I started out hating Yoga X but now I love it. Im 46 days into the program and all I can say is that Plyometrics is way harder than Yoga X. I hardly sweat at all during Yoga X. Plyo on the other hand, has me sweating buckets.
Yoga X rules. All of the workouts are difficult, but Yoga X and Plyo are the two hardest for me. I'm 52 days into the program, and those two workouts still kick my ass the hardest. Out of all the workouts, Yoga X makes me sweat the most. I'm 27, weigh 220, am 6'1", and have broad shoulders with a bigger upper body. I don't know about other guys similar in size to me, but I find that having a bigger upper body makes certain workouts really hard, especially Yoga X. Lots of mass to lift.
@dantedmc93 Yoga is the foundation of the program. It's the only workout you do every week of P90X. The reason is that it is very important. If you've watched this video, you know why. Kenpo is pretty basic cardio, which you could get from a run or some other substitute. Yoga is key.
This a time where I wish I had much more space to talk about this.
The yoga is all powerful.
First off, it teaches you to combat mental stress and it teaches you to combat physical stress by using mental techniques. You can use the *ability to last longer* taught by yoga to do many more reps in all your exercises, while actually exerting less stress than you did before. I did way more pushups after doing yoga because I could just keep pushing my body.You get stronger faster this way.
I'll be honest, I still hate yoga! xD I'm not so flexible, but I was the one who decided to do this, so I do it! even if I don't like it, I still do it, why starting doing a program to change if you are not going to trust it will work in the first place, so suck it up!
I actually like the yoga workout, it is difficult and its good to have flexibility and there alot of isometric stuff on there as well, also tony horton is one funny guy, makes the workouts better, nothin worse then a trainer with no personality , big old serious head, not a fan of that, p90 x is great
I used to hate Yoga. I just kept trying and trying to do all of those stretches. Some days, I would make it all the way through Warrior III, some days I can't. But each time I try, I get better and better. Those that struggle, keep trying!! You'll only get better and better at it. Sooner or later, it won't suck as much.
@newlandsfaithful Yeah, you've got a point. Since this video Beachbody has released three other individual yoga workouts with Tony and the new one with P90X2. All of them are about an hour long and they are all much improved over Yoga X.
@thefitclubnetwork Really? I think i could do an hour. How can you get a hold of these individual videos? (Not the p90x2 one though). Do the stores sell them indivudually?
@newlandsfaithful Yeah. They are part of the One on One Series that Tony did over the past three years. Do you have a Team Beachbody account? Yoga X MC2 in Vol. III is probably my favorite. People like Fountain of Youth as well. Patience Hummingbird is slow, but very good.
I love yoga, is the best workout on p90x, i m 20 years old, and really fit guy, everything is easy for me, but yoga, and i got lots of results with it, i was like tin man a mont ago, now on day 27 i m gumby, i can go way further than my toes with my hands and i could not get to my uncles 27 days ago, yoga x rocks!
Heh...in sunday and i want to do yoga x before i do my x stretch....so i go to youtube to check out what people think of yoga x....and i find this jewel...so awesome :)
yoga x made me sweat the most but also feel the best next morning, i hated it at first, then i loved it because of how i feel the next day ! i do it more and more now. it's awesome !
@CODvideoPRODUCTIONS That's a question for your doctor. I'm really not sure whether that could cause any problems or be very good for you. Yoga X is very strenuous. My kids do a much lighter version of yoga and love it.
@thefitclubnetwork thanks ill think about whether i should not do yoga or a lighter version of yoga. i really didnt like yoga when i started it it just seems so dumb.
@CODvideoPRODUCTIONS i dont think it should b a problem. kids r much more flexible.n it's always better to start earlier than when you reach ur adulthood where it's gonna b much harder to become flexible. it's just like kids doing gymnastics only tht yoga is safer n healthier(i used to b a gymnast when i was a kid n i cn say the flexibility kinda stayed with me but not entirely. but i quit n grew fat, not that it matters to u LOL). anyway, point is, for me it's a yes. hehe.
@magunin21 Yeah. Yoga X is a great workout. I mostly go to classes at this point. It gives me some variety and keeps things interesting. If you think Yoga X is boring because you've done it 200 times, check out a class or one of Tony's One on One videos. The new Yoga X MC2 from that set is really good. Great workout.
Holy shit this guy might be a bit silly but i never gave a sht about strechting unless i was at a sports practice or something.... now im gonna do yoga lmao. i wonder what that lady was thinking when he was talking when he was bringing up the tin man and gummy bears lmao...
@christinasmckee She was thinking, "this rules, he's going off!" I knew he would when I asked him about it. I'm probably dating us here, but he's talking about Gumby, a character from a kids show that was sort of made out of silly putty and could bend in any direction. Do your yoga. It's good for ya.
