P90X2 X2 Core- What to Expect with P90X2 X2 Core
P90X2 X2 Core. What can you expect with X2 core? The funny thing is when on started the P90X exercise program for the first time I was totally sore the next day from P90X Chest and Back. I wasn’t sure what to expect with P90X2 and I thought it was a little strange that P90X2 started out with a core workout where P90X started out with a ton of push ups and pull ups. It is clear with that the first phase of P90X2 was designed to “create a solid attachment to the earth”. Makes total sense to me but this is one of the ways that P90X2 is different than P90X. P90X2 starts with building a strong foundation then strengthening everything above your foundation in phase 2 and then taking these changes and focusing on pure performance in phase 3.
All of the moves in X2 Core are definitely more challenging and require more balance and stability. If you have done P90X this will be a nice change for you. I can already tell that these moves will make you more functional in every day life.
From the P90X2 Guide
“Human functionality occurs in the shape of an X across the body from one arm down through the core to the foot, and the same on the other side. A big criss-cross, all driven by the power and synergy generated from the core. In P90X2, it’s almost as if the “X” now stands for that aspect of human kinesiology. That’s what X2 Core is all about. The core is our body’s foundation: the point where all movement begins. By working our cores using instability, we force our bodies to fire both their prime mover ans stabilizer muscles in harmony. As you master this routine, all your movement patterns will improve.”
