P90x2 Recovery and Mobility
Recovery is NOT an option!
This is truly an active way to recover from the amazing workouts that someone may have done so far.
If you have the foam roller then prepare to use that thing! The foam roller has got to be (at least to me) one of the most under used piece of equipment that I have came across. For me, I have one and use it quite a bit.
This workout takes anything most people know about the foam roller and takes it to far greater level.
This workout dedicates around 20 minutes to foam roll the entire body. Tony does mention to take even more time to roll out those hot spots that might cause a little more pain than the rest of the body.
There where 2 exercises relating to mobility that made me excited!
They where the Squat with a press and Lunge with a Twist.
The Squat with a press has you use a bar (small pipe sized), they have you squat down (with the bar behind your head), when you get to the bottom of the squat you extend the arms then stand up. That was an amazing movement for me to do! No weights just mobility.
The Lunge with a Twist has you step back into a lunge and twist opposite of the leg that goes back. The bar used in the first exercise is used here as well. The bar is mainly for balance, it is light weight.
When the routine begins there are a set of mobility movements (like the above ones). After those are completed then the foam rolling starts. When the 20 amazing minutes of foam rolling is done then it's time to go to the beginning to do the mobility movements again. The second time around will amaze you!
