Tony Horton Is One America's Fittest People Of All Time

Beachbody’s golden boy, Tony Horton has made the Men’s Health list of fittest Americans of all time! Tony Horton is the creator and trainer behind the popular home workout program P90x. If you haven’t heard of P9ox by now, you must be living under a rock. If you haven’t done P90x yourself, I am sure you know someone that has done it or is doing it. P90x is a great workout program that can be done by anyone and is has even become popular among celebrites and professional athletes.

I love seeing this type of publicity and exposure for Beachbody products. It helps create brand awareness and demand, which makes my job as a Beachbody Coach much easier. I don’t have to explain what P90x is because everyone already know what it is, by the time they get to me, they just want to know how they can buy P90x.

Congratulations to Tony Horton for making the list. Here is a list of a few other names that also made the list:

  • Chuck Norris
  • Jack LaLanne
  • Muhammad Ali
  • Carl Lewis

As you can tell from the list above, Tony is among legends. Tony Horton might be the most popular trainer in the world, he is in the homes of millions of people helping them get in shape. His entire catalog is estimated to have generated $500 million in sales revenue and that number is continues to grow. The reason for Tony Horton’s and P90x’s popularity is simple, the program works.

What Is The Difference Between P90x And P90x2P90x2 was recently released and the most common question I have been getting is, what is the difference between P90x and P90x2? People want to know how much harder P90x2 is, how many days a week the workout schedule is, what new moves and exercises are done in P90x2, and is the meal plan the same?

One of the biggest complaints about the original P90x is that the Yoga x workout was too long. At 90 minutes, I have to agree with the masses, 90 minutes is a long workout. Well I have some great news. The yoga workout in P90x2 is only an hour long. So you can stop the worrying now that you know when the yoga day comes it will only be a 60 minute session.

Another change that has been made that I think you will be happy about is that the P90x2 Schedule is only 5 days a week. The workouts are a little more vigorous than the original P90x workouts, so they wanted to give you an extra rest day.

More Differences Between P90x And P90x2:

P90x was created to get you in the best shape of your life where as P90x2 was created to improve athletic performance, with getting in shape and getting a better body as an inevitable byproduct.

Both P90x and P90x2 use the “muscle confusion” techniques, but P90x2 goes a step further and also incorporates Post-Activation Potentiation (wordpress showed the word “potentiation” as a misplessing, so I googled it to make sure it was a real word and not something Tony Horton just made up, this was the definition: To promote or strengthen (a biochemical or physiological action or effect). Anyhow, this Post-Activation Potentiation will stimulate mobility, power, speed, and agility to improve your overall athletic performance.

Unlike P90x, the phases of P90x2 are not set in stone. After doing P90x, you should be aware of your body and be able to adjust the phases to suit yourself. The phases of P90x2 range of 3-6 weeks and are changed at your own discretion. Everyone is different, so one phase might need to be longer or shorter, it all depends on the individual. Being able to determine the length of your phases will help customize the program so you can achieve the best results possible.

There are some more differences between P90x and P90x2 that you can see in the video below. Tony Horton himself explains the differences and why this workout is a must have if you want to keep the muscle confusion and results coming.

As you can see, P90x2 is a totally different workout from the original P90x. Be sure to order P90x2 through the link below so you get the 2 exclusive bonus workouts.

Ceci Was A $1000 Beachbody Challenger Winner

Ceci Won $1000 In The Beachbody Challenge

Congratulations to Ceci P., from Puerto Rico. Ceci lost 117 pounds with the P90x and Insanity workout, and by drinking Shakeology and the P90x Recovery Drink.  Ceci’s before and after pictures look like a totally different person. Ceci had amazing results and is an inspiration to us all. She is one of the 10 $1000 Beachbody Challenge winners for the month of October.

As a Beachbody Coach, I’m often asked what workout program I would recommend for individuals and my answer always depends on the person. It depends on their current fitness level and what their goals are. Normally, I would think twice about recommending P90x to start out with for a 237 pound woman. P90x is an intense workout and is challenging even for someone that is in good shape. But Ceci’s results are making me rethink my opinions when recommending a workout program.  Just because someone is a hundred pounds overweight, doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to do P90x, Ceci is perfect proof of that.

P90x is a workout program that can be done by anyone at any fitness level. It is great because the moves and exercises can be modified to the individual’s fitness level, which is why everyone who follows the P90x workout program will see results.

Congratulation again to Ceci! I have a feeling she will be in the running for the Beachbody Challenge $5000 quarterly prize, and even the $100,000 grand finale prize.

Clear your schedule, Tony Horton is going to be on the Dr. Oz show on Monday, October 31st. I don’t have details of the show, or even what the topic is, but Tony is always entertaining.

I actually watch the Dr. Oz on occassion when I can fit it into my day. It is a pretty good show, it mainly is about health and fitness, and I always pick up so good tips or learn something new evertime I watch.

The sequel to Tony Horton’s P90x, P90x2, is set to be released soon am I am sure Tony will find a way to fit in a plug for it, and the original.

Tony is also the fitness instructor feature in the hit workout programs, 10 Minute Trainer, and Power90.

Be sure to tune in Monday or set your DVRs so you can catch the show. I will make an update on Monday to this post to write about how Tony Horton’s appearance on Dr. Oz goes.

Maybe Tony will give Dr. Oz a sample of Shakeology and he can give a review of it.

