As a coach, you’ll also enjoy a 25% discount on the P90X Results and Recovery Formula drink. If you haven’t tried it yet, I recommend trying the Results and Recovery after a hard workout.

Are you looking for your next challenge after crushing P90X? Another top reason you want to be a Beachbody Coach is to snag that 25% discount on all the fitness programs.

7. You Want to Be a Beachbody Coach to Help Other People Get Fit
Becoming a Beachbody coach is a nice way to compliment or fill in a income gap for Personal Trainers; however, you do not have to be a Person Trainer, group exercise trainer, or fitness expert. Beachbody has a staff of professional trainers and complete work in home programs that include fitness instruction, meal planning, and support. All you have to do is to have a desire to help other people get fit and plug into this proven system. The Beachbody business system supports all of these critical elements to promote your success: high demand, value, limited competition, affordability, continuous need, and products backed by a guarantee.

There are several reasons people want to own their own business. Maybe you’re tired of working for someone else who tells you what days and hours you want to work. Maybe you would like the tax advantages of a home business. Whether want something full time or part time, becoming a Beachbody coach is an expensive way to get started with your own business right away. Plus, you get to take vacations whenever you choose. You set your own schedule. You have control of your time.
9. You Want to Be a Beachbody Coach Because You’ll Have a Low Start Up Cost for Your New Business
If you’ve ever looked into starting your own business, you’ll understand how incredibly inexpensive it is to start your own Beachbody coaching business. There is an initial set up fee of just under $40 and a monthly fee of $14.95 to host your websites, take care of your ordering process, shipping, returns, and customer service. You customer will be able to check out with a credit card without a service charge to you like you would normally get with a merchant account or PayPal type of service. It’s really a pretty good deal.
10. You Want to Be a Beachbody Coach Because Beachbody Gives You Customers

Do you like the results you’ve had with P90X or another Beachbody workout program? Do the ten reasons you want to be a Beachbody coach listed above resonate with you?
P90X 2 Exercises Workout Review Phase I
This is my P90X 2 exercises workout review for Phase I. I am in my fifth week of P90X 2 as I write this post, and I plan on completing a total of six weeks in Phase I before I move onto Phase II. My philosophy is to check your ego at the door. Some people may be ready to move to Phase II after three weeks, but I’m still getting something out of the P90X2 exercises in Phase I.
One of the big differences between P90X and P90X 2 is the trainer (Tony Horton) trusts you to know your own body and fitness level. In P90X, there’s a set schedule moving through three phases with a set and equal number of weeks for each phase. In P90X 2, you should already have a fitness base. You can hang out more or less time in each phase depending on your own progress as assessed by you. Having said that, I could move on to Phase II. I am choosing to stay in Phase I for a full six weeks.
The P90X2 exercises in Phase I are awesome. I haven’t been able to master all the moves. I’m not saying that I need to master all the moves, but as long as I am increasing my balance, strength, and endurance from the P90X2 exercises in Phase I…why not?
With each P90X2 workout, I feel stronger. I especially love the Warrior 3 variations. For example, some of the P90X2 exercises are warrior 3 tricep exenstions, warrior 3 curls, warrior 3 row press, and warrior 3 squats! I also like all the moves that involve side planks. Let’s just say my core, glutes, and abs are gaining strength with every P90X2 workout.
Here’s a quick P90×2 review for Phase I:
Day 1: X2 Core
Day 2: Plyocide
Day 3: Rest or X2 Recovery + Mobility
Day 4: X2a Total Body & X2 Ab Ripper
Day 5: X2 Yoga
Day 6: X2 Balance + Power
Day 7: Rest or X2 Recovery + Mobility
Each P90X 2 workout is about 60 minutes long and includes the best stretching warm up I’ve seen in any of the Beachbody Workouts I’ve done, including P90X. Don’t be surprised if you’re twenty minutes into your P90X 2 workout before you actually get out of the warm up phase!
The best thing about P90X 2 in my opinion is I am not getting bored, and I am seeing progress every week. I use a band, med balls, a stability ball, and five pound weights. We are not using heavy weights to do lawn mower exercises like we did in P90X. The P90X 2 workouts are about getting stronger, engaging the stabilizer muscles, and pushing yourself to do incredible things that you struggle with in the beginning.
The P90X 2 workout program will be high on my list of favorite Beachbody workouts. I will probably try to mix some Turbofire with P90X 2 sometime this summer after I finish my initial P90X2 program.
Have you ordered your P90X 2, yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the P90X2 exercises and your P90X 2 workout review of Phase I.

