Hi Tracy....I actually am doing a P90X rotation with freestyle and running for my cardio. I think you can integrate them both but yes it will take some time. With doing freesyle 4-6 days a week (you might have to go to 4 days) You could get by with 90 min a day. Most of the P90X workouts are about an hour long. P90X Yoga is 90 min but I have done other power yogas that are closer to 60 min. I made it fine thru the first week of this rotation. I did Freestlye 5 days of the week...I do sometimes add some Cathe upper body if I feel like I need to but P90X is awesome for upper body and core work....

Hi Tracy & Carole,
I am planning on doing the same thing with my next P90X rotation. Sounds like it will take a bit more time, but will be worth it, I'm sure. I'm planning my rotation to finish in the late spring, once short & tank top weather returns to MT!!

Tracy, if you want. I'll keep track of my time this week and let you know. I am sure you can get by with 60 min some days. The P90X Legs & Back workout can be used for a freestyle leg day and it takes about an hour total. I have more time on Mondays and Saturdays so that's when I try for a longer workout.
Edie...that would be very good timing on your part! I didn't realize how much I missed P90X! I decided to do it now while waiting for Cathe's new DVD's.......Carole

...CaroleI just started a P90X rotation and am also interested in freestyle. What would a combination of the two be like? I'd be doing P90X one day, say, chest and back, and then....what? What would the rest of the workout look like? I think I am really confused because I thought freestyle training was for legs only. I missed something somewhere along the line.
I'm going to check out freestyle though. I think P90x is going to bulk my legs too much.

Kristen...I'll be happy to go and check your question out...
Sparrow first off P90X will NOT bulk your legs as there is only one DVD (one workout a week)with actual Leg exercises. Freestyle is for legs and abs for the pear shaped that bulks with heavy weight workouts in the lower body. Freestyle is done 4-6 days a week, so adding it to an actual P90X rotation will take some extra time........Carole
