P90X2 Review


Everyone’s talking about it!  They’ve tried it and seen results! So what about YOU? Are you Ready for P90X2?

Tony Horton brings it AGAIN! And in case you didnt think it was possible, he turns it up a notch with P90X2.

P90X2 is available for order right now! In 2012 you will become absolutely shredded by doing this incredible workout! We are trying to stay on top of all the orders, but I’d be lying if I didnt say that its been CRAZY! Its like people have been standing in line, banging on the doors, demanding a P90X sequel, and it’s finally available! I didn’t realize there were as many crazy P90X lovers out there like myself!

I’ve had a opportunity to workout with Tony Horton himself and try some of the moves that will be in P90X2 and I also have the whole P90X  One-on-One series.  Tony Horton tests many exercises and essentially uses us as the guinea pigs to help put P90X2 together.  So I’m giving an insider’s perspective of what P90X2 is all about.

Here’s the P90X2 review!

The program, similarly to P90X, is set on a workout schedule that is 90 days long. P90X2 has been formulated to build upon the original P90X workout. However, it is not required that you are a P90X graduate. P90X2 incorporates the same concept of confusing the muscles, so that you are doing a myriad of exercises.

The P90X2 schedule is always being tweaked so that you don’t even come close to hitting a plateau- you will never ever get bored like you do with most of the fitness programs out there. It was also created to take your physical condition and strength to a new realm. P90X2 does the job whether you’re increasing your strength, your balance, your agility, your core strength, or athleticism. P90X2 was created by Tony Horton in conjunction with other professional sports trainers and will most definitely give you those same incredible results achieved through the P90X program.

The P90X2 Program

The P90X2 workout program is broken down in the same way that its predecessor P90X is. There are 3 phases in each of the 30 day segments. Each month is broken down into 3 phases representing 30 days each and totaling 90 days. The phases each have a strategic purpose and build upon one another. One 30-day Level looks like this:

• Phase 1 – Foundation, 3-5 weeks
• Phase 2 – Strength, 3-6 weeks
• Phase 3 – Performance, 3-4 weeks
• Recovery Week

Phase 1 of the program targets your core and balance. During this phase you’ll work on building a solid foundation which will help you do the exercises in the next two phases. A few of the P90X2 Phase 1 workouts are X2 Core and X2 Balance & Power. X2 Core teaches you exercises that focus on your core while having you do moves that create a huge amount of instability (so that you get a better workout). The X2 Balance & Power workout will force you to work on your balance while performing a ton of strength moves and exercises with explosive movements.

Phase 2 of P90X2 focuses on strength. It incorporates the Plyo type workout. Many people have a love-hate relationship with P90X2′s Plyometric workout.  It hurts!  But it hurts so good. It’s an incredible total body, agility workout. Phase 2 includes a totally different Chest, Back, & Balance workout which is basically the P90X Chest and Back SQUARED!  The difference in this workout is that you’ll be using lots of medicine balls and other platforms that create instability and work the muscles from all angles.

Phase 3 focuses on improving your athletic performance. This phase uses the science of the P.A.P. (Post Activation Potentiation). This is a world-renowned workout method that has been proven on some of the best and most fit individuals in the world! Put simply, P.A.P. starts you off performing a number of weighted exercises and then quickly transitions into a workout made up entirely of explosive exercises. The first time around, it may throw your body for a loop.  But it’s been tested and shown to drastically improve strength and power and will absolutely kick your trash!

    This workout is way better than crossfit. Crossfit made me skinny. This is giving me the muscle gains I was looking for.

    You just push yourself every minute of the work out, take rest when you need to, and actually drink water during the water break and you’re good to go. Just 45 minutes tops Monday through Saturday and thats it.

    The workouts give your body a pounding, but I like the fact that Shaun T takes several minutes to stretch before and after the workout and comments on how important it is.

    There are some moves in the workout where my head is in a position below my heart, and that’s not safe, particulary if your heart rate is at max. I modify those moves and pay attention to keeping my head up and keep pushing through. I’m still seeing results and it’s so worth it!

    I would recommend this to a “fit” friend.

    This is a great workout for those who have already been working out. You need to shed some extra pounds prior to starting INSANITY because of some of the impact moves.
    It’s great to do with a partner and offers a lot of reinforcement opportunities such as the Fit-Tests.

    I’m only on week 2 of the program, but just the fact that I have lasted 2 weeks on such an intense work out says a lot there. I enjoy doing the work outs even though they are tough, I just get excited to do them every morning. I’m not already extremely fit by any means but I am noticing results already after only a couple weeks. I’m excited to see the final results after 2 months hoping to be even stronger, faster and more in shape. This is a great program and if your looking to get into shape this will definitely do it for you. I found out about this through friends and when I saw there results I had to try, and now I see what they were saying and I as well am very satisfied.
