P90X and Muscle Confusion

Allan Talusan · 11-20-2006, 08:35 AM

I woke up to this infomercial on "P90X" on Spike TV this morning and it looks like a hybrid aerobic/fat loss/marketing thing but with CrossFit like tendencies. Did any one else see this? They market a thing they call muscle confusion which seems like a new catch phrase that rehashes the CrossFit methodology. Here's the link:

I saw that on TV a few years ago, I was about convinced to get it (for a 15 yo kid, $150-$200 was a lot of money). I think they definitely have a lot of potential. I heard the guy talking to one of his trial classes telling them how "if you guys keep on eating pizza and hamburger and simple grains etc., you aren't going to lose that fat and gain the ripped muscular body you want, despite how many sit ups we do..." It appears he's got some good stuff going on... but they do bicep curls.
