Tony Horton Trains Marines
A recent study showed that more than 25 percent of Americans age 17 to 24 are too overweight to join the military. But fitness guru Tony Horton, the creator of the P90X exercise program, is now stepping in to provide some guidance.
In recent years, 52-year-old (that’s correct, he’s 52) Tony Horton’s P90X workout program has attracted celebrities, professional athletes, congressmen, and a significant number of military members.
He’s now taking his expertise to the next level by providing guidance to military leaders on how to improve fitness for service members.
At results gym in Southeast D.C., he put some Marines to the test. The hour-long workout combined cardio, resistance training, yoga and pilates.
“I’ve never seen anyone his age give it his all, and it really made everyone here push themselves,” said Capt. Lisa Lawrence, a USMC Public Affairs Officer
Horton mentioned some military branches haven’t altered their fitness standards since 1980 despite an obesity rate he says has doubled since the start of the Iraq war.
