"Core Synergistics," which combines cardio, stretching and muscle strengthening.
Tony Horton, the P90X trainer and celebrity fitness expert for Beachbody, has a range of fitness skills such as circuit, cross and interval training; weight and resistance training; cardiovascular and aerobic training and more.
Alan Foster, a junior from Hill City, said that Tony Horton's style is definitely eccentric. He likes his training, though, because either Horton or someone else involved in the workout shows him that the workouts can actually be done, Foster said.

According to Beachbody.com, for $119.95, plus shipping and handling, the P90X Extreme Training System includes:

VIOLENCE (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
One in four women nationwide have been victims of domestic violence, Willbanks said. And according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, a domestic violence incident occurred in Kansas every 28 minutes and 34 seconds in 2004.
"Pretty much everybody has had it happen to somebody they

Congressman dies at 77
Rep. John Murtha dies from surgery complications Monday
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Rep. John Murtha, the tall, gruff-mannered former Marine who became the de facto voice of veterans on Capitol Hill and later an outspoken and influential critic of the Iraq War, died Monday. He was 77. The Pennsylvania Democrat had been suffering from complications from gallbladder surgery. He died at Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va., with his family at his bedside, the hospital said.

SEN. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., addresses the crowd with Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., center, and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. Murtha, a critic of the Iraq War whose congressional career was shadowed by questions about his ethics, died Monday. He was 77.
In 1974 Murtha, then an officer in the Marine Reserves, became the first Vietnam War combat veteran elected to Congress.
Murtha's opposition to the Iraq war rattled Washington, where he enjoyed bipartisan respect for his work on military issues.
Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., said that in part because of Murtha, "America is now on track to removing all combat troops from that country by this summer."
President Barack Obama called Murtha, who was known in his home state for helping bring money and projects to areas depressed by the decline of the coal and steel industries, "a steadfast advocate for the people of Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years" with a "tough-as-nails" reputation.
Murtha was born June 17, 1932. The former newspaper
delivery boy left college in 1952 to join the Marines, where he rose through the ranks to become a drill instructor at Parris Island, S.C., and later served in the 2nd Marine Division. He settled in Johnstown, then volunteered for Vietnam, where he served as an intelligence officer and earned a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.
district, said he and Murtha were longtime friends, despite holding different political views and serving in different branches of the military.
"He made sure that Washington, D.C., knew where Johnstown, Indiana, Kittanning and a lot of other sites in western Pennsylvania were located," White said.
Survivors include his wife of nearly 55 years, Joyce, and three children.
