P90X2 and The Application for Certain People

P90X2 the upgraded version of P90X, can bring you to a whole new level of fitness. It forces you to have excellent command of your form and what you eat. These are two overlooked aspects of workout results.
On the physical movement side, it gets you to work out smarter not harder using “Muscle Integration", a breakthrough in world of sports science. Like P90X it is a collaboration of the similar workouts that are enhanced in a more athletic manner.


If you liked P90X you’ll love P90X2 as well since it is made even better in terms of grabbing hold of the science that is now considered the most cutting edge for workout efficacy and results.  The chart below shows the differences between P90X and P90X2:

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. Menus made to let you pick food balance that work for your body. 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.

Truly this is a ground breaking workouts together  with and advanced diet plan which will chisel your body while improving your balance, agility, core strength, and overall athleticism.