P90X Core Synergistics Workout vs. X2 Core Exercise Routine in P90X2
I just started my fourth week of Phase I with Tony Horton’s recently released P90X2. I love this program. It is similar to P90X but totally different. Tony says it’s not P90 X harder but P90X different. I’m starting to understand what he meant. A comparison of the P90X Core Synergistics workout and the X2 Core routine from P90X2 will give you a good feel for what he means.
This is a corathon!
— Tony Horton on X2 Core
I had a little anxiety when my P90X2 first arrived. I was used to the P90X routine and wondered how different P90X2 would be from the original P90X program. I had a feeling it would add variety to my workouts though because I had done several of his P90X One on One workouts. So, I opened up my box and the first workout on the P90X2 schedule was X2 Core.
I thought this was a little odd since the Core Synergistics workout wasn’t on the schedule until week 4 in P90X. And that P90X core workout was presented more as a recovery workout. Alas, I was starting P90X2 with a core routine? I soon learned that there were similarities and differences between the two core exercise workouts. I love the X2 Core routine more each time I do it.
There isn’t much of anything wimpy about P90X unless you compare the P90X Core Synergistics workout warm up to the warm up for X2 Core. In Core Synergistics, you run in place, do a few jumping jacks, a few lunges, and some static stretches. The warm up for X2 Core is a workout in and of itself. It takes up about half the workout time. I’m not complaining because the warm up is more like stretching, strength training, yoga and massage combined. And, just when you’re looking at the timer wondering where the time has gone, it’s time to get busy.
Both of these programs have about the same number of core exercises (excluding the warm up and cool down periods). The biggest difference is the X2 program forces you to use more of those tiny little stabilizer muscles in your core muscles. Core Synergistics was a recovery workout, a workout you do when you need to give your body a little bit of a rest. X2 Core is a core routine with 18 challenging core exercises. It builds on some of the Core Synergistics exercises and adds a some new moves.
For example, the Banana Roll from P90X is modified into the Banana Ball Switch Crunch in X2 Core. There isn’t a “superman” to go with the banana, but just see how many times you can tranfer a medicine ball from your feet to your hands and back while crunching in the banana position. Add a medicine ball to the Dreya Roll from P90X and you’ve got the Med Ball Dreya Roll.
There are plenty of new core exercises in X2 that challenge your strength and balance. Sphinx Plank Crunch and Warrior 3 Cross Crunches start the line up. I’m getting better at all 18 core exercises, but the one that still perplexes me is the Plank Burpee On Stability Ball. Yep, I’ve got to modify this one. Take a look at this trailer for X2 Core:
Warrior 3 Cross Crunch
Single Leg Walk Out to Sphinx
Half Angel
Roller Boat
3 Speed Med Ball Push Up
One Leg Lateral Leap Squat
Core Circles
Holmsmen Screamer Lunge
Med Ball Dreya Roll
Plank Burpee On Stability Ball
Banana Ball Swich Crunch
3 Point Squat Press with Med Ball
Slo Mo Balance Climber
X2 Diver
Ryan Sphinx Twist Crunch (2 sides)
One Leg Med Ball Burpee
Doesn’t that make you tired just reading about it? Really, I have so much more energy after I complete this workout. Although there are similarities between the two workouts, I can see why it is the first workout in the P90X2 lineup. It is definitely not a recovery workout. So, is it harder? No, it’s different. The P90X Core Synergistics workout is different from the stability, med ball, sphinx centered core stability engaging P90X2 X2 Core routine!