Holy shit this guy might be a bit silly but i never gave a sht about strechting unless i was at a sports practice or something.... now im gonna do yoga lmao.
Yoga X just flies by if you just empty your mind. I was daydreaming for like an hour before I realized that an hour has gone by. It definitely worth it though. xD
My only problem with doing the yoga is....I can't stretch my arms into the "sky" because my hands touch the sealing. and I also have flat feet so it makes doing some of the one legged stuff hard.
I don't need to watch this video to motivate me to do Yoga (or at least X-Stretch). I just do it (at least once a week first thing when I wake up) because I know I'm gonna feel good for the rest of the day and all be ready to hurt adversity instead of adversity hurting me! "Thank you, I have nothing else to say" (Tony's voice).
i always skip yoga, it's not too hard, but it's too long and i get bored. i like to workout with my music on, and it just seems weird doing yoga with music that i listen to. i do cardio or stretch instead.
@pewpewlololo If you're skipping Yoga X to just do the stretch or cardio, something's not right. If you work to get into and maintain the PROPER positions in Yoga X, you'll get in a LOT more muscle involvement than is possible with the cardio or stretch and you'll be sweating your a** off. Yes, it's a long routine but if you do it right and push yourself, you will be feeling it the next day. Other than Plyometrics, it's probably the hardest workout in the series.
@jocwalk i agree with everything you said, but the problem is - i can handle the sweat, the sores, heavy weights and pushing myself, but one thing i can't stand while exercising is boredom. and i believe that it would be better to do cardio x that i like and commit to it, then do yoga just for the sake of doing it and waiting till time passes.
I hate yoga, too, but I do it every week without fail. I never once stretched in my life prior to P90X, and I have to modify some of the moves, but I do it. There is no excuse for not doing it unless you're physically disabled.
Forget the people who hate yoga! I love it! I feel so good after I'm done with it it's like I just woke up from a nap but my muscles are loose as a wizards sleeve.
Yoga is hard but soooo worth it, my goal is to do the splits again, I'm 25 but when I was 10 I could naturally do the splits. I want that again! I want to be strong, fast, healthy but most of all flexible! -crosses his arms in a X- Bring it!
this guy is amazing! I know some people think he is corny but I love his sense of humor and personality. He always keeps it real, fun and never takes him self too seriously! Really pushed me to get fit!
Yoga is one of my favorite workouts! I can tell just from doing it that it is easily the most important workout in the whole program. Without yoga, the rest of p90x would kill you! he is right.. without yoga you will get hurt.. torn muscles, shin splints, bad joints, those are in your future if you skip yoga!
@KurNorock All hail Yoga. I've been beating myself up pretty good lately doing triathlon training. I did Yoga X from the MC2 One on One's last night. I feel so good today.
to all you who think yoga is boring its because its the same music over and over which makes me bored to. so do the workout with the music off, which is an option in the menu and download a bunch of zen music and blast that shit! Also listen to pump up music durring every other workout. Its how i get through them everyday no problem.
@okcomputeA Great comment. The music kills me. I always play my own stuff. Usually something pretty mellow for Yoga, but I get it going during the other workouts. Very helpful. Thanks!
Granted the yoga is a bit boring and definately hard but i wouldnt recommending skipping it at all, believe me i hate those yoga workouts but after im finished i feel stronger for it... and if anything i feel centred and prepared for my next workout. If anything they give my body the push it needs to get rid of the strain from the previous workouts and get all relaxed and stretched out for the next one.
lol...i'm thinking of returning the P90X back to where i bought cos it's a tough program. but i'll give it another try cos i think i LIKE this man.. lolz..I'm not gay by the way.
I'm going to be honest and say that I skip out on the Yoga DVD. HOWEVER, I replace my Yoga workouts with the Cardio X DVD which has some yoga in it. I hope to become flexible enough to be able to complete the Yoga X workout. but for now I have to do my best and forget the rest =]
I want to add that I am 6' 4" tall. When I started P90X I was 311 lbs. Not all was fat but a lot of it was. I wont lie. This is my first go around with it and I am in the middle of my third week. 18 pounds so far. =D
@TimmyTwelveTux Awesome start bro! Keep it up. Recovery week is coming up. Give yoga a shot. It's hard and you'll struggle. Just roll with it and do what you can. It's really good for you. Either way, just keep going!
That Great!!! Also, you could find a shorter video of Yoga or something that might be 30 minutes and more for beginners to get you used to some of the basic poses and forms. Getting a beginner DVD at Target or online like at hulu.com would definitely help introduce the movements to you where as if you do Yoga X at first, it might be a little too in your face if you have never done yoga before.
