== History == |
|||
[[File:Tony Horton and fans.jpg|thumb|upright=0.5|Tony Horton]] |
|||
The system was developed by [[Tony Horton (personal trainer)|Tony Horton]], [[Beachbody]] CEO Carl Daikeler, Beachbody Fitness Advisor Steve Edwards, nutritionist Carrie Wyatt, Creative Director Ned Farr, and workout video director Mason Bendewald. |
|||
In 2002, Daikeler requested that Horton create a fitness program for people who were already physically fit. Daikeler then hired Ned Farr to document the process of developing the new program. Horton consulted various fitness experts and experimented with several disciplines to help develop a workout program with three difference schedules: Lean, for people looking to lose weight and fat; Classic, for people wanting to get both muscle mass and physical endurance; and Doubles, which was the Classic schedule with an extra cardio workout each day, for athletes to get in shape before a sports season begins. |
|||
Farr's[[documentary]] footage was used for the infomercials used to sell the program, using raw home footage supplied by P90X graduates. The "P90X: The Proof" infomercial won a Telly award in 2009<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tellyawards.com/winners/list/?l=All&pageNum_winners=15&totalRows_winners=6396&event=10&category |title=The 35th Annual TELLY Awards | Winners |publisher=Tellyawards.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> and "P90X: The Answer" infomercial won a Moxie award in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.retailing.org/blog/era-announces-2010-era-moxie-awards-winners |title=ERA Announces 2010 ERA Moxie Awards Winners | Electronic Retailing Association |publisher=Retailing.org |date=2010-09-23 |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> |
|||
In 2010, P90X sales dropped off dramatically,<ref name="bloomberg.com">{{cite web|author=Esmé E. Deprez |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-11-18/beachbody-thinking-beyond-the-infomercial.html |title=Beachbody: Thinking Beyond the Infomercial |publisher=Bloomberg |date=2010-11-18 |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> however, it still represented half of Beachbody’s $430 million revenue in 2010 and has sold over 4.2 million copies to date.<ref name="bloomberg.com"/> |
|||
== Sequels == |
|||
In 2011, the sequel to P90X was released, P90X2. Also a 90-day workout regimen, P90X2 focuses on an applied sports science called Muscle Integration.<ref name="beachbody.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/p90x2-workout-the-next-p90x.do |title=P90X2 Extreme Workout Program – P90X2: A New Level! – |publisher=Beachbody.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> Instead of working one muscle group at a time, P90X2 uses resistance on unstable platforms to engage more muscles with each movement.<ref name="beachbody.com"/> |
|||
In December 2013, P90X3 was released and featured 30 minute workouts as opposed to hour-long ones. P90X3 includes 16 routines, and includes [[yoga]], [[mixed martial arts]], [[Pilates]], and [[plyometrics]] with upper and lower body workouts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://dysfunctionalparrot.com/health-and-fitness/p90x3_part1/ |title=P90X3 - The Complete Review: Part 1 of 3 |publisher=Dysfunctionalparrot.com |date= |accessdate=2014-08-15}}</ref> |
