Classic the most basic routine, the regular type, other two are based on it. Lean is for the people who prefer more cardio and a little less upper body resistance. Doubles is the same as Classic but after 30 days you add cardio, so its an A.M and P.M workout. The difference between these schedules are the combination of different workouts in daily basis to make it effective for getting faster and better results.

• Classic: This routine offers three days of resistance (with the use of free weights or resistance bands that will have to be purchased separately) and three days of cardio and yoga.
• Lean: This routine offers two days of resistance and four days of cardio/yoga.
• Doubles: This routine is nothing more than the Classic program with extra cardio thrown in. Typically, a person will do the regular program in the morning and then will do the extra cardio in the evening. Its very intensive and for people who want to serious strength training.

It’s recommended to start with the classic or lean routines first and to leave the doubles for when you’re more advanced. It’s commendable to want to rush through the system by doing as much as possible, but you must consider that your body can only do so much. It’s better to start slow and build up, especially if you’re not used to exercising. If you try to do too much too soon, you’ll only burn out and you’ll never complete the ninety days.

The second phase builds on the skills that were learned and strengthened during phase one. It’s the strength phase and lasts from 3-6 weeks. They are split into sections so you work out 2-3 muscle groups during each workout. Phase 2 is where you can expect to see the largest change in muscle tone or fat loss. If using the program primarily to lose fat or build muscle, instead of giving yourself a challenge or to stay fit, you’ll definitely want to spend the full 6 weeks on this portion of the program.
Day 1: Chest + Back + Balance + X2 Ab ripper: Similar to the original chest + back, the exercises focus on the back and chest but done in unstable positioning to force the muscles to work.
Day 2: Plyocide
Day 3: Rest or X2 Recovery + Mobility
Day 4: X2 Shoulders + Arms +X2 Ab Ripper: This workout focuses on strengthening the shoulders to reduce the chances of injury and increase stability.
Day 5: X2 Yoga
Day 6: Base + Back & X2 Ab Ripper: Works on both the back and base of the body which include the greatest number of muscles but gives meaning to the phrase “hurts so good.”
Day 7: Rest or X2 Recovery + Mobility

The third and final phase of the program is the performance phase which focuses on building endurance and increasing levels of performance. It lasts from 3-4 weeks and is also known as the “money” phase of the program. It is the most intense phase of the entire program and utilizes PAP or Post Activation Potentiation.
Day 1: P.A.P Lower: The strength you’ve gained during the first two phases of the program come to work here. The workouts are done in two different four-round movement cycles that have tested even the fittest athletes.
Day 2: P.A.P Upper: Moves the P.A.P. action to the upper body and leaves you feeling loose and springy after an intense workout.
Day 3: X2 Yoga
Day 4: Rest or X2 Recovery + Mobility
Day 5: P.A.P. Lower
Day 6: P.A.P. Upper
Day 7: Rest or X2 Recovery + Mobility
Recovery is another portion of the program that you decide when to do during the program. It should be done when you feel it is in order and is not limited to a specific time-frame.

P90X and P90X2 promote regimented exercise workouts, cardiovascular and flexibility training, nutrition and supplements, proper recovery and rest periods and finally adaptive methods for travelers. However, the uninitiated needs to know P90X2 is not for everyone; in fact P90X is probably more difficult during the adaptation period. Persons 60 years and older or persons diagnosed with arthritis or other biomechanical issues should consult a physician prior to interval training. Interval training is the core of P90X; and P90X2’s PAP is the next step in that it is assumes the person is conditioned for heavy loading, plyometric and ballistic styled movements.

P90X’s protocol is muscle confusion through varied resistance training techniques, plyometric exercises, cardiovascular exercises and yoga postures for flexibility, mobility and strength integration. The adaptation period is three, thirty day phases that promote mastery and adaptation. Weekly training is six days per week. The protocol is based on twelve intense workout routines that build on simple movements to master complex movements and unify a segmented, weak body into a powerful fit body. Nutrition requirements are designed with the uninitiated in mind for weight loss or weight gain; supplements are recommended for fitness goals as well.