You could always just download a pirated version and burn it on a dvd, i did that when my dvd player kinda blew up with my plyo dvd in it. Since you own the original, you are allowed to download it i believe.
@69ggag X-Stretch would be better. You could also pick up one of the One on One yoga workouts that Tony did. The MC2 Yoga X DVD in that series is great. It's shorter as well. About 60 mins.
@Suburbncomando32 Yeah, the P90X MC2 package will address a lot of these issues. There will be stuff that is super challenging, so you'll constantly have room for progression. The modifications will be easy, but the hard stuff will be hard.
@Suburbncomando32 I agree with you that the yoga X is a double edged sword. Now that I hear about extremely important it is, i'm going to go back and try to do these horrific hour and a half boring movements again. In the future, I may substitute the Yoga X video for a supplemental yoga video that makes the routine more interesting.
i need to hear to tony say this because i find yoga to be very boring not hard but extremely boring. i guess now im going to start doing yoga x instead of skipping it.
actually to me yoga x is okay. I dont really struggle with it except maybe for its length but once the vinyasas are done it gets easier. The one i do hate is abripper . It sucks to finish a session and then remember that you have 15 minutes more of abs.
i hated yoga during the first 2 weeks, but then i got a little bit stronger and flexible, i did all the push ups during the vinyasa, got my knees off the ground during upward dog, i was able to hold the right angle pose all the way, and now it is one of my favorite work outs i look forward to
@HLGToys you wrote this comment as if I said it, thats exactly how I felt. I hated it then I learned to love it. Yoga does equal the fountain of youth.
@AMPepin1992 Correct. This was filmed at a yoga retreat he held in Jackson Hole, WY. We didn't do Yoga X every morning there. Instead we did about 45 mins of vinyasa yoga in the morning and 45 mins of yin type yoga in the evening. He's a lot more complex than people give him credit for.
@AMPepin1992 He's actually from Rhode Island, but close enough. He goes to Jackson Hole every year for as long as he can. I think the book tour ate into that pretty good this year. My wife Monica is the one interviewing him in that video.
i do YOGA X daily. after i started doing it everyday, it seemed everything in life got so much easier. mentally and physically. been doing it for 2 years now. p90x for 4 years.
@MasterOogway1 Amazing how that works, isn't it? I'm always grateful to Tony for introducing me to Yoga. It's not something I would have been open to before P90X. So glad that changed.
I don't think anyone challenges that Yoga is not beneficial. Yoga doesn't suck. The complaint is that Yoga X sucks. To a degree - I have to agree. I think that it is great for an experienced Yoga practition. However, a newbie could very well cause more damage than good. Learning the correct form takes time and an experienced instructor to correct flaws. Incorrect form leads to injury.
@bt9772 The most common complaints from people are that: (1) its too long; (2) its too hard; (3) its not hard enough; and (4) "yoga doesn't do anything". The people in the #4 camp have likely not given it a try. I think Tony does a great job explaining the proper form. Yoga is a pretty tough place to get hurt unless you are pushing your body way too far, which you could do with stretching as well.
@thefitclubnetwork Agree to disagree. Even Tony in the video stated that often your body is not where you think it is. Therefore, no matter how good a definition of form he provides, you may not be executing the a particular pose correctly. I also take exception to the statement that Yoga is a "tough place to get hurt". You are correct - if you push to far (as with stretching) you will ge hurt. Unfortunately, a beginner may very well not know their limits.
@thefitclubnetwork As I originally stated - Yoga X is terrific for one well practiced in Yoga. However, it is a little ambitious and possible dangerous for a beginner. Just my two cents. Again... agree to disagree.
@bt9772 We will agree to disagree then. Yoga X was the first time that I really did any serious yoga, only having done the brief warm up in Power90. I was the Tin Man. An ACL on the mend and a bunch of nagging hoop injuries kept me from really getting the most out of Plyo and Legs & Back. Yoga X changed all of that and lead me to attend a number of different types of yoga classes. It's hard and takes practice to master, but so do pull ups.
@thefitclubnetwork Glad to hear you have had much success. I guess the real key is to find what works for each individual. Gotta say... overall the program is terrific. Anything that gets somebody exercising 60+ minutes a day is a good thing. Best regards...
Yeah, I guess people don't like it because it's the most time consuming disc in the package. Yeah, you combine Ab Ripper with the other ones, that'll make them about 75 minutes, but this one's 92 minutes. :P
I'm doing P90X for the second time, and after not doing it for a while, the first week was a real pain. But I remember that's how it was before. Usually when you get to week 3, you feel more motivated because you start feeling and noticing the changes. :)
I started out hating Yoga X but now I love it. Im 46 days into the program and all I can say is that Plyometrics is way harder than Yoga X. I hardly sweat at all during Yoga X. Plyo on the other hand, has me sweating buckets.

