I feel like my entire body is more sore and taxed from P90X2, which in my mind is a good thing!.The other yoga was too long and difficult to do if you had time restraints. For men, you still get the lifting in the P.A.P Phases.There is more flexibility in the scheduling (you can take more time in the Foundation Phase, for example).You are working the whole body rather than just one muscle group, e.g., biceps.For women, there is more core work and less straight lifting.We've done both P90X and P90X2, and personally, I'm partial to P90X2. Plyometric stand or step stool: Any solid surface that you can step up on will work.Powerstands: I really don't think these are needed, but they were designed by Tony Horton himself, so of course they come recommended and are used in the workouts.There are a few exercises where you do push-ups on top of the medicine balls, which is incredibly hard! Beachbody recommends two medicine balls per person, but there is one exercise in which each person uses four medicine balls (push-ups with your hands and feet on the medicine balls.) Medicine balls: The medicine balls are great, but if you are trying to cut back on the equipment, you could do without them and use weights in their place.Personally, I don't need the yoga block, but my husband wouldn't be able to do the yoga workout as well without it. Yoga block: If you aren't that flexible, the yoga block is a great tool.Yoga mat: If you don't have a yoga mat, they are inexpensive and great to have for many parts of the workout.You can use the resistance band for these exercises if you don't want to buy the pull-up bar. Pull-up bar: There are only two exercises that you need the pull-up bar for in the first phase, however, you will need it again in the following phases.Stability ball: Although this takes up a lot of room in your workout area, it's a great tool that helps work your core and is a key part of the warm-up and cool-down portions of P90X2.Either roller works, and both are recommended.
The Rumble Roller is a more intense roller with nodules that act like a masseuse's thumbs and it comes in differing levels of firmness depending on your needs. It is an amazing tool for working out kinks in your muscles and relieving muscular pain and tightness. I had never used the foam roller before and I'm officially addicted.
Copies of the workout sheets or the app to record your progress.It's important track your workouts so you know where you need to go next! Here's what you will need to begin P90X2: Required Equipment for P90X2 Don't forget to your P90X workout or log sheets, or the app.
