As with P90X it also has 3 Phases: Foundation, Strength, and Performance:

• Foundation Phase – preparing the body for a more highly-intense workout, moreover it is suggested that you have completed P90X for better body conditioning. This phase can be done or last within 3-6 weeks depending on your fitness level.

• Strength Phase – this is similar to the “Mastery Phase” of P90X, it is just that additional ROM (range of motion) exercises are added of higher intensity. This phase will last between 3-6 weeks, concentrates on functional training, plyometrics, strength training and upper and lower body post-activation potentiation (PAP). You’ll feel much stronger and a suppleness feeling of the muscles at the end of this phase.

• Lastly the Performance Phase – after all the hard work done with Phase 1 and 2, you’ll find yourself, jumping higher, run faster and produce more force in every move you make. A robust look and great vibes felt at the end of this phase. Last for 3-4 weeks.

A customized, highly flexible Nutrition Guide is included with additional options and variations of meals to choose from, such as vegan and grain-free meals.

This is another area where a person who has a solid foundation in nutrition, can actually grow in awareness and results.  If you are fully committed to keeping exacting form and eating correctly, there is no reason you can't take on P90X2 even if you haven't done P90X. The approach differs so greatly.
