Phase one begins with the chest and back, pushing and pulling throughout a fierce program meant to fortify, improve and shape the significant muscles of the upper body. "Ab Ripper X," a 16-minute workout that aims to exercise every realm of the abdomen, comes next.
That is just the first day of the three-phase, 90-day workout P90X has in store for its customers. Each phase of this home-training system lasts four weeks and schedules six days of workouts and one day of cool down. Experts from Beachbody, the Los Angeles-based company that created P90X,
guarantee their customers will "go from regular to ripped in 90 days."
According to Beachbody.com, P90X includes 12 DVDs with routines focusing on the chest and back, shoulders and arms, legs, chest and triceps.
"I use it everyday," Logan Brown, a senior from Manhattan, said. "What I like about it is that it incorporates a lot of different workouts that I wouldn't normally do."
Brown said he really enjoyed the "Kenpo X" DVD, which features a cardio workout similar to Tae Bo. Brown said he also liked using the yoga DVD because it is a workout he wouldn't ordinarily do.
Other P90X DVDs include "Plyometrics" which consists of 30 high-charged jumping moves, and

CRIME
Sex crimes, DUI offenses increase in Lawrence
BY ELLIOT METZ emetzkansan.com
Although the overall number of crimes went down, the city of Lawrence saw a sharp rise in both sex crimes and driving under the influence offenses over the last year when compared to 2008.
"There needs to be a big awareness of these problems so they can be avoided," Lyndsey Carrel, a sophomore from Spring Hill, said.
Some KU students think that the lack of knowledge about the numbers could be contributing to the problem.
The Lawrence Police Department reported that there were 163 sex crimes
The five crimes that occurred in Lawrence in 2009 that the Kansas Statutes define as "sex crimes" are rape, forcible sodomy, forcible fondling, incest and statutory rape.
Lawrence saw a significant increase in the number of raps last year; the number of reported incidents rose from 47 in 2008 to 71 in 2009 — a 51 percent jump.
reported in 2009, which is an 18 percent increase from 2008, when 138 cases were reported.
"That's really frightening," said Renae O'Keele, a sophomore from Cleveland, Mo. "I had no idea that the number of rapes would be that high."
"I just always make sure there's someone with me at all times." O'Keefe said. "It's easy to get caught up in the scene and be stupid, but you just have to know better than that."
Although she is aware of the potential dangers, O'Keefe admits that going out can present a slippery slope.
DUIs also saw a rise from 491 in 2008 to 612 in 2009 — a 25 percent increase.
Carrel lives by similar rules.
"Lock your doors, use SafeRide and just avoid bad situations," Carrel said.

STATE
New bill would redefine abuse
BY ERIN BROWN
ebrown@kansan.com
Legislators are reviewing a new House bill to expand the definition of domestic violence and help to better identify offenders early on. The bill is in response to delayed convictions of domestic violence in Kansas.
Representative Pat Colloton, R-Leawood, said the current laws in Kansas don't catch offenders early enough. In Kansas, domestic violence is defined as battery of a person, she said. The first two times the crime is committed it is a misdemeanor and the third time it is a felony.
"Only three people were convicted of domestic violence as felonies in Kansas last year," she said. "And you know there is much more domestic violence in Kansas than that."
Other crimes, such as destruction of property, threats and disorderly conduct, are not classified as domestic violence under the current law, said Colloton, vice-chair for the Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice.
Offenders may also be required to attend treatment such as anger management programs.
If these offenses were committed within an intimate partner relationship, the new bill, HB 2517, would ask police officers, attorneys and courts to consider them as possible domestic violence crimes. The offender's record would then receive a domestic violence tag that would remain on the conviction record, showing incidents of domestic violence and providing a better understanding of criminal history, lawmakers said.
Collotton said the tags would help catch domestic violence offenders before an incident of battery.
"The sociologists tell us domestic violence gets worse and worse with greater and greater risk," Colloton said. "We want that criminal history."
The mother and stepfather of former KU law student Jana Mackey testified in favor of the bill last week. Mackey, 25, was killed by her ex-boyfriend, Adolfo Garcia-Nunez, 46, in 2008. He reportedly choked her, struck her and cut her on the arm with a knife.
Two days after being taken into custody, Garcia-Nunez committed suicide.
Tanner Willbanks, a senior from Hays and former friend of Mackey, said he thought the bill was a good idea.
"Police will be able to watch escalations in the crime much easier," he said.
Willbanks said he didn't know whether Mackey would still be alive if a similar bill had been passed earlier, but that education is the best way to prevent domestic violence.
"People need to understand that just because their mom or dad did it, that doesn't make it right," he said.