Ben Stiller And Jonah Hill Do P90x

Ben Stiller P90x

Ben Stiller Does P90x

P90x makes the Tonight Show! Last night, shrunken comedy actor, Jonah Hill, appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jonah was noticeably smaller and it was obvious he had lost a considerable amount of weight. Jay asked Jonah what he did to lose the weight and Jonah replied by saying he was eating right and exercising. What a shocker? I never would of thought that eating healthy and exercising would make someone lose weight, what a concept! Anyhow, Jonah went on to mention that his costar in a new movie he is currently working on, Ben Stiller, is doing P90x and how he is in “crazy good shape”. He also mentioned that Ben convinced him to try P90x, although he stated that he hasn’t really dived into it yet.

I’m adding Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill to the list of professional athletes and celebrities that do P90x.

As a Beachbody Coach, it is always great to see Beachbody products in the media. Ben Stiller is in amazing shape and him crediting P90x for that says a lot. P90x is not just some silly fad. It is an intense workout that has become so popular because it produces results for anyone who follows the program. There is no fancy equipment needed, and it can be done in a small one bedroom apartment.

See Jonah’s interview with Jay Leno in the video below:

ABC News Talks About P90x And Why It Is So Popular

Once again Beachbody and P90x is in the news. It is always good when the company I am involved with get this kind of attention. It helps create brand awareness which makes my job as a Beachbody Coach (distributor) much easier. As a Beachbody Coach, my job is simply sharing with others products that I use and love, and informing people about the solutions that Beachbody provides to help one reach their health and fitness goals. Because the Beachbody and P90x brand have become so popular, I often don’t even have to explain the product, people already know what it is. There is really no “selling” involved on my part, rather I share and recommend. P90x is a product that gets results and people love it. So every time I do make a “sale”, I feel good about knowing that I’ve helped someone reach their fitness goals.

But Beachbody is more than just P90x. They have a workout program for just about everyone. There is Insanity, Turbo Fire, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, Slim In 6, and many others chose from. In the video below, which is the news clip I mentioned above, Carl Daikeler, CEO of Beachbody talks about the other programs and why P90x is so popular. The news reporter says something along the lines of, “it seems kind of culty”. Are Carl goes on to explain that people love the program because it works. A lot of people don’t want to go to the gym and want to workout at home. Beachbody’s workout programs are targeted towards these people.

But there is also the people who have gym memberships, go a few times a week, but don’t really break over that plateau and achieve the kind of results they are looking for. They try a Beachbody workout, get the results they are looking for, and never return back to the gym.

It makes sense, driving back and forth to the gym takes time, and gas money. Why not just workout at home with a Beachbody product. When compared to the price of a gym membership, people who use Beachbody workout programs are actually saving money in the long run.

In the video below, ABC News talks with Tony Horton, the creator of P90x, and Carl Daikeler about the popularity of P90x and Beachbody.

Corey Hart Does P90x

Corey Hart Does P90x & Insanity

Professional baseball player Corey Hart is another name added to list of professional athletes and celebrities that use P90x. The list has been growing like wildfire and I’m sure I’ve missed a few, and I’m positive there are a lot more that have not yet come out of the closet, so to speak, and admitted that they are doing P90x. What is new is that now more and more people are starting to talk about and take notice of Insanity, Shaun T’s 60 day workout program that is guaranteed to take you from flabby to fit in only 60 day. Insanity is also produced and distributed by Beachbody, which guarantees it is a quality product. Beachbody refuses to put out their name on garbage, so you know anything you buy with their logo on it is worth 2-3 times what you paid for it.

In a recent article at www.jsonline.com, Corey Hart talks about his P90x And Insanity workout, this is what he had to say.

Hart works out to maintain the speed needed for range in right field, and his workouts have helped him build up to 234 pounds.

But with four kids and a crazy schedule, Hart doesn’t hire a personal trainer like a lot of his teammates.

“I’m the infomercial junkie,” said Hart.

So he tortures himself with P90X, a TV fitness workout, and when that’s been conquered, he tries Insanity. Its website warns: “You might just complete the hardest workout program ever put on DVD.”

The results have helped Hart play another solid season in right.

P90x is a great workout program. As a Beachbody Coach, and someone who personally uses P90x, it is great whenever I hear about of professional athletes using it and admitting publicly that it is a great workout that gets results. It says a lot when you see a professional athelete, who has time and the money to spend to worth with a big personal trainer if they want to, yet they still decide to pop in the DVD and press play. P90x reviews are always positive because it flat out works, there is no debating that.

p90x2

Do I Need To Do P90x Before I Can Do P90x2?

The sequel to P90x, called P90x2, is now available for pre-order and will start shipping out sometime right before Christmas. Beachbody has not given an exact shipping date, they are only guaranteeing delivery before Christmas if you pre-order before the first run sells out.

The sequel to P90x2 is going to be tough. I’ve seen some of the previews for it and it looks awesome. A common question people are asking is, do I need to be is great shape or at least finished P90x before I can do P90x2? I would say yes, P90x2 is a continuation of the original P90x, so you will want to at least get 1 round of P90x in before you give P90x2 a try. And even one round of P90x might now be good enough, it make take a few rounds of P90x before you are able to handle P90x2.

However, if you’re a “hot shot” who is in awesome shape, feel free to give P90x2 a try. You might be able to handle it, but I’ll be betting against you.

There are few changes made to the P90x2 schedule that sound very good. Instead of 6 day a week, like the original P90x, P90x2 is only 5 days a week. And instead of a 90 minute yoga session, which is what P90x had, P90x2 has a yoga session that is only about an hour long. Other than that, P90x2 is designed to keep the muscle confusion going and to get the greatest results possible in the shortest amount of time.
