P90X2 is a more up to date and intense version of P90X that will push you to achieve a ‘ripped physique’ and fitness in record time. There are a number of videos that come with all versions of P90X2 that give you an idea of what kinds of exercises are featured within the system. Here is a list of the DVDs and a brief description of what is inside each one to give you an idea of how you are going to lose 10 pounds fast.
How to Bring It Again – This introductory DVD is the first one to watch, a total immersion into P90X2 and introduction to the basics of the whole course.
X2 Core – Fast, powerful movements in the core exercises using instability, this will help improve your overall condition.
Plyocide – Plyometric vertical jumps, as in P90X, but also lateral jumps too. The vertical jumps will increase your height as you work on the one spot, however adding explosive lateral side to side jumps is really to push away that plateau.
X2 Recovery and Mobility – The importance of stretching out as a means of recovering from your intense workouts is covered by a number of exercises. Some foam rolling techniques are combined with the stretching routines to increase your ability to recover between working out.
X2 Total Body – This really does try to get every muscle involved in functional fitness and a few examples were given by Tony Horton, the ‘one-armed bicep curl while in a warrior three position, doing pull-ups while doing crunches and plyometric push-ups against a stability ball. These exercises all try to engage the core when you are burning the fat and building the muscle.
X2 Yoga – Reducing the time by about 30 minutes to around an hour the yoga has been condensed from the P90X version. Taking the best moves and trying to give it a constant flow, the standing balance moves were all removed and the warm up made shorter. These isometric exercises will increase the power and range of motion of your stabilizer muscles.
X2 Balance and Power – This section takes over from where the X2 Core finishes where you take your core engagement and send it to further muscle groups. Using strength combined with explosive movements you really work against any core rigidity, improving your body alignment and working to reducing any aches and pains. These exercises will help you push so much further than you thought you could.
