P90X3 - The Challenge Workout

P90X3 The Challenge Workout - P90X3 Workout Sheets
P90X3 - The Challenge

This workout reminds me of the P90X One on One Series workout called the "Upper Body Massacre" which is nothing but push ups and pull ups for about an hour, it really is a murderous upper body workout! P90X3 The Challenge Workout is very similar, but it is only for 30 minutes, as if that isn't enough. There are only 8 moves (plus a burnout round) in this workout, which doesn't seem like much, but once you get into it, you soon find out that it surely is a BEAST. Before the workout, you have to set some numbers up for yourself like how many push ups and pull ups you want to do, and the goal is to try to maintain that number for the duration of the 30 minute workout. For example: 10-20 pull ups, and 15-30 push ups. Yes, most people can do this on their own without the workout DVD, but it's a heck of a lot better workout if you can follow and keep up with the guys on the video, yeah....it's about trying to stay with their pace! We tend to take more breaks without these DVD's, but it's a true test of strength and endurance if you can do all of the movements, with less breaks, within that 30 minute time period. This isn't your grandma's old workout with Richard Simmons, this is the real deal, so don't knock it until you've tried it.

"This a great workout for Obstacle Course Racing, Spartan Race, Tough Mudder Training or anyone interested in gaining more strength and endurance"

I would not recommend P90X3 to anyone who is at a beginner fitness level, the program is geared primarily for super-intermediate to advanced, I don't care what anyone else tells you. Yes, there are modifications, but with the X3 movements, you will get the best results without using modifications. I seriously think that if anyone modifies a workout more than 50% of the time, then the workout is not for them. If this is you, then I would recommend that you try an easier program (such as P90) that suits your level of fitness to where you could do the movements un-modified, and get a full range of motion, and complete the workout with less breaks. The less modifications that you use, the better results you will get. And I'm not saying that you won't get any results from modifying, but how much is too much? Most people would agree that they feel more accomplished when they can complete a workout without using modifications. And if a workout is too hard, most people begin to feel discouraged, and they either quit, or get injured. Don't be one of those statistics! You have goals, you just need the right program, and the right coach to help you. So be smart, and choose a program that's right for you, forget about the media, forget about people telling you what cool workout you should be doing. Be safe, and if you need assistance with finding the perfect program for you, then feel free to message me, I would be happy to assist!

Like I said, it doesn't seem like much on paper, but once you're in the workout, you will soon find out that you are in for a big surprise. Make sure to set big numbers for yourself because when you set low numbers, it won't be a challenge, and that's what this workout is all about, it's all about the CHALLENGE, so challenge yourself! That's when change happens.

P90X3 Triometrics + 21 Day Fix 10 Minute Fix for Abs


P90X3 21 Day Fix Hybrid Workout
P90X3 + 21 Day Fix Hybrid Workout


Well dang, this hybrid workout literally killed me lol =). Now don't get me wrong, P90X3 and the 21 Day Fix program is for all fitness levels, but it's all about how hard you push yourself. If you are just modifying, or just going with the flow and taking a ton of breaks, then yes, it might not kick your ass, but if you are pushing yourself, and not doing any modifications, then you will see a big difference in the intensity. But that's for any program that you do! Keep in mind, if you are modifying a lot, then this probably means that you may be doing a program or workout that is way above your fitness level, and you may need to kick it down a notch to another program. I can definitely assist you with that.


Remember, the less that you have to modify during a workout, the better results you will get. Trust me, I do modify during some of my workouts, I'm human =). But if you are modifying every move, then you shouldn't be doing that particular workout or program. If you need help with choosing a program, please message me so that I can assist you personally.

So I did P90X3 Triometrics and the 21 Day Fix - 10 Minute Fix for Abs workout, and I did this with some very motivating people through this FREE Online Fit Club that I host every week. Imagine working out in the comfort of your own home with other people who live in other parts of the world, it's pretty amazing!

P90X3 Triometrics is similar to the classic P90X Plyometrics but instead of doing 4 rounds of about 4 exercises per round, you do different moves with each exercise having 3 intensity levels. Get ready from some LEG BURNERS! And if you're a beast, try kicking it up and using a weight vest =).

P90X3 Triometrics Exercise List: Part One
(each exercise is 1 minute at 20 sec per intensity - 3 levels of intensity per exercise)

P90X3 Triometrics was definitely a LEG BURNER! I hope to get better at this one. The fact that I am from Florida and there are no mountains, this type of workout is perfect for training my legs for obstacle course races in "high places". If you haven't noticed in a few of my posts, I mostly use the elite Beachbody Fitness Programs for OCR (obstacle course racing) as well as just to stay healthy and fit. When using any of the P90X Plyometric workouts, always land softly, and don't use a weight vest until you can do the workout without modifying. This will prevent injuries.

After P90X3 Triometrics, myself and my online fit club group decided to also do the 21 Day Fix - 10 Minute Fix for Abs Workout. I'm not going to lie, but the 10 minutes felt like an hour lol.

21 Day Fix - 10 Minute Fix for Abs Exercise List: (2X)
*20 reps each exercise
- Crunches
- Table Top
- Crunches: Right Leg Up
- Crunches: Left Leg Up
- Cross Crunches
- Tap Crunches
- Twist Crunches
- Oblique Crunches (each side)


Crunches, Table Top, Crunches Leg Up, Cross Crunches, Twist Crunches, Oblique Crunches

I'm going to give the 21 Day Fix 10 Minute Fix for Abs workout "5 Stars" and rate it up there with the Brazil Butt Lift "Tummy Tuck" ab workout. I don't care, I know that I'm a guy, but these ab workouts always kick my butt! I don't think that I've ever done that many crunches in my life in 10 minutes! Big props to Autumn Calabrese for this awesome workout!

My final words:
Both workouts are great and good for all fitness levels. Again, if you feel that you are modifying every move, then it might be a good idea to try a different program with less intensity. For assistance in choosing the right program for you, feel free to fill out this Free Fitness Program Assessment, and I will be happy to give you some options to help you with your overall goals.
