The program emphasizes full-body fitness, and consists of cardiovascular, strength training, and stretching exercises divided into three 30-day phases, combined with a nutrition and optional supplementation plan. The nutrition plan is broken into three separate 30-day phases intended to work in conjunction to the exercise plan. Generally, the first 30 days emphasizes higher protein and lower carbohydrates with restricted calories. The second phase aims for moderate caloric intake with balanced proteins and carbohydrates, while the third phase uses higher amounts of calories and more carbohydrates, in order to give the body enough quick energy to keep up with the final rigors of the program. A post-exercise drink is also recommended after each workout to help the body recover more efficiently. The P90X recovery formula contains 4 parts carbohydrates to 1 part whey protein, which sports nutritionists consider the ideal ratio for muscle growth and increased endurance, along with L-Glutamine, L-Arginine and creatine supplements.
