Sports reviews of P90X Plus: The Next Level for P90X Grads-5 New Extreme Workouts on 4 DVDsCustomer Review: It's Shorter, Leaner, and adds Variety to P90X Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The BEST part is that these workouts are SHORT!, you warm up,stretch, work out,and cool down in ~40 minutes. However, after completing both this and first P90X, this is more of a P90X LEAN and somewhat more of a "maintenance" work out.
Every day is a Cardio Day. The strength training days (like Upper+ and Total Body+) are WAY MORE CARDIO-intensive than those in P90X, but you're also distributing less time over more muscle groups (instead of POUNDING a specific group for an hour as in P90X) and you ending using a lot LESS WEIGHT compared to P90X. If you just do P90X+ for a while and go back to P90X, you will feel the pain and realize just how less weight-intensive it really is. For this reason I tend to prefer P90X weeks most of the time.
KEMPO CARDIO + IS FAR BETTER and more effective (and shorter!) than the original and forever replaces it. INTERVAL X is A LOT MORE FUN than Plyometrics, it's on par with it, and I much prefer the quick/short transitions between working and recovering, and it's lower impact/easier on the knees.
MY ONLY DISAPPOINTMENTS
P90X's YOGA X is an hour and a half!!!!!!! It's my favorite day of the week, but I would have LOVED to see a shorter, P90X Plus-LIKE Yoga workout with a heck of a lot less TALKY TALKY.
I don't love all of Abs/Core plus, I prefer Ab Ripper in general even though its harder. I like the seated moves(like Cherry Bomb) and the standing/twisting X moves, I'm annoyed by the hanging and push-up/plank based moves. It's ~5 minutes longer than Ab Ripper (which seems to bother me somewhat since it always lands at the end the workout) and it's much less intense, but it does work the obliques and other core areas more so than Ab Ripper. It adds variety.
NOW, I just mix it up, I usually alternate the two P90X weeks with a P90X+ week in-between, I might go back and redo P90X by the book again at some point
OVERALL, these P90X/P90X+ work outs reveal what a total waste of time and money my gym membership days really were.
