P90X2 is all core. I love it way better than P90X. Think like, it's some of the P90X workouts, but now you have to do that and balance on one foot. It's hard core, core workouts. Exactly what I wanted.

There's a 2nd one now?! Ugh, is it harder than the first?

I don't know that it's harder. It's not like it's the next level, even though that's what they say. It's not, it's just different. Much more focus on core workouts. A lot of balancing. Doing curls on one foot, using a stability ball for over half the workouts. It's great. Way better, IMO. If you wanna build up, stay with the first one, but if you want more flexibility and stability, and overall athleticism (what I would call real strength, not just looks strong), then this is for you.

When you say "curls on one foot" do you mean bicep curls? If so, I'm already doing that on one foot. I have exceptional balance, I thank all those years of gymnastics, baton, clogging, jazz, ballet, etc. I may start doing their work outs again, I have the first set of DVD's. I really loved the yoga, but it left me exhausted not exhilarated by the end LOL

I watched the videos and it truly is insane, I thought P90x was hard, P90x2 makes P90x seem like Richard Simmons.

Yes, biceps curls balancing on one foot. Or, doing triceps kickbacks in warrior 3 position. Not easy for me. My balance sucks. I can barely do any of it.

Planks count as long as you're engaging your core, most definitely. They're my fav. I'm up for 45 seconds right now, once I get to a minute, I'm going to start lifting one leg at a time. (=

I'm not sure how to do "kickbacks in warrior 3 position" but I may youtube it! My balance is amazing, ever since I was little my mom used to do laundry with her left foot on her right knee(hard to picture) and now when I'm doing dishes or something I do the exact same pose!

Pilates. If your abs don't hate you after, you are doing something wrong.

Planks with the crazy man going to Hit you over but and triceps with the training pads just trying to get you to loose balance. Or with a training partner in front trying to off balance each other by grapping one hand at a time. It is fun and a great core workout. Something like returning kids.
Then bridges with 5-10kg weights on your abs area.
Staying on your back an trying to maintain some weights with your ankles at 5 cm from ground. Same thing keeping the weights in hand over your head.
And any kind of ground work.

I love squats, lunges, planks and wood chops. PT taught me a new form of leg raises this week thats a killer. On a bench under the smith, leg raise into candle, and tap the bar on the outside with your toes. I am sure it has a name but he didn't tell it :bigsmile:

I absolutely HATE squats & lunges, but I think it's because my form is wrong and I put too much pressure on my knees(bad knees at 22, awesome isn't it?)
