I've started attending an intensive/accelerated school that often has me tied up for the majority of the day, and I've found that I'm unable to work out 1+ hour(s) a day. I've already finished P90X, but I want to customize my P90X routine in a way that I can continue to improve, even if slowly, in the little free time that I do have.

I was thinking about doing half of the workouts each day; working out 30 or so minutes instead of an hour. Another idea I had was working on one body part per day (for example, instead of doing Back + Biceps, I'd do Back one day and Biceps another). I could also just work out for the full hour on the days that I have more free time, and just not work out when I'm booked; I estimate this would give me 3-4 days a week to work out. So I'm looking for opinions and advice on how I can fit P90X in my current schedule in a way that will allow me to continue making improvements to my fitness even if not as fast as if I were working out 1 hour a day.

P.S.: Another thing that comes into play is that my nutrition has fallen back a little since I started college. I'm not eating as diversely as I used to, so I ordered the P90X multivitamin and Protein Shake. If I include these in my diet, should I continue to be alright with P90X?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Thank you for replying!

I actually have P90X+! I like to mix it into my regular workouts for variety. The only concern I have with working out with P90X+ exclusively is that the workouts stray from the 8-10 rule, which I think I should stick with, especially at a time in my life when I can't work out as often and could potentially slim down due to not eating as often throughout the day. That's also the concern I have with going for P90X Lean workouts.

He will get more benefit by including his legs once or twice a week, as opposed to doing just upper body. The muscle groups that should never be put last are the lower body and back. Due to sheer size of these muscle groups, it causes the release of growth hormone if they are challenged properly. Chest, arms and shoulders just can not really elicit this response like back and legs.