P90X2 Nutrition Guide More Flexible than P90X Nutrition Plan But Designed to Power Performance
The P90X2 nutrition guide simplifies the P90X nutrition plan and adds more choices to customize it for your needs and philosophies. With three macronutrient mixes, three caloric levels, and meal planning that includes grain-free and vegan options, the P90X 2 nutrition plan helps you “Bring It” to the next level.
According to Steve Edwards, cutting calories works when you want to lose weight but as you get into shape, you have to eat to fuel your performance. You have to eat to match the activity you are doing to continue to improve performance and get results. That’s why it’s important to read and follow the P90X2 Nutrition Guide.
“This is not a weight loss diet. I think it’s important to get that out of the way right up front. This doesn’t mean that you won’t lose weight. If you want to, you will. But this nutrition plan is designed to increase your body’s performance, where weight loss comes as a natural extension of being healthy, because that’s how you’ll get lasting results.” Steve Edwards, Director of Results, Beachbody
The P90X2 nutrition guide is similar to the P90X nutrition plan, but it has more choices. It’s also more flexible and somewhat simplified. If you remember the portion plan from the P90X nutrition guide, you’ll be very comfortable with the P90X2 nutrition plan.
The P90X2 nutrition guide has three plans, three levels, and three different option. It’s not as difficult as it sounds though. Let’s take a quick look at each area.
First, the P90X 2 nutrition guide is broken up into three macronutrient composition plans: Fat Shredder, Engery Booster, and Endurance Maximizer. Half of the calories on the Fat Shredder plan come from protein while 25% come from carbohydrates and 25% from fat. This plan will help you shred fat but shouldn’t be followed more than a few weeks.
You’ll need energy for the P90X 2 workouts, so the P90X2 nutrition guide progresses to the Energy Booster plan. This plan provides a good balance of the macronutrients with 40% of the calories from carbohydrates, 30% from protein and 30% from fat.
The final plan, the Endurance Maximizer, is designed for just that…maximizing your endurance. It’s loaded with a profile containing 50% carbohydrates, 25% protein and 25% fat.
After determining your macronutrient needs, you’ll need to determine your daily caloric needs while working out with the P90X2 program. Don’t stress too much over this calculation. The P90X 2 nutrition guide has a page that simplifies the formula. You’ll work within one of three caloric levels (1800, 2400 or 3000 calories).
The next thing you’ll need to do is decide which of three plan options you want to follow. The P90X2 nutrition guide provides a standard nutritional meal plan as well as a vegan option and a grain-free option.
Once you know what plan, what level and what option fits your goals and philosophies, you’ll just eat the number of portions listed in the P90X2 nutrition guide for proteins, dairy, fruit, vegetables, fats, grains, legumes/tubers, condiments, and snacks. What can you eat and what constitutes a portion size? The P90X2 nutrition guide has that covered, too. It’s all in the guide. You’ll even find over fifty recipes in the P90X2 nutrition guide to simplify your P90X2 nutrition plan!

What’s in the P90X 2 Deluxe Package?
What’s in the P90X 2 deluxe package? How about a mental challenge, a total body transformation, and the latest scientific athletic training available? How about your own personal trainer, the creator of P90X, Power 90, and 10 Minute Trainer? Tony Horton’s new program officially made it to my house this week. I’m so excited that I’m going to share with you what’s in the P90X 2 deluxe package because I know you’ll want the nuts and bolts of what’s in the box.
At the heart of the program is a wallet full of workout dvds, 14 workout dvds to be exact. I won’t go into details about the actual workouts in this post, because I’ll be writing more on each workout in later writings and will link them back to this post as they’re written. In the meantime, here’s a brief summary of the workouts:
- X2 Core
- Plyocide
- X2 Recovery and Mobility
- X2 Total Body
- X2 Yoga
- Balance and Power
- Check & Back + Balance
- X2 Shoulders and Arms
- Base and Back
- PAP Lower
- PAP Upper
- X2 Ab Ripper
- V Sculpt
- X2 Chest + Shoulders + Triceps
The last two workouts are bonus P90X 2 workouts that only come with the deluxe and ultimate packages. They actually come in separate packaging from the dvd wallet, but there are spaces in the back of the wallet to add these two workout dvds and complete the set.
I should also mention a very important dvd that you’ll find in the very first sleeve of the P90X 2 dvd wallet. It’s a “How to Bring It Again” video of Tony Horton introducing the P90X 2 program. After drooling over the rest of the contents of the P90X 2 deluxe package, you’ll want to start by watching this tutorial.
Oh, if you order P90X 2 from a coach like me, you’ll also get two additional bonus workout dvds in your P90X 2 deluxe package. You’ll get the P90X One on One 4 Legs and P90X One on One Upper Body Balance dvds for free.
Ok, so what else is in the P90X 2 deluxe package? How about two eight pound medicine balls, a stability balance ball, and a foam roller to help you challenge your mental and physical capabilities? As you can see in this picture, you’ll have to inflate the ball. It comes with a foot pump to blow it up or you can take it to a gas station and use an air pump to fill it.
The P90X 2 deluxe package will also include a P90X 2 workout calendar, the P90X2 Nutrition Guide and of course, the P90X2 Fitness Guide. The exercise guide even includes a hybrid program for P90X 2 and Insanity The Asylum. I can see these two programs working well together.
What’s not in the P90X 2 deluxe package that FedEx will deliver to your door? What’s not in the box is the online support you’ll get through your free Team Beachbody account or your free coach to help you maximize your results. Once you order P90X 2 and I’m your coach, contact me to join one of my P90X 2 challenge groups.
I know you’ll be excited when your own box arrives. I know you’ll be excited when you pull out your medicine balls, your foam roller and all the other goodies that come in the P90X 2 deluxe package!
