The total time of this workout is about 59 minutes.

The music is instrumental rock. I like the P90X music. It is not very loud, and you do have the option on the DVD of turning it off and having vocals only. You also have the option of having music and cues only, which cuts out all of Tony’s chatter, or you can have cues only, which cuts out all of the music and Tony’s chatter (I happen to enjoy Tony’s chatter).

This is a very high impact aerobic video, with a lot of variety. There is a class of one woman (who completed the P90X test class), and two men. One of the men has an artificial leg (which can really put things in perspective when you feel like complaining). I like that they use real people who completed the test class in all of the P90X videos.

There are different segments. The warmup consists of marching in place, running in place, lunging drills and deep prayer squats, followed by quad and hamstring stretches. The first segment has Jump Squats, Run-stance Squats, Airborne Heisman (stepping to the side and holding one foot off the ground while pausing), and Swing Kick. Each segment is repeated. After a 30-second break, the next segment has Squat Reach Jump, Run-stance Squat Switch Pickup, Double Airborne Heisman, and Circle Run. The third segment has the Jump Knee Tuck, Mary Katherine Lunge, Leapfrog Squat, and Twist Combo. The fourth segment has Rock Star Hop, Gap Jump, Squat Jack, and Military March. The fifth segment has the Run Squat 180 Jump Switch, Lateral Leapfrog Squat, Monster Truck Tire, and Hot Foot (jumping on one foot…really works the calves!). There is a final bonus round with sports-inspired moves like pretending to pitch and catch a baseball, jump shot from basketball, and foot drills from football. This is followed by about a five-minute cooldown.
My heart rate stays up during the whole workout. Some of the moves are shown with low-impact versions, but I don’t think it would keep the heart rate up without the high-impact moves.

This is my favorite P90X workout.

Instructor Comments:
I like Tony and his off-beat sense of humor.
