P90X Ab Ripper X

The P90X Ab Ripper X DVD always comes at the end of the P90X workout that you did. The only workouts that the "P90X Ab Ripper X" does not come on are the Plyometrics, Cardio X, Kenpo X, and Yoga X. The reason why is because those workouts use a lot of the ab muscles already and just as Tony Horton says, "you don't workout abs everyday."

So at the end of the workout comes a intense 15 minute ab workout. I have had some friends of mine call this "thigh burner x" because you do use your legs a lot. The benefits of using the legs and thighs so much is that you really get a chance to work on your core muscles. These are the muscles from your knee caps to your pectoral muscles. Anything in between there is going to be worked out.

There are 11 different exercises that are done during P90X Ab Ripper X. Each of them consists of 25 moves that usually take about 30 seconds to do. Stick with it while you do the workout. It took me over 60 days to be able to finish the workout completely. There are still times when I need to take a quick in between break because I am just so exhausted.

I took a video of me doing Ab Ripper X and put it on YouTube. This video was taken after 90 days of doing P90X. Before I started P90X I could not finish Ab Ripper and now I can. I had to edit some of the "easier" ab exercises so the video would not be too long and kept the harder ones unedited so you can see how challenging it is.

I did not get a 6 pack from doing Ab Ripper and that is my own fault. The only way anyone will get 6 pack abs is by following a strict diet plan. I eat well but sometimes I over eat and I'm not gonna lie to you and say that I don't endulge in a couple high calorie adult beverages from time to time. Depending on the lighting (LOL) and what I ate that day I can see a solid 4 pack. The only way for me to get to 6 pack ab land is to cut out a good percentage of the carbs I consume. It will be hard.

The moves are pretty simple to do and the results you are going to get with P90X Ab-Ripper X are going to amaze you. Sometimes I will just do the P90X Ab Ripper X DVD after going for a run or if its late at night and I just want to burn a couple calories before I go to bed. Tony Horton does not give you that much time in between each move so be prepared to be moving and grooving. It goes by pretty fast and after doing Ab-Ripper X it will feel like it was done in no time at all.

The names of the moves are "In & Outs," "Seated Bicycle," "Seated Crunchy Frog," "Crossed Leg Wide Leg Sit Up," "Fifer Scissor," "Hip Rock & Raise," "Pulse Ups," "V-Up Combo," "Oblique V-Up," "Leg Climb," and the "Mason Twist." The Mason Twist or "Kayak" is probably the hardest and of course it is the last. You will hate it at first but in time it will become your favorite. All of the different kind of core/ab workouts really burn deep into those abs. Your overall fitness needs ab workouts and P90X Ab Ripper X is the best.

If you do not want to buy all of the P90X DVDs and are only looking for a great ab routine, then you can buy the single Ab Ripper X DVD on eBay.
