P90X2 X2 Recovery + Mobility Review

Tags: , , ,

As odd as it might sound, this workout is the keystone of the P90X2 system. You do this workout twice a week if you choose not to rest instead. It’s a great deal better in my opinion than the X Stretch workout and if used as recommended will keep you in great shape with regards [...]

P90X2 Schedule – The Complete Listing

Tags: , , , , , , , ,

If you are looking for the P90X2 Workout Sheets they are HERE. P90X2 is divided into 3 phases plus a rest week. The thinking is that you can do the weekly rotation of 5 days as long as you wish (3-6 weeks) and then throw in a rest week when you think you need it. [...]

P90X2 – X2 Ab Ripper Review

Tags: , , ,

I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but all of these moves I have done before with Insanity, P90X, Asylum or in my own bootcamp class so I can’t imagine it will be technically challenging. It’s a really great variety of movements though. It doesn’t have the intensity of the Ab Ripper, it seems more user [...]

It’s Friday today, if I get home early enough I will complete this bad boy, if not, it will have to wait until tomorrow since I have to coach today. This morning I felt great after X2 Core yesterday, my knot in my back is gone, thanks to the foam rolling I guess. The workout [...]

R9D1 – P90X2 – X2 Core Review

Tags: , , ,

Round 8 was a pretty successful program I think, with 66 workouts in 94 days, that’s almost exactly 5 days a week average. Not even 3 minutes in to the workout and he’s already said “but-tocks” in his Forrest Gump voice… seriously, it’s been how many years and he’s still doing that? X2 Core seems [...]

Bootcamp was a good class last night, the weights area still not completed so we were on the floor with dumbbells and I think most of the participants are getting a sense of how much stronger they are getting now. The workout was simple: Strength – burn holds – flex for 5 release for 1 [...]

Basal Metabolic Rate (How Much Should I Eat?)

Tags: , ,

Since the bootcamp is Monday and Wednesday this week I took Tuesday off in order to manage my workload a little just in case I ran out of gas for Wednesday’s class. I have been mulling over the content and format for this session and I think once the new gym area is set up I will [...]

R8D65 – Bootcamp Redux Day 1

Tags: , , , , ,

Today was the start of the second bootcamp session, we are doing 2 days a week now so I decided to bring in the scale and let the participants get their bodyfat measured before we start and then after we are done. Two days a week of bootcamp should make a difference to them no [...]
