I recently had the pleasure to review the P90X program created by Tony Horton. Many people ask me what is the background of Tony Horton. Well, he is from a small town in Rhode Island (Westerly) and after graduating from URI he moved to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting. From the best of my knowledge, his background in fitness and nutrition is based on personal experience. Keep in mind, I am not putting him down for not having a formal education in the health and fitness arena. The P90X, as of November of 2010, has sold 3 million copies and sold for an estimated $420 million, quite a successful [home based] program.The biggest problem with any 'MASS MARKETED' program is that it can't evaluate your motor skills or whether your fit enough for the exercises presented in the various DVD's. Granted they have a self assessment to determine if you are capable, but obviously this can't take the place of a qualified professional's assessment. So, in this sense, it can be potentially harmful.
The fitness program is very good and effective. It offers a lot of variety and not just bodybuilding routines.
As far as the nutrition "Recovery Shake", which is what I want to focus on, this is the program's biggest weakness. Joe Cannon reviews supplements that are currently popular.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I've included the link below which is very comprehensive. Enjoy!
