You can burn a lot of calories using actual Real World Logic, Facts, and Reasoning if you're used to the sedentary lifestyle of Make Shit Up As You Go.

That's it, I have heard enough about P90X! My dad does it, my mom does it, and they've been divorced for over a decade, so somehow they each discovered it independently on their own, and they've been trying to push it onto me as if it was God's gift from heaven for almost a year now.

ENOUGH.

It's absurdly intense, though I will note it's a significant time commitment. I think the appeal comes from how quickly results are seen--doing high intensity workouts, especially for an hour multiple times a week, is going to have a noticeable impact on your body within the first few weeks. When I switched from running/general weight lifting to high intensity interval training like P90X promotes, I noticed changes in my body right away.

Edited because holy crap, my grammar

In addition to what keeperofthekeys said, it's also nicely comprehensive. Includes cardio, strength training, and flexibility work.

Focusing on the unimportant that looks good? Check.
Deciding that their own interests are the only ones that count? Check.
Following a self-interested pitchman as a guru? Check.

Yep, this is the perfect work-out for congress critters.

YES. I wish they would take as much time to give their brains a workout.
