There are too many schools of thought to count on the issue of what is a good length of time for a workout to get the necessary results you want.

I am a P90X graduate. I have done what is arguably the most famous of the home workouts on the market multiple times through. The results have been very satisfying.

What wasn’t always so satisfying is the hour or so time commitment each day,Why a 30 Minute Workout is Just the Right Amount of Time to Get Really Fit?  Articles 6 days-a-week. Actually it is 7 days-a-week because the day off is meant to be a 1 hour stretching day.

When you are working really hard like you do in P90X, an hour is one heck of a commitment.

On the other end of the spectrum we have the 10 minute workouts. One of them being 10 Minute Trainer by Tony Horton. As you are probably aware, Tony Horton is the man behind the creation of the P90X workout system and is also the trainer in the actual workouts. 

The idea of a 10 minute workout with  the "10 Minute Trainer" sure sounds a lot better than an hour.  The thing to keep in mind is that the design of a ten minute workout is that you are maybe going to get valuable maintenance as opposed to great gains.

Not that there isn’t a great benefit in doing a ten minute daily program with an amazing and knowledgeable trainer like Tony Horton. There most certainly is.

I believe a 30 minute workout with many of the same principles you see in P90X emphasizing the achievement of the same transformational results, is the perfect workout.  Power Half Hour is that 30 minute workout.

With Power Half Hour you get the variation in daily workouts to keep the body from becoming too comfortable. This also creates huge changes in a positive way in a short period of time. There is resistance with body weight, resistance using free weights or bands, and high intensity cardio designed to get you absolutely ripped and feeling great.

Power Half Houralso has a well-planned nutritional guide to accelerate change while providing sufficient energy for handling the rigors of the workout.

Mostly because the people behind Power Half Hour understand which moves need to be done when, the extra fat time you have in longer workouts to achieve great results is shaved off.  

Full body conditioning, proper eating, emphasis on high intensity with perfect form, core muscle groups, and muscle confusion, all in a 30 minute workout package, make Power Half Hour everything P90X is and much more.

Power Half Hour is a super option for P90X graduates who want to grow and change with slightly less impact, and of course less time invested.
