P90X2 X2 Balance And Power Review

Sadly it seems there are people out there stealing these reviews and posting them as their own. I guess that’s life but it still bothers me to see my handywork on another site, even if it’s in a foreign language!

Anyway, I will continue with the reviews until the end since all I can find on the internet are Beachbody coaches trying to sell the other systems or supplements on the back of the name P90X2 without any knowledge of the content, it’s incredibly frustrating so call this a public service!

Warmup is the same as most other P90X2 workouts:

Warmup:
Stability ball work
twists, squats, side bends, lunge back, shelf stockers.

Foam Rolling – Myofascial release using the foam roller
This is a great section to do daily and even better to go into more detail with when you have tight spots or knots.
Roller Sphinx
Worlds Greatest stretch (runners stretch with a double twist) alternating legs with brief hold each count.
Inch Worm – from standing, hands on floor, walk out to plank and back
Scorpion – Laying face down arms out 90 degrees, bend knee bring your foot up to your butt and lift away from the floor. Gently twist the leg to the opposite side of the body but don’t go too far!
Groiners – runners stretch foot switch
