What equipment do I need for p90x2?

It depends on your current level of fitness. Will you be modifying to start? A good pair of cross training shoes, a mat for stretch & Yoga, and a set of resistance bands. I prefer the kind that combine a single band with detachable handles. Some starter sets (3 diff level resistance bands, handles, and a door adapter). You can add on from there.

You could use bands but I think the dumbbells are a better workout. 2 sets of two different weights would be a good start and then more later as you get stronger. As far as how heavy?, that's up to your current strength level but starting lighter is smarter as you are required to use them and focus on balance at the same time. I recommend a chin up bar but it does not need to be fancy. I also recommend the medicine balls. I bought an 8# and 10# ball which has its advantages and disadvantages. I have 2 different weights to use with the different exercises but when you have to use them both, the two sizes make it asymmetrical but still workable. I may buy another one of each since 4 balls come in handy for the later workouts. I really enjoy rolling out the muscle groups and think a foam roller is important but it does not need to be expensive. Cheap ones may get flattened after a short while so I wouldn't get too cheap with this item. Hope this helps.

One of those giant balls, some various weights, a pull up bar, and a foam roller (which is awesome and helps a lot!) Have fun!

Hopefully this helps.. you need dumbbells or resistance bands and a pull-up bar. Not required, but you can get a stability bar, yoga mat and blocks, and push up bars. I do fine with dumbbells and my pull up bar. I was told there is a way to do the pull ups without the pull up bar... you can learn about that on u-tube. Hope that helps

Stability ball, 3 8pound medicine balls, 1 yoga block ( not necessary) chin up bar to go on the door ( dicks for $45) and 15/20 pound dumbbells

You will need small weight dumbbell,stability ball,pull up bar,that fits in a door frame.but it gives you options if you do not have the specific equipment.I really enjoy this workout program and suggest it to anyone I talk to.good luck

All that is essential is a pull up bar and some dumbbells (or a band). Every move had a modifier that can be done with the bar minimum.If you want the most out of the workout you'll need a stability ball and 4 medicine balls. Make sure to get good quality items for this. A friend of mine got some cheap ones at Walmart. The stability ball popped on him and he fell flat on his back.

This is a standard weight bench for a beginner. I do not believe you can add to this equipment.

Weights from a standard weight set will work. Amount of weight depends on the weight of your equipment on the end.

P90x3 is completely different from P90x. Its faster paced and not so much about weight lifting as P90x.

Sorry. I have heard of T25, but not used it to exercise with. I love P90X3. It is quote vigorous and fast. It helped to have used P90X previously since many actions are advanced version of those on P 90 X.

Use any strong stationary object like a pole , brick , or gate. Use anything that is going to take your weight

All you would need is the correct drill bits, then let the drill bench press do the work. Do not force it.

I agree with the recommendation to visit a live store and try the equipment before buying. Also, there is some pretty extensive assembly required when you order the machine from Amazon. Such places as Academy Sports will assemble it for you.

Different colored bands (for different weight). If you are not going to use a pull up bar up bar you will need a lat pull machine. The program emphasizes back. I do not have a pull up bar but I do have lots of other equipment including a multi lift piece. You will also need dumbbells and a mat of some sort for the floor.

It depends on your level but for all 90lbs I would say bench press, squats, shoulder and back workouts. This would obviously be very advanced level but I've had the 50lb set before and I found myself needing a little more weight on most exercises to really be challenged. The difference between 50lbs and 90 is a lot of weight and with the design of these you at least have the option to go heavy or light. For men with a history of lifting weights I would highly recommend the 1090's so you have the option to have your strength grow into the heavier weight.

I agree with the others. I think it depends on your size, your neighbors, your apartment, and your ability to land softly. The moves in Power 90 aren't nearly as jump involved as programs like p90x or insanity. Also, the first DVD you'll work on for the first 45 days is only about 30 to 40 minutes per day. The second disc for the last 45 days goes up to about 50 minutes I think.

Agreed. I am doing P 90 to work up to P90x. I wouldn't go back to P90. I'm sure you could modify P90x to get a 6 day schedule. Maybe post the question on team beachbody and am sure someone will help.

If you need something powerful for a gym, look at a small rechargeable PA speaker. I have a Samson xp40iw and it would excel for usage in a gym or outdoor game practice. It has 40watts, XLR and 1/8" inputs, an iPod dock and a wireless mic included for $239 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Portable-Wireless-Handheld-Microphone/dp/B002BSH9TE).

Yes. I've been using this for two years. It is great for anyone whether they're doing P90-X, standard lifting, etc. I'd go with this combo specifically too. Doesnt take up too much room and makes for easier weight adjustment. Almost no assembly so he can get right to work!

I am a personal trainer but am not associated with P90X in anyway. In fact, I will recommend you use a different product (Mike's Mix). Much more affordable and just as effective. P90X is a decent product but it includes a number of ingredients that are included only because it sounds good to do so but will have very little effect on your recovery. It is very important to take in recovery of some sort after a workout but can be done by whole foods if you prefer. Mostly, it's a matter of preference. Your body will absorb the liquid faster than whole foods but in the grand scheme of recovery, is not going to be detrimental if that's what you prefer. Hope this helps!

You'll need a tripod with a tilt head to make the best use of it. A removable plate is a must as well.

I think the question is, why are you asking? If you don't have time to do P90X, then sure, anything is better than nothing. If you use the resistance bands/belt it would be better than not doing exercise. But if you think you will get the same thing in 10 minutes that you got in 55 minutes - absolutely not. So if you are used to P90X there is no way you will see an equivalence - it will be like a great warm-up.
