Sports reviews of P90X+ (1) UPPER PLUS & (2) ABS/CORE PLUS with Tony Horton by Beachbody
Customer Review: "You're going to become Spiderman, Superman and Wonder Woman all wrapped up into one"---Tony Horton
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
P90x Plus brings a whole new tempo and attitude to the P90x workout. The two resistance workouts move lickety split with lots of new moves using weights or bands, push-up bars (optional), and pull-up bar. The Upper Plus is 41:35 long, so it is almost 20 minutes shorter than most P90x resistance workouts, but it is just as intense because it moves so quickly and some of the moves work multiple parts of the body (i.e. core, arms, legs) at the same time like the "Fly Blast" and "Warrior Swim." The "Combat Push-ups" are very hard. They are military isos where you move your feet from side to side for each rep. It runs for 90 seconds, which is very difficult. What I've found with a lot of the exercises in the P90x Plus series is that they are timed rather than maximum reps, so they really test your endurance as well as strength. The "Shoulder Everything" and "Bicep Everything" where you do shoulder lifts and bicep curls in different positions isn't difficult at first, but they each run 90 seconds which really challenges one's fortitude. Traci Morrow uses dumbbells for the exercises using weights while Mark Briggs demonstrates the same moves with bands.
The Abs/Core Plus is excellent. It runs 20 minutes, so it is about 4 minutes longer than Ab Ripper X, but, unlike ARX, it does not consist of just floor exercises. Abs/Core Plus incorporates what I like to call "stations" (I've never heard that term used before, but I like to use it). You move from one "station" to the next in each round of exercises. Each round consists of an exercise hanging from the pull-up bar, standing sometimes with weights, in plank position, and on the floor. There are 5 rounds with all different movements. Most of them are 30 seconds long which is a relief when doing the hanging crunches because they are hard--especially "Mixed Bike" where you're cycling your legs while hanging. A couple of the plank exercises count repetitions. The weights used are very light (2.5 to 5 lbs for women, probably 7.5 to 15 lbs for men). Brand new moves are introduced in this workout including "Scorpion Plank" and "Cherry Bomb." New music is used in these workouts, too, but listen for the one played during "Wood Chopper"; it sounds like a whale sneezing.
I am happy to add this workout (as well as Total Body Plus) to my rotation and look forward to using it because of all the variety of moves it uses. My favorite workouts tend to fly by, and this one is definitely over before I know it, plus I feel good afterwards. Anyone who has been doing P90x for awhile will benefit by incorporating the resistance workouts in the Plus series to their regimen. I'm not a big fan of the cardio workouts in the Plus series, but they also bring a different style which is what "muscle confusion" and breaking plateaus is all about.