Yoga is one of my favorite workouts! I can tell just from doing it that it is easily the most important workout in the whole program. Without yoga, the rest of p90x would kill you! he is right.. without yoga you will get hurt.. torn muscles, shin splints, bad joints, those are in your future if you skip yoga!

to all you who think yoga is boring its because its the same music over and over which makes me bored to. so do the workout with the music off, which is an option in the menu and download a bunch of zen music and blast that shit! Also listen to pump up music durring every other workout. Its how i get through them everyday no problem.

Granted the yoga is a bit boring and definately hard but i wouldnt recommending skipping it at all, believe me i hate those yoga workouts but after im finished i feel stronger for it... and if anything i feel centred and prepared for my next workout. If anything they give my body the push it needs to get rid of the strain from the previous workouts and get all relaxed and stretched out for the next one.

I'm going to be honest and say that I skip out on the Yoga DVD. HOWEVER, I replace my Yoga workouts with the Cardio X DVD which has some yoga in it. I hope to become flexible enough to be able to complete the Yoga X workout. but for now I have to do my best and forget the rest =]
I want to add that I am 6' 4" tall. When I started P90X I was 311 lbs. Not all was fat but a lot of it was. I wont lie. This is my first go around with it and I am in the middle of my third week. 18 pounds so far. =D

@TimmyTwelveTux Awesome start bro! Keep it up. Recovery week is coming up. Give yoga a shot. It's hard and you'll struggle. Just roll with it and do what you can. It's really good for you. Either way, just keep going!

@TimmyTwelveTux
That Great!!! Also, you could find a shorter video of Yoga or something that might be 30 minutes and more for beginners to get you used to some of the basic poses and forms. Getting a beginner DVD at Target or online like at hulu.com would definitely help introduce the movements to you where as if you do Yoga X at first, it might be a little too in your face if you have never done yoga before.

