Comparing Ten Minute Trainer Yoga to Power Yoga from Beach Body P90X.

For anyone who has done P90X the discussion of the Yoga X portion of the workout is always one of the liveliest you will run into. Basically the discussion is for P90X students or graduates only and to outsiders can seem like they just fell into a Star Trek Convention only the topic is working out.

With a worldwide loyal following of about 5 million people,For fans of Power Yoga P90X Style, Does the Ten Minute Trainer Yoga Match Up Favorably? Articles it isn’t hard for P90X to come up without knowing others who have done the workout.  You’ll hear lots of positives and only two main negatives. One is that the Yoga X is too long at 1.5 hours.

People have long clamored for a shorter version of while at the same time admitting it is a fantastic workout. The other complaint is that P90X requires a tough effort of about an hour every day. There have been quite a few users who have dropped out short of finishing because of the time commitment and just how hard P90X is.

Out of these gripes has risen at ten minute workout Tony Horton and Beachbody claim will give you the same type of full body workout and ultimately the results that users are getting with P90X.  There are of course some caveats that come with that, which we have discussed in other articles.  One of the biggest is you have expect to stack 10 minute workouts daily to increase the pace of change and results.

With any ten minute workout Tony Horton puts together you will have yoga as part of it. This is where it gets interesting.  Despite the criticisms of Yoga, Horton has consistently been one of the workout’s biggest defenders and has deemed it “critical” to P90X success.

If the attempt is being made to sell 10 Minute Trainer with Tony Horton as a ten minute workout Tony Horton believes will bring you huge results, the yoga portion had better be something special in the ten minute program. 

The reality is that people who have done Ten Minute Trainer love the yoga for how it makes them feel and they do find it challenging if they have never done Yoga. However the nature of Yoga makes it very hard to get maximum benefit without a half hour minimum.  Yes, yoga in 10 minute trainer is essential, and beneficial to the user, but it is likely nowhere near what it could be. Users have actually said as much.  I can only add that if I were allowed to keep only one workout out of the entire P90X system, YogaX would be it.
