1. Foundation – this is your base or basis for training not just your legs but your entire kinetic chain. The goal of the Foundation phase is to help you create a solid attachment to the earth so you do all other movements without compromising your form. When this happens, you’ll look better, feel better, perform better, and be much more resistant to injuries.
2..Strength – next your foundation gets strengthened. Just as in the original <>P90X , you’ll work from instability or athletic positions, because this helps you integrate your strength gains more seamlessly into your real-world movements.
3. Performance – finally the focus changes to pure performance. The secret behind this phase is something called Post-Activation Potentiation or P.A.P. Post-Activation Potentiation or P.A.P.. My understanding of how this works is you do resistance training just prior to performing explosive movements which significantly increases performance. After a few weeks of P.A.P., your body can feel more springy, loose, and young.
<>P90X2 is a training program anyone with a decent fitness base can succeed at. It’s versatile enough so anyone who sees it through to its end can achieve major increases in performance. And while it won’t replace P90X, it should absolutely take your results to the next level.
