Speculation about a sequel to P90X, the best-selling workout from Beachbody and Tony Horton, has been rampant for well over a year. Finally, details about P90X2 were announced last week at the annual Team Beachbody Coach Summit held in downtown Los Angeles.

• Originally called P90X: MC2 (Power 90 eXtreme: Muscle Confusion 2), the sequel is now officially titled P90X2. P90X2 will be released in Fall 2011.

The P90X2 workouts are designed for maximum intensity and efficiency. The all new 90-day program features progressive routines so intense, the number of training days will be reduced to 5 per week, to allow adequate time for recovery. With P90X2, less is more. You’ll need (and earn) your rest.

The principle concept behind P90X and P90X2 is “Muscle confusion” — constantly varying workout routines to confuse your muscles and never allow your fitness progression to plateau. The intense movements, sets, supersets, and complexes in P90X2 will baffle your muscles more than ever. “It’s gonna blow your mind, that’s for sure,” Tony Horton said at the Coach Summit.

P90X2 will include 14 workouts in 3 phases: Foundation, Strength and Performance. You’ll begin by improving your Foundation, addressing fitness instability. Then you’ll build Strength and, finally, power, which all translates to improved Performance.

Beachbody enlisted the services of Dr. Marcus Elliot, a renowned sports trainer, to infuse groundbreaking training techniques into P90X2 that had previously only been available to world-class athletes.

P90X2 will include a new and improved nutrition guide that incorporates the Shakeology ultra-premium nutritional shake.

P90X2 will utilize optional new equipment but each workout will include a modifier so there’s a version for everyone. Surprisingly, P90X2 will include no purely cardiovascular routines.

P90X stresses the importance of “muscle confusion” — switching up the order of routines and adding new movements during each phase, forcing the body to continuously adapt to new stresses so that it never plateaus.

A growing list of celebrities have reported using P90X. Film/TV: Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Jennie Garth. Music: Sheryl Crow, Pink. Professional Athletes: Ray Lewis, David Akers, David Garrard, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo.

The Power 90 In Home Boot Camp focuses on shaping and toning specific muscle groups using a “Sectional Progression” training technique, where each movement targets a specific zone for increased fat burning efficiency.

The routines are quick and engaging and Tony Horton’s unique training style helps keep you motivated every step of the way.

If you’re determined to get into shape but not ready for the high intensity of P90x, then Power 90 is a good choice. The program is still demanding but can be used by beginners or as a starting point before advancing to the more rigorous P90X. It’s also less expensive.

There are six Sectional Progression cardio and body-sculpting workouts:

• Sculpt Circuit 1–2: Simple routines to help tone, firm, and strengthen your entire body (29 minutes)
• Sweat Cardio 1–2: Fun, innovative cardio moves, kickboxing, Pilates, and more to burn fat and lose inches fast (36 minutes)
• Sculpt Circuit 3–4: More advanced workouts for sculpting long, lean muscles (38 minutes)
• Sweat Cardio 3–4: Accelerated fat and calorie blasting (42 minutes)
• Ab Ripper 100 & 200: Two ab routines for flat, sexy six-pack abs (6 minutes each)

The program also includes innovative tools for tracking your success:

• Program Guide and Transformation Tracker
• 90-day progress tracking calendar
• Free online access to diet and fitness tips and community
• Fat Burning Express workout: 35 minute program to jump-start metabolism and burn fat and calories fast
• Fat Burner Meal Plan
• 6-Day Fat Burning Express weight loss plan
• Success measurement card and tape measure

In addition to the DVDs and printed material the package includes a Power Sculpting Band that provides ideal resistance for every exercise.

After simple assembly the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Bar can be installed in standard doorways in just seconds. Using your body’s own weight as leverage the bar mounts securely without the use of brackets, screws or fasteners.

When positioned in the doorway you can perform pull-ups and chin-ups using three grip positions (narrow, neutral, and wide) to develop arms, shoulders and back. Then, easily move the Iron Gym to the floor for deep dip push-ups, tricep dips or sit-ups and crunches using the bar as a foot anchor.

Using the body’s weight as resistance will always be an alternative to more expensive exercise machines. Pull-up/chin-up workouts help with motivation as you increase strength and try to best your record number of reps.

The Iron Gym is built with durable steel, supports users up to 300 pounds and is designed to fit residential doorways 24″ to 32″ wide with trim or molding up to 3.5″ wide. Like all bars of this type there’s a possibility of not fitting securely in older or non-standard doorways, but by all accounts these complaints are rare.

At about half the price of the the P90X version, and with so much convenience and versatility, you can’t go wrong with the Iron Gym Total Upper Body Workout Bar.

The 10 Minute Trainer, sold through Beachbody, is a good choice for those looking for a less rigorous program. But don’t expect to breeze through these DVD workouts. They are challenging.

The system is relatively straight forward and easy to pick up, but be prepared to move fast. Part of the success is the quick transitions that keep you hustling to be ready for the next position. Like any fitness routine you should expect to work hard to produce results, especially during such a short workout period. Although the segments are only 10 minutes we recommend doing the 2 minute warm up and cool down which will extend your workout session to 14 minutes.

A contributing factor to Tony Horton’s success is his ability to impart a feeling that your own personal trainer is guiding and motivating you step by step. These DVDs allow you to increase or decrease the intensity based on your fitness level or vary the number of workouts each day. When you don’t have time to go to the gym or commit to P90X these DVDs are a great alternative.

The 10 Minute Trainer Workouts:

• Total Body – 10 moves in 10 minutes that work all muscle groups from head to toe
• Cardio – Nothing complicated, just simple kicking, lunging, and punching moves get you in the fat-burning zone fast
• Abs – A tough 10 minute workout with 20 exercises lasting 30 seconds each
• Lower body – 10 varied and challenging moves to slim thighs and firm glutes
• Yoga Flex – Total-body stretch routine for long, lean muscles and a focused mind

The package also includes a Resistance Band, Power Cardio Belt, Customized workout calendar, Rapid Results Guidebook, 10-Minute Meals, On-the-Go Workout Cards & 10-Day Lean Jean Plan.