P90X2 is designed for optimal performance. The P90X veterans can expect a variation of interval training and muscle confusion with twelve new workout routines, plus two extreme routines that combine all kinetic chains for maximal performance. Adaptation periods are flexible three to six week periods versus the foundational P90X four week periods. Five day weekly workouts provide an extra day of rest for recovery from the extreme routines. Additionally, the yoga element is modified for sports specific training. Finally, the nutritional guidelines are based on the latest scientific knowledge for maximal returns on your training investments. P90X2 is Horton’s magnum opus!

P90X vs P90X2
1. P90X2 focuses more on balance throughout the program.
2. P90X2 doesn’t have a cardio specific workout.
3. P90X2 has two rest days per week.

Cons:
1. Sometimes Tony talks too much.

If you have tried Power 90, P90X or any of Beachbody’s other home fitness programs, you haven’t seen anything yet. Beachbody is urging you to bring it yet again with P90X 2. The P90X 2 program comes with three kit options and an entire library of new and innovative workouts. There is a new and improved nutrition guide that pays attention to vegan, vegetarian and other restrictive diets, and exercise guide and a ninety-day calendar. Let’s take a look at the program and see what’s new. Get ready to bring it AGAIN.

What’s New?

Beachbody decided to come out with all guns blazing by hiring fitness experts Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project to preside over Beachbody’s Scientific Advisory Board. And the group has come up with something revolutionary that is sure to make an impact with Beachbody fans. Instead of merely relying on muscle confusion, which was the plateau-breaking science behind P90X, P90X 2 enlists exercises that help with Post Workout Potentiating (PAP). Just like muscle confusion, it’s designed to get your muscles working overtime and in much less time.

P90X 2 Phases

With P90X, you had set phases that lasted 3 weeks with a recovery week in between. P90X 2 is a bit different. Phase 1 lasts for 3 to 5 weeks and focuses on movement and flexibility so as to avoid injury. Phase 2 lasts 3 to 6 weeks and focuses on strength and agility. Phase 3 lasts for 3 to 4 weeks and focuses on explosive movements that will make you feel young again. You can cut a phase short or make it last longer with this program, allowing for much more versatility.

Less Is More

One of the biggest differences between P90X and P90X 2 is the fact that, with P90X you had to work out six days per week, without fail. With P90X 2, you only work out five days per week. That’s right. The workouts are much more advanced and with greater intensity, allowing you to ‘earn’ two extra days off per week.

Improved Nutrition Guide

Beachbody admits that the P90X nutrition guide was seriously lacking. The P90X 2 nutrition guide is seriously ramped-up with information for vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians and more. There is even information about protein shakes and recovery drinks. The guide is actually a combination of 27 mini-guides, with creative and revolutionary ways to keep you on track while you’re going through the program.

The Workouts

The P90X 2 workout DVDs (12 in all) are more intense than ever with names like:

• Recovery and Mobility
• Chest, Back and Balance
• P.A.P. Upper
• P.A.P. Lower
• Plyocide
• Base and Back
• Balance and Power
• Yoga
• Ab Ripper X2
• Total Body
• Shoulders and Arms
• And X2 Core

There are also two advanced X2 workouts (V-Sculpt and X2 Chest, Shoulder and Tri) that are sold separately from the base kit.

With three kits to choose from (P90X 2 Base, P90X 2 Deluxe and P90X 2 Ultimate), you will gain the tools, know-how and edge to get in the best shape of your life. The base kit includes the workouts, the nutrition guide and the workout calendar. The Deluxe and Ultimate kits come with all that and more, including valuable workout equipment. For instance, the two advanced kits come with foam rollers, stability ball, (2) 8-lb. medicine balls and power stands, depending on the kit you choose.

If you are looking to get more ripped and you are looking to improve your balance, agility, core strength and overall athleticism, P90X 2 is for you. If you thought P90X was intense or you’ve never tried a Beachbody home fitness program before, get ready to seriously bring it in 2012.

What’s Different?

P90X2 is a far cry from the Richard Simmons tapes of old. It only takes 5 days per week instead of 6 days in P90X, the more intensely you work out, the less time you need to spend doing it. With more breakdown, you also need more rest. less is more ! Users of the new program should be well prepared for the challenge. It’s suggested that before undertaking the cutting edge workout, consumers should have completed the original p90x or its cousins, Insanity and ChaLEAN Extreme. There are no introductory sessions in version two; it is assumed that people who buy the program will be familiar with Tony Horton’s routines from the previous version.

