What can you expect from each of these 12 sweat sessions? Here's an outline of each of the workouts in Horton's wildly popular workout program. Buy it: BeachbodyonDemand. This workout combines two of the largest groups of upper-body muscles : chest and back. And to work those muscle groups, you'll do two classic exercises: the push-up and pull-up.

If you're looking to get ripped arms and shoulders, this workout is perfect for you. This isn't your typical yoga session. It combines traditional breathing and flexibility work with the fast-paced and muscle-burning approach P90X is known for.
It's not a break from the physique-changing workout intensity, however. Your muscles will be challenged. Squats, lunges and rows make up the bulk of the exercises in this workout. Once again, you'll need a range of weights to accommodate all the exercises in this strength-training workout.
You'll also find that pairing your upper-body and lower-body muscles is surprisingly efficient. Cardio can be boring, but P90X has figured out how to keep it interesting. Kenpo X is their version of a martial arts workout. You'll kick and punch into the air to burn calories and improve your balance and coordination.

This workout is a series of exercises that both strengthen your core and improve your metabolic conditionin g.
The moves are very dynamic — you won't be sitting on the floor doing countless sit-ups. You'll need a pair of dumbbells for this workout, but keep them light around 10 pounds or less.
There are 24 total moves in this workout, using your arms so much they might feel like noodles afterward. The pectorals chest , deltoids shoulders and triceps all work in tandem to push things away from your body, so expect to do plenty of push-up variations in this workout. This workout hits the upper-body muscles the previous session left out — the back and biceps.
These two work well together to help you pull things in toward your body, like you would in a pull-up. That's why there are plenty of pull-up and chin-up varieties in the video. This workout combines all the cardio elements of other P90X workouts to keep things interesting and motivating. There's a yoga section, some kenpo moves and even part of the core synergistics workout.
This workout is short, sweet and to the point. You're going to focus all the attention on your abs as you follow Horton through this grueling routine. In earlier series, most workouts lasted 45 minutes to an hour or more. But thinking is not required. Be prepared as well for hard sells on various supplements, protein bars and meal replacement shakes. Also like its forebears, P90X3 keeps Horton front and center.
A little older and slightly less goofy, he manages to entertain without grating on the nerves. Another plus: he keeps things moving. In his effort to contain the workouts to 30 minutes, Horton keeps the chatter and instruction to a minimum.
None of the series demanded tons of equipment or space, but P90X3 requires only a few hand-weights, a chin-up bar, and an exercise band. What I can do, however, is state without reservation my delight in the series so far. Nothing has left me totally exhausted, but neither has any workout left me wondering what was the point.
In short, the program seems to be exactly what I need at this point in my life, between my ever busier schedule and perennial physical weaknesses. My guess is that with P90X3, the third time around will be beneficial for me, too.
