I often think that the tradition of New Year’s Resolutions is an awful one, since it gives us an excuse to postpone getting healthy till after all the bad eating habits have run their course, and then make of what should be a marathon a sprint as people try to undo all the damage one over the Fall and Winter months in but a few weeks. So don’t be like everybody else: get in shape today!

4 Fave P90X Moves
If you've been around the P90X block a couple of times, then you'll have your favorite workouts and the ones you dread.

Tony Horton @ the FIU Recreational Expo
So it's Friday, and I'm finally back at work. These past few days have been a whirlwind of P90X, meeting people, discussing fitness, promoting Beachbody and having a blast. Our team managed to pull everything off with smooth efficiency, and we celebrated last night with a large dinner, everybody at once proud of all our work and glad that it was over. Who would have thought sponsoring and running such events would be so tiring? When the adrenaline finally wears off, you're left thinking: Wow. How did I just do all that?

Extreme Fitness Results is proud to sponsor his appearance here, and we'll all be present to both talk to people and make the most of the moment.
Muscle Confusion: Is It For Real?
Tony Horton has based his P90X workout on the premise of 'Muscle Confusion', in which the 3 month workout is broken down into different phases, each containing a different variety of moves.

Is this true? Is there science behind this claim? In today's blog post, we take a closer look.
