Bringing It with Tony Horton
Q & A with the creator of P90X P90X2 and P90X3Tony Horton
He brought it.
Then he brought it again.
And now, for good measure, he’s bringing it for a third time. The trilogy is complete.
At the 2013 Leadership Retreat, creator of P90X and P90X2, celebrity fitness trainer, Tony Horton, announced the launch of the much-anticipated P90X3.
So listen up as Tony discusses the difference between P90X and P90X2, why anyone and everyone should try X3, and the reason fitness is the ultimate reward:
Tony, explain the differences between P90X and P90X2?
P90X was the first extreme home fitness program.
It uses the method known as muscle confusion to help you get in the best shape of your life.
P90X2 is all about taking strong, fit bodies and turning them into athletic bodies. It’s athletic training using stabilization and balance.
P90X is for almost anyone–from a professional football player to someone who weighs 200 lbs. and wants to lose weight.
But, P90X2 would be a difficult choice for people who have a lot of weight to lose.
So if folks aren’t athletes, will they still find P90X2 accessible?
Absolutely!
You don’t have to be an athlete to do P90X2.
But I don’t create programs where you can do things poorly and expect to get results.
You have to understand portions of X2 are very challenging, but with persistence you will be able to do many things you never thought possible.
And it’s important to note you don’t have to do P90X in order to do P90X2.
How would you explain these programs to a stranger?
It would depend on the person.
It’s important to understand each individual’s fitness goals.
But I would say almost anybody can do P90X and almost anybody can do P90X2 if they are in pretty good shape.
How do you reward yourself after a good workout?
The reward is the workout.
Beyond building muscle,
a great workout improves my memory, cognition, sleep, range of motion, flexibility, immune system and it makes me more durable, physically and emotionally.
That doesn’t mean I don’t indulge, I just feel less guilty about a big old chocolate chip cookie or a piece of key lime pie.
But I have to earn those things.
Let’s talk about P90X3. What sets it apart from the other programs?
It’s an excuse killer.
The workouts are only 30 minutes.
Each workout has incredibly efficient sequencing of movement so you are getting the most out of your 30 minutes.
There is not a single moment wasted.
If you haven’t done the other P90X programs can you jump into X3?
Yes –
X3 is for all those people who wanted to do P90X but didn’t because they thought it was too long.
P90X3 is accessible to most people because, much like P90X, there are a ton of modifications.
Do you have a favorite workout in P90X3?
Isometrics – I think it will blow people away.
It’s a routine they've never seen before.
I’m also excited to finally introduce Pilates into my repertoire.
Going into the holiday season, why do P90X, X2 and X3 make great gifts?
P90X is for someone who’s curious and doesn't know what to do.
P90X2 is for any and every P90X graduate and there are millions of them.
P90X3 is a brilliant gift for all the people who have seen their friends and family do P90X and say,
“I would buy it, but I don’t have the time.”
Everyone has a half an hour to get in shape.
And if none of those apply and the thought of exercise seems daunting, well, then you give them 10 Minute Trainer!
What are the benefits of drinking Shakeology in conjunction with the P90X programs?
Training requires fuel.
Shakeology gives the body all the ingredients it needs to heal and repair so you can keep going.
What Shakeology flavor is your go-to?
I've been a Greenberry guy from the beginning.
But right now I’m really into the new Vanilla.
I've been adding berries, cashews and almond milk–yum!
What is the best piece of advice you’ve received?
Show up to anything and everything that challenges you.
Any good jokes before we go?
A rabbi a lawyer and a priest walk into a bar and the bartender says,
“What is this a joke?”