You could always just download a pirated version and burn it on a dvd, i did that when my dvd player kinda blew up with my plyo dvd in it. Since you own the original, you are allowed to download it i believe.

@69ggag X-Stretch would be better. You could also pick up one of the One on One yoga workouts that Tony did. The MC2 Yoga X DVD in that series is great. It's shorter as well. About 60 mins.

Suburbncomando32 10 months ago
@Suburbncomando32 Yeah, the P90X MC2 package will address a lot of these issues. There will be stuff that is super challenging, so you'll constantly have room for progression. The modifications will be easy, but the hard stuff will be hard.
thefitclubnetwork 10 months ago
@Suburbncomando32 I agree with you that the yoga X is a double edged sword. Now that I hear about extremely important it is, i'm going to go back and try to do these horrific hour and a half boring movements again. In the future, I may substitute the Yoga X video for a supplemental yoga video that makes the routine more interesting.

actually to me yoga x is okay. I dont really struggle with it except maybe for its length but once the vinyasas are done it gets easier. The one i do hate is abripper . It sucks to finish a session and then remember that you have 15 minutes more of abs.
ceramiclion 11 months ago
i hated yoga during the first 2 weeks, but then i got a little bit stronger and flexible, i did all the push ups during the vinyasa, got my knees off the ground during upward dog, i was able to hold the right angle pose all the way, and now it is one of my favorite work outs i look forward to

@AMPepin1992 Correct. This was filmed at a yoga retreat he held in Jackson Hole, WY. We didn't do Yoga X every morning there. Instead we did about 45 mins of vinyasa yoga in the morning and 45 mins of yin type yoga in the evening. He's a lot more complex than people give him credit for.

thefitclubnetwork 1 year ago
I don't think anyone challenges that Yoga is not beneficial. Yoga doesn't suck. The complaint is that Yoga X sucks. To a degree - I have to agree. I think that it is great for an experienced Yoga practition. However, a newbie could very well cause more damage than good. Learning the correct form takes time and an experienced instructor to correct flaws. Incorrect form leads to injury.
bt9772 1 year ago
@bt9772 The most common complaints from people are that: (1) its too long; (2) its too hard; (3) its not hard enough; and (4) "yoga doesn't do anything". The people in the #4 camp have likely not given it a try. I think Tony does a great job explaining the proper form. Yoga is a pretty tough place to get hurt unless you are pushing your body way too far, which you could do with stretching as well.
thefitclubnetwork 1 year ago
@thefitclubnetwork Agree to disagree. Even Tony in the video stated that often your body is not where you think it is. Therefore, no matter how good a definition of form he provides, you may not be executing the a particular pose correctly. I also take exception to the statement that Yoga is a "tough place to get hurt". You are correct - if you push to far (as with stretching) you will ge hurt. Unfortunately, a beginner may very well not know their limits.
bt9772 1 year ago
@thefitclubnetwork As I originally stated - Yoga X is terrific for one well practiced in Yoga. However, it is a little ambitious and possible dangerous for a beginner. Just my two cents. Again... agree to disagree.
bt9772 1 year ago
@bt9772 We will agree to disagree then. Yoga X was the first time that I really did any serious yoga, only having done the brief warm up in Power90. I was the Tin Man. An ACL on the mend and a bunch of nagging hoop injuries kept me from really getting the most out of Plyo and Legs & Back. Yoga X changed all of that and lead me to attend a number of different types of yoga classes. It's hard and takes practice to master, but so do pull ups.
thefitclubnetwork 1 year ago
@thefitclubnetwork Glad to hear you have had much success. I guess the real key is to find what works for each individual. Gotta say... overall the program is terrific. Anything that gets somebody exercising 60+ minutes a day is a good thing. Best regards...

Yeah, I guess people don't like it because it's the most time consuming disc in the package. Yeah, you combine Ab Ripper with the other ones, that'll make them about 75 minutes, but this one's 92 minutes. :P
I'm doing P90X for the second time, and after not doing it for a while, the first week was a real pain. But I remember that's how it was before. Usually when you get to week 3, you feel more motivated because you start feeling and noticing the changes. :)
