You may have heard about the P90X workout program, but may not know that much about what exact exercises it incorporates into the program. P90X is not your run of the mill workout. Tony Horton has designed the workout program to push people to their limits so they can get a ripped body in only 90 days.

There are 12 workouts that come with the P90X program:

• Chest and Back

• Plyometrics

• Shoulders and Arms

• Yoga X

• Legs and Back

• Kenpo X

• X Stretch

• Core Synergistics

• Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps

• Back and Biceps

• Cardio X

• Ab Ripper X

•

As you can see from the above list of the workout DVDs that are included in the P90X system, there are several of them that focus on the arms. Both men and women love to be able to have tight and toned arms. For women, being able to wear sleeveless dresses and shirts is a big reason for tightening up the arms, while most men like the look of a bulging bicep or just want more definition in their arms.

There are several different arm exercises that Tony Horton incorporates into the workout program. It's the way that he uses the exercise sequences in the DVDs that makes them so effective for not only strengthening but also burning fat. There are no secret exercises that he pulls out as he uses classic arm exercises but uses them in such a way that you are sure to develop muscle and see your arms getting toned quickly.

In the shoulders and arms workout DVD, Tony has you doing a variety of presses, curls, and fly movements which all work in combination with each other to give you a complete arm and shoulder workout. The chest, shoulders, and triceps workout involves plenty of extensions, presses, and flys to get a leaner upper body. Many people tend to work out the front of the arms (biceps) but tend to forget that working out the back of the arms (triceps) is just as important if you want toned and defined arms. The back and biceps workout DVD contains a variety of curls and pull downs that will have your back and biceps burning, but in a good way. The exercises go from working the back to the biceps and then back to the back again and keep repeating this to not only strengthen the muscles but to also get your heart rate up and burn calories as well.

There are other workouts in the P90x system that also involves arm exercises such as yoga. Some people may not realize how well yoga can build up not only flexibility but also your strength. Holding some of those yoga poses will have your arms shaking and burning.

The P90X workout program is a total body workout system that focuses on key areas of the body on certain days. With so many arm exercises that are doable for men and women, the program can have you showing off your toned biceps in no time.