The 90 minute Yoga sessions of the original have been shortened to 60 minutes and the cardio and kenpo workouts have been removed. If these will be missed by users, sticking with the version one may be advisable. Unlike p90x which required heavily on the use of medicine balls, stability balls and weights, the new version has adapted its exercises for those that don’t want to purchase and store gym equipment. A set of resistance bands and a sturdy chair are all you need to complete the program.

What’s Similar?

Like its predecessor, P90X2 is a whole body workout, utilizing the body as a unit rather than dividing it into the sum of its parts. The workout progresses for 90 days, as did the original, though the schedule is less structured. Those users who are in top physical condition will not need to spend as long on each phase as users who are in less promising shape.

As with the original, a nutrition guide is included though it has been updated. Vegans and those on a gluten-free diet will no longer have to try and adjust the given recipes; Horton has included these options in his new guide.

There are 15 DVDs included with P90X2:

- How to Bring It Again
- X2 Core
- Plyocide
- X2 Recovery and Mobility
- X2 Total Body
- X2 Yoga
- X2 Balance and Power
- Chest + Back + Balance
- X2 Shoulders and Arms
- Base and Back
- PAP Lower
- PAP Upper
- X2 Ab Ripper

Also included are the P90X2 Fitness and Nutrition Guides and well as the P90X2 Workout Calendar.

Strength: The second phase, which lasts 3-6 weeks, is designed to increase your power. This is why the Foundation phase is so important: strength starts from the core. Now, with your midsection strengthened, it’s time to really build power! Toward the end of the Strength phase, you’ll start to see results. As P90X2 starts to pay off, you’ll notice less fat, especially around the middle, and increased muscle mass.

Performance: The third and final phase focuses on using your Foundation and Strength as an athlete. This phase lasts 3-4 weeks and it will make sure you’re not just “gym-fit,” but fit for Performance. This phase combines weight workouts with explosive movement to really put it all together.

So far, the P90X2 reviews are positive. Those that have completed previous P90X, Insanity or Beachbody workouts will find the second installment of P90X to be pleasantly familiar. Consumers should be aware, though, that this is not a replacement for the original but a second phase of the program. If you have not completed P90X, it is highly advisable that you do so before purchasing P90X2.

Weights/Bands

With P90X, you have a choice. You can be a weights person or a bands person. You don’t need heavy weights (about 10-25 lbs. will do), but you do need some sort of resistance. As long as you follow through with the system, the type of resistance you choose doesn’t really matter. But you should only use the equipment that feels most comfortable to you.

Chin-Up Bar

Today it’s common to see chin-up bars sold that ‘hook onto’ your doorframe, yet they don’t do any damage to the doorframe itself. They’re designed so well that they will completely and safely support your body while keeping your door frames intact.

Heart Rate Monitor

To get the kinds of results you see in the P90X infomercials, you’ll need to work out in The Zone. This will all be described to you when you read the P90X book and watch the Learn How to Bring It introductory DVD. But a heart-rate monitor goes on your wrist like a wristwatch and, don’t worry. You’ll hardly notice it once you get going. Plus, it’ll let you know whether you need to push harder or let up a little, depending on your current level of fitness and fitness goals.

Recovery Formula

Finally, there’s the recovery formula which is also made by Beachbody. These workouts are ultra-intense and so you should be getting all the necessary nutrients in your body in order to heal properly. That way you can build muscle, muscle tone and you’ll get into the best shape of your life. And all you have to do is mix it and drink it. And to top it all off, it tastes great.

There are other products designed for the P90X system, such as yoga blocks and plyometrics mats, etc. But these are the basics that will get you through this 90 day system that’s designed to get you ripped quickly, as long as you’re willing to bring it and push play just like Tony Horton tells you to.

P90X Workout sheets
The workout sheets are essential, both for tracking your progress and to keep you safe. You’ll be able to track the weights you use during the weight training – or the color resistance bands you’re using – which will take a lot of the guesswork out of, “Which weight should I use?” You can also note whether or not a weight felt too heavy or too light, and when you’re ready to move up.

