How long are the workouts? How long is the average P90X workout?

They vary but nothing is less than 1 hour. Resistance days are 1 hour full of a cardio warmup, a little stretching, Lifting then a cool down with some more stretching. Then after that you do a 16 minute ab workout this is done 3x on most weaks so that is 75 minutes or so. The Plyometric, X Stretch and Kenpo those are about 1 hour each. Yoga X is the longest that is 90 minutes and actually really tough. Core Synergistics which actually may be my favorite workout takes around 1 hour maybe a little more I can't remember at the moment.

Takes me 40 to 45 minutes. Could go longer once you know the whole sequence and do all the warmup exercises. You could modify it to meet your needs.

No, P90X3 is a total body workout in 30 mins. Insanity is mostly cardo. Too much jumping. P90X3 is awesome.

I found it to be challenging for 30 mins the workouts are great and very effective, I'll say its kinda like a shorter version of p90x but Insanity is a whole other challenge within itself the only other program I've done that was on the level of Insanity was the Asylum which is sports training very challenging. Rushfit is a great program that gets the job done and I enjoy it

The workouts are exactly 25 minutes long. Shaun T calls the first 2-3 minutes of the workout a warm up and he takes the workout all the way to the end of the 25 minutes with no let up. There's not even a water break anywhere in the workout. It's really 25 minutes of straight workout.

I think that p90x was more about building muscle and looking good. P90x3 seems more about the ability to move faster, jump higher and look leaner. I like them both but the MASS version needs more strength training and less cardio. Aside from that I think its a great workout and its over in no time. If I feel there wasn't enough than I add more

Yes--but it's even better because he clearly announces the moves, whereas in a lot of the Sweatin' DVDs you are guessing. DVD 1 is 20 minutes Cardio, DVD 2 is 25 minutes Cardio and DVD 3 is 30 minutes Cardio. All the weight workouts are about 1-15 minutes. EAch Challenge is about 10 minutes.

P90x3 is completely different from P90x. Its faster paced and not so much about weight lifting as P90x.

They can vary, as you progress in the program they become a bit longer. For the most part I would estimate about 40 minutes.

Definately! Everything about this workout is for making you stronger, physically and mentally. I did P90 in the past and I think this is tougher since it is all body strength and no weights.

I agree with the others. I think it depends on your size, your neighbors, your apartment, and your ability to land softly. The moves in Power 90 aren't nearly as jump involved as programs like p90x or insanity. Also, the first DVD you'll work on for the first 45 days is only about 30 to 40 minutes per day. The second disc for the last 45 days goes up to about 50 minutes I think.

I am a personal trainer but am not associated with P90X in anyway. In fact, I will recommend you use a different product (Mike's Mix). Much more affordable and just as effective. P90X is a decent product but it includes a number of ingredients that are included only because it sounds good to do so but will have very little effect on your recovery. It is very important to take in recovery of some sort after a workout but can be done by whole foods if you prefer. Mostly, it's a matter of preference. Your body will absorb the liquid faster than whole foods but in the grand scheme of recovery, is not going to be detrimental if that's what you prefer. Hope this helps!

Although I started losing weight when I just went over 250lbs. I didn't start a strenuous exercise program like P90X. But before I go on, I'm not telling you not to do, or plan to do P90X. You should absolutely do it soon. However, before you start a program like this you might want to head to the gym 3 - 4 times a week and just do the elliptical, stretch and light weight lifting. Start eating better. You will start losing weight. But at some point it's harder to lose the weight. When you get to that point it's time to start thinking of P90 or P90X. You'll be in better shape and ready to take on the program. Although I started losing weight when I just went over 250lbs. I didn't start a strenuous exercise program like P90X.

30 to 60 minutes or how long you want to make them depending how long you do each exercise

Start with volume 1 and take it slow. The 30 min workout is challenging so do your best on the 57min workout. Pause and take breaks as needed. You will get stronger just stick with it.

I used to do only step, so I was using it an average of 3 x's a week. Now I mix it up with other exercise tapes, so use it about once a week. I do very basic step DVD's and I will be 70 yrs old in 2 days, and it always gets my heart rate up.

Yes. It is 30 minutes each. I own Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels, Amy Dixon, The Iron Core way, and Paul's Ultimate Kettlebell workout and this one is my favorite.
