each phase of the program. By taking pictures you can see the physical results right in front of you, as it is harder to see the long term results on yourself when you look at yourself everyday.

If you want to have success with Tony Horton's P90X, then you definitely need to follow the calendar exactly as Tony laid it out. It is the only way to maximize your results and truly get the lean and ripped body that you wanted when you ordered the fitness program.
