Beachbody announced earlier this month the launch of P90X2, the highly anticipated sequel to the company’s ground breaking 90-day training program.

The sequel is designed for the millions of consumers who ultimately “graduated” from the original 90-day P90X program. Chief Executive Officer, Carl Daikeler states, “P90X2 was designed to take someone with a solid base of fitness, and vault them into a level of agility, core strength, and power they would never imagine they could achieve, whether in 90 days or nine years. This is truly a world-class program.”

Like it’s predecessor, P90X2 will continue the scientific exercise principles of muscle confusion in conjunction with a few new challenges, including balance agility, core strength and athleticism. The sequel will also introduce its newest training method, Post-Activiation-Potentiation (P.A.P), introduced by Harvard-trained physician, Dr. Marcus Elliot. Over the past decade, Elliot and his staff have been refining the P.A.P methodology to yield significant performance improvements among athletes as well as decreased injury rates. The methodology is based on a unique combination of traditional resistance training and total-body plyometrics. When performed in perfect cadence, P.A.P. trains muscles to fire more effectively while significantly increasing explosive strength. Some of the programs anticipated goals include a faster run, higher jump, and more efficient movement.

The launch of P90X2 marks a new phase for Beachbody, LLC and the fitness industry as a whole with its aggressive push into the world of elite functional performance and training methodology. While similar training programs are typically reserved for elite athletes, Beachbody, LLC has made it available to the active consumer and those looking to live healthier lifestyles. Because of its unique ability to package these more-sophisticated exercise principles in a manner that’s easily accessible for mainstream consumers, P90X2 will continue to set the standard for consumer fitness programs for years to come.

Slated for shipping in early December, P90X “grads”, or those looking to join in on the fitness revolution can pre-order their copy at www.P90X2.com.
