Some of my clients have expressed confusion about the Cardio X days, since the workout DVD states it would be the second workout of the day if you are on the P90X Lean schedule. The schedule, however, only lists Cardio X on one day. Tony Horton has designed P90X with maximum flexibility so that people can tweak the program according to their goals, needs and personal fitness level. In that spirit, feel free to add another workout on the Cardio X days if you like. But the second workout of the day, in fact, refers to the P90X Double schedule!
