some thoughts on the P90X2: foundation phase
finishing off week 2 of the foundation phase of the new P90X: it’s more than i expected, it’s a very different cut from the original and even the One on One’s that purportedly informed it.
for one thing, outside of core and total body, the third resistance video of the week is indefinable. it’s definitely core, it’s definitely leg, heavier chest than back. but the name ‘balance & power’ doesn’t fully encompass the workout itself and is to some degree misleading. it’s more like a balancing core routine to compliment core synergistics.
it’s this “foundation” phase that i have found to be a clear departure from p90x’s previous incarnation. the warm ups are more engaging and encompassing than previously. before you were merely expected to get the juices flowing through some jumping jacks, running in place, etc. followed by a few stretches then bang into the routine. in this incarnation, the warm up comes close to 20 minutes and you’re beyond warmed up by the time you get to the exercises. also the insistence on lunges with an absolute straight leg is gone having been swapped out with a bended knee instead.
