Rated 5 out of 5 by 62law X2 takes p90x to a new level with its emphasis on balance,core and flexibility. The PAP workouts are incredible. I am 62 and a graduate of P90x. Overall a better group of workouts than P90X. The Yoga is much improved and now only 65 minutes .

Rated 5 out of 5 by Prorideuse Best workouts put on DVD's
First of all, anyone saying they did not get body mass is simply because
they did not use weights that are heavy enough. My boyfriend and I are at the beginning of our 3rd week into Phase 2 and those workouts are insane. I am a graduate of P90X, Insanity and Asylum, and I find P90X2 being the most complete of them all. On the 2 days off, I usually do some cardio/sprints/going back to asylum. The first phase gave us so much core strength that I can now do all the move the master of yoga does. We also love the amount of chin/pull ups in the Phase 2, really, really increase your overall strength. Again, the ones complaining about the door frames, well, do like we did for my boyfriend (6'4'') and buy a chin/pull/dip station, much higher and perfect for tall people. This is a workout at home, can you seriously expect not having to invest in a little bit of equipment, especially if you wanna gain mass. We recommend using Power Blocks or Bowflex. I have the Bowflex 5-55 pounds and my boyfriend the Power Blocks 2.5-130 pounds and both systems work wonders, and perfect for working out at home. All of this being said, you should all give it a real try, don't sit around on the 2 days off, invest a little bit and you will get a lot of gains.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris1983 Best workout series to date.
I have been using P90X and P90X2 for quite some time now. I can tell you that other workouts don't compare in getting visible results and noticeable gains in the gym and pull up bar. Tony has changed the way I workout and how I preach to others inside the gym to get results. I just wanted to say thanks to Tony for turning me into a machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fitnessfreak yet another great product
I thought it couldn't get any worse than P90X but X2 really puts you thru wringer. All the core and balance work is tough and the overall atmosphere of X2 seemed relaxed and well planned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MidLifeFitness Got to understand what you are getting
I have read several reviews and tend to agree with the higher ratings as compared to the lower ratings. This workout is effective (Ihave lost nearly 20 pound with no real diet changes) and put on a lot of strength and muscle.
If you are not worked by this program, you are not doing it right. I read a review that mention the "preoccupation with balance" that is the point of several movements and he says so. It is about total boby engagement and if you dont do that the exercizes are much easier and less effective. If you do it right it will be about all you can handle (I dont know many people who can do 60 pullup in 40 minutes with good form).
The PAP workout are designed to work the parts of the body you often skip in favor of trying to get bigger bicepts. This is focused on overall fitness and atheletic ability, if all you want is bigger bicepts, for get a program and do curls, if you want to work your body and get stronger and more fit and atheletic, this is great!
I do understand the feeling about "not enough mass building", but you can buy a muscle magizince and and read about some workouts, I have done that in the past and had bigger muscles, but I have never gotten this kind of results in this short of time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Garage Rat Just Keeps Getting Better
Prior to doing P90X I was heavily into weight training: a garage full of heavy duty weight equipment and dumbbells. I did some research on P90X after initially thinking it was just another late night TV fad. After the first 60 days, I dropped 25 lbs and really liked the results. I continued rotating the P90X programs but sustained a serious lower back injury. Consequently, I couldn't continue on with the AB Ripper. After 8 months of intense lower back rehab on my own and doing the standard P90X routine and gaining back 15 lbs, I decided to give P90X2 a try. I have just completed the first two phases (6 weeks on Phase 1 and 7 weeks on Phase 2). PAP starts in two days. I have already lost 25 lbs, gained incredible balance and have noticed dramatic differences in muscularity and vascularity. In addition, I have lost approximately 3 inches in my waist. The workouts are intense, particularly since I do them in the garage in the sometimes brutal Texas summer. I have designed my own diet and recovery drink which have worked very well. Cut out alcohol, bread, pasta, most starches and processed sugars. I am so impressed with this program, I am in the process of selling my weight equipment! I may even try the Insanity in the Fall. Keep up the good work BeachBody!
