you will raise your metabolism for up to 48 hours doing the above 3-5 times a week.

PS just make sure if you are doing cardio on the same day as you weight work, you do the cardio AFTER your weight work.

my plan is to move to a HIIT cardio routine (and more of a BB resistance program) after finishing p90x, i have a bad knee and wanted to beef it up prior.
