In this post I will be providing you with a free, downloadable and printable version of the classic P90X workout schedule. If you’re looking for the lean workouts, then head on over to my where you should find everything you need.
For now, we’ll be focusing on the ‘classic’ routine. This is the one you should start with, before experimenting or moving onto tougher workout schedules like the doubles or the many hybrids out there.
Here it is. Right click and select ‘save as’ on the image to the right to download your copy. You’ll need a PDF reader. Adobe is the popular choice, and you can find the Adobe reader with a quick Google search.
Why download this P90X workout schedule PDF? It’s handy if you lose your original copy, but it has other benefits. For instance, you will always have a copy backed up on your hard drive for the future. You can print it out and pin it to the wall where you do your workouts. Then you can cross off each workout as you go along. That’s a useful idea to track your progress and see how far you’ve come. P90X is a long, tough workout, and sometimes we can forget how far we’ve progressed.
Just want to see the P90X workout schedule without downloading anything?

P90X is about as tough as they come, especially if you aren’t an experienced trainer. You’ll be working out 6 days a week, with stretches or a complete rest day on Sunday. Keep in mind it doesn’t have to be Sunday. If you prefer a different day of the week as your rest, then choose that one and base your workout schedule for P90X around it.
If you haven’t yet read my , then head on over to read about it for yourself. P90X can be too much for some, but if you’re willing to push that little bit harder then the results will be so worth it.
