P90X2: Total Body

P90X2 Total Body is about 62 minutes long. The warm up is about 13 minutes and the cool down is about 8 minutes. The focus is on balance as well as strength. Form is really important in this workout, and Tony stresses often that you should go at your own pace and perform the moves correctly.

There are a number of interesting moves, including the really fun "Boing push ups" on the stability ball. These are push-ups on the ball followed by a full lift of the ball over the head -- you really do need a "boing" rhythm to do this!

The workout consists of 13 moves, repeated twice. You will need to keep track of which leg you use first in moves 4-6 because Tony alternates from one round to the other.

The P90X2 workouts are hard to rate in terms of intensity. Balance-wise, they are extremely challenging, and in some cases the balance challenge will get the heart rate up. They are "extreme" in the sense that they require a lot of concentration and core strength.
