I would partially disagree with this statement.
Actually, the P90X workout is not an easy workout and is based on mostly body weight exercises and muscle confusion. I would place good money on the idea that most of the people on this board would struggle or at least be challenged in completing the workouts in this program.
Although is is not a goalie or hockey specific program, it does address all aspects of physical conditioning including plyometrics and advanced flexibility. The P90X program includes a nutritional guide and really it is geared to weight loss. However, that being said, the workouts are intense and difficult it you put the effort into them and will get you in kick *** shape.
I would find it hard to believe that anyone would not benifit athletically from this program.
That being said, the biggest problem with it is what to do after the 90 days. However, most body weight programs will give you the same cardiovascular conditioning and muscle strenght, just not the beach look.
I don't think this program would be good during hockey season because it is demanding and could cause overtraining or exhaustion.
If you are a person who is overweight and wants a quick way to get into great shape and use that as a starting point ( and you have 90 days to commit) than the P90X is a great product.
