Hmm…how to review something that you don’t like, that is the real talk of today’s post. Cristen and I recently completed the Saturday Special with our P90 journey. While we were in LOVE with Sweat A and Sculpt A, our P90 Saturday Special Review has a bit more to discuss!
P90 Saturday Special Review – Our Video Review
Check out our video review where we recap the P90 Saturday Special Review, share some motivation, and show you some of our moves!
P90 Saturday Special Review of the Moves
We felt like most of the moves in the P90 Saturday Special involved a lot of core work (you know, those crazy abs!).
Most of the P90 Saturday Special started with a glimpse of Sweat A, with press jacks and general lateral runs.
But then…
The SPECIAL came forward in “Saturday Special”!
- Core Cardio – Think of this entire workout as a Core Cardio workout. No, this isn’t necessarily a stretching or “cool down” workout. Since this is the workout before your rest day, Tony is going to make sure you ROCK IT before you get your break for the week.
- If it was easy, everyone would do it – What if I would tell you that ALL you have to do is eat Krispie Kreme doughnuts every day and you’ll lose body fat and get slim and sexy abs? Sounds fun and easy, right? While that stuff doesn’t work (darn it!), the stuff that DOES work isn’t easy. So even if you get frustrated or can’t keep up, give it your all. If it was easy, everyone would do it! As a matter of fact, the more you push through vs giving up, the more you’ll improve and get the results you see on the informercials.
- MODIFY is OK! – Even if you have a hard time following the modifier in the P90 Saturday Special review, don’t worry! As I mention in the video above, do your best, even if you have to modify the moves MORE than the modifier in the video is currently doing. As you progress you’ll get better.

Just started P90 a few weeks ago and although I did 2 rounds of P90X 5 years ago I would have to say that at age 57 the Saturday Special is beyond my capabilities. I’m athletic for my age, can still do 50 pushups and have a max heart rate of 189 but with my tight lower back and hamstrings this workout is over the top. so I am planning on just substituting P90X shoulders and back on Saturdays. It looks like a great workout but really doesn’t fit the “beginner” mold that P90 sells itself as.
My other comment would be that while I enjoy the sculpt A and sweat A there is almost no warm up and stretch unlike P90X.
SweetLifeCoach says
@Chris definitely understand your point and I agree – Saturday Special is a bit out of the league and I was very surprised by it. Even Sweat C, I felt, was a much better workout than Special. I guess there are always going to be those “interesting” workouts in the bunch, but the good ones like the Sweats make up for that. Keep rocking and great job on the max heart of 189 – for age 57 that is great during workouts!

Tight lower back and hamstrings? Then shoulders and back is probably the wrong workout to be substituting with (at least you didn’t choose to focus only on the glamour muscles of shoulder and arms!) I would suggest legs and back routine and throw some yoga in there. Put those hams and glutes to work! Seriously though, the legs and especially the gluteal muscles are the ones that should do all the work and carry the weight we often place on our poor overburdened back muscles and spine. If you strengthen that lower half it takes a ton of pressure off the lower back so it doesn’t have to work so hard throughout the day. If more people worked the legs we’d have far less back problems in this country. And running alone doesn’t work out all the muscles. Lunges, squats, kicks and long warrior poses, people!
