P90X2 Secrets Revealed


Here is all the latest information about P90X2.  This was taken from a Webinar with Tony Horton, Steve Edwards (director of results since 2001),and the Beachbody team.  I set this up as kinda a question and answer format, so keep reading and your P90X2 questions might be answered.  Below you will find out pricing for the 3 P90X2 kits, and info on how to pre-ordering P90X2.  You will also see what comes with P90X2 and what you need to purchase in order to get all 14 dvds.  Release date is set for Mid December, but you will need to Pre-Order in order to guarantee delivery by that date.

The Program Training Phases
The schedule is a little more opened.  You can stay in each phase longer if you need them longer.  So you can schedule your recovery week when you need it.
Phase 1: Foundation Phase (3-5 week)
Phase 2: Strength Phase, (3-6 weeks)
Phase 3: Performance Phase (3-4 weeks)
Truly fit by the end if every way.

What Kind of Results Can One Expect?

-Power90 and P90X Grads
-Graduates of other “Extreme” Programs like Insanity, Asylum, TurboFire, ChaLEAN Extreme
-Athletes looking to improve performance
-Former Athletes wanting to get back in shape.

How does if differ from P90X, Insanity, and Asylum?
-  P90X questions have been answered.  It has more flexibility, phases are different and cover more physiological ground.  More targeted on weaknesses, more focused, and more compartmentalized.  P90X2 is training for sp orts, Diet plan is more versatile.

What is P.A.P. Training?
- Post Activatoin Potentiation
- Doing a weighted resistance exercise prior to an explosive one can increase the amount of power produced by conditioned individuals.  Very counter-intuitive than how we normally train.  In conditioned athletes, “loading ” a muscle actually activates “muscle cell motor units” and makes you be able to lift more weight or explode more.  You have a short window after the resistance exercise to make you perform better and make you feel like a kid.  The “complexes” are put together to take advantage of this.  Marcus Elliott helped to refine this and brought it to P90X2.

What Makes This Program Unique?


- Where else do you get functional training, strength training, plyometrics and p ost-activation potentiation in one program.
-  New Tools, New techniques

P90X2 Release Date

        Ever since the announcement of P90X2, everyone has been wondering when it is going to come out. Beachbody CEO Carl Daikeler announced in his personal blog that P90X2 would be available for pre-order at the end of August, and that it would be released by the end of the year in time for the holiday season.  He did not say much more about P90X2, but he gave the release date being somewhere near the end of 2011. So with 5 months left before the end of the year, P90X2 fever is increasing at a very rapid rate.
