But what comes next The good news for P90X devotees is the upcoming release of p90x2.Updated Dec 30 to include Bonus workouts. Hard bodies sweat to rigorous exercises and tout the program as being able to whip them into shape in a mere three months. Everyone with a television set has seen Tony Horton’s infomercials for the P90X.
P90X2 Review Full Body Workouts
Pretty happy with Phase 1: Foundation was able to lay the necessary building blocks for the upcoming nightmare that is Phase 2. 165 lbs 5.33 BF up from 159 4.79 BF I add about 5 lbs of lean muscle. Here are my results from 90 days of P90X2 and Insanity: The Asylum. Sales and reception of P90X2 wasn’t what the franchise had hoped for, and a lot of the mistakes made in P90X2 were fixed with the release of P90X3.With the completion of Phase One set of disks, it’s time to move on to the next phase… strength.Here is a link to the schedule that I used for this hybrid: P90X2/Asylum Hybrid Schedule. I purchased P90X3 when it came out and went.The big difference between P90X vs P90X2 is that P90X2 relies on more resistance training and full body workouts, instead of the targeted approach in P90X. You can read my previous fitness posts here, including my early reviews of P90X3.
So get your weights, grab your balls, and press play! — PHASE 2: STRENGTH — CHEST BACK and BALANCEEvery push-up involves attempting to use medicine or stability balls for an added level of difficulty. ( Post Activation Potentiation ) Performance phase. This too is only a gateway to the final assault that is P.A.P.
So give it a little time and follow the Tip of the Day: Modify to finish.The kids are good natured, but I was worried Kelly was destined to be the next look-at-me-lift-featherweights-and-grunt Katie ( of P90X Back and Biceps ). However, once balance is gained then this routine will make anyone want to barf out their gall bladder. Here I spent a lot of time correcting my balance and well, falling down. P90X Chest and Back still makes me practically want to puke, but that’s because I can physically do the moves and thus I keep going. And like the original, it alternates between push-ups and pull-ups for a total of 21 moves.But is it tougher? Yes…and no. Others, like the Impossible/Possible Push-Up, are simply there to make me feel like a clumsy oaf.The chin ups are also different than the first C & B, but shouldn’t pose too much problem adjusting to ( except Levers ).
But don’t let that fool you into thinking this is somehow easier. This should probably be thought of as Pull-Ups and PLYO. Where the difference lies between this and P90X Legs and Back is the use of weights…or lack thereof ( except for Plyo Lunge Press ). Two rounds of repeating 10 moves is the name of the game. It has people past what might be considered “prime years” who are fit as Hell.THIS WORKOUT IS FOLLOWED BY X2 Yoga ( reviewed in Part 1 )Tony’s goal here is simple.
PAP will kick your butt not just once, but four times a week. You might think that if you stopped here and did not progress to Phase 3: Performance which will trash your legs with Post Activation Potentiation ( in part 3 of this review ). From that he brings gems such as Jack-in-the-Box Knee Tucks that close out each round and the appropriately named Kippy Cross Fugly Pulls ( that’s stands for FAST and Ugly by the way! ).The focus on Plyo over weight training in this workout might lead one to believe P90X2 has neglected a vital part of training.
Conclusions thus far…Phase 2 lives up to its name by giving you strength where you didn’t know you had muscles. In comparison to P90X CST, X2 seems to assault the shoulders more while P90X will probably trash your chest more. It’s certainly well rounded and I always enjoy any workout that has Bobby Stevenson in it just because the guy brings a fun yet serious mood unlike, say…Phil ( P90X CST ) for example.
For the sake of this review I’m doing each Phase for a week and in many cases I am suffering for it. Because of the heavy… and I mean heavy…use of balance and core, I highly recommend doing a full round of Phase 1. Tony has learned a lot of new tricks, and you will find no shortage of them presented here.
Pierre’s RUSHFIT…every warmup was just recycled footage. That was my main complaint about Georges St. But I appreciate that Tony went the extra mile and at least DID the warmups.
P90X2 Review Plus Of Expendable
The much anticipated and highly feared Post Activation Potentiation of Phase 3 awaits… NEXT- PHASE 3: PERFORMANCECan the Dysfunctional Parrot keep going at top speed to bring the final part of this review to you? By feasting upon the life-force of the internet’s surplus of expendable bloggers, you know he will. At this stage in your journey Tony assumes you’re not a fitness idiot and as such are capable of modifying, using stretch time to work on your own personal weaknesses, and even deciding to focus on a Phase of your choosing.But the best is yet to come. Unlike P90X, X2 has a much more customizable approach and feels more mature. More of an observation.At this point the program keeps getting better.
