P90X Lean is for those who want more cardio and a slightly less intensive program. Make no mistake, this is the real deal and no picnic!

The P90X workouts are approximately 1hr (1 DVD) each day, 6 days a week, with the 7th day being a day of rest or optionally X Stretch. To preview the video descriptions of each workout visit the P90X product page.

exhaustion on each exercise. Drop the reps a little and try to fail at 10-12 reps with more weight. It's time to put the X in "extreme".