P90X Fit Test
The fit test is the most important part of the whole P90X journey. With the fit test, you’re able to determine whether or not you’re even ready to begin! When you do complete the fit test, make sure to record your results, and then hang on to it! When you’re done the 90 days, you’re going to do another fit test, and you’ll be able to really see the results you’ve achieved in your overall fitness.

P90X Calendar
The calendar will help keep you on track and will help you remember which workout you’re doing on what day. You can use this in conjunction with your usual calendar, or you can use it completely in place of your regular calendar for the ninety days.

P90X Phases
The phases worksheet will also help keep you on track, and will let you know what phase you’re coming up on next. This has an impact on the portions you’re eating when following the P90X Diet Guide, so you’ll need to use these two in tandem to stay on track.

P90X comes with a nutrition plan, a fitness guide with all the workouts and information for following the system and a series of DVDs that are broken up into various workouts designed to confuse your muscles over a 90 day period. And that ‘Muscle Confusion‘ is what sets P90X apart from other programs.

What Is Muscle Confusion?

By hitting your muscles at various angles throughout the week, and then by changing it up every few weeks, your muscles won’t have a chance to plateau. Your body and muscles will just keep growing and getting stronger until you end up with a thinner, more ‘ripped’ you.

The P90X workout program comes with 13 DVDs. These include:

• A “How to Bring It” Introduction: Watch this DVD first so that you can understand what’s going on and also so that you can be introduced to the program’s host, Tony Horton.
• Chest and Back: About an hour’s worth of chest and back exercises.
• Plyometrics: Jumping exercises that work the fast twitch muscles in your legs.
• Shoulders and Arms: This DVD will help you get impressive arms like Tony Horton himself.
• Yoga X: A great yoga program that will have you stronger and more limber with better peace of mind.
• Kenpo X: If you’ve ever wanted to learn Karate, this is your chance. Kick and punch your way to being ripped in 90 days with Tony and crew.
• X Stretch: The ultimate flexibility workout for helping your body recover.
• Legs and Back: An intense workout that will have you whimpering at the end, guaranteed.
• Ab Ripper X: Don’t expect the common crunch in this DVD. These exercises will help you build that 6 pack that turns heads, for sure.
• Core Synergistic: If you want to be fit, you must build up your core and this workout does exactly that. Make sure you have a mat, because you’re going to be getting down and dirty.
• Chest, Shoulders and Triceps: A more advanced workout for Phase 2 and 3. Take your upper body to the next level.
• Back and Biceps: If you want guns, this is the workout that will help you get them.
• Cardio X: If you think you have great endurance, this workout will definitely put your body to the test.

How It Works

P90X is incredibly intense and not for the faint of heart, but the program does offer three routine variations Classic, Doubles, Lean depending on your health and fitness goals. That means that P90X is completely customizable.

The P90X workouts overview

The entire P90X workout is broken up into three phases. Each phase is designed to work your muscles from certain angles, and then those angles will be switched in the following phases to assist with muscle confusion. To complete the workout, you only need to keep pushing play. Beyond that, you should get a mat, some weights or exercise bands and a chin-up bar. Then, follow the three phases through the 90 days, while following the included healthy eating guide and you’ll be ripped in 90 days.

Is P90X Right for You?

The bottom line is that you need tons of motivation to get through the 90 days with P90X. The program is completely designed so that you don’t have to think much about it. You just ‘Keep Pushing Play’ as the mantra is repeated over and over. But sadly, many never get past the 60 days. But if you are motivated and you want to get into the best shape of your life, you only need to read a few of the testimonials and see some of the before and after photos on the Beachbody forum to know that P90X and Tony Horton are the real deal. Are you ready to get in the best shape of your life? This program can definitely help you get there as long as you’re willing to bring it, push play and you’re willing to follow Beachbody’s and Tony’s advice for maximizing the program so that you see the absolute best fitness results.

How Does It Work?

The P90X workout is separated into four-week blocks, with three-weeks of intense workouts and one recovery week. The recovery week isn’t quite like it sounds, however. This is a week where you put the heavy stuff on hold, but you still work. The idea is to keep your muscles working, while also allowing them to recover for the intense workout to come for the second week.

