When it comes to workout programs people gravitate towards the ones that yield quick results.

P90X promises a ripped body in only 90 days. Of course, everyone is convinced that they’ll be able to keep up the rigorous workouts every day before they get it. However, living up to the commitment is tougher than it seems on paper.

At the end of the day, P90X is a system for people that are already highly active. If you’re like many people, you’re looking to level up your body but aren’t aiming to practically take on the lifestyle of an athlete either. The good news for this group is most P90X alternatives aren’t as physically demanding and they don’t take as much time. Once you master any of these you can always step it up a notch and reach for P90X.

Note that although P90X has been popular for quite some time, it hasn’t quite been replicated yet. Its workouts are not only intense but thorough. It requires 60 to 90 minutes of your time, six days a week.

1. Wii Fit Plus and Wii Fit U

(Wii, Wii U)

They say that numbers don’t lie, and Wii Fit takes the top spot due to its incredible popularity during the seventh generation console era.

It’s the only fitness title for a home console (Nintendo Wii) to become a top-ten bestseller. 22.67 million and 21.13 million copies of Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus have sold respectively as of Oct. 2017.

Wii Fit tracks your center of balance, weight and movement via the Balance Board peripheral, so naturally it excels at balance games and yoga. A variety of strength training and aerobic activities are also included.

Even over a decade after its launch, there is nothing out there anything like Wii Fit. And over the years, people have found new ways to better lives by using it for physiotherapy rehabilitation and gaming rehabilitation.
