Strength Training and Weights

I’ve been looking for a way to get a good workout at home recently, and the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program was exactly what I was looking for.  When I started the program I wasn’t in bad shape, but over the past few weeks I’ve noticed a big improvement in my body.  The program comes with 12 highly diverse and intense DVD workouts that really make you work.  Each workout focuses on a different area.  All the major parts of the body get their own workout, plus you spend time doing yoga, plyometrics, and kickboxing.  Each workout takes advantage of the muscle confusion technique, a type of exercise that keeps your muscles guessing to prevent plateaus.  The workouts are led by Tony Horton.  He instructs very well, keeping it positive and motivating without getting annoying. In order to make sure things don’t get boring, you have the ability to mix and match routines.  You can go for a couple weeks without doing the same routine twice, which is hard to find in an exercise DVD.
