The P90X2 How to Bring it Again DVD is an overview of the entire program. It is important that you watch this DVD before you begin the program to ensure you are familiar with not only the different phases, but also the warnings associated with the program.

You can get a complete in-depth review of p90x2 and links to all the workout dvd reviews here.

The Warning

The warning basically states that you are responsible for your own personal safety. If you have a history of knee, ankle, shoulder, wrist, or spinal (back and/or neck) problems, you should not attempt these exercises.

This program is extreme and physically demanding and is intended for people who meet the following minimum requirements from the fitness test:

• You should be able to do at least 3 pull-ups (male) or 1 pull-up (female). If you can't do these, then resistance bands can be substituted.
• You should have a vertical leap of at least five inches (male) or 3 inches (female).
• You should be able to do at least 15 push-ups (male) or 3 (female).
• You should be able to reach no less than 6 inches from your toes for a toe touch.
• You should be able to hold a wall squat for at least one minute.
• You should be able to do at least 10 curls with 20 pounds (male) or 10 curls with 8 pounds (female).
• You should be able to do at least 25 ins and outs. You will begin seated with your hands on the floor at your sides, knees bent, and your feet on the floor. Raise your feet off the ground and bring your knees in towards your chest. Straighten your legs back out and repeat without having your feet touch the floor.
• You should be able to finish two minutes of jumping jacks at a quick and steady pace.

Our suggestion for you is to complete this fitness test. If you cannot meet the above minimum fitness requirements and you have your doctor's approval, work on the fitness test exercises until you have them mastered.

Photos and Journaling

You will want to document your transformation. Take photos on day 1, day 30, day 60, and day 90. Remember, if you are a beginner it will take much longer for your transformation; however, you should be able to tell a huge difference from day 1 to day 90.

Journaling is extremely important for a successful transformation. You will not only keep track of sets, reps, and weight poundage, but you will also take notes as to what interfered with completing a specific goal or what worked well with that specific exercise.

5 Day Workout

Two days for rest are allocated into this program. While P90X2 is not considered better than P90X, it is considered more intense, resulting in more muscle breakdown, resulting in the necessity for a longer recovery period.

Phases

There are three phases to P90X2. These are foundation, strength, and performance. We have described these in more detail in our article, P90X2: In-Depth Review of the P90X Sequel. The DVDs are scheduled to accommodate the phase you are entering.

Nutrition Plan

This revised nutrition plan includes an eating plan for just about anyone's needs. While eating healthy is important, Tony explains how supplements are also very important. Some of the supplements you can try include:

• Shakeology
• P90X Results and Recovery Formula
• P90X Peak Health Formula
• P90X Peak Performance Protein Bars
• Beachbody Strength & Muscle Men's Formula
• Beachbody Whey Protein Powder
• Beachbody Joint Support Super Formula

These are all available online through the Beachbody website.

Bottom Line

Once you have mastered the fitness test, it is possible to start the P90X2 even if you have not completed P90X. However, beginners should be prepared to perform the exercises over and over until they are mastered.

Although the program refers you to the original P90X if you have not mastered a similar extreme workout, you could eventually get through the program. However, it will likely be the hardest workout routine you have ever done.

For P90X graduates, P90X2 will take you to the next level of fitness. You will not be disappointed.
