P90X2 has been, by far, the most intense workout series I’ve done by Beach Body. P90X was tough, and Insanity was plain insane, but P90X2 took it to a whole new level. The Insanity workouts were tiring, and left me breathless many times, but the P90X2 workouts were physically exhausting. Even 3 weeks into the performance phase, my legs are still very sore and fatigued days after completing the P.A.P. Lower workout.
This ‘X2 Ab Ripper‘ workout focuses more on isolation exercises. So strap yourself in for this fun filled ride! I decided to record myself today doing this workout & give you guys commentary and music to enjoy.

So what to do next, after you’ve finished P90X2? Well, I’m going to start a new workout hybrid with Insanity, just like I did with the original P90X. I’m going to begin with a strength phase , incorporating the original strength phase workouts, with some Insanity, and foundation phase workouts, as I’m already in decent shape from going through a full 90 day P90X2 rotation.
Modified Strength Phase I
Day 1: Chest + Back + Balance & X2 Ab Ripper
Day 2: Cardio Plyo
Day 3: X2 Core
Day 4: X2 Shoulders + Arms & X2 Ab Ripper
Day 5: Cardio Power & Resistance
Day 6: Base + Back & X2 Ab Ripper
Day 7: Rest
I plan on repeating this phase for four to six weeks. At which I’ll move on to another version of this phase, however I’ll be incorporating in the additional workouts from P90X2.
Modified Strength Phase II
Day 1: V Sculpt & X2 Ab Ripper
Day 2: Pure Cardio
Day 3: X2 Balance & Power
Day 4: Rest or X2 Balance & Power
Day 5: X2 Chest + Shoulders + Tris & X2 Ab Ripper
Day 6: Cardio Plyo
Day 7: Rest
As before, I’ll repeat this phase for approximately four to six weeks.
At this point, I’ll be another 90 days or so into the workout, at which point it will be time to switch up the workouts again. I’m thinking about incorporating some Asylum workouts into the mix as well, as it will be summertime, and I’ll be able to perform some of the workouts outside, such as the ladder workouts from Asylum.

1) Inand Outs: Sit down on the mat with your legs straightout in front of you. Lift them off theground. The exercise is to pull theminto your chest, and then to straighten them back out.

2) Bicycles:

While in the same position start to move yourlegs in circles, like you are riding a bike. Do this for 25 seconds, then stop, and do the reverse. Can also be done with hands at the side or inthe air. Like you’re riding a bike inmid-air.3) Crunchy Frog: This is exactly the same as In and Outs withone major difference. Put your armsstraight out to your sides (in the air), and every time you pull in, you alsopull your arms around your knees. In and outs with an arm reach around.
4) Cross Leg/ Wide Leg Sit-Ups: Two ways to do this one. The easier way is to sit down with your legsspread out wide. Next you put your rightarm behind your head, and then lift up with your left arm pointing straight inthe air. Once you are sitting straightup you touch your left arm to the opposite leg – note that it’s important to gostraight up first and then over to touch the leg. That’s one rep; the second rep is the samething but opposite arm. This can also bedone with your legs crossed. Reach up and over.
5) Fifer Scissors: Lie down with your legs straight. Lift both off the ground. Next lift your right leg as high as you can,keeping it straight. The exercise isswitching the left and right leg positions; go back and forth with the rightleg straight in the air, to the left leg straight in the air. Always keep both legs off the ground.

Scissorsin the air with both legs always off the ground.6) Hip Rock And Raise: Legs bent and feet together; have theknees pointing out from each other. During the exercise, always have the same distance between the knees. Rock backwards and then raise the hips tomove upwards. This exercise is all aboutmoving the hips up and down, while using the core to keep the position of yourlegs intact. Hips up, Hips Down.
7) Pulse Ups: Same as number six, the difference being both legs are straight upin the air. Leave them in that positionand just move the hips up and down, up and down. Each up and down counts as one rep. Straightlegs, and moving hips.
8) V-Up/Roll Up: Lie down with the legs straight. Do a sit-up and touch your toes. As you pull away from your toes roll up yourlegs; in other words as you sit backdown raise your legs to the air. Whenyou are about halfway sitting down (your arms always remain in the air) touchyour toes again. Leave your hands in theair and bring your legs back down. Repeat. Each time you touch yourtoes counts as one rep. Sit up, and then sit up with legs in the air.
9) Oblique V-Ups: On your side, with your legs at aforty-five degree angle. Arm at yourside, and other arm behind your head. Bring legs towards chest, by getting all your weight on to yourhips. 25 each side. Crunches on the side.10) Leg Climbs: One leg is straight up, the other oneeither half bent or straight in front. Many ways to do this, depends on how your feeling. Can either reach straight up and touch yourtoes, or you can grab the side of your leg once for support and then touch thetoes. Do 14 on each leg. One legstraight in the air and reach up and touch it.
11) Mason Twist: Sit up straight with the knees slightlybent. Bring your feet off thefloor. Clutch your hands together in afist. Then quickly touch each side ofyour body at a relatively fast pace. Touching both sides once counts as one rep. Do as many as you can.