The training will then switch up after the recovery week, so as to confuse your muscles even more. This will continue for three weeks and then you’ll go through another recovery week, whereby the workout will be switched up again for the final four-week block. The entire workout is scientifically developed to build strength, endurance and flexibility in just 90 days.

But the best part about P90X is that it’s completely customizable, depending on your needs and fitness goals. The three methods include:

• P90X Classic: This is the original P90X home workout, which focuses on cardio, resistance, balance and conditioning, all in one easy-to-follow workout routine.
• P90X Doubles: The doubles program consists of the original plan plus three to four extra cardio exercises per week. Typically, people will do the regular workout in the morning and then cardio in the evening, or vice versa.
• P90X Lean: The lean program focuses more on cardio than resistance and is perfect for dropping more fat or for those who may be nervous about starting the Classic workout the first time around.

Regardless of which method you follow, P90X will get you into the best shape of your life if you follow the workouts exactly as they’re stated in the program, and you follow the included eating guide. But the following descriptions may help you decide that one method is perfect for you over all the others.

P90X Classic

P90X Classic is the original design of this home workout system, and uses all of the workouts except one. Cardio X won’t be used at all in this workout, but you can use it if you choose the Doubles method.

The Classic workout consists of:

For Weeks 1Through 3, you’ll do:

Day 1: Chest & Back along with Ab Ripper X

Day 2: Plyometrics

Day 3: Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X

Day 4: Yoga X

Day 5: Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X

Day 6: Kenpo X

Day 7: Rest (Or you can use X Stretch)

Then the following will be done for recovery Week 4:

 Day 1: Yoga X

Day 2: Core Synergistics

Day 3: Kenpo X

Day 4: X Stretch

Day 5: Core Synergistics

Day 6: Yoga X

Day 7: Rest or X Stretch

Then, we’ll switch things up for Weeks 5 through 7:

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, along with Ab Ripper X

Day 2: Plyometrics

Day 3: Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X

Day 4: Yoga X

Day 5: Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X

Day 6: Kenpo X

Day 7: Rest or X Stretch

For our recovery Week 8, we’re going to do the same as we did in Week 4.

Then, for the last week, we’re really going to switch it up. For Weeks 9 and 10, we’ll do:

Day 1: Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X

Day 2: Plyometrics

Day 3: Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper X

Day 4: Yoga X

Day 5: Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X

Day 6: Kenpo X

Day 7: Rest or X Stretch

And then for Weeks 10 and 12, we’ll do:

Day 1: Chest, Shoulders and Triceps and Ab Ripper X

Day 2: Plyometrics

Day 3: Back and Biceps and Ab Ripper X

Day 4: Yoga X

Day 5: Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X

Day 6: Kenpo X

Day 7: Rest or X Stretch

Then, for our final recovery Week 13, we’ll do the same as we did in Week 4.

P90X Doubles

If you want a killer workout and you find that P90X just isn’t challenging enough, you can try the doubles workout. This is where you will add an extra cardio workout to the Classic plan three or four days per week. This provides extra cardio conditioning and is for any athlete looking to increase performance or for anyone with much more weight to lose than normal.

According to the P90X guide, you should be free of injury and you should be in top physical condition before you try the doubles phase of the workout. This is the most intense version of the P90X program, and is usually reserved for the extreme athlete or for those doing multiple rounds of the system.

P90X Lean

The P90X lean plan focuses more on cardio than resistance and this method is perfect for anyone who is timid about trying the classic plan the first time around. The lean program will help you lose fat, however, since it focuses heavily on putting you into that fat burning cardio zone that is necessary for dropping the pounds. For the P90X lean program, you won’t perform the plyometrics or the legs and back workouts. But you will sweat, as the cardio workouts are designed to burn the maximum amount of calories in the shortest possible time.

And there you have it: Three workouts in one, enabling you to tailor the entire program for your specific needs. Whether you want to lose that gut, get ripped like never before or you want to outperform everyone else on the field, track or court, there is a P90X program for you. Which one will you choose? Leave your comments below and let us know!

Classic = 3 days resistance & 3 days cardio / yoga.

Lean = 2 days resistance, the rest cardio

Doubles = the classic routine plus additional cardio to 3 days in the Phase 2, then add additional cardio 4 days a week in the Phase 3.You should do two different workouts respectively in morning and evening.
Its very intensive and for people who want to serious strength training.
