Here’s why P90X performance products are great for any fitness program from P90X to Turbo Jam to running, walking, or weight training.

• P90X Peak Health Formula (PHF) contains active ingredients that are in ActiVit, plus a variety of other ingredients chosen specifically to support performance. For example, it contains CoQ10 for energy and cardiovascular support, and “tocotrienols” (members of the vitamin E family), which play multiple important roles in supporting overall health. If you are serious about really stepping up your fitness and overall health, this is a serious product that will help meet your needs.
• P90X Results and Recovery Formula is sort of a two-in-one drink that’s one of my favorite products in our entire line. This recovery drink is effective for any exercise program because it contains ingredients that help with muscle repair, whether you’re stretching muscles with yoga or pushing them hard with extreme fitness workouts. It’s important to recover completely from rigorous exercise so you can put as much into, and reap better rewards from, all the workouts that follow. You can also drink it as a delicious energy drink to usewhile you are exercising. Maintaining peak energy while working out ensures you’ll be able to give maximum effort and get maximum results. You need energy, in the form of carbohydrates, for this to happen and a serving of P90X Results and Recovery Formula provides 43 grams of healthy carbohydrates to fuel your workout. Note: When you don’t want to take in as many calories during a workout, just mix it half-strength. You still get a great energy boost but with fewer calories.
• P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars are an excellent snack or occasional meal replacement because they provide 18 grams of highly bioavailable (easily digestible) protein per bar. They satisfy hunger and taste great so they’re perfect for workouts like hiking. I keep these bars handy wherever I go.

Just like all the other Beachbody Nutritionals products, our P90X line is a great part of any fitness routine because it helps you keep up with your workouts so you will see—and feel—better results.

I started working out with P90X in August 2009. Before I started the program my main fitness goal was to build muscle and gain weight. I’ve been around 170lbs since high school and wanted to gain around 15lbs of muscle. Everything that I had read about P90X told me that this program would help you LOSE weight, not gain it. Well, after seeing the P90X infomercials over and over I decided to give it try anyways.

Can You Gain Weight with P90X?

So now I am officially a graduate of P90X and while I feel in amazing shape, am more defined then ever before I didn’t feel as though I put on the weight. Well this past Monday I had a visit to my doctor for my yearly visit and as usual they weigh me in before every visit. I stepped on the scale and to my amazement I weighed in at 184.4lbs! I was blown away. I actually to stand on the scale again because I didn’t believe what I just saw. I have gained 14lbs in 12 weeks.

So how did I put on 14lbs of muscle while working out with P90X? I’ll tell you.

Here is How I Gained Weight with P90X

Based on the nutritional guide that comes with the P90X system it recommends that I consume around 2700 calories per day to maintain my weight. Obviously if you want to lose weight you make sure that you consume less than that number and if you want to gain weight you need to consume more calories than what is recommended for you. So that’s exactly what I did. Working out with P90X increases your appetite because your metabolism is working in overdrive. Every day I have made a conscious effort to consume around 3000 calories, or at least that is my goal.

Gaining Weight with P90X is All About Proper Nutrition

I start off every morning with 2 packets of instant oatmeal (Maple and Brown Sugar to be specific) and a weight gainer shake containing around 500 calories. I get another 250 calories from a P90X protein bar as a mid-morning snack. Lunch usually consists of a ham and turkey sandwich with a side. A mid-afternoon snack is usually a protein shake or some fruit or yogurt. I usually workout before dinner so I will have my recovery drink after my workout then dinner about an hour later. I have to be honest in saying that I have not followed the P90X nutritional guide to a ‘T’. My only nutritional goals were to eat as many “good” calories as possible and make sure that I was getting around 7 servings of protein per day. That’s it.

I’m proof that gaining weight with P90X CAN be done. Whether your goals are to lose or gain weight P90X is the perfect program to achieve either goal.
