The Magic Motivation Style of Tony Horton of Beach Body Fame
I am a proud graduate of Tony Horton’s P90X extreme home workout. That doesn’t make me anything special.
It is widely known that P90X has reshaped the physical body and well-being of millions in the US and around the world.
The star of the show is the workout itself. A darn close second as best supporting actor is trainer Tony Horton. Hailing from the east coast, Mr. Horton has been a celebrity fitness trainer for years in the land of celebrities, Southern California.
P90X made him a household name and national sensation right along with the workout itself. Now it looks like the stars might be aligned for the reemergence and prominence of one of his earlier workouts: Power Half Hour.
Power Half Hour is a 30 minute workout, start to finish which actually fathered many of the principles that made P90X so effective. Power Half Hour takes multiple different workouts isolating large muscle groups of the body contained on 5 dvds and throws them at you in succession.
Each day is a new 30 minute workout. You take the key concept of P90X (muscle confusion) and condense it down to 30 minutes rather than the mostly hour or more P90X workouts, and the concept is exciting.
If you could buy stock in just one workout for the potential to go sky high in popularity, my opinion is you should pick Power Half Hour. Beyond the emphasis on hard focused work and muscle confusion, it has the biggest thing going for it: Tony Horton designing it and leading it on tape.
To me, as a P90X veteran, what makes P90X go is the excitable, fun, intense and most of all knowledgeable approach Tony brings to each workout.
P90X or Power Half Hour are literally like having one of the elites in the business, who would normally be way out of your price range, right there adjusting every hand grip and form movement.
What gets lost in the energetic style, is Tony Horton brings amazing attention to detail. I can’t tell you how many times during an exercise in P90X that he would give a simple suggestion on form and the resulting effort and outcome would improve.
He seems to know every subtlety of everything he teaches. This is vital in a 30 minute workout where there isn’t time to screw around not doing things the right way.
With Power Half Hour and P90X Tony Horton has designed workouts with the modern user in mind. We are busy, we want results we can see and feel fast, and we want value for what we spend.
