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.
