"No matter how well planned out a fitness routine is, it will only work for a short period of time. This is called a plateau.

In the first 1-3 weeks of a workout program you see tremendous results which drops off around the 4th week. At this point, your body has adjusted to your workout routine through muscle memory. It no longer responds to exercise in the same way it did in your first weeks."

BTW I'm on week four of P90X, and already seeing some decent results. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness, even people who have been weight training for some time.
