Fans of intense fitness rejoice! Today is the official release date for P90X2. Developed by fitness guru Tony Horton and Beach Body Fitness, the original P90X has been a wildly popular workout and nutrition program that advertises significant improvements in your physical fitness over a 90-day period.
The P90X series brings results with an emphasis on “muscle confusion,” a phrase the fitness community uses to describe a routine that involves constant change in exercises to avoid the body’s tendency to slow progress when it gets used to repetition.
Like P90X, P90X2 comes with a 90-day program that split up into three training packages, based on what the company states was two years of research and development. Here are your options:
P90X2 Base
– You get 12 workouts that build balance, agility, and core strength.
– 13 DVDs (12 workouts + How to Bring It Again) or 4 Blu-ray™ discs
– Fitness Guide

Cost: $119.85 (or 3 monthly payments of $39.95)
P90X2 Deluxe
In addition to what you get in the P90X2 base kit, the Deluxe edition, as with two additional P90X2 workouts for more variety. To optimize your workout, you also get workout equipment.
In addition to the base kit, you get:
