How much cardio is in it? Is it like the old P90 where there isn't a lot of cardio? I am a huge Insanity fan and just finished 30 days of Asylum. But still love Insanity the best!!0

P90X2 is a graduate program for P90X, have you done P90X. I have not received P90X2 in the mail yet, it should be delivered on Friday so I can let you know soon.
Go to my website and you can check out the details: http://overactivelife.com/fitness-programs/p90x2/

I purchased P90X2 without every doing P90X and I LOVE it!
It was free shipping to get P90X2 so that is why i got the 2 before buying the first one....LOL I am cheap what can I say LOL

I have done both P90X and Insanity. There isn't cardio, per se, but more using balance and core strength. That being said, I still burn a ton of calories and get my HR up, but not as much jumping as in Insanity. There is a Plyocide video, but that too is a lot of balance. So far I really love the program. I also really like the focus on form, which I did find lacking with Insanity. It is actually very challenging, though, to do many of these moves (1 legged medicine ball burpees??) and I have seen a decent improvement in the past week.0 -
Are you folks in Phase 2 yet, it is pretty crazy how much balance there is in that like when you try do the medicine ball pushups on four med balls, holy cow? How are you all doing with it so far?0

In the middle of week 3 of a P90X2 and Insanity mix. Love it. P90X2 is good so far...will probably stay in phase 1 for another two weeks or so. Insanity is a good mix in on rest days or days I can get in a double (3 or 4 days a week). It helps make up for for lack of hard cardio. How is it going for everyone else? My husband has already bailed on me!!0
-
I am also in the middle of week 3 of phase one...I can't wait to move to the next phase but going to try to resist till after I do 4 weeks.
What is everyone thought on Insanity vs. P90X2.....figuring I will need a good cardio burn after I finish P90X2 and thinking about getting that set next....however I am open for other suggestions.
I was told Insanity is hard...but I can't imagine it any harder then P90X2 but then I don't know.0 -
For the last four weeks I have been on P90X2 schedule in the mornings and mixing in Insanity as back to back doubles on the weekends and a few nights a few. I probably get 3-4 Insanity in per week. I am hooked! I am a die hard towards P90X, I love the mix, the weights and Tony but Insantity is hard! It is a very different type of workout, Insane is the only word for it. I have never sweat so much during a workout at home...if you couldn't tell I highly recommend it. Let me know if you decide to give it a shoot.0

INSANITY is amazing! I love that workout. I think like it more than P90X actually. It is so quick and so hardcore that it is just fun. The P90X workouts are great but for me the fact that INSANITY is such a fast paced workout I love it more. I enjoy all of that cardio. It is hard though, that is for sure. Be ready for some serious craziness. Definitely a love hate relationship with that one. You can't compare it to P90X2, they are very different workouts.0

Just heading into Phase 2 of P90X2...opinions, suggestions, or thoughts on what to look forward to? I haven't previewed yet but Chest, Back and Balance is on the schdule for Sunday.0
-
Chest back and balance is hard......I did it two days ago, I have muscles in my shoulders that hurt...that I don't think I ever used before. So".its hard...but it's awesome. I can't wait to get better at some of the moves.0
-
I suppose I didn't expect anything different! I am already sore from an afternoon of snowman and snow fort building on Saturday. I'll let you know how it goes...it I can move my arm to type. :happy:0

Hi everyone. I am currently doing P90X Lean. I am on my 8th week. This week is my recovery week.0
-
Welcome Rosy06, enjoy Recovery week! It's always a nice break!
nlehmann, Phase 2 is tough! OMG, it is so crazy. How long did you stay in Phase 1? I have thought about possibly extending it because Phase 2 is really a hard one. It is nice to be able to get that core strength really down in Phase 1 before moving onto Phase 2 because it really comes in handy when doing some of the Ph 2 moves. How are you doing so far?

I got half-way through week 5 last week and tweeked my middle back and shoulders and had to stop everything but pilates. I have been to the chiropractor a few times, going again tomorrow. Hopefully everything will settle in and I can get back at it. I will start over with week 5. I got chest and back and shoulders and arms done before I broke my back! :ohwell:
I stayed in Phase 1 for 4 weeks and I was ready to move along. I have also been doing Insanity in the evenings so my Core has really been getting a workout! How long do you think you will stay in Phase 2?0 -
Starting p90x2 in September, anyone else?0
-
I'm my third week into phase 2. I love it so far!!! I've been doing 5 week phases with 1 week recovery to get the most out of each phase. Even though there are not any dedicated cardio workouts man do I still sweat with every workout!
Plus i love Tony's "I'm corny and I know it but don't care what anyone thinks of me because I'm enjoying the ride" attitude. You can really tell he simply loves what he does.0 -
I'm. Starting p90x/p90x2 hybrid today!! Can't wait!0
