The P90X workout program is an incredibly well known in home workout program. It seems almost every day after about midnight if you are channel surfing you are almost guaranteed to come across an infomercial featuring Tony Horton and his infamous workout. However in doing a little research I found that this workout routine is not confined to the US and is more “world famous” than previously thought. Let me show you what I found…
Today I ran across some interesting information while searching P90X on Google analytics. For those that don’t know Google allows you to search certain keywords like “P90X” and see how many times that keyword is searched for in a months time. In digging a little deeper I found that the majority of those searches come from the US however next to Puerto Rico the next country that had the highest amount of searches came from Iraq, this being even higher than Canada.
The P90X routine is sold only in the US, Puerto Rico and Canada so needless to say I was a little dumb founded as to why so many searches for P90X were coming from Iraq. Why Iraq, right? The only conclusion I could up with is that Iraq has tens of thousands of US soldiers, granted this number has been decreasing but regardless of the current trend there’s still a lot there. When examining just the average soldier it’s obvious they try to maintain peak physical condition but even with extensive training and the ability to exercise and workout out at the fingertips occasionally soldiers want and need more.
P90X has been said to be the hardest more extensive in home extreme fitness program that has ever been produced and put on DVD’s. Very little is required in addition the DVD’s to get in the best shape of your life. With this being said it is obvious that the reputation of this program is good and often talked about, so much so that it spreads over seas to soldiers all over the world, with Iraq having an extremely high concentration of active ones and therefore ones that are looking for an alternative to the typical boot camp style in gym training that they are provided.
My personal opinion is that the shear fact P90X is searched for so much in another country by soldiers that are already in great shape really is a strong testimony to the fact that this program works and works well. If your skeptical about P90X let that fact that the strongest and most physically conditioned soldiers in the world are looking for more and are coming to Tony Horton and P90X for their next fix.
