My P90X2 Workout DVDs Have Arrived

- Updated

P90X2 Ultimate PackageThe P90X2 workout was dropped off by UPS the other day and I was pumped to finally get it after putting in my pre-order a couple of months ago.

Have a feeling its going to be a lot different from the original P90X. Couldn’t have been delivered at more of a perfect time for me as I scaled back my workouts to only a couple of days a week over the past month to let my tennis elbow injury and knee recover.

I don’t feel as strong and I’ve put on a couple pounds from doing this but I am rested and ready for P90X2. I will be starting P90X2 after the New Years so I’ll be in shape for softball and golf season.

What Comes In The P90X2 Ultimate Package?

  • All P90X2 Workout DVDs
  • P90X2 Fitness Guide
  • P90X2 Workout Calendar
  • P90X2 Nutrition Guide
  • Two 8 Pound Medicine Balls
  • Rumble Roller
  • Stability Ball
  • Tony Horton Push Up Stands
  • Two Bonus Workouts From The P90X One on One Series
The P90X2 DVDs I bought came in Blu-Ray and I wish I would have bought the normal ones. I did not know Blu-Ray discs will not work in a normal cd/dvd drive. They only work on Blu-Ray drives.
Was frustrated because I put in the “Bring It Again” DVD with Tony Horton and my iMac rejected the DVD. It didn’t even load it and give me an error. The DVD spun around a couple of times and the iMac ejected it before my Quick Time could even recognize it. Wondering if it was a mistake I pulled out my old HP Laptop and the same thing happened.
Called Beachbody to ask for an exchange on just the P90X2 DVDs but they don’t have a policy set up for that yet. I’d have to return the entire P90X2 Ultimate Package to get the normal dvds which is a pain in the butt. Decided to keep the Blu-Ray discs and use them with my Blu-Ray player on the big screen. Will buy a normal set of P90X2 DVDs to travel with or use on the laptop when my girlfriend is using the TV for her workouts. Kind of a waste but I seem to be loaning out workout dvds every once in a while anyways.
The normal P90X2 DVDs are cheaper than the Blu-Ray ones so its not that big of a deal. Here are some pictures of everything that came in the box.

What Are The Names Of The P90X2 Workouts?

What Does The P90X2 Fitness Guide Talk About?

  • Each one of the P90X2 workouts
  • Science behind P90X2
  • Supplements you should be taking with P90X2
  • Equipment needed for P90X2
  • Proper way to take before and after photos
  • What measurements to take
  • How to take the P90X2 Fit Test
  • Creating a P90X2 / Insanity Asylum hybrid when you are done

What About The P90X2 Nutrition Guide?

The 116 page P90X2 Nutrition Guide looks a lot simpler than the original P90X 3 Phase Nutrition Plan. There are a lot less recipes and they talk about portion control. It has grain free and vegan options. The plans are called Fat Shredder, Energy Booster, and Endurance Maximizer. It’s looking like the Energy Booster for me.
The P90X2 Nutrition Guide comes with some good advice about when to eat, hydration, caffeine, alcohol, and cheat foods. You’ll also see recommendations for the P90X Recovery Drink, P90X Vitamins, P90X Protein Bars, and Shakeology.

Anything Different About The P90X2 Workout Calendar?

Not really. It shows the order you need to do the workouts in over the 90 days, when to take photos, and when to measure body fat %.

Expectations for The P90X2 Workout?

Everything I’ve read or heard from Beachbody says that P90X2 is going to be different from the original P90X. More geared towards athletic moves instead of intense working out. Either way I’m hoping for a tough workout that will push me as much as the first one.

Looking at all of the equipment that comes with the P90X2 Ultimate Package I can only assume I’m going to be moving stuff out of the way a lot during the workouts which might be a pain. Hopefully it’s not and P90X2 goes smoothly.
